Rated 1 out of 5 by Aurora from New skin illusion very disappointing!!! I have been using skin illusion 112 amber very happily for many years and my last bottle was running out, after reading the reviews of the new design I got a small sample to try from my clarins counter, when i say small sample it was only enough for a days trial - I noticed the consistency was very thin and watery but decided to bite the bullet and purchased a full size foundation due to the mixed reviews with some liking it and some not - I am now on my 49th day of using this bottle and it has not lasted anywhere near as long as the old style, there is quite a bit of product left in the bottom of the bottle but I can’t get to it with the stupid pipette design and due to the design/style of the bottle neck I can’t angle the pippete to reach it!! The new foundation is very thin and watery and the colour is definitely not the same as the old style, it’s darker even though I was told I was the same colour in the new style as before and goes patchy during the day - I have managed to buy a few bottles of the old pump style foundation online as I will not be buying the new design again especially if I have to buy a new foundation every month and a half!!! PLEASE bring back the old consistency and pump style of skin illusion

Rated 5 out of 5 by Maty from Stop! The! Press! A potential holy grail! At last! So I very rarely leave reviews however I was compelled to for this product because it's AMAZING! I have been searching for my perfect foundation since the dawn of time and I finally think I have found it! My problem is I love a dewy finish but have combination skin so I usually get too shiny with dewy foundations! I had tried the previous formula of this and although the finish was great, I had the usual problem by the end of the night! I've since tended to go for longwear foundations but when this came out I thought I bite the bullet and give it a go! I'm SOOOOOO glad I did! This is such a lovely foundation! It glides on like a dream, smells divine and the finish is just gorgeous! Not glowy, just nicely dewy, hydrated and natural with sheer-medium buildable coverage...perfect! I actually quite like the pipette too! Although I agree a pump is more practical, this is smaller and lighter and looks more chic! Now for the shades...there is such a wide range with different tones! I have cool tones and completely disagree with all that 'yellow tones are flattering for everyone' rubbish! I like my foundation to match my skin and 109 matches mine perfectly! In fact I've never found such a perfect match before! I do still get a little shiny and it transfers occasionally but these are to be expected with a dewy foundation and both things happen far less compared to the previous version. The new one actually lasts surprisingly well! In short...I really am in love with this product! I honestly think I can call off the search as I've finally found a dewy foundation that works for me ! Don't listen to the negative reviews...this product is far superior to the previous one! Give it a try! :)

Rated 3 out of 5 by Witty from Disappointed Hello, I have always used the full range of Clarins products for years and always been very happy. So what has happened to your foundation? I loved true radiance but can no longer get it. I bought Skin Illusion but I find it watery and doesn't provide the same cover and glow. Please bring back true radiance.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ines from Bring back True Radiance This is miles away from your true radiance foundation, you can read the disappointment allover the internet. Please reconsider.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Profile from Skin Illusion SPF 15 I had been happily using Skin Illusion for years as it was a really good match for my skin and looked natural. I was surprised that the dispenser had changed which is a retrograde step. Its messy and fiddley to use, I find the new dispenser impractical and the new formula has definitely thinner and oilier the colour changes during the day. I have good skin, but this new formula is making my skin look shiny and with very visible pores. I will have to look elsewhere for a replacement as my skin cannot tolerate this version. Disappointing to say the least.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrsStott from So glad I didn’t read other reviews! I went to the Boots store at the Coliseum, Ellesmere Port yesterday with a friend who wanted to get a sample of Estée Lauder Double Wear. I got chatting to the Clarins assistant as I wanted to try something new. She gave me a makeover, using the Clarins peach cleanser, Clarins serum, SOS radiance primer and this foundation in Organza. She did such a great job they I bought them all but it wasn’t just her knowledge of suitable products for me. It was the way she spoke of working for Clarins, their ethos, the fact that senior staff covering the country knew the name of each assistant made me want to buy as there was genuine pride in her work, the brand/products and my satisfaction as a customer. I was impressed at the time and am happy to say I’m thrilled with the products having worn them all day today. After 15 hours wear my skin looks radiant and my foundation still looks like it did at the start of the day. Really impressed and glad I asked for her help and advice. This lady is a credit to you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by debbielax123 from Love the new formula Wasn't sure about buying the new formula after reading all of the reviews but I am glad I did. I actually find it sits on my skin brilliantly. I have good skin for my age (46!) and like a foundation that isn't too heavy. have always used the illusion foundation and I feel that it has improved. I really like the new pipette too.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Emijane from New formula not right for my skin I had been happily using Skin Illusion for years as it was a really good match for my sensitive skin. I was told the dispenser had changed after customer feedback on the old version, but I find the new dispenser impractical and the new formulanot only oilier to my mind but also the colour isn't the same. I will have to look elsewhere for a replacement as my skin cannot tolerate this version. Disappointing to say the least.
