Let’s be honest here – I wear pretty much the same make up
every single day, with the occasional change in eyeliner or lipstick colour.
I’m a bit scared of change, and I don’t really know what products are good for
my face.
Luckily for me, this week I’m teaming up with Clarins to show you just how easy it can be to
create 3 different looks in 5, 10 or 15 minutes!
The other day, a lovely package from Clarins turned up on my
doorstep. Firstly, I was overwhelmed by the amount of products in the bag, but
then I noticed the helpful step by step tutorials telling me how to use them
all!
Now, I’ll share them with you.
5 MINUTES – UPLIFTING
Products used:
• BB Skin Perfecting Cream SPF 25
• Multi-Blush
• Be Long Mascara
• Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector
This 4-step look is incredibly easy & low maintenance.
The BB Cream saves so much time, and is a product somewhere between moisturiser
and foundation. Simply warm the product slightly on your hand, then use your
fingers to smooth over the skin, from the centre outwards.
Follow by tapping & blending the blusher into the
cheeks, then add mascara – which makes your lashes look super long by the way!
It also contains a growth-boosting complex which is supposed to make them grow!
And finally finish with the lovely soft lip colour.
10 MINUTES – PERFECTING
Products used:
• Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base
• BB Skin Perfecting Cream SPF 25
• Instant Concealer • Ombre Minérale Eye Shadow
• Crayon Khol Eyeliner Pencil
• Be Long Mascara
A couple of pumps of the Base gives a healthy glow from beneath your BB Cream, and comes in 3 different shades – the one I had was a cool pale rosy colour. Unfortunately, the concealer I had was a couple of shades too dark for my skin, but the consistency felt brilliant, and wasn’t cakey at all.
I absolutely loved this eyeliner - the brush on the other end is so great for blending and getting that smoky eye look that I can never usually master!

15 MINUTES – FLAWLESS
Products used:
• Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch
• BB Skin Perfecting Cream SPF 25
• Instant Light Brush-On Perfector
• 3-Dot Liner
• Be Long Mascara
• Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector
There were a couple of products in this tutorial that
weren’t supplied, so I substituted them for what I had.
The Instant Smooth base was just lovely. It felt so velvety
smooth and made pores and imperfections much less visible. I’ve been using it
everyday since! The Instant Light Brush-On Perfector is perfect for under eyes
and along cheekbones.
The 3-Dot Liner is another great eyeliner (starting to think
Clarins might make the best eyeliners in the world..) designed to help fill in
the lash line. I went slightly overboard with it, as I love that thick, black
eyeliner look. Since taking these
photos I’ve been using it just to fill the lash line and slightly enhance my
eyes, and it gives a really lovely natural look.
It was so interesting to have the opportunity to use one
brand’s make up for my whole face, and be taught how to use the products
properly. I’d never tried any make up by Clarins, and I’ve definitely found
some products that I’ll be buying again - the eyeliners, mascara, instant
smooth & brush-on perfector.
Have you used any Clarins products? What did you
think?
