Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

I've used this product for years, under foundation, over foundation towards to the end of the day if looking for a refresh and as well as by itself on those free and easy days. Just a great lift and glow to your skin

I absolutely love this, it smells devine and I find it the perfect consistency for my skin, it leaves skin so hydrated and I'm prone to dry patches, it seems to plump up the skin leaving it looking more youthful and with a lovely natural glow.

I love BFB! Its the perfect way to set your makeup for the longer, lasting look. BFB will leave your skin looking radiant and fresh. Its Clarins version of primer - but better!

I really love using Clarins beauty flash balm I admittedly only use it when I feel my skin looks tired or I need a pick me up as I feel you notice the benefits more

After a consultation with the Clarins counter manager at Farmers, she recommended I try using this product as a primer to help lift my skin and boost the hydration, as the foundation I was using at the time had really dehydrated my skin. I'm so glad she indorsed this product to me! Prior to this, I had never used a primer before, and in all honesty I didn’t even know the purpose of a primer! I was just told to Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise. This has been a great addition to my morning beauty ritual. I love that it is all natural and smells fantastic. It went on nice and smooth, however was a tad sticky, so I worked out if I left it to set for a wee while before putting on my foundation I was sorted. The container lasted for about 6 months as you only need a very small amount for full coverage. It was a great base for makeup during the day however I never used this at night. After about 2 months my skin had fully recovered from the dehydration and subsequent breakouts and I owe it all to Clairns.

I was a little skeptical of this product first after reading how 'multi-purpose' it is. I tend to find that products made to do one job usually do that job great but for some reason products that are made to do a multitude of things generally don't seem to do ANY of them well.

This was NOT the case with this product, it exceeded expectations for me! It works really well as a primer and would be perfect for those who hate silicone primers as its not silicony at all. I have not used this as a moisterizer or mask as I have other products I like using for these purposes.

However, my favourite way to use this product is actually mixed in with one of my favourite foundations for a 'no-makeup' makeup look. It sheers out any full coverage foundation and gives such a natural look while still being able to cover redness and as a bonus it will make your makeup last longer!

I will repurchase this product.

I swear by this, have used it for years!! First found it when I lived in the UK and now its a must. Introduced my sister to it and friends. When you have had one of those nights with your baby/toddler, I find putting this on and then my make up, just peps me up for the day. Makes my skin feel magic and alive.

I used to work as a Flight Attendant and the travel and air conditioning constantly left my skin dehydrated and tired looking. I was put onto this by a fellow Hostie and remember trying it for the first time when I had just come in from a 14 hour flight. I was blown away by how it made my skin look alive and healthy again...almost immediately. I didn't like it so much under my foundation as it tended to make my foundation clump. But I did like it on its own or under tinted moisturiser. All in all, I like to have some with me for those days I really need a pick up for my skin.

This primer is gorgeous. I have super dry skin so it helps hydrate my skin prior to my foundation application and it gives my finished look a nice glow. It's a bit pricey but that hasn't stopped me using it daily as when I don't use it my makeup wears off so much faster.

Packaging: simple easy to use and handy travel size tube. Texture: looks thick, and creamy in texture but changes to a lighter lotion feel. Great as a primer gives a gentle tightening feel to the face for the pick me up feel after a night out. Also gave this a try as a mask -nourishing and tightening face felt amazing.
