Clarins has updated its best-selling long hold foundation, Everlasting, and will be launching the new Everlasting + SPF15, which has a lot more staying power, in February.

The new Everlasting foundation promises perfect hold for 18 hours - perfect for long days at work or evenings out. Even though I never leave my makeup on for that long, it's reassuring to know that it will stay looking good throughout the day.

Now I have never tried the Clarins Everlasting Foundation so Everlasting + was completely new for me - and I absolutely love it. It has great medium coverage which can be built up and it is slightly dewy, leaving a luminous finish. I used shade 105 which blended really nicely into my skin and looked very natural. It evened out my skin tone and covered redness but I did find I needed a little concealer on my spots and under-eye circles. It's always hard to choose a foundation shade but luckily there are plenty to choose from. I think Nude might be slightly pale for me but I can warm it up with bronzer after.

It feels completely weightless on my skin and doesn't feel like I'm wearing foundation at all, which I love. I tested this out this week and wore it all day at the office. I applied it with my Real Techniques perfect face brush and didn't use any powder over the top as I wanted a luminous finish. It had perfect staying power although I did find by the end of the day there was a little shine on my forehead and cheeky as my skin is oily. However I tried it again the other day and used powder over the top to set my make-up and it didn't budge at all! Some long lasting foundations can be chalky but this is entirely different.

I will be using this on a daily basis now as it feels so weightless and doesn't clog up my pores.

Clarins New Everlasting Foundation + SPF costs £27.50 and launches on 15th February.
