Option 1: using your fingers for a natural-looking result

Take a small amount of the product and warm it between your hands. With your fingertips, place some of the product in the centre of the face and then spread it outward in small circular motions. Make sure to blend well into the hairline, neck, nose, chin and eyebrows. Finish by lightly tapping the entire face.

Option 2: using a brush for higher coverage

A popular technique among professional makeup artists, applying foundation with a brush is more precise... as long as you use the right techniques. First and foremost, choose a wide, flat brush designed for foundation, which will distribute the product without it looking heavy. Place a small amount of foundation on the back of your hand, then dab a little onto the brush. Apply in small strokes and then spread over the entire face. Blend the remaining traces... and admire the result! Enhance your complexion with the intense Wonder Perfect Mascara 4D.

There is a Clarins foundation for every skin tone.

Having trouble choosing from the seemingly endless number of beiges, formulas and finishes? Clarins has created the perfect tool for you: The Clarins Foundation Finder.
