"I have been a Clinique user for over 20 years, but only recently started using the Moisture Sheer Tint. I love it! I've tried the newer version of the tinted moisturizer (Moisture Surge), and I don't care for it. I can't even find a color that suits me as well as the Beige tint of the Moisture Sheer. Please return the older product to your lineup, and I'll be a happy customer (p.s. I miss the old eye shadow colors: Stormy and Honeybunch, too.) Thank you,"

Bad replacement for tinted moisturizer

May 18, 2012
"It is now the second time that Clinique replaces a tinted moisturizer in a matter of a few years. The first one was Almost Make Up and now apparently the Moisture Sheer Tint that replaced it, is also being taken off the shelves.
Not a good move to retain loyal customers, Clinique! It takes a long time for me to find the right beauty products but when I do, I am the most loyal buyer.
I have used Clinique for 8-10 years but I hate that they replace products so often and I will switch back to my previous brand."

NOT a replacement for moisture sheer tint

May 16, 2012
"I tried this to replace my beloved moisture sheer tint and it was awful. It's too thick and heavy and the color is off. Clinique has lost a loyal customer."

The Best I found!

May 15, 2012
Pros: light covers well doesn't make me oily
Cons: none that found
"I have gone through a lot of foundation. I do not like anything heavy and hate looking like I have tons of makeup. This product is by far the best. It feels light, gives color, matches well, doesn't make me oily, and best of all even though it is very light it covers imperfections with just a little coverage. I would say this is by far the best foundation/tinted moisturizer yet. I have very sensitive skin and this makeup keeps my face free of clogged pours and break outs. This is the winner for me. Thank you Clinique!"

Bring back Almost Makeup

May 15, 2012
"This is a terrible replacement for Almost Makeup. It is heavier on my face and does not go on as well as Almost Makeup. It does not stand up well in the humidity and heat. I could wear the Almost Makeup to work in the garden and to swim and feel confident that I looked good without my foundation running off my face. This container is messy, hard to close and gets all over everything when putting on. Please, please bring back Almost Makeup."

Most Disappointing Replacement Product Ever

May 12, 2012
"Have been using Almost Makeup since it was first introduced. This is not a good replacement. It has the appearence of being an unnatural color and feels much heavier on the skin. Please bring back Almost Makeup!"

Not as good as Almost Makeup

May 7, 2012
"This makeup is ok, although I can't seem to get a shade that looks really natural, even by mixing shades. Almost Makeup was perfect for me. It covered well and looked natural. I don't like the look of heavy makeup, and I will make do with this product, but I sure would like to have Almost Makeup back."

Lazy day!

May 5, 2012
Pros: easy, fast, great moisturizer
Cons: need more coverage for breakouts
"This product is perfect when I am feeling a bit clogged in the face or short on time. It is so easy to apply I would let my 2 year old cousin put it on. It is a must for spring/summer time!"

I bought the wrong color

April 23, 2012
Pros: improved my skin texture, worked well with my rosacea
Cons: shade i picked too light
"My mistake, I bought too light a color and this moisturizer tint was too light for me, but I used up the whole bottle anyway because my skin texture got better and better each time I used the moisturizer. I have rosacea and it didn't make the rosacea worse. I prefer a natural look and this was a bit heavier than I personally like but on the other hand it had no scent which I can be allergic to. I will just order a darker shade next time and use it more sparingly and all will be good."

New moisture surge vs. almost makeup

April 15, 2012
"Horrible, heavy and thick. The bottle is terrible, I could use my almost makeup down to the last drop. This bottle starts squirting makeup everywhere when about half done. I store it upside down and squeeze it over the sink, so I don't get it all over me and my clothes. Please go back to the almost makeup or at least it's packaging. I had used it for 15 + years and now am looking at other brands. This stuff is awful!!"

