Base makeup "Eclat Minute" by Clarins

The problem of a non-ideal face tone is solved by a classical makeup base: it makes the skin surface even, smoothes out irregularities, hides wrinkles, fills the pores and allows the tonal basis to stay for a longer time. 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 point - the application of tone.

The Clarins "Eclat Minute" makeup base has a gel and at the same time creamy texture that does not resemble clean, rather heavy silicone.

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

• The base Clarins is a caring and decorative product in one bottle. Its composition contains a complex of moisturizing ingredients and synthetic particles to form an ideal coating;
• Its texture resembles a fluid - light, airy, with a light flesh-tinge;
• It is suitable for any type and age of skin, at any time of the year and occasion (casual, festive makeup);
• The base creates a light transparent coating that is not felt on the skin even for a long time;
• It prolongs the life of the foundation - enhances its durability and reduces its vulnerability to spreading under the influence of external conditions (rain, snow, heat) or the natural work of the skin (increased sebum secretion);
• During the summer period, the Clarins makeup base can be applied without foundation: it creates the foundation on which the powder coating is perfectly laid;
• In winter or at any other time of the year, this product can be used with the foundation of any density and texture;
• The peculiarity of the product is that its composition contains light-reflecting particles, which visually make the skin more healthy, smooth, give its natural radiance and give volumetric forms.

It is known that the cosmetic brand Clarins produces, in addition to a decorative ruler, a number of care products with an impressive rating. Even in tinting products, the brand contains moisturizing natural ingredients, for example, as part of a make-up base, there are plant extracts of white tea and cataphra.

• White tea - a fairly rare component of decorative cosmetics with antioxidant properties. The name of the plant was due to the neutral shade of the leaves and buds. It is grown from in 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." Note that as part of a base for make-up, white tea extract acts as an antioxidant, the component fights free radicals and prevents 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 soothing and toning effect, which is especially necessary for a product such as makeup base. The component in the composition reduces the skin's vulnerability to inflammation, relieves redness that has already formed and effectively moisturizes the dermis, prevents the formation of dryness, peeling.

Base under the effect of shine is presented in three shades, different saturation of the main pigment:

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

Tone 01 - universal, suitable for light skin with any subtone. It gives the surface a pinkish tint and instantly refreshes, transforms and evens the skin. Tone 02 is suitable for any skin tone with redness: the texture of the agent neutralizes the red pigment and evens out the shade of the epidermis. The last third tone - the choice of dark, tanned beauties, which enhances the natural radiance of the skin. Each of the presented shades incorporates light-reflecting particles that emphasize the volume of the face and do not allow it to be flat in the pictures or in ordinary life.

The use of tonal matting foundation for make-up comes down to its application to a pre-moistened surface of the face. After the usual cream is absorbed, it is necessary to put a little illuminating base of Clarins with light smoothing movements and wait 3-5 minutes before it is well absorbed into the epidermis. Makeup artists use a similar shining base like this: they mix it in with a familiar 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 makeup base relished most modern girls and women. They mark the light texture of the product and its uniform distribution over the skin. Most young girls use the foundation on top of the cream and fix it with powder, they exclude the tonal tool from the daily ritual, because the base from Clarins perfectly aligns and fills the pores on its own.

Negative reviews suggest that the base for the Clarins face is too dense to cover, which literally clogs the pores and gives unpleasant sensations while wearing.

Others point out that this product is light and not noticeable on the skin. It should be noted that the perception of the base on the skin depends on the type of epidermis, the sensitivity of the girl or woman, 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 for the selection of the correct shade and the formation of your own feelings.
