Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector 12ml - 08 Plum Shimmer

Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector 12ml in shade 08 Plum Shimmer is the brand's bestselling sheer lip gloss in a flattering deep plum-pink with subtle shimmer — a lightweight, balmy formula that delivers a wash of grown-up colour while caring for the lips like a treatment. The non-sticky texture melts on contact and is enriched with botanical butters and a plumping peptide complex, leaving lips visibly fuller, softer and glossy. Lightly scented with vanilla.

About Clarins

Founded in Paris in 1954 by Jacques Courtin-Clarins, Clarins built its reputation on plant-based skincare with a strong tactile, hands-on philosophy. The Lip Perfector range extends that approach to colour cosmetics: tinted balm-glosses that deliver lip care alongside a sheer, flattering wash of colour.

Key ingredients

• Wild mango butter — softens, moisturises and conditions the lips.
• Shea butter — rich in vitamin F, nourishes and protects the lip barrier.
• Plumping peptide complex — visibly plumps for a fuller-looking lip.
• Acacia micro-pearls — deliver the soft 3D-effect shimmer.
• Vegetable waxes — protect and soften without a heavy or sticky finish.

Free from parabens, phthalates and SLS/SLES sulfates.

Who it's for

Lip Perfector suits anyone who loves a no-fuss lip product — perfect for those who find lipstick too heavy and clear gloss too plain. Shade 08 Plum Shimmer is a deep plum-pink with subtle shimmer, suiting medium and deeper skin tones particularly well, and equally at home for evenings out, autumn manicures and grown-up everyday wear.

How to use

1. Twist the cap to remove the brush wand from the tube.
2. Apply directly to clean, dry lips, working from centre outwards.
3. Layer for more colour and shine; reapply through the day as needed.
4. Use over a regular lipstick for added shine and a fuller lip effect.
