Foundation and Concealer. One Step. Beyond Perfecting.

Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer is the groundbreaking, dual-function complexion product that eliminates the need for a separate concealer by combining full-coverage, skin-perfecting foundation with targeted concealing power in a single, expertly formulated product — delivering 24-hour wear, an oil-free formula, and full coverage that looks and feels like real skin across all skin types, in one streamlined step that simultaneously covers, perfects, and conceals the complexion. The Beyond Perfecting formula represents Clinique’s most comprehensive answer to the full-coverage foundation category — a product designed not just to cover the complexion but to perfect it, concealing dark circles, blemishes, redness, and hyperpigmentation with the same formula used to cover the entire face, so that the finish is seamless and the coverage is consistent from the lightest area of the face to the areas of deepest concealing concern. The 24-hour wear formula is oil-free and tested for all skin types — including oily and acne-prone skin where conventional full-coverage foundations most frequently fail, separating, oxidising, and migrating into fine lines and pores within hours of application. Clinique’s dermatologist-developed formulation philosophy and allergy-tested, fragrance-free commitment ensure that the Beyond Perfecting formula delivers its exceptional full-coverage, 24-hour performance without the skin-compromising ingredients that make many long-wear foundations unsuitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Full coverage. Built-in concealer. 24-hour wear. Beyond perfecting.

Key Benefits

• Full coverage in a single application that conceals dark circles, blemishes, redness, hyperpigmentation, and discolouration — the coverage of a foundation and concealer combined, applied in one seamless step
• Built-in concealer capability allows the same formula to be used for targeted, buildable coverage on areas of specific concern without requiring a separate concealer product or breaking the seamless finish
• 24-hour wear that maintains its coverage, colour, and finish integrity throughout extended daily wear without touch-ups, oxidising, or migrating into fine lines and pores
• Oil-free formula that is suitable for all skin types — including oily and acne-prone skin — without clogging pores, separating, or breaking down in the presence of excess sebum
• Allergy-tested and fragrance-free — Clinique’s dermatologist-developed formulation standards ensure that the foundation delivers its full-coverage, long-wear performance without sensitising ingredients
• Natural, skin-like finish that looks and feels like real skin rather than a visible layer of makeup — full coverage that achieves its result through colour-matching and light-diffusing technology rather than heavy texture

Suggested Use

Apply after moisturiser and SPF, using a foundation brush, damp beauty sponge, or fingertips. For all-over coverage: dispense a small amount onto the back of the hand and apply to the face in sections, starting at the centre and blending outward toward the hairline and jaw. Build coverage where needed by applying a second layer over specific areas before the first layer has fully set — the formula’s blendable texture allows seamless layering without streaking or a cakey appearance. For targeted concealing: use the same formula applied with a concealer brush or fingertip directly to areas of specific concern — under the eyes, on blemishes, along the nose — and blend the edges seamlessly into the surrounding foundation. Set with a fine-milled translucent powder to extend wear, control shine on the T-zone, and prevent any creasing under the eyes. For oily skin: apply after a mattifying primer and set with a long-wear setting powder for maximum 24-hour oil control and wear extension.

Key Features

• Foundation + Concealer in One — The Seamless Coverage Revolution: The fundamental innovation of the Beyond Perfecting formula is the elimination of the coverage inconsistency that results from using separate foundation and concealer products. When two different formulas are layered on the skin — a foundation and a separate concealer — the interaction between the formulas creates visible differences in texture, finish, and wear longevity in the areas where both products are applied. By formulating a single product that delivers both full-coverage foundation and targeted concealing power, Clinique eliminates this inconsistency entirely — the result is a seamless, uniform finish from the most lightly covered areas of the face to the areas of heaviest concealing application
• 24-Hour Wear — Full Coverage That Lasts All Day: The 24-hour wear claim of the Beyond Perfecting formula is among the most demanding performance standards in the foundation category — a claim that requires the formula to maintain its full coverage, colour accuracy, and finish quality through the sebum production, perspiration, humidity, and physical contact that degrade conventional foundations over the course of a working day. Clinique’s long-wear technology achieves this performance through a polymer-based film-forming system that creates a flexible, adherent coverage layer that moves with the skin without cracking or creasing while resisting the environmental factors that cause conventional foundations to break down
• Oil-Free, All Skin Types — Long-Wear Performance Without Compromise: The combination of full coverage, 24-hour wear, and oil-free formulation in a single product represents a formulation achievement that many foundations in the full-coverage category cannot match — conventional long-wear foundations frequently rely on emollient and occlusive ingredients that provide the formula’s film integrity but also contribute to pore congestion and sebum build-up in oily and acne-prone skin. Clinique’s oil-free formulation achieves the same long-wear film integrity through a different formulation approach that is genuinely appropriate for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin without the pore-congesting characteristics that make many full-coverage, long-wear foundations unsuitable for these skin types
• Clinique — Dermatologist-Developed Beauty Since 1968: Clinique was founded in 1968 on a revolutionary proposition — that beauty products should be developed by dermatologists, allergy-tested, and fragrance-free as a fundamental standard rather than a niche positioning. The Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer upholds this founding commitment — a full-coverage, 24-hour-wear foundation that delivers exceptional complexion performance while meeting Clinique’s non-negotiable standards of dermatological safety and skin tolerability
