Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

[baby11]

I have read some good reviews about Beauty Flash Balm on Google but I am confused on how to apply it. I just have a few questions on it:

Can you apply it over the top of your usual moisturiser as an radiance booster? Or do you have to wear it alone?

Can you apply it over makeup to the eye area when feeling tired in the day?

Do I apply moisturiser, flash balm and a primer before makeup?

How else can it be applied?

Any tips welcome, thank you

apply either on its own or over your moisturiser, and you can also apply foundation over the top too!

Its a very versatile product.

I've been using Clarins Beauty Flash Balm since 1991!!! I absolutely love the stuff, although I wish it were cheaper.

I apply it after moisturiser, before foundation. I wear foundation or at least some tinted moisturiser on most days, so I don't know how the Beauty Flash Balm works with nothing on top of it, if you know what I mean.

You need to put your foundation on fairly quickly after applying the Flash Balm. You can also put on a thicker coating as a face mask. x

I wish it were cheaper as well :cry:

How come you've got to put foundation on quickly after?

Thanks

Forgot to add do you need a seperate primer with Flash Balm as I would like to use it around the eyes more than anything due to sleepless nights with a baby

Hi in case you don't know Clarins also do a Beauty Flash for the eye area, called Eye Revive Beauty Flash. Its fantastic. I always use Beauty Flash as my or client's primer under their make up.

I love Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, my makeup goes on so well when I use it and you can tell when I haven't used it as my face tends to look like woodchip wallpaper lol, its always on my present list

another tip is to only use a pea sized amount as to much of this product can start to peel when you put your makeup on if it does you'll know you have either used to much or rubbed at it to much. As said before a thicker layer used for a radiance boosting mask, do try try the clarins eye revive for tired eyes its brill. answer to your next posting the clarins neck cream is brillant i have on and off worked for clarins for 10 years use all there products and honestly i hace few clients who swear by the neck cream. Sometimes clains have promotions on and this helps as you usually get a nice goody bag and some travel sizes with it. hth

I have heard with flash balm to spread it across your face but dont massage in just let it to sink in, is that right?

Thanks

Yes, as rock chick said you only need a good pea size of product and smooth it over your skin, it doesn't need massaging in, you fill find it just absorbs virtually immediately anyway. I love this product, sometimes when my skin is really grey and tierd looking I even use it as a mask and go to bed with it on. Its Fab! Also if you have as you say "baby eyes" from all those sleepless nights you must try the eye balm. X

Thanks for all your replies, they both sound like absolutely fab products that no one can live without so I am off to order some

Thank you
