GUERLAIN L'Essentiel Natural Glow Foundation

What it is:
Naturalness & make-up performance come together for the first time at Guerlain.
A foundation made with 97% naturally-derived ingredients* with a natural glow finish that lasts for 16 hours**.
The complexion is perfect, luminous and fresh. The comfortable texture becomes one with the skin, making it ideal for buildable coverage (light to medium). With L'Essentiel, bare skin is more beautiful, day after day.


What else you need to know:

The formula lets the skin breathe; hydrates, balances and protects the skin from pollution. The complexion is more even; the appearance of imperfections is reduced. An unique and disruptive bottle by the designer Mathieu Lehanneur, inspired by the subtle art of balance.

Available in 30 shades to match every skin tone.

*Calculation based on the international ISO standard 16128 Parts 1 and 2. The remaining 3% contribute to optimising the formula's integrity over time and its sensorial texture.
**Instrumental test conducted by an independent laboratory on 20 women.

Directions

Suggested Usage:
-Activate: To awaken the complexion, pat the skin with the LíEssentiel brush (sold separately) before applying makeup. Start at the inner corner of the eye, go to the ear, and then move down toward the chin.
-Prepare: Use Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil (sold separately) as a primer. Apply two to three drops of the oil to the face and neck.
-Unify: Apply the foundation directly to the LíEssentiel brush (sold separately), depending on your desired level of coverage—one drop for light coverage, two to three drops for medium coverage. Dab the foundation onto the face at five points: forehead, nose, chin, and left and right cheeks. Blend the foundation from the center of the face, outward until the result is even.
-Enhance: Add a finishing touch with the Météorites Compact (sold separately) for a shine-control effect, followed by Terracotta Light (sold separately) for a sunkissed, healthy-looking glow.
