Exchanging Clinique make-up?

Hi all,

My lovely dad thought he was really treating me by buying me a bottle of my favourite Superbalanced foundation from Clinique. Unfortunately he went and bought a colour that is way to dark for me (bless him).

I've never returned make-up before, will a Clinique counter let me change it for the correct shade? I haven't opened the bottle, its obviously too dark just by looking at the outside. I haven't plucked up the courage to tell him yet and so don't have the receipt, how likely are they to let me exchange it?

Thanks

    I returned a bottle of EL foundation that was too dark for me before with no problems, like yours it was unopened and unused they are the same company as Clinique so I would give it a go:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    I couldn't exchange at a clarins counter without the receipt. Even though I knew the staff and shop there a lot, it was a gift that I wanted to exchange for a different shade and couldn't
    If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got!
  • i have taken clinique stuff back and swapped before at boots and generally boots staff arent that fussy, explain situation as long as everything looks ok resellable they should be fine :)

    I have returned clinique make-up before to exchange it for another shade and had no problems at all. Should be fine for you to do :)
