Review: Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil Free Makeup

Hey guys! Long time no type! Today I thought I would give you guys a review on the Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil Free foundation. This is the foundation that I am currently using so I thought it would be helpful to give my opinion on this since not a ton of people talk about this foundation.


This bottle contains 1 FL OZ. (30 mL)
In the drugstore this will run about $12


First of the color I am (sort of) is number 20 natural ivory. I say sort of because it's not a perfect match but it's not so off that I can't wear it. Anyway so the four main points that I want to cover with this foundation are coverage, blendability, color selection, and lasting power. For each of the main points that I am going to cover I will include a score from 1-10 (1 being bad, 10 being great).
Coverage:
The coverage with this foundation, I would say, is about light to medium. Nothing more than that. So my suggestion is that if you have decent skin with mild acne then this might be the foundation for you. However if you have a ton of dark blemishes or acne that you want to cover, than this is not for you.
Score: 4
Blendability:
The blendability with this foundation is overall okay. It's not terribly hard to blend out this foundation, but it's not the easiest to blend either.
Score: 5
Color selection:
I believe that this type of foundation only comes with six colors total. I am not completely sure so don't quote me or anything but from what I've seen in the stores and online, the color selection is pretty slim. Unfortunately this is a problem for many so hopefully if you've been wanting to try this foundation out you can find you color. As I said "my color" isn't even my color (if that makes any sense) so I'm kind of disappointed with this.
Score: 5
Lasting power:
Overall I think that this foundation lasts a good amount of time. After my classes I will come home and then take off my makeup to workout so I usually don't need my foundation to last that long. However on the days that I go to work, I still find most of the foundation is still on my face. I say most because this definitely does not stay on my face all that well but I blame that on my oily skin.
Score: 6

Wow! Now that I look at all the scores that I gave this foundation, I kind of realized that I'm not such a huge fan. I don't hate this foundation by any means. I think for a casual going to school/work/friends house day, this is a perfectly fine foundation.

Thank you all so much!
