Clarins Milky Boost Healthy Glow Milk Swatches
This adaptive fluid comes in five shade options:
- 01 Milky Cream
- 02 Milky Nude
- 03 Milky Cashew
- 04 Milky Auburn
- 05 Milky Sandalwood
Each one dispenses as a white fluid then transforms into a skin tone shade as it is lightly worked into the skin:
Before & After Photos
The first time I used this product I went for shade 01 Milky Cream which worked well. The next time I went for 02 Milky Nude which I actually preferred because it gives a very slightly warm glow on my skin tone that’s really flattering.
As the formula is skin tone adaptive, I can get away with either shade.
Clarins Milky Boost Review
It is really easy to apply. I just put a few little white blobs all over my face, and then use my fingers to activate the pigments and blend it into my complexion. It gives a really sheer, natural looking coverage that subtly evens out skintone, balances redness and gives a soft, dewy finish. If you want full coverage then this probably isn’t for you, but you could go in with foundation or concealer in a more targeted way, just where you need extra coverage.
It will be ideal for no makeup days where you just need a bit of help to feel human. It doesn’t have an SPF but I have been using it over Great 8 by Elizabeth Arden which is one of my top products for 2024.
One thing I should mention: it smells very peachy. The fragrance does fade away, but if you don’t like scented products, you may want to steer clear.

I think this is a gimmicky product, not like a foundation, maybe closer to a CC cream..on those days where I want to wear little makeup, I can go for a light foundation, rather than this weird product , it seems like totally unnecessary to invest in it, unless you are curious about it, or have good skin. Thanks for the review !
it’s actually just a lovely tinted moisturiser x
I like peachy scents and are always looking for skincare with it so I’ll check it out 🙂
