CITYist

While summer seems far in the horizon, it’s never too early to search for products that will not only beautify, but promise to hold up under the sweltering sun and heat of the city. Clinique has developed two phenomenal products that far succeed in doing both: Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup and Superbalanced Powder Bronzer.

The former product promises a solution to those with oily skin that challenges them to find the right foundation. Looking to find one that can give adequate covering while keeping a heavy feeling and excess shine and grease at bay? The Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup, $23.00, is a liquid foundation that is formulated especially for oily skin and comes in 20 shades.

The latter product, the Superbalanced Powder Bronzer, $34.50, helps those create the ideal radiant glow that is a stellar complement for all summer looks. It’s perfect for women who are busy jet-setting or running around the town as the bronzer starts as a pressed powder that is released as a fresh loose powder through a “shaver”. This compact mechanism gives the perfect amount of glow with each turn of the “shaver”. This allows for the bronzer to be customized for each individual. In addition to supplying a gorgeous sunless glow, the bronzer helps control oil and maintain skin’s moisture balance.

Both products will be available in May.
