How to use a make-up primer
Once you've removed your make-up and hydrated your face with a moisturiser, applying your base or primer is the first step to stunning make-up results and a gorgeous glow. Shop around and choose your primer based on your skin type, priorities, and desired effect. Clarins' range of primers and highlighters keep skin protected, comfortable, and cared for. They visibly blur imperfections, and soothe redness, while priming skin for make-up thanks to their setting effects. Skin is left smooth and even, with your natural beauty enhanced and highlighted for perfect skin that lasts all day and night.
