Clarins Instant Light Blush in Coral Tonic

The Clarins Spring Collection is full of lots of beautiful products
but none quite caught my attention nor made me quite as curious as the Instant Light Blushes!
These little vials of liquid blush come in three limited edition shades - a bronze, a pink and a coral.
I of course have the coral, my love still runs deep and true for the shade coral!

As with all Clarins product this is beautifully presented in a transparent square tube - a little like a lip gloss
topped with a pale gold lid that of course has been engraved with the trademark "C" of Clarins.
Simple, understated and classic is how I would best describe the casing.
Housed inside is a large foam doe foot applicator which you use to dot on the product
but more on that later!

Coral Tonic is a yellow based coral which in my opinion is a great mix of pink and peach.
It has a slight duo-chrome effect as in some lights the shade reflects more pink.
Coral Tonic is a neutral shade duo the yellow undertone so it will suit the majority of skin tones.
The Instant Light blushes are not matte but have slight traces of shimmer,
in Coral Tonic's case the shimmer is golden pink based.
As earlier mentioned this does have a foam doe foot applicator which in any other circumstance 
I would slate but as this is a liquid blush the applicator is helpful as it allows you to control 
how much liquid you use each application with ease.

These blushes are fairly sheer, think more a tint than a full on blush.
People may grumble about the pigmentation but I personally don't feel these where ever made 
to be full on flushes of colour but rather a subtle hint of a tint.
The texture of these is some what similar to Benetint and the other tints in such range
but unlike such product they don't dry down instantly giving you ample time to blend and apply.
Once dried down they do still remain slightly dewy and give a radiant glow all the while being transparent.
In all honesty these are best suited to fairer skin as deeper tones will struggle to get the desired effect
that being said you can layer on the product without it turning ashy or thick.
I found the Instant Light Blushes to work best on bare skin and last around the 8 hour mark.
If you like your blush natural and barely there then this is the product for you,
they would also work particularly well on holiday when less in more!

Product Summary 
Round Up - A light liquid blush that delivers a transparent subtle veil of colour.
Best For - Light skin tone as the shades are fairly light in tone.
Pigmentation - (5/10) I do feel it is important to remember that I do believe these are aimed to give a hint of a shade not a full on blush.
