Hello Everyone .. ♥♥♥
Up for another review? .. yes? then scroll down and keep reading :-)
This is a review on the instant light eye perfecting base by Clarins. When I purchased this product I wanted something that is light on skin & can be used everyday. I didn't know what to expect from this product in the beginning, but I decided to give it a try! Here are my thoughts & opinion on this eye base:
Price
13 Omani Rials for 2 mL.
Packaging
I like the packaging of this product; the gold, white & red colours go very nicely with each other, don't they? :3 .. As you can see in the pictures; this product comes in a plastic pen with a brush on one end, through which the product is dispensed.
You need to twist the base of the pen for the product to come out through the brush. This actually ensures that you can easily control how much of the product you want to use.
Smell & Texture
Smells nice & fresh.
The texture is very creamy & lightweight.
Shades
Two shades only: 00 which is a little bit pinkish in colour & 01 which is brownish-beige.
How to Apply
Apply a small amount to the area around your eyes. You can apply it using a foundation brush or simply using your fingertips.
It can be worn alone, with makeup or as a highlighter.
How Much Do You Need?
You only need a small amount, so it usually survives for so long, but if you use it everyday it gets used up fairly quickly.

Coverage & Finish
Because of it's lightweight texture, its coverage is usually light, but you can control how much coverage you want by applying more or less of this product. It will give the eye area smoothness, making it ready for makeup.
Results
Once you're done applying this to the area around your eye, you'll notice that your eyelid area is smoother than usual & your under-eye area is very well concealed. Your eye shadow, kohl & eyeliner colours will be enhanced. The lightweight texture of this base prevents it from giving a greasy finish. Your eyes will look healthier as a result.
In Clarins international website, it says that this base has anti-pollution complex, so when applying this, you will not only be prepping your eye area for makeup, but also protecting it from any aggressions.
