Looks like foundation but works like skincare. Clarins Skin Illusion Full Coverage has been developed to the same exacting standards as a skincare product: its formula is powered by a combination of active ingredients and plant extracts, which include the mattifying and purifying properties of Zinc Gluconate, to reduce the appearance of blemishes, as well as the combined action of hyaluronic acid and plant-based micro patch, which help to hydrate the skin for 24 hours*. This comfortable formula moves with your facial expressions for a long-lasting hold and 12H of luminous matte coverage. The result: smoother skin, a matte but luminous complexion and visibly reduced imperfections! Skin looks more beautiful, even bare, day after day.
