Before trying this foundation, I had never tried a Clarins foundation before, and boy was I impressed. The consistency of this foundation is very ‘liquidy’, but I find this makes it easier to buff it into the skin to create a flawless complexion. The foundation claims to create a matte look that will last from morning to evening. While I do find the staying power impressive, perhaps my skin is on the oiler side of the scale? I always chop & change my foundation depending on what look I want to go for, so the fact that I haven’t used any other foundation since getting this, shows how much I love it! If you have oily skin & you favour a matte yet fresh look, then I would highly recommend this foundation!
