Never underestimate the power of a good base! Today I want to show you a really great one – Instant Light Eye Perfecting by Clarins.
Why do I like it?
As the name suggests, it instantly evens out the eye lids. And I truly appreciated the effect when I was doing the makeup on a client who had really a lot of blue veins showing through. This products created a perfect canvas to begin the work with.
The formula smooths the skin, and makes the eye shadows stick to it better. Just make sure that you apply a thin layer and spread it out evenly. That makes the eye shadows last a lot longer without creasing and smudging. The other client with oily eyelids told me that her eye makeup lasted during all the party.
A well thought through packaging allows you to get just enough of product without wasting any.
Being a Clarins product, this is also a makeup product with skincare benefits.
Although I personally don’t use primer on a daily basis, whenever I want my eye makeup to last longer and look more vibrant – I always reach for this base.
The price is £22/ $25 and you can buy it from Escentual.com, Nordstorm, Sephora, Boots, Bergdorf Goodman, Selfridges, Harrods…
