I think we all want that flawless skin and preferably also to post the #nomakeup selfies. But honestly, there is a bit of cheating going on, with some eyelashes and a touch of foundation. But how nice is it when you no longer need a separate foundation or different concealer sticks, but everything is in one jar? Well, I went to test if it really is that nice.

What does it promise?

Beyond Perfecting promises to be a foundation and a concealer in one. It offers full coverage without feeling heavy on the skin. Normally, you use two different products because foundation looks too heavy as concealer and you might need a different shade. But this one hydrates, provides full coverage, doesn’t clog pores, and doesn’t feel heavy. Not as foundation, not under the eyes. Oh, and it also promises to last for 12 hours. In rain and sunshine. Promises a lot, right? Now it just has to pass the test.

This does it

Josselin: “I think it would be wonderful not to have all sorts of different products in my bag and to have something to create a flawless look. The foundation is quite thick in texture. It promises that too, as it claims to provide enormous coverage. Believe me, it does. No blemish is visible anymore. Even moles can be greatly concealed. You really have to find the perfect color to keep it somewhat natural. As a concealer, I find it a bit too intense. If you suffer from extreme dark circles, it probably works perfectly, but if you want to maintain a natural appearance, I find it a bit too intense and thick. What is very nice is that you can apply it with an applicator, allowing you to apply the foundation in dots. The Beyond Perfecting doesn’t feel heavy, but it is definitely covering. In short, a nice product with intense coverage and as we know Clinique. Good for the skin, but a perfect color choice is necessary and you definitely need to maintain a good covering layer.‘
