FOTD: Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Radiance Foundation – Glam Radar

by Maria · August 23, 2014

A good day to all of you girls! here is my FOTD: Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Radiance Foundation…

For an incredibly natural complexion, the hydrating foundation with the refreshing feel of water which smoothes, evens and enhances the complexion, and delivers a spectacular ‘bare skin’ result.

This is going to be quite a convoluted explanation for something that doesn’t particularly need an explanation, but I came across the new Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Radiance Foundation when I, in my miserly way, saw Clarins Everlasting Foundation on sale onStrawberryNet and decided to get colour-matched at the counter before I went away and bought it online (I AM GERRY HARVEY’S WORST NIGHTMARE). I asked for a sample and the sales assistant didn’t have one, so she (in her blazer-y wisdom) gave me a sample of Clarins new foundation instead. In a shade that is clearly too dark for me.

… But yet somehow it works. I don’t know why. It’s like, when it’s on my face, I can recognize that it’s slightly darker than my skin, but it just… looks nice. I think the warmth in the colour makes me look less corpse-like. I think this foundation’s pretty rad, generally: it’s lightweight, medium coverage, and lasts fairly well (but not as long as I’d like it too) without being drying (I think this’d be a great foundation for someone with normal-dry skin).

Here’s my face (a little washed out by the camera, so it looks like my PERFECT MATCH):

P.S. I did end up buying Clarins Everlasting Foundation in the next shade lighter, 105 Nude. And now I can’t help but feel it’s just a tiny bit too light. Why is my life so difficult.
