Clarins
Until recently I had never tried any products from Clarins,
cosmetics or skincare alike. I don’t hear much about the brand from US beauty
bloggers but recently kept hearing their products brought up by a few of the European
and Canadian bloggers that I follow. I always knew they were a respected brand
but never felt like picking anything up… until recently that is.
I picked mine up in the shade 107 and it is a perfect match
for my skin tone. I picked this up online and tried my best to match with my
skin since I had never tried a foundation from Clarins before. The great thing
about this foundation is it comes in a wide range of colors, 14 to be exact. So you are sure to find a shade that works for
you. The bottle is also quite nice, glass with a good weightiness to it. This
can be good and bad. I like having a quality bottle especially when I am
shelling out a bit more on a high end foundation but it isn’t the most travel
friendly bottle. I tend to leave this one at home and bring a foundation that’s
more travel friendly if I am going to be on the road. It also comes with a pump
top making dispensing and application quite easy. No worries of dumping or
squeezing too much product out.
The formulation its self is liquid and buffs into the skin
easily. This is definitely a full coverage foundation that can be easily built
up to the fullest of coverage. Since this is so weightless feeling you won’t be
left with any cakiness. I do suggest moisturizing and using a primer beforehand,
especially if you may have dry patches because this can cling a little more to
those areas. Overall I felt like this foundation lasted me through the entire
work day keeping my t-zone matte but with still a natural finish to my skin. I don’t
think it last for 18hours like Clarins claims but close enough for me! It was
able to cover small acne spots and redness but I still found I needed a bit of
concealer on any spots that were more prominent.
After browsing the blogger and beauty world for a high
coverage long-lasting foundation that would work for my oily skin I stumbled upon
the new reformulation of Clarins Everlasting + foundation. With promises of 18hour flawless coverage
that is lightweight and natural I quickly added it to my cart. It’s formulated
with Bamboo Powder and Organic Quinoa for mattifying but comfortable
long-lasting wear.
I never tried the original formula so I can’t compare it but
I can say that I really enjoy using the new one. This isn’t the cheapest of
foundations but that is to be expected from a more highend brand like Clarins,
this retails for $40. Have you tried this foundation before? I would love to
hear from you in the comments!
