WHY, CLINIQUE, WHY?

I've been using this powder since it came out. Why discontinue it? I guess I'm on the hunt for a new comparable powder. Very disappointing.

DISCONTINUE ALL MY FAVORITES!

I have used this for many years! Nothing you have recommended as a replacement even comes close. The shades are too dark and the coverage isn’t the same. Over the course of many years, you have continued to discontinue all the products I use. This especially being my favorite. I’m a disappointed long time Clinique user. Please consider consumer requests and bring this back.

Please bring this back I can’t find anything comparable. I used it for many years and it really is the best coverages and variety of shades. The new replacement does not have good coverage or enough shades and my face gets a sun burn when I wear it
