Alternative to Clinique Gentle Light Foundation

Citygirl1

I've had it truly confirmed, my favourite foundation is being discontinued yet again so am looking for an alternative. I do use No7 tinted moisturiser which is good but I do love my Clinique, even though now I guess I could use the fact that the foundation is discontinued as a reason to find something cheaper

I am currently menopausal and will be for some time so am wondering that, although I love the glowy look, I might be better with a powder, but I don't get on with mineral powder foundations, but I want something that doesn't settle into fine lines and dry my skin.

Any ideas will be welcome

Sorry but its true. I asked in our Boots in town the other day and the assistant said she had a hunch that its being discontinued as they hadn't been sent any more stock. I asked in the Boots at Meadowhall just to be sure and she said they had just sold the last bottle and its deffo going. What are we gonna do?

gonna speak to someone at clinique or john lewis and see what the next best thing is
bobby brown and lancome/estee lauder do good foundations. or chanel / dior.
i've checked a few websites and all sold out so it looks like thats it...

Its a real pain when this happens, I might go for something a bit cheaper now but shall see.

Clinique is owned by the Lauder Group http://www.elcompanies.com/our_brands/our_brands.asp so it might be worthwhile you researching their other brands, personally I would take a look at MAC and Bobby Brown for alternatives in that price range, cheaper but excellent other brands are Maybelline and Revlon.

bobbi brown skin foundation seems a good match aswell as luminous moisturizing foundation
