Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch review + swatch

The product for review today came from a Clarins Hudson's Bay bonus gift with purchase. The Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch is a primer that helps to provide a smooth canvas for makeup. It is formulated for all skin types so it is a perfect product for anyone to try.

This beauty-award winning primer is the perfect combination of make-up and skin care. With an ultra-light, ultra-smooth texture it glides on skin, leaving a imperceptible veil on its surface, filling in and smoothing away the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores. Your skin will be foundation ready to give your make-up a more even and flawless finish. Can be used alone or mixed with your foundation.

I use it after my moisturizer and let it sink in before applying foundation. The first thing I noticed about this is that it is SUPER smooth! It feels as smooth as silk and sometimes I swipe some just so I can feel it haha. It is a nudey pinkish colour but becomes translucent after application.

Similar to the texture of the cream, my skin also feels silky smooth after using this. It helps to smooth away pores but I don't have enough wrinkles to review about those benefits. It definitely helps with makeup application and also helps with making my makeup last longer. I have combo skin and I think it also does an okay job with controlling oil :)

The full size is 15 mL and sells for $35 so very pricey but worth it in my opinion!
