How do I choose the right foundation for me?
Clarins' range of foundations offers incredible colour options, and a range of different shades and textures. Whether you're looking for medium coverage, a satin finish, or more, you can expect to find the right foundation for you - and your skin tone. You'll also find our foundations come in a palette of undertones to help you achieve the right level of intensity. For a second-skin effect, your foundation needs to perfectly match your complexion and melt away into skin. Match your foundation shade number to the concealer to go with it.
Our Foundation Finder has been designed to make things easy for you, matching you with your perfect high, low, or medium coverage foundation to cover imperfections and enjoy a flawless finish. Shine-free, matte-finish, satiny glow, anti-ageing, ultra-nude, and luminous finishes: select your coverage and correction levels, and let the Foundation Finder work its magic. Whether you prefer a silky liquid, smooth compact, or plush compact formula, choose the texture that's right for you and your needs. For photo-ready application tips, follow our beauty experts' advice. Correction for every imperfection.
To see the best results from your foundation, apply a beige or pinky beige foundation to skin with pink or red undertones. If you have a sallow complexion or skin with yellow undertones, colour correct with a pinky beige or neutral foundation. And finally, reach for golden beige shades if your skin is olive or dark.
