Clarins Everlasting Foundation

Honestly, I love Clarins optimism with their new foundation, Clarins Everlasting Foundation, that promises hold for 18 hours. Who’s up for 18 hours? I did manage to put it to the test for a good 12 hours though and it totally lasted.

So, I’ll give you the blurb – a microfilm of new generation silicones bond with your skin’s hydrolyphic film; the addition of Hectorite controls shine (it’s a clay mineral). Bamboo powder does the mattifying. And, it’s got the new darling of the beauty world, quinoa. I hate quinoa – I had to write a beauty book in ten days flat way back and it was the chapter on quinoa (pronounced KeenWa) that nearly broke me – ever since then I’ve had an aversion.

Nonetheless, Clarins Everlasting Foundation is a joy of a foundation. If you have oily skin, I think you’re going to find it a very comfortable wear. I don’t have oily skin particularly but was still so impressed with the velvet finish, proper coverage and soft feeling it gave my skin. There’s nothing I don’t like about this, and I don’t even like matte foundations! If you like a dead matte coverage, this isn’t it – it’s one of the more dewy mattes, if that makes any sense, leaving skin still looking hydrated and supple.

Clarins Everlasting Foundation is a re-invention of the original version – I never used that so I can’t compare the two, but I’m not sure it matters. I know a damn good foundation when I find one!

It launches in February 2015 for£27.50. Oh, and shades go quite deep, but they still need to lose the names – Cappuccino is the darkest. *le sigh*

  1. This sounds like a great foundation, I have oily skin so I’m really tempted to give this a try when it is released! Looks like there might be some interesting science behind it for me to get my hands on too!

  4. I have yet to try a Clarins foundation. But this sounds lovely. I like a glowy-demi-matte finish despite having dry skin. Having really dewy finished somehow feels really unnatural. I add my glow with highlighter where I can handle it!

    So this is a reformulation I assume? I thought it already existed, but if it doesn’t, the version I have didn’t last at all well so i’m rather excited for this, as I love Clarins foundations!

      Yes it is a re-working..I didn’t use the first one but this lasted very well for me. Completely the whole day. x

  6. This sounds like a nice foundation. Would you say it’s good for people with dry skin?

      I think you would be okay with it with dry skin – not super-dry.. it’s quite a softening liquid and I really didn’t feel it was drying at all.
