Base and finishing products in the Clarins Instant line are grouped here. The range covers Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch in its 15g pot, Instant Concealer in shades including 02 and 02.5, the Instant Eye Make-Up Remover in 125ml, and the Instant Light lip perfector shades that carry the same name.

Perfecting Touch is a primer rather than a base, used in small amounts on specific areas rather than across the whole face. It has a silky, almost dry feel and is typically pressed over the areas where pores or fine lines are most visible, before or after foundation depending on the finish you want. Instant Concealer is the targeted coverage step, with a creamy texture aimed at under-eye shadow rather than blemishes. The eye make-up remover works as the opposite end of the routine, with a bi-phase formula that needs shaking before use to combine the two layers, which is what lets it lift waterproof mascara without heavy rubbing. The Instant Light lip perfectors share the line name but sit with the lip products rather than the base routine, so check which one you are ordering.

Clarins is stocked at Ronaghan's Pharmacy, a family-run Irish pharmacy, with the wider Clarins makeup and skincare ranges. Browse the Instant line below.
