Anyone tried Clarins Everlasting or Skin Illusion foundation?

I am shade 010 in Lancome & just recently bought Teint Idole. It is too matt looking on my skin but it does last. I'm looking for something to give radiance but also be long lasting. Lancome Teint miracle was a nice colour but just slid of my face within a few hours. I'd like to try YSL touch éclat foundation but it's very expensive & I'm not sure if it will be long lasting enough on my skin.

Have Skin Illusion. I like it. Nice texture and smells great. Also have YSL. Also good, a bit more dewy. Current favourite is Make Up Forever HD Invisible Cover.

Thanks bringmetea. I'll give the Illusion a try then. The YSL is $85 here in Australia. I'll check out the shades & try & get a sample of YSL. I just don't want to make an expensive mistake.

Clarins Everlasting is very long lasting, on a par with Estée Lauder double wear. Great if you have oily skin. I wouldn't say it was matte, but can be quite heavy looking if not applied with care. I put it on with a beauty blender sponge and it is flawless.

I have the Everlasting and find that it can settle into my lines, even though I mix it with a primer. However it does give a nice colour and doesn't go yellow like some others.

Everlasting over primer is brilliant. Lasts all day. Skin illusion is more 'dewy' but I prefer a matt foundation as I have slightly oily skin.

Thanks QuinnFabray & cremedecacao. I like a dewy look so will go with Skin Illusion then.

Good choice- wore that for my wedding as it gives a slight glow :)

The only thing with Skin Illusion is that it is full of alcohol which can cause irritation.

You know you can get samples of all Clarins foundations?

I used their firming and lifting one in Ivory but found it a bit too dark and I'm very pale- would need 010 in Lancome or 050.
