More about Clarins Primers
Our experts have the answers to all your perfecting and priming questions
What is a primer and why is it important?
A primer goes on before your foundation to create a smooth, even base. It helps make-up last longer, stay fresh, and apply more easily. Think of it as the first step to flawless skin - your make-up will thank you.
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 perfect primer based on your skin type, priorities, and desired effect. Clarins' range of make-up 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 achieve flawless skin?
To achieve flawless skin, a face primer is your secret weapon. Redness, mottled, uneven skin? Don't panic! No matter what the morning throws your way, the SOS Primer has you covered, down to the smallest of imperfections. Its silky, refreshing, hydrating texture coats skin in a magical blurred effect while allowing it to breathe. Choose from various shades to get the coverage you want.
How do I plump and smooth skin?
Alongside your Clarins anti-ageing treatments tailored to your skin type and age, you can use make-up primers to help smooth and fill wrinkles and fine lines, dilated pores, and blemishes. We recommend the Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. This hits the sweet spot between skincare goodness and a primer, creating an even, flawless finish. This smoothing, mattifying base glides over skin, enveloping the face in a hydrating, colour-correcting layer. Incredible results, whether applied alone or mixed with a little foundation! A hybrid product for perfecting and caring for skin, all in one go.
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 face primer 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.
