French beauty brand Clarins is best known for its spa-inspired skincare products. But the brand has quietly built a loyal following for its makeup collections that offer interesting twists on neutral colour palettes like warm browns, heather greys and soft beige. What makes the products stand out from the competition is the formulas incorporate skincare ingredients so they pamper and protect skin. Clarins does pair great skincare with luxe makeup.
For autumn 2017, the brand offers a fresh twist on a neutral eye palette: forest green. You’ll notice the green hues have a brown undertone so they are easy to wear. It’s a great way to update your look without going too edgy with the colour. I also like the graphic liner and navy matte shadow.
I’m excited to be giving away a Clarins’ Fall Look set on my blog. To enter, I’d ask you to rate this collection on a scale of 1 to 10. Here are the items in the lineup:
Not all black eyeliners are created equal. The star Graphik Ink Liner boasts ‘carbon black’ pure pigments that capture the light and promote deeper, more intense colour with maximum luminosity.
Clarins Graphik Ink Liner
The soft, tapered, felt tip follows the shape of the eye perfectly delivering a precise, even line. And the long-wear formula won’t rub off. What makes this formula stand out even further is that it was designed to be easy to remove without irritating eyes.
Clarins 4-colour eyeshadow palette in forest4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Forest
For those looking for makeup with skincare ingredients, Clarins offers the best of both worlds. The 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Forest contains Carnauba Wax powder that promotes comfort and long wear. You’ll find two green hues, a dark matte grey and a light pink satin-finish shadow.

Ombre Matte shadows combine the smooth texture of a cream with the wear and finish of a powder. Both shades are winners: midnight blue (a dark blue with subtle pearl iridescence) and ivory (a luminous eggshell white).

September 18, 2017 at 9:21 am9/10 from me ~ I love almost all of it but I’m a bit wary of the deep blue eye-shadow. I might need a tutorial for the best way to wear that one! Twitter: @paula_lavender

September 18, 2017 at 9:20 amI would give this an 8. The colors are vibrant. I have been told that older women should shy away from frosted or glitter makeup which is the only reason I didn’t give it a perfect 10! @kimcon101210
