My Clinique foundation oxidizes badly on my skin, has anyone else seen this?

A lot of people say that Clinique and other types of foundation "oxidize" on their skin, which means that the color changes or gets darker after being applied because of chemical reactions.

This happens when pigments, especially iron oxides, mix with the oils on your skin, the pH of the air, or both, making the color darker or more orange.

Clinique even markets some of their products, like their "Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation," as "oxidation-proof," which is a way of saying that they know oxidation happens a lot.
