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.

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.
