If you’ve ever wished for a foundation that stays put through Singapore’s humidity and a full day of meetings, Clarins has just answered your prayers. The French skincare and beauty powerhouse has unveiled its latest innovation—Skin Illusion Full Coverage, a high-performance foundation that promises luminous-matte perfection, skin-loving ingredients, and wear that adapts to your emotions. Yes, really.
Designed to deliver a luminous-matte finish, adapt to facial expressions, and hydrate your skin for 24 hours, this is not your average foundation. It’s a hybrid marvel that straddles skincare and make-up, and it’s here to revolutionise your routine.
Built to Move With You
Clarins is no stranger to blending science with nature, and their Skin Fit Technology proves just that. This breakthrough innovation forms an ultra-flexible, three-dimensional film over your skin, allowing the foundation to stretch and move with your face. Smile lines, frowns, and raised brows? No creasing in sight. Thanks to organic oat sugars—known for their film-forming properties—this foundation stays flawless from dawn till dusk, no matter how expressive your day gets.
In a humid climate like Singapore’s, that kind of performance is gold. Skin Illusion Full Coverage is waterproof, sweatproof, transfer-proof and yes, even emotion-proof.
Bare-Skin Feel with Full Coverage

You’d be forgiven for thinking that full coverage means a heavy, cakey finish. But Clarins turns that idea on its head. This foundation offers impressive pigment payoff without smothering your skin. The texture is light, breathable, and mimics the look of natural skin—only better.
The result? A long-lasting, shine-free finish that controls oil for up to 12 hours while still letting your skin’s natural radiance peek through. Whether you apply it with your fingers, brush, or sponge, it blends seamlessly and stays put.
Shades That Truly Match

Clarins has launched Skin Illusion Full Coverage in 20 inclusive shades, and each one comes with defined undertones—cool, warm or neutral—making it easier than ever to find your perfect match.
-
Cool (C): pink, red, and blue undertones
-
Warm (W): yellow, gold, and peach undertones
-
Neutral (N): a balanced blend of both
It’s a refreshingly thoughtful approach to shade selection that reflects real skin diversity.
It’s 80% Skincare—Really

What sets this foundation apart is its skincare-first formulation. An impressive 80% of the formula is made up of skin-loving ingredients, so it doesn’t just sit on your skin—it actively works to improve it.
-
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps from within.
-
Micropatch vegetal forms a protective film that locks in moisture and smooths texture.
-
Zinc gluconate tackles shine and blemishes.
-
And the Clarins Anti-Pollution Complex—featuring organic white horehound, furcellaria and nipplewort—shields your skin from pollution and blue light.
In clinical tests, women saw a 29% reduction in imperfections and a 10% reduction in shine after 28 days of use. That’s the kind of foundation that does more than just cover—it cares.
Beauty with a Conscience
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for Clarins; it’s a priority. Skin Illusion Full Coverage comes in a recyclable bottle made from 40% recycled glass, and its cartons are sourced from sustainably managed forests. There are no printed leaflets—just clever, minimalist packaging that’s better for the planet.
Two of the key plant extracts in the formula—white horehound and nipplewort—are also organically farmed, aligning with Clarins’ ongoing commitment to responsible beauty.
More Than Just Make-Up
In true Clarins fashion, this launch is part of a bigger picture. The brand continues to build its community through Club Clarins, a loyalty programme that rewards shoppers with points for purchases and participation in select brand experiences. New members receive a welcome bonus of 10 points—just for signing up.
Where to Find It
Skin Illusion Full Coverage is now available in Singapore at Clarins boutiques, the official Clarins website, and selected department stores. Whether you’re heading to the office, running errands, or out for a night on the town, this foundation is built to keep up with your life—and your emotions.
