Clarins Skin Illusion Foundation 30ml
As a general rule, I like Clarins; they’re something of a
no-nonsense company; no pretty packaging or elaborate marketing campaigns,
they’re all about simple style and quality products and really, what more do
you really need from a cosmetic?
Skin Illusion Foundation is a perfect example of Clarins’
craft, described as ‘a sheer, super-supple, fluid foundation containing a brand
new cocktail of minerals and plant extracts that really do give the illusion of
natural, flawless, radiant skin.’ This cocktail comprises some really
interesting ingredients, including Pink Opal Powder and a Brazilian mineral
silicon to fill and smooth fine lines and ‘boost radiance,’ Pink
Algae Extract to hydrate, plump and tone the skin and a ‘plant-based
micro-patch (brown
algae extract and acacia gum)to prevent moisture loss. Add in an ‘Illuminating
Light-Optimising Pigment Complex’ and Anti-Pollution, Antioxidant and UV
protection, and you’ve got yourself a pretty damn fine foundation!
Skin Illusion comes in a perfectly practical, but simply stylish
pump bottle, which makes application an incredibly simple affair. Preferring
more of a light coverage, one pump is ideal for me, but an extra half may be
necessary for those who favour a more made-up look. Once on, this foundation
has a soft, almost glowy finish, hydrating without being oily and free from
patching or flaking. I’d say that this is more of a grown up product, not one
for blemish-prone skin, but ideal for anyone looking for a smooth, glowing
complexion.
Clarins Skin Illusion is £24 and available from all Clarins counters and online at www.clarins.co.uk.
