Clarins answers your beauty question

Q: Do I need a specific face powder to suit my skin type which is normal to dry? Are powders not all the same? Linda – Canada

A: Firstly, powders are available in different shades and should add a bit of warmth to your skin tone. Beware of choosing powders that make you look white or grey. Compact powders generally give a fuller coverage and a beautifully matte effect, thus is especially suited to a combination and oily skin type. It is also very convenient to carry in your handbag for touch-ups during the day. A loose or translucent powder gives a lighter coverage and will help set your foundation and should be applied with a powder brush.
