When it comes to foundations, I rarely change it up. In fact, I think I've only probably had a total of three foundations that have actually been used multiple times and it takes a lot for an outsider to even get a look in. But, the newly released Clarins Everlasting Foundation + has somehow worked its way into the ranks and is now even an everyday contender.There are so many things I think are important when testing out a new foundation, colour, formula and texture, price, spy - the list goes on... But to make this a more concise review I thought today I'd split it up and give you my thoughts on each of the individual sections that matter most to me.
Colour: My winter skin has got incredibly pale, so 103 Ivory is the shade that I'm currently using. It's pale, yes, but doesn't make me seem dead which I'm very grateful for, and it matches my skin tone and neck perfectly. One of the greatest pros of this foundation is definitely the shade range - from light to dark, they've got you covered unlike many of the drugstore brands I often favour for the price. And for those of you who can't find the perfect match, there's always the option of mixing.
Formula/Texture: This foundation has the typical Clarins smell to it - very fresh and reminds me of cucumbers or watermelons so for those wary of scent this may be one to stay away from - although it does quickly die down. The actual foundation feels lovely and silky on the skin, and it super blendable. I'd describe the coverage that it gives as medium but the finish is so natural (and ever so slightly glowy) you can hardly tell you have anything on at all. The foundation is oil-free, so perfect for those who are naturally a little oilier, but I personally think this would work really well on dry skins too!
Extra Details: This foundation comes in a lovely matte bottle with a pump (hooray!) and retails at £27.50 per bottle (boo!). It contains and SPF 15 which is great for both everyday wear and going out and lasts well on the skin, even looking better with time.
Definitely one to think about if you're willing to take the investment - what do you think of this?
