Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Radiance Foundation SPF15 30ml - 112 Amber

Clarins Skin Illusion Natural Radiance Foundation SPF15 30ml in shade 112 Amber is the French house's signature radiant-finish foundation, designed to give skin a natural, healthy glow rather than a heavy made-up look. The deep tan-amber shade suits darker complexions with warm undertones, paired with hydrating actives, an SPF 15 filter and Clarins's anti-pollution complex.

About Clarins

Clarins is a French beauty house founded in Paris in 1954 by Jacques Courtin-Clarins, originally as a beauty institute focused on facial massage and plant-based skincare. The brand's make-up line, developed alongside its skincare, is built on a "skincare-meets-make-up" philosophy — formulas designed to wear well on real skin and contribute to its long-term condition. The Skin Illusion line is Clarins's hero radiant-finish foundation collection.

Key features

• Natural radiant finish: evens skin tone with a luminous, second-skin look — not matte, not high-gloss
• SPF 15 protection: a useful daily UV filter as part of a complete skincare routine
• Hydrating, skincare-led formula: includes squalane, glycerin and Mary's thistle (Silybum marianum) seed oil for comfort across long days
• Red Jania & Leaf of Life extracts: the brand's plant-based actives, included for radiance and skin-condition support
• Anti-pollution complex: helps protect the skin from environmental stressors

Who it's for

Shade 112 Amber is best suited to dark skin tones with warm undertones. The hydrating, radiant-finish formula is most flattering on normal-to-dry and dehydrated skin types — those with very oily skin may prefer Clarins's Everlasting line for more matte longevity. A useful daily foundation for natural-leaning make-up looks, mature skin and anyone who wants their foundation to feel like skincare.

How to use

1. Cleanse, moisturise and let your skincare absorb fully.
2. Shake the bottle, then dispense one to two pumps onto the back of the hand.
3. Apply with a damp beauty sponge, foundation brush or fingertips, working from the centre of the face outwards.
4. Build coverage in thin layers on areas of redness or uneven tone, rather than one heavy pass.
5. Set with a light powder if you prefer extra mattifying through the day; for a fully dewy look, skip the powder.
