Anyone else lately feeling like their skin is in a bit of an SOS case? Lately things (thanks to the full moon last week) have been going a bit haywire- as a result, the balance of looking refreshed, renewed and ready to tackle the world has become an ongoing battle, until now…

Today’s post has been sponsored by Clarins. As always all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Most of you know when it comes to wearing makeup, for me less is more. I mean let’s be honest- no one has time for a full face of makeup 24/7. Hot weather usually is code for – MAJOR need of a primer!  I know what you are probably thinking- a primer, really? Absolutely a primer! You see, primers are a GREAT way to actually help with your makeup. Recently one of my all time favorite skincare brands Clarins came out with a line of SOS Primers, and I have to admit I am hooked. Here is why….

Makeup primers are nothing new in the space. I mean they have been around for quite some time now and they can help tackle all the things ranging from keeping your makeup in place to giving the skin a luminous glow. However, the Clarins SOS Primers are seriously AMAZINGNESS in a tube. Not only do they help tackle and target specific issues of the skin, they also give the skin some major oomph in hydration for up to 24 hours. Amazing, right?  I love that the Clarins SOS Primers not only hydrate the skin but they also help balance uneven skin tone and texture, as well as protect the skin from environmental aggressors thanks to the Clarins anti-pollution complex. The best part? They are also super light weight and oil-free so they won’t add any extra weight to the skin. I mean honestly, Clarins created the perfect primers that can be used for every single skin care concern you might have.

// WHAT ARE THE 6 NEW CLARINS SOS PRIMERS? //

The new Clarins SOS Primers come in 6 different primers to choose from, so you can use one on its own or mix and match all six to address multiple concerns.  They can be used alone as a makeup base over your primer used alone, or mixed with your foundation. They can also be used as a target corrector applied to the skin and topped with a bit of foundation for a easy, flawless look. Or you can use all the primers together to mix and match the concern areas.  For example, if you have dark spots on your cheeks, you can use 03 Coral there, and if you have a lot of redness on your nose, use 04 Green there, is your skin feeling overall dull add a bit of 05 Lavender- seriously your guys the possibilities are endless and SUPER easy to become obsessed with!
