Foundation

Each Clarins foundation formula captures the essence of our passion for skincare and treating skin to goodness, in line with the rest of the Clarins facial skincare ranges. At Clarins, we take skincare beyond day creams, incorporating it into our make-up, too. Alongside our bases and highlighters, foundations prime and prepare skin for perfection. They restore glow, erase flaws and imperfections, and smooth away the signs of ageing. Whether you prefer powder, compact, or liquid formulas, all Clarins foundations are designed to be applied with your fingertips or a brush, in an essential step in your beauty routine that leaves skin flawless and baby soft. Clarins foundation hydrates, evens skin tone, and offers a perfect long-wearing hold. Everything you need for a smooth, even complexion, radiant glow, and make-up that lasts all day long. Like skin, only better!

Perfecting your skin and getting that all-important smooth, even finish shouldn't prevent it from breathing properly. Clarins foundations support skin, keeping it beautiful and comfortable from morning to night. Clarins Laboratories have enriched each formula with precious plant extracts. The organic Kiwi in our Milky Boost helps to encourage energy production. Organic Leaf of Life is one of our Skin Illusion's active ingredients, and ensures skin is drenched in moisture. The Chicory extract in Everlasting Youth Fluid helps to boost collagen synthesis, while the bamboo powder mattifies, correcting shine triggered by stress, humidity, and heat. Skin is left matte throughout the day. The Jania Rubens extract offers organic exfoliating action and naturally enhances glow for skin blooming with health. Whether in liquid foundation or powder foundation form, Clarins foundations provide flawless coverage and a perfectly even complexion with a sheer, natural finish. Skin is kept hydrated from morning to night, with an even, natural effect that leaves skin free to breathe. The Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex helps to shield skin from pollution, giving you that bare-faced feel for skin as good as new!
