Matte cosmetics have a reputation for being uncomfortable and drying but this is changing thanks to a new wave of products that focus on hydrating benefits, like Clarins' Skin Illusion Velvet. This hydrating natural matte foundation is useful for controlling shine and blurring imperfections, all the while providing a "bare skin effect."
The skin-caring formulation contains arbutus to reduce the production of sebum, extract from the leaf of life and white horehound to reduce damage caused by environmental stressors. A variety of other botanical extracts are also included in the mattifying fluid formula, which is suitable for all skin types. Thanks to its many benefits, Clarins describes the Skin Illusion Velvet foundation as a "nourishing beauty cocktail for the skin" that imparts more beauty benefits with time and continued use.
