The Best Skin-Enhancing Primer In The Game
The Best Skin-Enhancing Primer In The Game
WHAT: Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch
WHY: First, embrace your wrinkles. If we can all look at craggy ass Sean Connery and still feel a deep sexual desire for him, surely we can accept our crow’s feet. But if youth still looms as your great arbiter of beauty, there is a magic product that doesn’t involve needles or botulism:
Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch.
That’s a lot of semi meaningless adjectives, but by god this little paste, made of Acacia Micro-Pearls and Vitamin E, really works to “fill in” lines and pocks and pores and gaps on your skin, so that your makeup goes on more smoothly.
On a good skin day, you might find that once you use this, you’ll skip foundation altogether because that velvety, even tone you’re trying to create with makeup is already achieved.
And as if that wasn’t enough, it works beautifully whether you’re a parched dry flake, or a greasy oil slick. We’ve also been known to use it in lieu of a powder for a midday touch up.
WHERE: Find it at most department stores, and Sephora.
PRICE: $39
