What is the difference between full coverage foundation, medium coverage foundation, and light coverage foundation?
The difference lies in the level of pigment and the finish.
- Light coverage foundation offers a sheer tint that evens out the skin tone slightly while letting your natural complexion show through. It’s perfect for a natural, "no-makeup" look. Our Skin Illusion Foundation SPF15 combines the fluidity of a serum with just the right amount of pigment to ensure an ultra-natural, even, barely-there finish.
- Medium coverage foundation is the most versatile. It covers redness and minor imperfections but still looks natural. This coverage can often be built up to a higher level. Everlasting Youth Fluid is our medium coverage foundation that can restore a glowing, radiant complexion while concealing age spots and imperfections.
- Full coverage foundation, like our Skin Illusion Full Coverage, contains the most pigment, designed to completely conceal blemishes, discolouration, and uneven skin texture, giving you the ultimate flawless finish.

How do I choose the right shade for my Clarins Foundation?
To choose the best shade for your foundation, you should test it directly on your jawline rather than your hand or wrist. The goal is to find a shade that blends seamlessly into your neck and chest. For the most accurate match, check the colour in natural daylight. Clarins offers a range of different shades to suit all skin tones.

What is the best foundation for mature skin?
Mature skin is better suited to a foundation that provides light coverage and hydration. For a foundation with anti-ageing benefits, try the Clarins Everlasting Youth Fluid. This medium coverage foundation is super-hydrating while still allowing the skin to breathe, so you can see and feel that youthful glow.
How should I prep my skin before applying Foundation?
Proper skin preparation is key to ensuring your foundation looks its best and lasts longer.
1. Make sure you cleanse and moisturise your face: Use your favourite gentle cleanser and then apply a hydrating serum and light day cream.
2. Primer: Apply a thin layer of primer to refine your skin, blur imperfections, and help your make-up adhere for all-day wear. SOS Primer, available in 5 colours, instantly brightens the complexion and adapts to the needs of your skin.
3. SPF: Don’t forget an SPF to protect your skin from the sun before you apply your foundation.
4. Then, go ahead and apply your foundation and your make-up routine.

How can I make my foundation last all day?
To boost the longevity of your foundation, we have 3 beauty tips:
1. Don’t forget to use primer as it creates a long-lasting base.
2. Set with powder: After applying your foundation and concealer, use a lightweight powder to set your make-up and absorb excess oil, especially in the T-zone.
3. Setting Spray: Finish your routine with a setting spray, like our Fix’ Make-Up, to ensure 24-hour make-up hold and keep your look fresh and radiant.
