Clarins HydraQuench Tinted Moisturiser SPF6

I totally disagree with the previous review that the shades are too dark, I have just found out that in Australia No 5 Gold is not stocked. I bought mine in UK last August and when the beautician in Debenhams demonstrated this colour I would never have chosen anything as dark as I am fair skinned and normally chose a light colour. When it was blended in it just looks so natural and gives me a healthy glow without that heavy or artificial look - I am in my 60's so do not want a heavy foundation. My neighbour who is in her 70's and has a fair complexion too (she was a natural red head) cannot believe how natural it looks on her also. We are just a bit disappointed that we will have to send to UK or USA to get this colour and hope that soon it will be in stock here also.

I am a long-term Clarins customer that has been using the Hydra-tint moisturizer in the colour BISQUE for years. This product suits most complexions of medium coloured skin and blended so well to give a natural glowing look.

The release of this new line of tinted moisturizer was more like trying on face paint, than a subtle, natural layer of moisture. Even the lightest of the available colours was at least 3 shades darker than my skin and the clarins staff put it down to Europeans being much darker than us Aussies... Being eastern European by birth, I would have thought my natural olive complexion would fit this description perfectly, however I found that I could no longer stick to this clarins products because it was more like a really bad foundation rather than the look that I was once able to achieve... The closest I was able to find has been the elizabeth arden moisturizer in the lightest colour available, and even this is a little dark for a moisturizer...

In summary, extremely dissapointed with this product
