Clinique Superbalanced Makeup 30ml in shade 27 Alabaster is a long-running, oil-free liquid foundation designed for combination skin — adding moisture where the skin is dry and absorbing oil where it shines. The result is a balanced, naturally perfected finish with moderate coverage, suited to women whose skin behaves differently in different areas. Alabaster is a pale, neutral shade aimed at fair complexions with cool-to-neutral undertones.
About Clinique
Founded in New York in 1968 as the first dermatologist-led prestige beauty brand, Clinique has built its complexion line around allergy-tested, fragrance-free formulas that work for sensitive skin. Superbalanced Makeup has been a cornerstone of that line for years, particularly for customers who want a working-day foundation rather than full coverage.
Key benefits
- Oil-free, sweat- and humidity-resistant formula that holds up through long days.
- Moderate, buildable coverage with a natural skin-like finish.
- Self-balancing technology — adds moisture to dry zones, controls oil in the T-zone.
- Allergy tested, fragrance free, dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.
- Non-acnegenic, suitable for blemish-prone skin.
Who it's for
Superbalanced suits dry-combination and combination-oily skin types — anyone whose forehead and nose tend to shine while the cheeks feel tight or dry. Alabaster is best for fair complexions with cool or neutral undertones; if your skin pulls warm or you sit slightly deeper, Clinique's Superbalanced shade range offers more than two dozen alternatives. A reliable everyday foundation for office, school run, and weekend wear.
How to use
- Start with cleansed, moisturised skin and your usual primer if you use one.
- Shake the bottle gently to mix the formula.
- Dispense a small amount onto the back of the hand or directly onto the fingertips.
- Apply with fingertips, a damp sponge or a foundation brush, blending outwards from the centre of the face.
- Build coverage gradually on areas that need more correction; set the T-zone with a light dusting of pressed powder if needed.
