Clarins Beauty Flash Balm
No. 06 in Edit 042

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Treatments France Approx. $49

A category with exactly one product in it. It comes off after ten minutes as an instant smoother, or stays on under foundation as a primer, and it behaves differently depending on which you ask of it, which is odd enough that nobody has managed a convincing second version. Clarins does not publish a full ingredient list anywhere we can read it, so we are describing what it does rather than what is in it.

Our verdict on the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Forty nine dollars, and it does two jobs that no second product does. Take it off after ten minutes or leave it under foundation.
