Tell me about Clinique?

Question

Im really considering getting some stuff by Clinique but i've never tried them before.
Im 15, would that brand be ok for my age?
I need under eye concealer, foundation, and powder.
I've also been wondering about the Clinique 3 step skin care system, ya know those 3 bottles one purple or whatever. Wondering if that's any good. I dont know what's okay for my age, i dont wanna use something meant for 40 year olds or anythin.
I just need some advise, like what's good, what's bad, what's your experience with this stuff. Maybe even how long it lasts.

Thanks :)

ps. about the cleansing system, i have oil and dry skin. combination skin i mean. would that be ok to use that stuff?

oh and another thing: i dont have acne or anything. my cheeks and stuff are just not so evenly colored, sometimes more pinkish or darker in some places, changes throughout the day. not a disease or anything.
and i use the coverup for dark circles under my eyes.

Answer 1

Clinique is a very good company,costs a little more,but the stuff lasts a long time.I was your age when I started using their system and I still do.The soap is very good to wash your face with, and they will select a clarifying lotion for you,its not just the pink bottle.The cream may be too heavy for you so go with the lotion.Otherwise powders and light concealers ,I'm sure you'll get great help with form the sales people.Also ask for trial sizes to take home,they always have lots.
Good luck,oh it's also hypoallergenic and not tested on animals.Good stuff.

Answer 2

Clinique is appropriate for your age. But do you really need concealer, foundation and powder???? You probably have beautiful skin; keep it that way. Don't block your pores with all that junk. Stick to a powder blush if you need anything at all. Clinique makes blush in a wide range of colors, and it lasts a long time.

If you have acne, try a true acne product, not Clinique. Oxy 10 is good.

Answer 3

Clinique would definitely be ok for your age. I used it in Jr High and High school. They have a pore minimizing line of makeup for oily skin that might work well for you. Chat with the people at their counter and take their "skin computer" test. Their 3 step cleansing system is fairly decent (but I prefer Proactive).

Also while you're in the makeup section of the department store, check out Lancome. They have great makeup as well but it's more pricey than Clinique. I especially love Lancome lipglosses.

Answer 4

Honestly it builds up on your face too much and can make a lot of people break out. I would try MAC makeup. i think you are too young for foundation. At your age you should use a little pressed powder, mascara, and a little bit of blush. Don't forget lip gloss, not lipstick. Neutrogena has an excellent skin program which is the mild face cleanser bar, pore refining toner, and also a great SPF moisturizer. I have used so many brands and even at my age (33) I still love Neutrogena. My face is always clear and I use these products every day.

Answer 5

I love Clinique! I get compliments on my skin all the time, and I will not use any other brand. I do not know about your age situation, or what would be good for your skin, but I have found their consultants to be very knowledgable. I use their face bar and their daily lotion. I do not do the three step program, because one of the products irritated my skin when I tried it. The soap and the lotion are perfect for my needs. The best time to purchase from them is during bonus days when you can get the free stuff with your order!

Answer 6

k , to put it simply, do not use foundation, undereye concealer and powder! it's not b/c of your age, but because it sounds like you have good skin, and all that makep would dull it down and make it cakey...especially stuff from Clinique. They are great for Lips, and Eyes, but not skin stuff. The 3-step system is a waste of $. I'm not even kidding, just stick to Noxema foaming cleanser, twice a day and oil-free moisturizer. Invest in a great concealer for blemishes, like Zapparella! from Benefit. It's amazing. And THAT'S all you need :)

Answer 7

Well my aunt, shes about 20 and she uses clinique.. and i have to say their foundation just doesnt look nice.. but their skin care systems, in my personal oppinion, are great! i use it every morning and night! especially their toners! And if you dont know exactly what products are for your skin.. the person whos at the counter will help you decide which skincare system is best for your type of skin.. either your very dry, very oily, or combination skinned. So yea.. i say thumbs up to their skin care line!! ;)

Answer 8

ok first of all clinique is a good make up brand BUT for certain things! i once used there foundations and concealers and uh uh sweety i looked like micheal myers! they are highy recomended by me for there eyeshadows NO lip glosses never last and taste gross! perscriptives is a great face makeup DONT USE MAC!!! its all studio makeup to strong for delicate skin makes u break out! and for lips i use channel and este lauder but benefit and clinique are the cheapest but member u might consider using a nice chuck of change for make up dont use store bought make up from walgreens breakout city! after all this is ur face ppl are looking at so the $ will b so worth it! oh and the three step cleansing system is not as good as any other product the big bar of soap is to drying and the toner makes ur skin tight plus to top it off the yellow miosterizer makes u look like ur melting! i dont recomend it!:( but member the best way to judge somthing is to try it so go to the makeup counter and ask for wat u like to put on u!

Answer 9

I LOVE Clinique! It's great. The consultants can help you tailor a combination that will be perfect for you. They have several basic options, but it works for all skin types. It's all in the right combination. The products are kind of pricy, but they last a really long time.

Answer 10

I've tried so many different brands of make-up it's unbelievable!
and clinique is one of them. I wasn't that impressed with their make-up or their skin care. They don't have samples so you can try things, and I ended up buying a bunch of stuff that didn't work for me and I was stuck with it.
I would recommend that you try mary kay skin care, they have some great stuff. And their skin care and make-up is appropriate for any age. they have samples of everything, so you can try it before you buy it. and if you have any problems with their products after you buy them, they will exchange it.
you can go to mary kay.com and find a rep. close to you.
also I just have to add that Lancome has some great make-up too. But their stuff is a lot more expensive than mary kay cosmetics.
hope this helps you out!!
