Meet the perfect makeup base … Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. It visually smooths lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores leaving the complexion flawless and radiant.
The Formulation.
A silky-textured, oil-free, pale pink paste which, upon application, forms an invisible veil over the skin. It is suitable for all skin types and can be used alone or under foundation.
The Packaging.
A small, red glass pot with a plastic screw-top lid. It comes complete with a spatula so you can decant the product hygienically. Beauty bonus! Zero waste. The wide neck means every last remnant can be scraped from the jar. (Note: Due to the consistency of this formulation, a pump dispenser or tube was not a practical packaging option.)
How It Works.
When applied to the face, Acacia Micro-Pearls expand in response to the natural moisture levels in the skin and plump out imperfections, resulting in a visibly smoothed complexion. Soft-focus pigments give the skin a subtle glow, and Vitamin E and plant extracts offer anti-aging protection.
How To Use It.
1). Cleanse, tone and moisturize the face.
2). Take a small amount of Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch on the spatula provided, and using a patting motion, blend it onto the skin with your fingertips. Target the trouble zones, that is, the areas of the face where there are wrinkles, fine lines and/or enlarged pores. Truly, less is more! A pea-sized amount of product will be enough to cover your entire face.
3). Let it settle into the skin for a minute or two, and then apply your foundation over the top.
My Application Secrets.
- Want smooth skin from forehead to chin? Mix Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch with a liquid foundation, and then apply it to your face.
- Goodbye, tired eye! Gently pat Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch around the eye prior to applying concealer. It fills in fine lines, disguises dark shadows, and makes blending concealer a breeze.
- Ace as an eyeshadow base! For crease-free eyeshadow, prepare your eyelids with Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch prior to applying your eye makeup.
- Lineless lip contour! To soften lines on and around the lips, dab on Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch before you apply your lipstick.
The Price.
It’s a beauty bargain! RRP $30 US for 15 ml. Yes, that’s the standard volume of an eye cream, but trust me … a little goes a very long way.
