This instruction does not apply to Bronzing Duo powder. It is used only for dry application to obtain a barely perceptible and even tan.

Ever Matte

Magnificent matirujushchaja powder "Klarans", created on absolutely new technologies. The composition of only natural ingredients and plant extracts. Components remove excessive fat, block its appearance and take care of the skin.

The ultra-soft and soft texture of the Clarens mineral powder is the fine grinding of the product. Possessing this advantage, the product does not clog in the pores, does not cause an allergic reaction and irritation. Powder is ideal for owners of all skin types, except dry.

For reliable blocking of UV rays, the sunscreen factor SPF 15 is responsible. However, it is not very high. Therefore, the tool is recommended to use in autumn and spring, because at this time the sun is not very active, this degree of protection is completely reliable even for very light skin.

The color palette is represented by three shades:

1. 00 - opal;
2. 01- fair;
3. 02 - medium.

This variety helps each girl to choose the desired product in the right shade. In addition, experts recommend buying two types at once: a light variant for winter, darker for a hot summer.

The consumers paid special attention to the packaging. Any girl will be pleased to replenish her cosmetic bag with powder, hidden in an elegant box in a shade of gold in a red velvet bag. For convenience of use, the manufacturer has placed a mirror on the lid, and as a supplement there is a sponge.

For lovers of sunburn: Bronzing Duo

Product from the summer collection of the brand Enchanted Summer. Mineral two-tone powder with a sunscreen filter SPF 15. The dark sector shines with gold sparkles of the shimmer, if you rotate the package in your hands, the radiance will be more distinct. Light shade - matte.

As you can see, both compartments are convenient for independent use, because the width is ideal for brushing. What is most interesting, a light shade of flesh-colored does not have a bronzing effect.

The ruler is represented by three shades:

• Light;
• Medium;
• Dark.

Reviews about the powder "Clarence" with the effect of sunburn are positive. The buyers were satisfied with the "work" of the light shimmer. As many women admitted, they never met powder with such a matte effect. Also, consumers noted that for hot summer, this is a basic necessity.

Expectations from the dark shimmer were not justified. As it turned out, there is shine in the powder compartment, but there is no face. If you look more closely, you can see the radiance, but, unfortunately, this is not the effect that everyone wanted.

Teint Compact Haute Tenue

Enthusiastic reviews of Clarins powder with a creamy texture literally filled thematic forums. Unsurprisingly, because the producers kept their promise, the product provides 15 hours of impeccability!

At creation the innovative method High Fidelity System was used. "High stability system" consists in the formation of an invisible microfilm consisting of polymers and combined with 100% environmentally friendly clay - hectorine.

You can apply cream powder in two ways: dry to get a natural effect, and wet - for evening make-up.

The ruler is represented by the following shades:

• 103 IVORY 103 Ivory;
• 105 NUDE 105 Natural;
• 107 BEIGE 107 Beige;
• 109 WHEAT 109 Wheat;
• HONEY 110 Honey.

Multi Eclat

Despite the fact that the product in the brand's lineup is far from new, there are not many comments about loose powder Klarans. Therefore, the review will be based on available comments.

The manufacturer claims that the product can make the skin velvety, while retaining its natural look. Is it really?

If you reject all the loud statements, then the powder can not be called 100% mineral, because it contains talc.

The buyers expressed dissatisfaction about the inconvenience of packaging, but noted that the defect completely covers the weight of the powder - as much as 30 grams! This concludes all the cons.

The product is presented in the following shades:

• 01 transparent light;
• 02 transparent medium;
• 03 transparent warm.

The powder is transparent and designed to fix the tonal basis. Finish, according to customers, it turns out very gentle and with a light flicker.

Beauty without illusions

Brand Clarins along with other brands gave its key products not only a new vestment, but also improved the formula of production. This time the powdered powder "Clarens" - Skin Illusion was transformed.

As we remember, a large case-cube, in which the product was previously hidden, was difficult to call convenient. Especially when girls have to powder a nose a few times a day. For the sake of practicality, the company decided to change the packaging and make it more compact.

Previously, the brush had to be lowered into the lid. Now it takes up less space and fits in the groove in the center. Particularly interesting is the fact that now the brush has become magnetized. Hence, the problem with its loss from the case and loss in the depths of the female bag is solved!

The very powder "Clarence Skin Illusion" has become more elegant and elegant. If earlier the case was distinguished by the presence of sharp corners, now it has acquired rounded forms. Powder is not only convenient to hold in hand, but, judging by the reviews, it takes up little space.

Now we move on to a detailed study of the brush. It is in the case of a golden hue with moving walls, allowing it to "drive in" as if to get inside, and not to ruffle. A separate word should be said about a soft pile, ideally suitable for working with powder.

To protect the product from spillage, the package was supplemented with a transparent lid-stopper. However, who is uncomfortable, they can remove it.

The golden cover of a decent size is arranged as follows: a special plastic membrane is built in to regulate the delivery of powder. The product itself comes through small holes located at the edges. Thus, the process of creating makeup has become more simplistic, since the risk of overdoing and dirtying is minimal.

Skin Illusion powder description

Friable product is considered the most common in the line of the brand "Clarence", and women liked their universal use and resistant coating.

Grinding powder is very fine and resembles flour. As for the texture, it seems to melt, touching the skin, resulting in an invisible velvet veil. However, on tactile sensations, and in appearance it is similar to a voice-frequency cream. According to customers, the powder "Clarence Skin Illusion" - the most effective and pliable to use a copy.

Perhaps the secret is that it is mineralized, and not 100% mineral. In the presence of talc, just this ingredient many girls try to avoid. However, he is so good at acting that this "error" of the customer is ready to forgive.

The product formula is based on natural ingredients:

• Powder of pink opal was used to give incredible radiance and smoothing of the skin;
• For a tonic effect corresponds to an extract of pink alga, which has a stimulating and moisturizing property.

The mineral powder "Clarens" has a pleasant herbal aroma, but after contact with the skin, after a while it evaporates.

Let's talk about the main thing - the coating that the product creates on the skin. As it was said earlier, the powder can be used as a foundation, as it perfectly conceals all imperfections of the skin. The degree of camouflage can be varied by layering the powder. In this case, the sensation of the mask will not be. She does not fall into the pores and does not emphasize wrinkles.

Consumer opinion

Reviews of the powder "Clarence Skin Illyuzhn" receives exceptionally positive: satisfied customers in the face of the fair sex note that the product due to its natural composition, not clogging the pores, is ideal for oily and combination skin. In addition, the decorative agent excellently removes the shine on the face and masks imperfections. Also, women were satisfied with the powder in the ratio of "price-quality." The product does not belong to the category of budgetary funds, however, for a perfect "work" it is preferred by customers with different income levels.

Finally: the ideas of Courtenay-Clarence for the beauty industry

Among his works there are a lot of important for science experiments and discoveries. Kurten's fascination with aromatherapy led to the fact that he learned about herbal medicine and medicinal properties of plants and extracts.

Clarence is the first cosmetologist who started using natural oils for cosmetics. He also noticed and proved the rejuvenating effect and protective properties of alpine herbs and plants.

A new idea of Clarence was the creation of special cosmetics for weight loss and funds for fighting cellulite.

It was the research of the Clarins laboratory that facilitated the production of the world's first line of cosmetic products with protection from electromagnetic and ultraviolet radiation.
