It's a thin, smooth liquid foundation. A beauty consultant suggested a makeup look that would highlight my natural skin tone, so I decided to buy it right away. It spreads well, but doesn't have much coverage. It hasn't clogged pores yet. It gives a natural finish.
The texture of the liquid is the same whether you apply it or not. It feels so good.
It's a liquid foundation that's not too runny, but is smooth. It comes in an unusual dropper bottle. The shape of the bottle makes it a little difficult to get the last bit, but it's surprisingly generous and reasonably priced. (Maybe it's because I sometimes use it in conjunction with other foundations.) It has just the right amount of shine and is quite light, so some people may find the lack of coverage bothersome. I personally prefer a lighter foundation as it can feel thick. I cover any areas I'm concerned about with concealer. It does crumble, but not in a messy way, so I touch it up with powder. Clarins is famous for its serums, but their foundations and other makeup products are actually excellent too!
This foundation is from the Cucurbitaceae family. It has a soft, watery texture and spreads easily. It's more yellow than other Clarins foundations. That said, it's only a comparison, so it's fine compared to other brands' foundations that have a strong yellow tint. The scent of other Clarins foundations is melon, while this one is cucumber. It's a perfect Cucurbitaceae foundation! I'm wearing cucumber on my face! It lasts well and doesn't come off at all. It stayed on until night, even in this scorching heat, and I don't notice any pores. It's amazing. It has staying power that rivals Tom Ford and Guerlain. I recommend it if you don't mind the scent.
I suffer from sensitive skin, dryness, and the resulting shine that comes with dryness. Even moisturizing liquid foundations don't adhere well, and by the evening, they've started to peel off in places. This foundation feels a little thick immediately after application, but once it dries, it blends perfectly into my skin, eliminating the thick feeling. It stays perfectly hydrated until the evening, so I was impressed. It doesn't produce oil from dry skin, so I really feel like it's packed with moisturizing ingredients. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized even after I remove it with cleanser, which is fantastic. It's hard to find a foundation that suits me better at the moment. The overall color seems a little darker than Western brands, so I wish it was a little lighter.
