As far as make-up goes, Clarins strength is in their lip products – they don’t do eyes nearly as well as they do lips. But, this palette genuinely does spring to life if you use it as a wet application. As a dry palette, it’s unremarkable really – I like the fact they’ve included a purple shade but otherwise, the shades are all conventional nude spectrum colours.
In terms of quality, the shimmering golden shade is very soft – do NOT dive in hard with your brush.. it needs gentle treatment not to kick up a storm of shimmer. Clarins is really having a charitable moment right now – this palette offers (unspecified) proceeds from the £35 price tag to Povos de Floresta which is a reforestation project aiming to plant 7,000 fruit trees to help Ashaninka Indians maintain their culture and economy.
