CLARINS Beauty Flash Balm is the ultimate pick-me-up for tired, stressed skin.

CLARINS Beauty Flash Balm helps eliminate signs of fatigue in a flash! Instantly moisturizes, brightens and tightens facial contours so skin looks rested and relaxed. Olive and Witch Hazel extracts help smooth the skin’s surface, diffusing the look of lines and wrinkles. Soothing Bisabolol helps restore skin’s youthful glow. Preps skin for perfect make-up application and hours of luminous wear. 

How to apply

Apply morning or evening, after thorough cleansing and toning, apply (without massaging) a very thin layer over the face, neck and eye area. Apply make-up immediately, if desired. Beauty Flash Balm can also be used as a facial mask 2 or 3 times a week.

Oldie but a goodie

I have used this product off and on for years and still love it. I usually use it when my skin needs a bit of extra tlc as I find it makes my skin look plump and glowing. I've never used it as a mask as I think the price is a bit high to use the product in that way. I usually buy this online when I can get it for a good price. The packaging is standard Clarins - white tube with red writing. The product is an pale orange colour but you can't see this once you have applied it. I love this product - time to buy some more I think!

Tips: A little goes a long way.

In a flash

A white squeezable tube red printing packaging is so so wouldn’t get excited about it or the box it comes in.

The cream it’s self is a pale apricot, the fragrance is fresh and creamy pleasant enough but nothing to write home about and it fades pretty quickly.

I use this nearly every day I pop it over my moisturiser as a primer for under my makeup or just as a light blur.

During the day if I need refreshed I pat a small amount on my face over my foundation and powder and I sort of get a wee makeup pick me up. A little glow on.

As a face mask I cleanse then put a reasonable amount on my face and neck (don’t forget your neck, it is seriously the first place to show your age) let it have a good soak for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse it all off with warm water and a face cloth then follow with moisturiser. In the morning if my skin looks a little tired or I’m a bit off colour this has been a life saver, just to brighten my skin.

Till I did this review I didn’t realise how much I use it, also a tube lasts I’m yet to buy a full size as I always get it with gift with purchase. I’d recommend this, its subtle but it’s good.

Tips: Try it as a skin pick me up in the morning

LONGER LASTING MAKEUP

I love BFB! Its the perfect way to set your makeup for the longer, lasting look. BFB will leave your skin looking radiant and fresh. Its Clarins version of primer - but better!

Tips: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturise - leave dry - BFB - leave dry, apply foundation.

Beauty Flash Balm

I really love using Clarins beauty flash balm I admittedly only use it when I feel my skin looks tired or I need a pick me up as I feel you notice the benefits more

Tips: I would recommend using the beauty flash balm on an evening as it does leave a slight residue afterwards and I feel my makeup sits better the morning after

Instant Results

After a consultation with the Clarins counter manager at Farmers, she recommended I try using this product as a primer to help lift my skin and boost the hydration, as the foundation I was using at the time had really dehydrated my skin. I'm so glad she indorsed this product to me! Prior to this, I had never used a primer before, and in all honesty I didn’t even know the purpose of a primer! I was just told to Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise. This has been a great addition to my morning beauty ritual. I love that it is all natural and smells fantastic. It went on nice and smooth, however was a tad sticky, so I worked out if I left it to set for a wee while before putting on my foundation I was sorted. The container lasted for about 6 months as you only need a very small amount for full coverage. It was a great base for makeup during the day however I never used this at night. After about 2 months my skin had fully recovered from the dehydration and subsequent breakouts and I owe it all to Clairns.

Tips: Allow enough time for the primer to set before putting on any liquid foundation.

Thanks, I have never used a primer before, so am going to try this, it sounds great! A bit pricey but if it lasts for ages, good quality for the money.

Such a useful product!

I was a little skeptical of this product first after reading how 'multi-purpose' it is. I tend to find that products made to do one job usually do that job great but for some reason products that are made to do a multitude of things generally don't seem to do ANY of them well.

This was NOT the case with this product, it exceeded expectations for me! It works really well as a primer and would be perfect for those who hate silicone primers as its not silicony at all. I have not used this as a moisterizer or mask as I have other products I like using for these purposes.

However, my favourite way to use this product is actually mixed in with one of my favourite foundations for a 'no-makeup' makeup look. It sheers out any full coverage foundation and gives such a natural look while still being able to cover redness and as a bonus it will make your makeup last longer!

I will repurchase this product.

A must have for all mum's that need a pick me up

I swear by this, have used it for years!! First found it when I lived in the UK and now its a must. Introduced my sister to it and friends. When you have had one of those nights with your baby/toddler, I find putting this on and then my make up, just peps me up for the day. Makes my skin feel magic and alive.

Magic in a tube!

I used to work as a Flight Attendant and the travel and air conditioning constantly left my skin dehydrated and tired looking. I was put onto this by a fellow Hostie and remember trying it for the first time when I had just come in from a 14 hour flight. I was blown away by how it made my skin look alive and healthy again...almost immediately. I didn't like it so much under my foundation as it tended to make my foundation clump. But I did like it on its own or under tinted moisturiser. All in all, I like to have some with me for those days I really need a pick up for my skin.

Hydrating and radiant

This primer is gorgeous. I have super dry skin so it helps hydrate my skin prior to my foundation application and it gives my finished look a nice glow. It's a bit pricey but that hasn't stopped me using it daily as when I don't use it my makeup wears off so much faster.

Multi use must have

Packaging: simple easy to use and handy travel size tube. Texture: looks thick, and creamy in texture but changes to a lighter lotion feel. Great as a primer gives a gentle tightening feel to the face for the pick me up feel after a night out. Also gave this a try as a mask -nourishing and tightening face felt amazing.

Tips: Do not rub this product! It will crumble. Quickly warm it in the hands and press on the skin and follow with make up straight after.
