I can't comment on Clinique's mineral foundation but I've used and liked several of their liquids in the past- before moving on to minerals. I can say that my sister sells Avon and always shares it with me. I'm not an Avon fan but like some of their things. The mineral foundation from Avon actually looks ok. It's loaded with lots of fillers and has parabens, but it covers and wears better than BE and some other mineral foundations that I've tried.
My favorite is Earthen Glow Minerals Cover Me. If you like lighter coverage then you might like Youthful Glow. Try one of their free foundation kits.
