Clinique Even Better Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Foundation 30ml CN 52 Natural

This liquid foundation from Clinique is designed to do more than just cover — it both covers and treats. Key features:

• Dermatologist-developed with a skin-care approach: it contains brightening ingredients and claims to visibly reduce dark spots over time. 

• Offers moderate coverage with a natural finish — enough to even out skin tone but still look like skin. 

• Includes Broad Spectrum SPF 15 — giving you a base level of sun protection to help guard against future discoloration from UV exposure. 

• Stay-true pigments: designed so the colour doesn’t shift or oxidize dramatically on skin. 

Key Benefits

Here are the major benefits you’ll get from this foundation:

• Improves appearance of dark spots / uneven tone: The foundation isn’t just makeup — it has brightening actives (vitamin C + other extracts) so with regular use you may see improved clarity. 

• Sun-protection bonus: With SPF 15 built-in, you’re getting extra protection (though not enough alone for extended sun exposure) helping to reduce new discoloration.

• Natural, skin-like finish: For those who dislike heavy “mask” looks, this is more natural, making it suitable for daily wear and lifestyle shots (which seems relevant to your brand work).

• Good shade range & neutrality: The “CN 52 Neutral” shade suggests a neutral undertone (neither strongly warm nor strongly cool), which is useful for matching many Indian skin tones/undertones.

• Formula benefits: According to the Indian product page, the formula is “creamy”, hydrates & smooths skin, is sweat/humidity resistant, and is non-acnegenic.

How to Use

Here’s a recommended application method to make the most of it:

1. Prep your skin – Cleanse, moisturize, and apply any serums/primer you usually use. Good prep helps the foundation apply evenly.

2. Apply primer (optional) – If you work in studio light or with brand-photography, applying a light primer can help the finish and longevity.

3. Shake / prime the bottle – Make sure the foundation is well mixed.

4. Dispense product – A pea to almond-size for the 30 ml bottle is usually a good start.

5. Apply starting from centre of face – Dot product on cheeks, forehead, chin, then blend outwards. The Clinique instructions: “Start in center of face, blending outward.” 

6. Blend thoroughly – Use your brush, sponge or fingers to blend along jawline, hairline, nose area so there’s no obvious line of demarcation.

7. Build coverage where needed – For any darker spots or uneven tone, add a second light layer rather than one thick layer everywhere (helps keep a natural finish).

8. Set if required – If you have oilier skin or will be under lights, you may want to set with a translucent powder or setting spray.

9. Sun-protection reminder – Although this has SPF 15, if you’ll be outdoors for significant time (especially in India/HU weather) wear a dedicated sunscreen underneath for full protection.

10. Removal & nightly care – Because the formula contains active ingredients and broad-coverage elements, ensure you remove makeup fully at night so your skin stays healthy.
