Overall, I am pleased with this foundation. I for the most part use powder foundation, with the exception of the Loreal True Match I tried this summer. I like the feel, very light and airy. ...

I love the consistency of the product and the feel of it. It is so silky soft. But, for me it looks very unnatural, overly matte, and the colour is not real. It glow, doesn't look pretty at all. It...

Mmmhpph... I am not sold. Although I am a fan of Clarinsins - espcially their skincare line - I have never found their foundations are outstanding. This one is no exception. I had this in Honey...

I really struggle with this. I have to take the palest shade as all the others are too yellow for my skin tone but that means I need bronzer or I look ill. You have to get just the right amount too...

I appreciate that Clarins took their time bringing this product to market because it is obvious that the extra effort that went into making this product exceptional was definitely worth the wait. ...

These reviews are only preliminary as I've only been using this for a couple days, but so far I adore it. The idea behind this foundation seems to be that it had the Instant Smooth primer already...

WOW!! I am in love with this foundation. It is like the second skin. Looks very natural. My face is matt the whole day long. I used to have Diorskin Forever and Guerlain Parure foundations but they...

This is a cream mousse foundation that goes on smoothly like most mousse makeups -there's a lot in the jar compared to others. But I didn't get medium coverage as stated, it was more like a light...

I have no idea why there are so few reviews for this product. I guess because frankly Clarins need to step it up a little, I truly haven't seen anything from them that excites me in goodness knows...

I got mine in a small 1ml sample too. Despite the measly 1ml tag, its actually a few day's worth of foundation in there. You don't need a lot really. Just 2 weeks ago, i got my hands on the...
