As I’ve only come to know Caudalie over the past year or so it was a surprise to me to learn that the Caudalie Beauty Elixir had been around for 20 years! It’s a beautiful makeup setting mist that’s plant-based and has so many beauty benefits besides. It promises to :
– Smooth away fine lines
– Tone and tighten pores
– Boost radiance
– Set makeup
Ingredients include rosemary to energise; grapes for radiance and moisture; and rose and myrrh to tone.
Of all the priming and setting sprays I’ve tried, it has the most uplifting scent and it truly is a mist and doesn’t leave you feeling like you’ve been sprayed with a garden hose like some do!
I’ve been using it mostly as a setting spray – after I’ve completed my make up look, but it also works great as a primer to give a really smooth look and feel. Used as a toner you can apply it ahead of your serum and moisturiser and you can reapply it through the day to wake up and refresh your skin. I’ve got the 30ml handbag size spray and this limited edition glass bottle with gold detail is something that’s gorgeous to look at too!
I’m told it calms redness post work out (for me read climbing a flight of stairs or being squashed into a tube carriage on the way to work!) and it’s recommended too for use when flying to fight against skin drying out.
And as always I’d love to hear your experiences of Caudalie products in the comments below.

I haven’t tried this yet but I’ve picked up a few setting/primer waters lately and I really like them! This sounds like another great buy, and the competition sounds so cool xx

Yes there are some lovely ones aren’t there. I think I like the fragrance of this one most. The comp sounds fun doesn’t it! Fingers crossed for a win!
