Age: 48

Clarins True Radiance Foundation

What They Say: "Gold pigments amplify the light for a spectacular beauty-enhancing effect. It evens, smoothes and illuminates the complexion regardless of lighting and climate, promoting incomparable radiance, flawless skin and make-up that stays true.

Age range: All age
Skin Type: All skin type
Formula: Rich liquid
Coverage: Average coverage"

Melissa Says: This foundation is oil-free, but I still wouldn't necessarily recommend it for those who struggle with lots of shine during the day, because it may seem amplified. Otherwise, it has very nice coverage, from somewhat sheer to medium, depending on how you apply it, and gives skin a smooth, poreless finish.

The radiance it creates for most skin tones will look slightly more alive and glowing, with a soft-focus appearance. It creates a bit of a sheen, very subtle yet probably not idea for troubled oily skin. I think the shades tend to pull a bit tawny, so you may want to go down a shade or even better, test a few in the store.

I didn't notice the color fade or slip off at all during the day; it stayed true and stayed put.

Retail Price: $37.00 (at at us.clarins.com or select department stores)

Protect Yourself and Loved Ones with a FREE Cancer Screening, Sponsored by Olay with Spokesperson Marcia Cross

Cincinnati, May 1, 2008- In recognition of Skin Cancer Awareness Month this May, Olay and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) have joined forces for the fourth year for "Skin Cancer Takes Friends," a nationwide free skin cancer screening program that encourages Americans to bring their friends to a participating dermasurgeon's office for a free skin cancer screening. Together with "Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross, Olay and the ASDS are working to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and detection in the fight against skin cancer.

More than one million Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year. This is an astounding number for one of the few cancers where the cause of the majority of cases is known: excessive sun exposure. While some people are more at risk than others, anyone, regardless of skin color or age, can develop skin cancer.

Someone dies of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, nearly every hour. Yet when detected and treated early, it is almost 100 percent curable. Women ages 20-29 are particularly vulnerable, with melanoma ranking as the second most common form of cancer in the age group. Often the symptoms of skin cancer are elusive to those who do not know what to look for. As the incidence of skin cancer continues to rise, Olay and the ASDS urge women to join the fight against this growing silent killer by sharing these shocking statistics with loved ones, conducting monthly self-screenings and scheduling a free screening with a dermatologist for themselves and a friend. Regular screenings combined with daily protection from the sun's harmful UV rays are essential to avoid falling victim to melanoma.
