Again, good day to all! I hope I haven't bored you with Clarins yet. Simply, since it turned out to be so stocked, I wanted to tell about this product too. Moreover, we all approach the issue of choice very carefully. foundation. And this is not quite an ordinary cream (for me), because. I tried a similar texture at least 10 years ago. Now I don’t even remember what kind of company it was, but something from the masses. And now I had a jar (I hate jars) of this foundation in my hands.

What the manufacturer writes about the product is perfectly described in the Beauticians Catalog
Now about my impressions. Shade of my cream 03 Reflet miel - Honey. Now it's cool and so intense matting, as in summer I don't need it, more care is needed. And this cream mousse contains care elements. This is a plus. Now the main thing for me is that the cream does not emphasize peeling, does not dry, does not roll, is not felt on the face, well, and masks at least something. With all this Clarins Lisse Minute copes well. It is applied easily, but I could not apply it with a brush or sponge, because. The texture of the cream is thick, and under the fingers it melts and spreads very easily.


This is the first foundation in the last 2-3 years that I apply exclusively with my fingers. The cream is invisible on the face. The finish is matte. I don't even want to powder after it. I was finally able to use cream blush, because. they fit perfectly on it. But the powder ones are no worse. The coverage is average, it won’t hide big problems, but there is a concealer for that. In general, I liked it.
And finally, a photo on the face. Foundation only, no powder or concealer:




Cons: jars that I don't like, difficult to apply with a brush or sponge. But these disadvantages are not critical. And the smell ... At first I thought that the cream was spoiled. The smell of some old grandmother's powder. But, after talking with a girl on the forum and sniffing the analogue of a friend, she calmed down. Everyone smells like this. Weird, but not disgusting.

Evening complexion

I do not use tonal means, but like most girls I face the problem of "there is redness - it is necessary to cover it up", "uneven complexion - it is necessary to hide it." So for daily use, I was looking for a pigmented moisturizer that would be light in texture for my skin. And here he is a handsome CC-cream "Absolute Perfection" from Lumene.

In terms of "price-quality" ratio, this is by far the best tool. I subscribe to every word that the manufacturer promises us:

This lightweight yet long-wearing tint delivers flawless coverage with an exceptionally high concentration of color pigments. For all skin types.

This line includes 5 shades: from dark to very light. I usually take just light (light). It adapts perfectly to the skin in both winter and summer. On the face it is not felt at all, it has such a light texture.

By the way, in addition to all its advantages, there is one more thing that it is impossible to remain silent about - this is the SPF20 factor. Not the highest, of course, but its presence cannot but rejoice!

Tube size 30 ml. I have enough of it for more than half a year of daily use. The cost is now somewhere around 800 r. in Rive Gauche, and if you get on discounts, then you can snatch for 500.

Previously, I used only it, but recently I also purchased a Lumene primer with reflective particles (I will write about it a little later). These two products together work at 100%: the cream lasts all day, does not roll, the skin is even, smooth, and even with that “shine from the inside”.

In general, the verdict will be: highly recommended! You definitely won’t regret it, but I repeat that this is not a foundation. It will even out your skin tone, but it will not be able to cover up a pimple the size of a Galaxy.

tan, sunburn very well evens out the complexion. Try Korean bibi creams, they are light (they don’t feel on the face at all), but the skin color is evened out with a bang and even imperfections are masked perfectly, and some also heal the skin. The only downside is that you need to buy hydrophilic oil for them, you just can’t wash them off with water.

I go to the solarium, but after leaving it, my face has 5 colors) everything is covered in spots), but these spots are leveled out in 10 minutes ... I bought Bibi Garnier cream about two years ago, it didn’t suit me, I immediately became covered with acne ...

Well garnier yes - it goes without saying. Look at ebay bibi creams holika holika. I do not advertise, I just recommend what I use myself. But be sure to buy hydrophilic oils for them, without them you won’t wash off and clog your pores.

Elena

I couldn't do without toner before. But then I noticed that the pores get clogged and subcutaneous acne began to pop up more often, although I don’t have a tendency to acne. Decided to give up toner. I started doing all sorts of face masks - clay, with honey, with oatmeal, all sorts of suitable for my skin type. And peeling bought with fruit acids. And now I haven’t been using a toner for two years now, my skin is normal, the color is even, only a blush appears on my cheeks, but it’s even cute), but if you have strong pigmentation, this probably needs to be treated. And the use of various facial products in combination with a tan can further exacerbate the problem of age spots.

Guest

in the summer it is not necessary to even out the face with creams, creams, masks are good for winter / autumn.
In summer - masks of strawberries, parsley and the inclusion of these fruits in food. Especially the strawberries!
The boiled red beet salad evens out the complexion well (!) Eat and after an hour go to the mirror, you will see that the face has freshened up, even the next day it will still be a good, healthy color.
And milk... Drink if everything is fine with peristalsis, it also gives a beautiful complexion, improves skin quality. All proteins have this.
Eliminate a lot of coffee, tea, sauces, chocolate, smoking, everything brown, black, all this "kills" the face.

from honey my skin becomes soft, but it does not affect the complexion, alas.

Cream that evens out the complexion and moisturizes the skin

"HIMALAYA HERBALS face cream with whitening effect." The product is placed in an opaque tube with a volume of 50 ml., The cap opens and closes without problems. Cream of medium consistency: not liquid, but not dense. The smell, like the previous remedy, is light and cosmetic, but it remains on the face for about an hour, and sometimes a little longer. The cream contains rose extract to brighten the skin, bitter orange extract to improve skin tone, walnut shell extract to nourish the skin, and aloe extract to hydrate and nourish. In addition, this cream also protects against UV rays, which is especially important with the advent of spring.

The cream is suitable for all skin types. His consumption is small, peas, as in the photo, enough for the whole face. I use the cream twice a day, have been using it for a month. I must say right away that I do not have age spots and acne marks on my face. I wanted to buy this cream in order to use it to make my skin color more uniform and also healthy. After a month of regular use, I noticed that my skin tone evened out. The cream also moisturizes the skin well. Now I can easily do without foundation, limiting myself to light powder. I will continue to use it during the spring as it protects the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. For the summer, I will buy a product that is lighter in consistency, because this cream in the hot season can be too heavy for the skin. I also want to note the cost of funds - about 130 rubles. at the Girlfriend store. Overall rating: "5-" (minus for the smell, which remains on the skin for quite a long time).

I bought it after reading the reviews on the site and did not regret it. The cream turned out to be effective, in a week it whitened all freckles to my mother, and also evened out the tone of the face. I went to the sea, and when I arrived, I didn’t even believe it, she was always in the garden and her face was tanned with spots, so this cream worked a miracle. She smeared it without sparing, sometimes she used it like a mask. The result amazed me and I tried it on myself, the cream is very gentle and smells like a forest, it is done on the skin like water, it does not clog pores, it is completely absorbed after 3-5 minutes. The composition is also magical, everything is natural).here is the composition

Also, the cream is suitable for whitening dark circles under the eyes.

The cream melts into the skin and moisturizes and soothes. It can also be used under the eyes as it lightens dark circles under the eyes. What is the secret ... Lemon juice in the cream brightens dark spots, post-acne and pigmented (but not very old).
