New Foundation at 63

[pussinboots61]

As some of you may know the Clinique Even Better Glow foundation has been discontinued and the new one in it's place costs more at £39.00. I don't mind paying for quality but I now wonder if, at that price, it is superior to mid price products.

I like a glowy make up and not cakey. I used to use No7 before I went onto Clinique.

I am now 63 so don't want anything heavy. I fancy a tinted moisturiser as I wonder if foundation is too much now but it doesn't seem to give enough coverage.

Thank you

Sculpted by Aimee skin tint has a lovely glow and a light coverage available at most Boots about £25. I'm about to start my 2nd bottle, it's lovely

I have been using Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum. I bought a No 7 supposedly similar type last week. It is very disappointing. Going back to the clinique.

Thank you, I will look at that.

Which No7 one did you buy? Do you find Cinique is getting more and more expensive?

This one.

I can't remember what I paid for the Clinique one last time but I don't care having tried a cheaper one. Going straight back to Clinique.

I'm 64 if that helps.

I switched from Clinique even better to Clarins skin illusion and like it. I also like the Clarins skin detox which is a spf tinted moisturiser for summer. Probably not any cheaper but I usually buy when on offer.

I've seen that one and it does get good reviews. I got a sample of the No7 hydraluminous foundation at the weekend and it is nice but I think I prefer the Clinique. Don't you find Clinique is going up too much though? I don't know if you use other Clinique make up too. I use their eyeliner and lipsticks which are about £26.00 each and on top of the cost of foundation it's quite a lot, though it does last.

@pussinboots61 I don't know what I paid last time. I have just bought a new bottle for £39. I don't see how something I dislike is better value even if it is £20 less. I am sure I may feel differently if I had to watch the pennies. I think I'd rather economise on lipsticks, blusher and face powder than foundation.

Make-up, perfume and skin care is, on the whole, my one extravagance.

Clinique Foundation, chubby stick blusher and take off the day
Estee day, night and eye cream
No 7: concealer, highlighter, translucent powder and eyebrow pencil
Lancome for Mascara and lipstick

I maximise free gifts for travel sizes, lipsticks and Mascara.

If I'm honest I probably have enough lipsticks to last until I'm 90 and they can double up as blusher.

I don't do nails, facials or botox or very expensive stuff like trentonin.

Your regime sounds the same as mine. I have Clinqiue for foundation, lipstick and eyeliner and No7 for mascara and eyebrows. I do double up lipstick as a blusher too so that saves money.

When the Clinque assistant tested the new foundation on me and gave me a sample she used to the chubby stick blusher too and said that can also be used as a lipstick.

I have my hair done at the hairdressers as I like the way she colours it and couldn't get the same effect myself but as for nails, I have the odd manicure but other than that I do them myself. Skin care I like Liz Earle and I do like salon hair products but they all last ages.

Bare Pro by Bare Minerals. It’s like a tinted moisturiser with a bit more coverage.

I'm not far off your age and for daily wear always end up coming back to this cheaper alternative www.superdrug.com/make-up/face/bb-creams/garnier-oil-free-bb-cream-spf-20-light-50ml/p/811402?varSel=811527

Even have light for winter and medium for summer.

Enough colour but doesn't show up creases as badly
