Clarins foundations are formulated with skincare in mind. Our skincare experts are continuing to treat women to the breathtaking experience of make-up powered by skincare. Each and every Clarins foundation hydrates and pampers skin, with a view to providing all women with solutions to their unique beauty needs. Skincare plus make-up equals perfectly primed skin and the very best foundation for all your favourite looks!
Why should I opt for a Clarins foundation?
Whether you prefer powder, compact, or liquid formulas, all Clarins foundations are designed to be applied with your fingertips or a make-up brush, in an essential step in your beauty routine that leaves skin flawless and baby-soft. Clarins foundation hydrates, evens skin tone, and offers make-up a perfect long-wearing hold. Everything you need for a smooth, even complexion, radiant glow, and make-up that lasts all day long. Like skin, only better!
How can I ensure my skin is free to breathe?
The organic kiwi in our Milky Boost enhances natural cell energy production. Organic leaf of life is one of our Skin Illusion's active ingredients, and ensures skin is drenched in moisture. The chicory extract in Everlasting Youth bolsters collagen synthesis, while the bamboo powder mattifies, correcting shine triggered by stress, humidity, and heat. Skin is left matte throughout the day. The jania rubens extract offers organic exfoliating action and naturally enhances glow for skin blooming with health.
Whether in liquid foundation or powder foundation form, Clarins foundations provide flawless coverage and a perfectly even complexion with a sheer, natural finish. Skin is kept hydrated from morning to night, with an even, natural effect that leaves skin free to breathe. The Clarins Anti-pollution Complex helps shield skin from pollution, giving you that bare-faced feel for skin as good as new! Every complexion is unique, so be sure to choose the best foundation for your skin type to get the most out of Clarins' formulas.
How do I choose the right foundation for me?
Dry skin foundation:
Dry skin needs a foundation that hydrates and restores comfort throughout the day. Look for formulas enriched with skincare ingredients that replenish moisture while giving a radiant finish. Opt for a skin-quenching formula like the Skin Illusion Natural Hydrating Foundation, which provides lightweight coverage and leaves skin feeling supple and refreshed.
Oily skin foundation:
Oily skin benefits from foundations that help regulate excess sebum, minimise shine and keep the complexion fresh for hours. The Skin Illusion Full Coverage Foundation is a long-wearing, mattifying formula that's perfect for this skin type. It's designed to smooth and even the skin while resisting humidity, and its high-coverage finish means any blemishes are concealed without feeling cakey.
Combination skin foundation:
Combination skin requires a foundation that balances two needs at once: hydration for drier areas and shine-control for oilier zones. Adaptive textures such as Skin Illusion Velvet help unify your complexion with a soft matte finish that also leaves your skin moisturised and comfortable.
Mature skin foundation:
Mature skin pairs best with foundations that smooth, illuminate and bring extra comfort without settling into fine lines. Skincare-infused formulas like Double Serum Foundation restore radiance, support firmness and provide coverage that enhances vitality for a radiant, younger-looking complexion.
Clarins has a foundation for every skin type, each bringing effective coverage together with plant-powered skincare benefits — so your make-up not only perfects your look but also supports your skin.

What are the different types of foundation?
Coverage can be sheer, light, medium or high. At the sheerest end, skin perfectors even your complexion and provide a hint of colour – perfect for “no make-up” days. Light coverage formulas, such as tinted serums and BB creams, create a “second-skin” effect that lets your complexion shine through while evening your skin tone. They are ideal for those with normal to dry skin or days when you want a natural make-up look with a barely-there glow. Medium coverage foundations provide a polished result without masking your natural radiance, while high coverage foundations smooth away blemishes, leaving you with a long-lasting, flawless-skin effect.
Finish defines the look you achieve. A matte foundation helps keep shine under control, making it a go-to for combination or oily skin, while luminous or satin finishes are perfect for dry or sensitive skin as they're comfortable to wear and keep skin looking glowy.
Texture also plays a role in selecting the right foundation for you. Liquid foundations are the most versatile, blending seamlessly and allowing you to build coverage. Apply foundation with a brush or with a sponge for a lighter touch. A hybrid serum foundation is ideal if you’re looking for maximum skincare benefits alongside coverage. Clarins’ Double Serum Foundation delivers double make-up and skincare performance, leaving skin hydrated, radiant and even. Creamy formulas add another dimension, with a richer texture that suits dry or mature skin particularly well. Finally, powders offer a classic matte finish and remain the go-to for quick touch-ups throughout the day.
With Clarins, there’s a foundation to suit every skin type, coverage and finish. Each formula is infused with skincare benefits, giving you a beautiful complexion and skin that feels cared for.
