Our experts have the answer

Primers and highlighters are an essential part of any make-up routine, helping you to achieve flawless, glowing skin. You should apply primer before your foundation to blur imperfections and minimise pores. Highlighter can accentuate your cheekbones and elevate your make-up look.

Why should I use a Clarins primer or highlighter?

Clarins' range of primers and highlighters keep skin protected and cared for. They visibly blur imperfections, and soothe away redness, while priming skin for make-up thanks to their setting effects. Skin is left smooth and even, with your natural beauty enhanced and highlighted for perfect skin that lasts all day and night.

How to apply primer for flawless skin

Once you've hydrated your face with a moisturiser, applying your base or primer is the first step to stunning make-up results and a gorgeous glow. Shop around and choose your primer based on your skin type, priorities, and desired effect.

Clarins SOS Primer is silky, refreshing, and hydrating, creating a magical blurred effect while allowing your skin to breathe. Choose from eight different shades to get the primer you need and the coverage you want.

Our range of primers is designed to revive and brighten your complexion, with the aim of enhancing your natural beauty. Your skin will be glowing and radiant, protected from pollution and ready to face the day. As photo-ready as a pin-up icon!

How to plump and smooth your skin

Alongside your Clarins anti-ageing anti-wrinkle treatments tailored to your skin type and age, you can smooth and fill wrinkles and fine lines, dilated pores, and blemishes, with the Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch. This hits the sweet spot between skincare goodness and a primer, creating an even, flawless finish.

This smoothing, mattifying base glides over skin, enveloping the face in a hydrating, colour-correcting layer. Incredible results, whether applied alone or mixed with a little foundation! A hybrid product for perfecting and caring for skin, all in one go. You can find tips for applying this iconic product on our Online Beauty School.

How to reduce the appearance of your pores

To reduce the appearance of pores and blot away shine, My Clarins Pore-Less is the perfect product. It mattifies and pampers the skin, designed to be used for touch-ups on the go or after your day cream. Brimming with fruit and plant extracts, this mattifying solution blurs pores and reduces shine across the face for smooth, clear skin and a soft-focus matte finish. Its blur texture erases imperfections as if by magic! The organic strawberry tree berry takes action against sebum. A single sweep of this magical eraser, and skin is left looking pristine.

How to apply highlighter to your face and décolleté

Applying highlighter to your face and décolleté can accentuate your cheek and collar bones. Use a soft brush, such as the Clarins Blush Brush, to sweep the highlighter across the top of your cheek bones. Start with a small amount of product, and build up to your preference. The Glow 2 Go Blush & Highlighter comes in two shades - a pretty Glowy Pink, or a sunny Golden Peach. Dust lightly across your collar bones to finish off your glowy make-up look.

If you are a fan of liquid products, our shimmer drops are the perfect highlighter for you. The drops blend seamlessly into the skin, creating a natural, dewy glow. The non-sticky formula can be applied to your cheekbones, cupid's bow, and décolleté for instant luminosity.
