On the other hand, the wrong foundation can make you look cakey and unnatural. From cream and powder foundations to long-wear waterproof foundation and more, there is a whole world of options on the market to choose from. Let Clarins help you narrow your search and match you with the perfect foundation with our online foundation finder.
Clarins' foundations
Clarins has a wide range of liquid, powder, and cream foundations suited for different skin needs. Our Skin Illusion Foundation is moisturizing, with a silky serum-like texture that’s easy to spread. Perfect for combination skin, it has a fresh and barely-there finish that gives your skin a natural radiance without being greasy. Everlasting Foundation is the best option for oily skin, with a matte and high-coverage formula that is still lightweight and enriched with moisturizing ingredients to help prevent skin dehydration.

The White Plus Pure Translucency Bright Plus Cushion is a light and natural-coverage cushion foundation that actively boosts skin oxygenation. Another cushion foundation option is the Everlasting Cushion Foundation, a moisture-rich, long-lasting foundation with an ultra-fine finish that effectively conceals imperfections while providing breathable comfort. White Plus Pure Translucency Brightening Powder Foundation SPF15/PA++ has a velvety-smooth, natural finish and is best for Asian skin. Catering for those who struggle to find their perfect foundation color with other products on the market, this luxurious powder foundation comes with a range of shades designed specifically for Asian skin, so you are bound to find a color match!
How to apply foundation
Creating a flawless base makeup look is equally about finding a suitable foundation and color match as it is about the proper application method. You should always use a primer or a base beforehand, which can help your foundation adhere to your skin better and apply smoother. With liquid foundation, use around a pea-sized amount and apply starting from around the lips, then moving on to the cheeks, the nose and eyes, and finally the forehead. Blend in an outwards motion away from your face for a natural, seamless finish.
