What does a primer actually do for your skin?
Clarins offers different primer formulas to address specific concerns, from minimising the appearance of pores to adding radiance or reducing the look of redness. Explore our make-up primer collection to find the formula that suits your needs.
Why is my primer pilling or balling up on my skin?
- Use compatible formulas: If your primer and foundation do not layer smoothly, try a different combination.
- Allow time between layers: Give your moisturiser time to absorb before applying primer. The time needed will depend on the products you use.
- Apply less product: Start with a thin layer of each product and add more only if needed.
- Press, don't rub: Gently smooth or pat primer onto your skin instead of rubbing vigorously.
Do I still need to apply moisturiser before using a primer?
Allow your skincare to absorb before applying a thin layer of primer, then follow with foundation if desired. Explore the Clarins moisturiser collection to find a suitable option for your skin.
How do I pick the right primer shade for colour correction?
- Green: Helps neutralise the appearance of redness.
- Peach: Helps even out the appearance of imperfections and uneven skin tone.
- Radiance or luminosity primers: Help brighten the look of dull skin and add a healthy-looking glow.
- Mattifying primers: Help reduce the appearance of shine for a more matte-looking finish.
Explore the Clarins primers collection to compare the available formulas and choose one that suits your make-up goals.
Should I apply primer with my fingers or a make-up brush?
- Fingertips: Convenient for applying a small amount of primer and gently pressing it over the skin.
- Make-up brush: Useful for spreading product evenly or working carefully around areas where you want to soften the appearance of pores and uneven texture. Choose a brush suitable for the formula you are using.
Whichever method you choose, start with a small amount and blend gently for an even base before applying your foundation.
