Beauty Flash Balm

I like Clarins things and always try and get my skin care when they have give aways. As a consequence I have quite a lot of Beauty Flash Balm. When/how do you use it? I feel I’m missing out by not having it as part of my routine! Ta.

I like it as a mask if I am tired, ill, run down or whatever - I slap it on for ten minutes as soon as I get up, then jump in the shower. I know people wear it as an under makeup layer but it pills horribly on me.

Beauty Flash Balm is something I buy over and over.

I use it as a makeup base (only if I am going out and doing full makeup) or as a mask. I love it.

I love it - smells gorgeous and I use it as a primer to perk my skin up when I’m tired, works a treat! Make sure your moisturiser is well-absorbed before applying, don’t rub it in too much and apply makeup straight away.

I love it and buy it repeatedly too. I do use it under foundation most days. I understand you are not supposed to use it daily but I do and I have never had a problem. It has film forming properties, apparently, so you just spread a very thin layer on your face and let it sry, as opposed to rubbing it in well. Then apply foundation. Works perfectly with both my liquid Naked Skin UD foundation and my Bare minerals powder foundation.

*dry not sry.....

Thanks. I’ll give it a proper go then. Mask and also under makeup (over moisturiser and under make up). Got it!
