How do I choose the right foundation for my skin type?
Selecting the perfect foundation depends on understanding your skin's unique needs.

Mature skin will appreciate our Everlasting Youth Fluid, which contains chicory extract to boost collagen synthesis and restore youthful radiance with sophistication.

When is the best time to apply foundation in my beauty routine?
Foundation should always be applied after your skincare routine has fully absorbed. Begin with cleansed skin, followed by your toner, serum, and moisturizer. Allow these products to settle for at least two minutes before applying foundation. If you're using a foundation with SPF, it can serve as your daytime sun protection, though we recommend layering it over a dedicated sunscreen for optimal protection.
For a natural finish, apply foundation to the center of your face first and blend outward. This technique ensures the product is distributed evenly while using less product where you need less coverage.

How can I ensure my skin breathes properly while wearing foundation?
Perfecting your skin with a smooth, even finish shouldn't prevent it from breathing properly. Clarins foundations support skin health while keeping it beautiful and comfortable from morning to night. Our laboratories have enriched each formula with precious plant extracts specifically chosen for their skincare benefits.
For instance, some of our products contain organic leaf of life which ensures continuous hydration throughout the day. Others use jania rubens extract to provide gentle exfoliating action and to naturally enhance your skin's natural glow.
Whether in liquid or powder form, Clarins foundations provide flawless coverage with a natural finish that maintains skin hydration while allowing it to breathe. Our exclusive Anti-pollution Complex helps shield skin from environmental aggressors, giving you that bare-faced feel with protected, healthy-looking skin.

How do I find my perfect foundation shade?
Finding your ideal foundation shade is essential for a natural-looking result. The best approach is to test the foundation on your jawline—not your wrist or hand—as this area provides the truest match to your face. Your perfect shade should disappear into your skin when blended.
Consider your undertone as well: warm undertones have golden, peachy, or yellow hues; cool undertones appear more pink or bluish; neutral undertones have a balanced mix. Clarins foundations come in a wide range of shades designed to match all skin tones beautifully.
If you're between shades, always choose the slightly lighter option, as foundation oxidizes slightly throughout the day, becoming a touch darker after application.

What application technique gives the most natural foundation finish?
For the most natural-looking finish, remember that subtlety is key. Begin with a small amount of foundation and build coverage only where needed. Apply with fingertips for a skin-like finish that appears effortless, a slightly dampened make-up sponge for refined medium coverage, or a foundation brush for those occasions when a more polished complexion is desired.
With liquid foundations, warming the product between your fingertips before application helps it melt seamlessly into the skin. If you're looking to minimize the appearance of fine lines and pores, apply your foundation in light, downward strokes. Set your foundation with a light dusting of translucent powder only in areas that tend to get shiny for a naturally radiant complexion that lasts all day.

How can I make my foundation last longer throughout the day?
For enduring foundation wear, proper preparation is essential. Always begin with well-moisturized skin—even oily skin requires appropriate hydration. Apply a primer suited to your skin type before foundation to create a smooth canvas that enhances longevity and helps your makeup maintain its elegant appearance throughout the day.
Our Skin Illusion Full Coverage foundation offers 24-hour wear with transfer-proof technology, perfect for long days. Set your foundation with a light touch of powder in the T-zone to control shine without diminishing your skin's natural radiance.
Throughout the day, blot excess oil with tissue before touching up—adding more product on top of oil can lead to caking. Remember that the right foundation for your skin type is the foundation that will naturally last longer on your unique complexion.
