We have two methods of how to apply your liquid foundation seamlessly, whether that’s if you prefer to use your fingers to apply the product or with a wide, flat brush.

Option 1: By using your fingers for a natural‑looking result

Option 2: By using a brush for higher coverage

A popular technique among professional make-up artists, applying foundation with a brush is more precise, as long as you use the right techniques.

We have a Clarins foundation for every skin tone.

Light coverage or a more intense hold. Matte or satiny finish. A velvety or second-skin, barely there feeling. Shades and undertones that perfectly match every colour of skin. The ultimate guide for a flawless complexion!

1. Start by using a Clarins exfoliating product twice a week to remove dead skin cells and reveal your skin’s natural radiance. Skin is soft, smooth and radiant, and ready to soak up your beauty products!

2. Next, apply a Clarins moisturising cream suited to your skin type. This is an essential step in your skincare routine as it ensures that your foundation is evenly distributed and perfectly blended onto the skin. For a natural finish.

3. Your skin is now ready for your favourite foundation. Apply it using your fingertips or a brush. Make sure not to be heavy-handed...

4. The final touch: a little bit of anti-dark circle eye cream to brighten your look and mask imperfections. Your skin is perfect with or without make-up!

Your complexion is even, smooth and radiant. Simply flawless!
