About Clinique

Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup is one of Clinique's most loved liquid foundations for combination and oily skin types.

Shade — 9 Neutral
9 Neutral is a balanced, neither-too-warm-nor-too-cool mid-tone shade — suited to medium complexions whose undertone is neither obviously yellow/golden (warm) nor pink/red (cool). It is one of the most universally flattering shades in the Stay-Matte range and works beautifully year-round on neutral-toned skin.
Key benefits
- Long-wearing matte finish — controls shine through long days and warm weather.
- Oil-free formulation won't trigger or worsen oily-skin breakouts.
- Light, comfortable feel — no caked or mask-like appearance.
- Buildable medium coverage — evens out tone, blurs blemishes and uneven texture.
- Allergy-tested, fragrance-free — sensible choice for sensitive skin.
Who it's for
Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup in 9 Neutral is for those with combination or oily skin who struggle with shine and want a foundation that genuinely lasts. The oil-free formulation is also a sensible pick for those who are blemish-prone. The neutral-toned 9 shade works for those with medium complexions whose skin doesn't lean strongly warm or cool. A natural fit for office workers, students, and anyone who needs a "set and forget" foundation that lasts the day.
How to use
- Start with cleansed, moisturised skin. For oilier skin types, use a lighter, oil-free moisturiser.
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Dispense 1–2 pumps onto the back of the hand or directly onto the face.
- Blend evenly with a damp makeup sponge, foundation brush or fingertips — start at the centre of the face and blend outwards.
- Build up in thin layers where additional coverage is needed.
- Set with a translucent powder across the T-zone for the longest-lasting matte effect.
