Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector 12ml in shade 08 Plum Shimmer is the brand's bestselling sheer lip gloss in a flattering deep plum-pink with subtle shimmer — a lightweight, balmy formula that delivers a wash of grown-up colour while caring for the lips like a treatment. The non-sticky texture melts on contact and is enriched with botanical butters and a plumping peptide complex, leaving lips visibly fuller, softer and glossy. Lightly scented with vanilla.
About Clarins
Founded in Paris in 1954 by Jacques Courtin-Clarins, Clarins built its reputation on plant-based skincare with a strong tactile, hands-on philosophy. The Lip Perfector range extends that approach to colour cosmetics: tinted balm-glosses that deliver lip care alongside a sheer, flattering wash of colour.
Key ingredients
- Wild mango butter — softens, moisturises and conditions the lips.
- Shea butter — rich in vitamin F, nourishes and protects the lip barrier.
- Plumping peptide complex — visibly plumps for a fuller-looking lip.
- Acacia micro-pearls — deliver the soft 3D-effect shimmer.
- Vegetable waxes — protect and soften without a heavy or sticky finish.
Free from parabens, phthalates and SLS/SLES sulfates.
Who it's for
Lip Perfector suits anyone who loves a no-fuss lip product — perfect for those who find lipstick too heavy and clear gloss too plain. Shade 08 Plum Shimmer is a deep plum-pink with subtle shimmer, suiting medium and deeper skin tones particularly well, and equally at home for evenings out, autumn manicures and grown-up everyday wear.
How to use
