Clarins Double Serum Foundation - M3w

The Clarins Double Serum Foundation is a hybrid product that combines makeup with potent skincare ingredients from the Double Serum line. It offers customizable coverage and aims to improve skin's appearance over time, unlike traditional foundations that primarily focus on cosmetic coverage.

Clarins offers 37 shades. It's recommended to consult the shade chart on the Clarins website or test shades in person if possible. Consider your undertone (cool, warm, neutral) when selecting.

The foundation is enriched with 14 active ingredients, many of which are known for their skin-benefiting properties. However, if you have particularly sensitive skin, it's always advisable to perform a patch test first.

The dial allows you to control the amount of foundation dispensed. Lower numbers (e.g., 1-2) provide medium coverage, while higher numbers (e.g., 3-4) build to full coverage. Set the dial to '0' to stop dispensing.

The foundation provides a luminous, satin finish, giving the skin a healthy and radiant appearance without being overly dewy or matte.

The formulation is designed for long-lasting skincare benefits. Clinical tests show improvements in skin smoothness and reduction in signs of aging with continued use over time.

While the foundation contains Double Serum technology, applying your regular Double Serum and moisturizer beforehand can enhance overall skincare results and ensure optimal hydration and performance of the foundation.

Ensure skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Try applying with a damp beauty sponge or the recommended Gua Sha-Inspired foundation brush. Adjust the dose on the dial if too much product is being dispensed.

Reduce the dose dispensed from the dial to achieve a lighter coverage. Ensure you are applying a thin layer and blending thoroughly.

Consult the shade guide or try a shade tester if possible. Consider mixing two shades to create a perfect match. The extensive range of 37 shades aims to minimize this issue.

Ensure your Double Serum and moisturizer are applied thoroughly before foundation. The hyaluronic acid in the foundation should provide hydration, but consistent use of hydrating skincare is key.
