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).

For those looking for a flush of colour on the cheeks, there is a new limited edition Blush Prodige in Golden Pink. It enhances almost every skin tone.

September 18, 2017 at 11:26 amI would rate it 8/10. The packaging looks a little cheaper then I would expect from Clarins. A bit of pizzaz on the boxes would enhance the look. The blue eye shadow I would think better to be more of a grey or brown, something a bit more neutral. The lipsticks look beautiful

September 18, 2017 at 11:12 amThis collection rates at 10++. Those green shades are amazing and I love a deep dark blue for a smokey eye – I find it much more striking than using blacks and greys. @ashdmartell

September 18, 2017 at 11:11 amI’d give it a 9 . Here’s why because I’d prefer more taupes or browns. Now that being said there are times when an evening calls for a more dramatic look and this would perfect for that. My Twitter handle is @Cricut365

September 18, 2017 at 11:05 amI’d give it an 8. Personally I prefer taupey and dark brown shadows but the rest, I love it esp the blush and that black eyeliner! I’d probably give the blue shadows to my sister since she likes everything blue – @spearmint04

September 18, 2017 at 11:01 amI’d give it an 8 – nothing really making me crave it or wanting to dash out and buy immediately but I’d be happy if I was given any of them. I’d probably go for a lipstick if had to pick one although the shades are fairly similar to ones I have now, which is good in that I know they are likely to suit me but not bringing anything new to the party.