Horrible "replacement" for Almost Makeup

March 23, 2012
Pros: none
Cons: unnatural color once on face, looks heavy and uneven, caused skin to break out, texture gloppy
"I have been a long-time Clinique customer, using the products for 30 years! When Almost Makeup came out, it was perfect for me. I was disappointed to learn that it had been discontinued, but was told that there was this Moisture Surge that would be the perfect replacement. It is awful! It is gloppy, has a funny color and texture to it, and worst of all, it made my face break out terribly (which I have never had). I went back to scraping out the last bit of Almost Makeup that I had in the tube, and it has taken me two weeks for my face to clear up from the Moisture Surge breakout. Please, please - bring back the Almost Makeup line!!!"

Does not replace Almost Makeup product.

February 26, 2012
Cons: unnatural looking, makes pores more visible, puts a sheen on skin that looks fake
"Looking for a replacement for Clinique's Almost Makeup and this is not it. Doesn't blend well and emphasized pores (!!) instead of minimizing them. Gave an odd sheen to skin that looked unnatural."

Perfect Choice for Me!

February 12, 2012
"I am a lifelong Clinique fan, and have tried many, many products either through purchase or the bonus gifts. However, I most recently had been using a foundation from a different brand that was much higher priced and was also very nice. That product had been discontinued, so I turned back to Clinique.
This tinted moisturizer is pretty fantastic. It provides coverage, but you feel like you aren't wearing makeup at all!! I got Shade 3, and it instantly blends right into my skin tone to the point where I barely see it even while still applying it! It feels lovely on, too. I have not tried "building" coverage but I am sure it would still look as natural. I have been using the Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser to remove it prior to my 3 step.

Tried it. Liked it.

February 9, 2012
Pros: soft & creamy coverage
"Although I used Almost Makeup for years, I tried this product last summer and liked it. In order to make it feel lighter like Almost Makeup, I amply apply moisturizer to face and while palms are still slick from the moisturizer, dab the foundation onto my palms, rub them together and apply to face before moisturizer has totally been absorbed. My only problem is that while 04 is just right for summer, 03 is too dark for winter and 02 is too light. Now have an 02 and an 04 and can shade as suits my skin tone no matter what season. Works better with the concealers than Almost Makeup did so that's a big plus."

Nice product, good coverage for tinted moisturizer

February 7, 2012
Pros: good coverage for tinted moisturizer!
Cons: smells a little bit funny (not a deal breaker)
"After reading the reviews, I have to DISAGREE with all of the negative feedback. I think that this is a good product. The amount of coverage is good (better than I expected) for a tinted moisturizer, and it is a smooth, nice feeling formulation."

Obsessed with this foundation

January 30, 2012
Pros: lightweight coverage, spf 15, makes my skin feel great and hydrated
"I had really dry skin by the time winter hit so I started researching different Clinique foundations. The moisture surge tinted moisterizer caught my eye! I went to a clinique counter for a consultation and she put this on my face and I fell in love! I use this every single day with a foundation brush (more even coverage) and it looks amazing! I would definitely recommend buying this product!"

For those of us who hated Almost Makeup

January 22, 2012
Pros: soft color, smotth texture, lasts
"For my skin, this product delivers where Almost Makeup never did. Judging from other reviews, if you loved the old Almost Makeup, you won't like this, but if Almost Makeup frustrated you, this is worth a try. Over Moisture Surge this is great, soft, hydrating, true color (I'm a bit on the yellow side), doesn't settle in creases or lines, moderate even coverage and long-lasting."

It's okay...

January 22, 2012
Pros: semi-nice coverage
Cons: hard to blend, heavy feeling
"I've never heard anything about this product when I bought it, and honestly, it's not that bad. If you have oily skin, stay far away! I feel like my skin was greasy by the end of the day, even when using blotting papers. The coverage is actually pretty good, but nothing comparable to a sheer foundation. Blending this sucker is almost impossible, I've found I have to use my moisturizer in order to make it semi-blendable! It also leaves a heavy feeling on your skin if you don't blend it out.
Overall, I'd say get a sample first. But even after using this product since October, I'll never repurchase this ever again."
