Clarins Everlasting Foundation SPF 15


My makeup melt has been well documented on this blog. So you know when anything comes along that is called " Everlasting" I am all over it like leaves on trees.

The everlasing here is the new Clarin's Everlasting Foundation SPF 15.

This new foundation is a matte finish but not a heavy, masky like matte. It is full , good coverage but natural at the same time. The formula is very lightweight and relies on new silicones for lasting power and white clay for oil absorbtion.

Besides being matte, the foundation also has a " Light Optimizing Complex" for soft focus effects on skin and a plant based " Micro Patch" that delivers time released hydration.

I have been wearing mine for the past 3 days and it's been performing really well. I love matte finishes, so we're good there . But my skin looks good as well. No cakiness. I did find that using a primer underneath is a no. It blends far better without one. Wear time has been good. Not 15 hours ,but on me that would be impossible. It's been a solid 8 hours without needing a touch up. I'll take that. I am interested to see how it does in the hottest months. The white clay in there gives me hope that it will hold up in real heat.
