Even Better Refresh™ Hydrating and Repairing Makeup

Even Better Refresh is Clinique's full-coverage foundation for skin that runs genuinely dry — the kind that usually makes base makeup cling and flake by midday. It hydrates while it covers, and the brand rates it for a full 24 hours of wear with a natural, non-flat finish.

What it actually does

• Full coverage that still reads like skin. Clinique describes the result as flawless full coverage finishing natural rather than mask-like.
• Hydrates across a 24-hour wear window. This is positioned as a hydrating foundation, not a mattifying one — the moisture is part of the formula's job, not an afterthought.
• Blurs pore texture. The brand's claim is a virtually poreless look once it's blended out.
• Smooths and plumps. Clinique says it works toward a younger-looking, revitalised surface over wear.
• Matched to one skin type in particular. It's built for the Very Dry to Dry end of the range, and Clinique notes it is a dermatologist recommended foundation brand.

How to use

1. Begin at the middle of the face and work the product outward.
2. Layer more where you want extra coverage — it builds rather than needing one heavy pass.
3. At the end of the day, lift it off with a Clinique makeup remover.

Questions

How heavy is the coverage?

Full — this is the high-coverage end of Clinique's foundation range. The finish is natural, so it covers without turning flat, and you can keep it lighter by using less and building only where you need it.

Will it last a full day?

Clinique rates it at 24-hour wear. How that plays out depends on your skin, the weather and whether you set it — treat the number as the brand's claim rather than a guarantee.

I have oily skin. Should I get this one?

Probably not. It's specifically formulated for very dry and dry skin, so the hydration that makes it work there can feel like too much on oily skin. Message us and we'll point you to a better match in the range.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Shades we hold ship at the faster end; shades we source for you take longer. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays.

How can I pay?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets. There is no cash on delivery option.

Can I return it if the shade is wrong?

No — returns cover defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery. Approved cases are refunded to the original payment method within 15–30 days. Ask us before ordering and we'll help you narrow the shade down.
