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 primers and highlighters, foundations 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 make-up brush, in an essential step in your beauty routine that leaves skin flawless and baby soft. Clarins foundation hydrates, evens skin tone, and offers make-up 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 comfy from morning to night. The Clarins Laboratories have enriched each formula with precious plant extracts.

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 bolsters 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 shield skin from pollution, giving you that bare-faced feel for skin as good as new!

Clarins' range of foundations offers incredible colour options, and a range of different shades and textures. Whether you're looking for medium coverage, a satin finish, or more, you can expect to find the right foundation for you - and your skin tone. You'll also find our foundations come in a palette of undertones to help you achieve the right level of intensity. For a second-skin effect, your foundation needs to perfectly match your complexion and melt away into skin. Match your foundation shade number to the concealer to go with it.

Our Foundation Finder has been designed to make things easy for you, matching you with your perfect high, low, or medium coverage foundation to cover imperfections and enjoy a flawless finish. Shine-free, matte-finish, satiny glow, anti-ageing, ultra-nude, and luminous finishes: select your coverage and correction levels, and let the Foundation Finder work its magic. Whether you prefer a silky liquid, smooth compact, or plush compact formula, choose the texture that's right for you and your needs. For photo-ready application tips, follow our beauty experts' advice. Correction for every imperfection.

To see the best results from your foundation, apply a beige or pinky beige foundation to skin with pink or red undertones. If you have a sallow complexion or skin with yellow undertones, colour correct with a pinky beige or neutral foundation. And finally, reach for golden beige shades if your skin is olive or dark.
