If you used to use Clinique Almost Make Up, what do you use now?

I miss this stuff so much. It took me years to find something that worked for me, not too heavy and not too oily and then they went and discontinued it!
If you used to use tge Almost Makeup, what do you use now? I have tried the clinique bb & cc creams but I find they look chalky and too obvious on my skin.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I loved that one too. I've tried a few and come to the conclusion that tinted moisturiser is the way to go for me. Benefit You Rebel Lite is good and I've got a Nars tinted moisturiser at the moment that I really like.

Bobbi brown bb cream and their tinted moisturiser mixed together!

If I'm going out I wear double wear light.

I loved almost makeup too!

I loved Almost Makeup too. It was the first "foundation" I ever used.
Natio's Tinted Moisturiser (or here) is a good alternative,
or their Pure Mineral Foundation is also nice and light, with good coverage.

why did they stop it? i used to use it. I thought it was a good seller? Obv not.

After trying lots of £££ alternatives I've settled on No7 Triple Protection tinted moisturiser as my next best option.

Oil of Olay moisturiser with a touch of foundation is the best bb type cream I've tried. Better than a lot of more expensive ones...think it's only about a tenner...

Thanks for the ideas. I guess tinted m is the closest thing then rather than foundation.
Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks

I second boots no.7 tinted moisturiser, plus if you get one of those £5 off skincare vouchers and buy when skincare on 3 for2 it's a real bargain. Comes up as skincare because it's also a moisturiser.

I heard the discontinued because it did really badly in America. Apparently our US sisters prefer a matte look as opposed to a dewy one. I miss it so much!

Clinique's Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser is pretty close. I bought it when they discontinued Almost Makeup as the sales assistant assured me it was pretty much the same product...it is not exactly the same, a bit runnier, but just as good I think.

Another one here for Oil of Olay with a touch of foundation. Smells nice too.

For those times I need a foundation, I have the new Double Light Estee Laudee (like Double wear but a much much much lighter version!)
