Makeup base "Eclat Minute" by Clarins

The problem of an imperfect face tone is solved by a classic make-up base: it makes the skin surface even, smooths out unevenness, hides wrinkles, fills pores and allows the tonal base to last longer. The classic base is based on silicone, a component that perfectly fills the grooves on the skin, has a transparent gel texture and evens out the surface of the epidermis, preparing it for the most important moment - applying the tone.

Clarins "Eclat Minute" makeup base has a gel and creamy texture that does not resemble pure rather heavy silicone.

Clarins makeup base is the first step to creating the perfect complexion and has a number of features that make this product one of the best:

• The Clarins base is a caring and decorative product in one bottle. It contains a complex of moisturizing ingredients and synthetic particles for the formation of an ideal coating;
• Its texture resembles a fluid - light, airy, with a slight flesh tone;
• It is suitable for any type and age of skin, at any time of the year and occasion (everyday, holiday makeup);
• The base creates a light transparent coating that is not felt on the skin even during prolonged wear;
• It extends the life of the foundation - enhances its durability and reduces vulnerability to spreading under the influence of external conditions (rain, snow, heat) or the natural work of the skin (increased sebum secretion);
• In summer, the Clarins make-up base can be used without foundation: it creates a base on which a powder coat lays perfectly;
• In winter or at any other time of the year, this product can be used with foundation of any density and texture;
• A feature of the product is that it contains light-reflecting particles that visually make the skin healthier, smoother, give it a natural glow and give volumetric shapes.

It is known that the Clarins cosmetic brand produces, in addition to the decorative line, a number of care products with an impressive rating. Even the brand's tinting products contain moisturizing natural ingredients, for example, the make-up base contains herbal extracts of white tea and catafray.

• White tea - a rather rare component of decorative cosmetics with antioxidant properties. The plant got its name due to the neutral shade of the leaves and buds. Grown from China, and its processing is so simple that it allows you to save all the most valuable elements and allow the plant to be called the "source of immortality." It should be noted that white tea extract acts as an antioxidant as part of the make-up base, the component fights free radicals and prevents the aging of skin cells.
• Katafray - a tree that grows on the lands of the island of Madagascar.The extract of this plant is known for its calming and toning effect, which is especially necessary for such a product as a makeup base. The component in the composition reduces the vulnerability of the skin to inflammation, relieves already formed redness and effectively moisturizes the dermis, prevents the formation of dryness and flaking.

The base for make-up with the effect of radiance is presented in three shades that differ in the saturation of the main pigment:

• Rose, 01 (pink);
• Champagne, 02 ("champagne);
• peach.03 (peach).

Tone 01 - universal, suitable for fair skin with any undertone. It gives the surface a pinkish tint and instantly refreshes, transforms and evens out the skin. Tone 02 is suitable for any skin tone with redness: the texture of the product neutralizes red pigment and evens out the tone of the epidermis. The last third tone is the choice of swarthy, tanned beauties, which enhances the natural radiance of the skin. Each of the presented shades has in its composition reflective particles that emphasize the volume of the face and do not allow it to be flat in the pictures or in everyday life.

The use of a tonal matting base for makeup comes down to applying it to a pre-moistened face surface. After the usual cream is absorbed, it is necessary to apply a little Clarins illuminating base with light smoothing movements and wait 3-5 minutes before it is well absorbed into the epidermis. Makeup artists use a similar radiant base as follows: they mix it with the usual foundation to reduce the density of the latter.This move allows you to get a new foundation with a lower density and more resistant to the external environment.

Clarins make-up base is a hit with most modern girls and women. They note the light texture of the product and its uniform distribution over the skin. Most young girls use foundation over cream and set it with powder, they exclude foundation from their daily ritual, since Clarins base perfectly evens and fills pores on its own.

Negative reviews say that the Clarins face base has too thick coverage, which literally clogs pores and makes it uncomfortable to wear.

Others note that this product is light and not noticeable on the skin. It is worth noting that the perception of the base on the skin depends on the type of epidermis, the sensitivity of the girl or woman, the preferences and even the habits of “wearing” one or another texture on your face. Before buying, be sure to test the composition on your own skin to select the right shade and form your own sensations.
