How to use a make-up primer
Once you've removed your make-up and hydrated your face with a moisturiser, applying your base or primer is the first step to stunning make-up results and a gorgeous glow. Shop around and choose your primer based on your skin type, priorities, and desired effect. Clarins' range of primers and highlighters keep skin protected, comfortable, and cared for. They visibly blur imperfections, and soothe redness, while priming skin for make-up thanks to their setting effects. Skin is left smooth and even, with your natural beauty enhanced and highlighted for perfect skin that lasts all day and night. It's all in the details!

How do I shrink pores and blot away shine quickly?
Look no further than the SOS Primer - Mattifying to mattify and pamper skin. This mattifying solution blurs pores and reduces shine across the face for smooth, clear skin and a soft-focus matte finish. Its blur texture erases imperfections as if by magic! The secret is a filter-effect make-up finish, a plant-enriched formula and our microbiota complex, developed in our Laboratories to promote the balance of the skin flora on a daily basis, with each application.
