Superbalanced™ Makeup

Clinique Superbalanced Makeup is a long-wearing, oil-free foundation written for combination skin — the kind that's tight across the cheeks and shiny down the middle. It gives moderate coverage and a natural finish, reading like skin rather than a layer on top of it.

What it actually does

• Treats dry and oily zones differently. Clinique describes it as adding moisture and taking away oil wherever each is needed, so the cheeks and the T-zone don't get the same treatment.
• Built for combination skin. The brand lists it for Dry Combination and Oily Combination skin types specifically.
• Moderate coverage, natural finish. Enough to even things out without going full mask; the silky texture is meant to leave a naturally perfected look.
• Oil-free and long-wearing. No added oil in the formula, and it's positioned as a foundation that stays put through the day.
• From a dermatologist-recommended foundation brand, per Clinique.

How to use

1. Begin in the middle of the face and work outward, using a foundation brush or just your fingers.
2. Blend evenly so the coverage stays smooth and natural-looking rather than patchy.
3. Damp fingertips for the edges. Wet your fingertips slightly and press along the perimeter — especially the jawline — so there's no visible line.
4. Take it off with a Clinique makeup remover at the end of the day.

Questions

How much coverage does it give?

Moderate — enough to even out tone with a natural finish, not a full-coverage result.

Will it make an oily T-zone worse?

The formula is oil-free, and Clinique's claim is that it subtracts oil where skin needs that while adding moisture where skin is dry. It's listed as suitable for Oily Combination skin.

Brush or fingers?

Either — the brand gives both. Whichever you use, start centrally and blend out, then press the edges in with damp fingertips so the jawline disappears.

When will it reach me?

3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Shades we hold ship sooner; shades we bring in for you sit at the longer end of that window. Working days don't include weekends or official holidays.

How do I pay for it?

By credit card, debit card, Instapay or mobile wallet. We don't take cash on delivery.

Can I return it if the shade is wrong?

No — returns are for defective, damaged or expired items only, reported within 1 day of delivery, with refunds to the original payment method in 15–30 days. If you're unsure which shade to order, message us before you buy and we'll help you narrow it down.
