This is really pretty but it seems sort of spring-ish to me.
I totally agree. Underwhelming.
I’m sorry, but I thinks that photo looks ugly! I know would’nt want to go out like that!
if nothing else, her eyebrows make me cringe.
Cringe away!
I agree, it reminds me of what my makeup looked like when I was 13 years old D:
Clinique sucks. There products are horrible and there is nothing that ever catches my eye.
🙂 I feel and think the same!
Feels the same! Never cared for Clinique and this pic is unlikely to change my mind…
Don’t like promo pic and the m/u: looks done unprofessionally (and that’s supposed to be photoshopped… Yikes!)
I was interested until I saw the photo. 🙁 ah well.
hmmm, I was just thinking the same thing! they need to fire their makeup artist. :/
I love purple on the eyelid and I wear it regardless of season. Though the marketing is springlike.
I’m getting this outdated early 80’s vibe from the photo. Not for me. Although I did think the purple bows on the packaging was cute LoL.
Love purples…and I can actually visit a Clinique counter in my city.. When does this come out?
ummm… is it me or does the photo look like they added the makeup with PhotoShop later? it totally looks airbrushed on rather than in the picture. yech.
I like Clinique, and love purples, but I agree that the photo looks very 80’s. And while I love all things 80’s, I don’t really want anyone asking where the matching shoulder pads and stirrup pants are…
So many pretty colors! I have a lot of similar items in my makeup collection already so I can easily pass this one up; I’m not much of a Clinique person anyway.
That pic is horrible, the makeup is SO heavy handed and her lips look all crackled. ICK! What a turnoff!!!
That photo is absolutely horrible. That’s reason enough not to buy. We’ll see these products at the CCO! The only product I’d be mildly interested in checking out is the cream shaper.
I have always liked Clinque lipsticks. The Pinkberry lipstick looks to die for but I agree with several posters that it looks more like a spring launch.
If anything, it looks like the photo wasn’t over-photoshopped for once? Either way, boring collection.
I take that back… her left cheek (on the right side) looks kinda awkward.
Perhaps my GIMP makes her look more natural?

haha let this be a lesson to all. the whole collection is not meant to be used in one go but more individually.
IDK you did some wierd crap to her eyes or something…and you tanned her…and made her eyeliner a lil heavier.
I stopped using Clinique a long time ago – always had bad results. Anyway, I think the model is pretty but it looks like she has a lot of blush on. That’s the first thing I saw.
This is weird, the photo with the model was from our Modern Mattes fall 2008 collection (and it does look like they put color over it)…and where’s the 4 striped powder? I work for Clinique and the collection didn’t have a model for it. Christine I can scan my update sheet and let you see! This collection is coming out in mid-late October for Macys (we are the ones to get it first) then in November for everyone else.
yikes. i use clinique skincare exclusively and one of their lippies is my mlbb shade. but aside from that not really my thing. and that promo pic resembles me when i was 6 and found my moms makeup stash and played with it.
LOL!!! 😀
I’m sure your results were better than that…even at 6 years old!
Ugh. That photo is grody. I only own one Clinique beauty item anyway – a lip gloss. They’ve never impressed me much.
the model looks like shes from the 80s- wayyy too much blush on her cheekcs!
Ew, promo photo >_<
Meh. I’ve always seen Clinique as more of a skincare brand…so this lackluster collection doesn’t surprise me.
I agree, the line looks very springlike; Clinique never takes any risks with its color collections. And as for the dreadful photo — fake lashes much? They’re hanging off her eyelid like an awning!
I wish Clinique would step up its game — I appreciate a line with NO fragrance in its products (I hate lippies that reek of fake vanilla), but they’re just languishing, on its way to becoming Your Grandmother’s Makeup Line.
huge yawn
The color are pretty but not for a fall look
I simply adore Clinique’s Even Better foundation, probably one of the best out there. I’m not going to deny that I’m a huge 80’s fan, but I agree the picture for this collection is not a great one, heavy eyeshadow, blush doesn’t go together with the look, and the same goes for the lipstick…they to hire a new makeup artist for sure. I would probably pass this one for sure, they also need to come up with an amazing collection, bold colors, dark purples, reds, pinks, step up your game, you can totally do it, just put a little bit of effort next time!!!! =-)
Clinique is saving on photoshoots. Because this image was used last year for the fall collection with all the matte colours, they just changed the shades on the model with photoshop.
Nice colors, but that promo pic is just…ew.

I have the Long Last Glosswear Clearly Pink and I really like it… stays long, gives me a really pretty shine and pump!!!
sadly this pic makes clinique look bad even tough is not
totally agree
!!! I love clearly pink as well i just wish they payed for good photoshoots im still shopping there!
Horrible horrible photo. The makeup looks photoshopped, the model looks photoshopped.. awful.
The makeup itself looks nice though, I have a Color Surge eyeshadow and its one of my absolute favs.
yeah the photo looks completely 80s
