EVERLASTING FOUNDATION

A few weeks ago I was looking for a new foundation to wear during the day that has great coverage, lasts all day and is light and fresh for spring....

After trying a whole range of different foundations I decided to go with the new Clarins Everlasting foundation in 104 (cream) and I'm so pleased I did! This foundation promises 15 hours of staying power with a non transfer formula and its does just that. I have combination skin so the non-oily, matte coverage is perfect for me and as its formulated with an SPF15 its great to wear everyday to help protect my skin from the elements. I really love the fresh scent and hydrating feeling of this foundation, with its light optimizing complex it gives a really great natural and flawless appearance.

If your looking for a creamy, blendable, moisturising and highly pigmented foundation that enhances your complexion, evens out your skin tone then Clarins everlasting foundation is perfect and I highly recommend it.

I was so pleased with this product that I decided to add it to my professional kit. Last weekend I did an amazing photo shoot with top photographer Ryan Cox (Ryan and Jo Photography - http://www.ryanandjophotography.co.uk/) and decided to put this foundation to the test on one of the models (Elise Bull) pictured right. I was really pleased with the flawless, fresh result and will be definitely using it again!
