<p>Clinique&rsquo;s new vitamin-infused SPF foundation just raised the bar for everyday coverage&mdash;lightweight, glowy, and now officially my new favorite.</p>

<p data-start="347" data-end="895">When it comes to foundation, I&rsquo;m incredibly picky&mdash;borderline impossible, honestly. I&rsquo;ve tried nearly every drugstore <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/foundation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">foundation</a> out there and always come back to the same conclusion: I need something lightweight, dewy, and barely detectable. If my foundation looks too thick, matte, or cakey, it throws off my entire look. Plus, I can have sensitive skin and don't want to aggravate it. When Clinique launched its <a href="https://www.clinique.com/product/1599/131489/makeup/foundations/even-better-clinicaltm-vitamin-makeup-broad-spectrum-spf-45?shade=Light_Medium_Cool_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 45</a>, I was cautiously optimistic.</p>
<p data-start="347" data-end="895">Lately, my skin has been feeling extra dry and reactive&mdash;probably from wearing foundation daily&mdash;so I appreciated the idea of using something that actually helps improve my skin while I wear it. What intrigued me most is how this formula leans into <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/skincare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skincare</a>. It contains vitamins B3, C, and E to support the skin&rsquo;s natural energy, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and acetyl glucosamine to smooth and resurface over time. The added SPF 45 and protection from blue light were a welcome bonus as summer inches closer, (and I'm always typing away at my computer.)</p>
<p data-start="347" data-end="895">After wearing it out on a few long nights, I&rsquo;m sold. This SPF foundation feels incredibly light on the skin&mdash;almost like I&rsquo;m wearing nothing&mdash;but still manages to even out my tone and give that subtle, healthy glow I love. It&rsquo;s not meant for full coverage (don&rsquo;t expect it to cancel out a breakout on its own), but that&rsquo;s where concealer comes in. It&rsquo;s the kind of base that makes your skin look like your skin&mdash;just better.</p>

<p data-start="1822" data-end="2166">While Clinique recommends blending a few drops in with your fingers like a moisturizer, I opted for my usual routine. Using a damp beauty blender, I was able to get a smooth, even finish without any streaks. With 28 shades and a <a href="https://www.clinique.com/product/1599/131489/makeup/foundations/even-better-clinicaltm-vitamin-makeup-broad-spectrum-spf-45?shade=Light_Medium_Cool_2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$48</a> price point, I've found the Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 45 is a solid investment if you&rsquo;re looking for something that sits between skincare and makeup. If you&rsquo;re someone who wants your foundation to work <em data-start="2220" data-end="2226">with</em> your skin, not just sit on top of it, this one&rsquo;s absolutely worth a try.</p>
