READ HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nTexture, coverage and longevity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n I like the texture. It is creamy, so I find that a little goes a long way. I have to be careful to use only about half a pump each time, and even then, I have excess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coverage is supposed to be light to medium, although I’d say that it errs on the side of medium coverage. If you use very very little, you can get a light coverage, but this is more of a foundation for those who want a little more coverage than a tint of colour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It hides redness, evens out complexion and makes skin look porcelain smooth. The coverage is such that it is rather transparent, so I do need help from concealer with areas of pigmentation, but otherwise, it is a very flattering foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The effect on skin is very natural, that much I’d agree. It also does make your skin look healthy, and gives off a glow, yet doesn’t look heavy or oily. I do not find it to be heavy, and is comfortable. However, do note that I have dry skin. I’m not certain how it’d perform on oily skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it doesn’t settle into lines or pores either. If anything, it does make your skin look very good. And I like that in a foundation. It gives me a good base to work from, for days when I want to put a good face forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike most glowy foundations, I don’t find this to make my skin look oily as the day wears on. If anything, I swear that it looks better as the day goes on, and it does last quite well. Most long-lasting foundations tend to be matte or mattifying. But this one holds its glow without turning into an oily, greasy mess after a few hours, and that is very flattering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s to give you an idea of what the Guerlain L’Essential foundation looks like on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThere are 30 shades available, which is impressive. There are the basic shades depths, and then they have warm, cool and neutral tones available for most, so you can find the exact shade match. I like that brands are doing this more these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wear shade 00N Porcelain <\/strong>in neutral undertone. It is the exact shade match for my skin, and in my experience, does not oxidize. <\/p>\n\n\n\nYou may see from the above, that it seems to almost smooth out my skin quite perceptibly. This is with a fairly thin layer. Redness is neutralized, and skin tone is evened out. The pigmentation on my cheeks aren’t covered fully, but I can live with it. If I can’t, there’s concealer \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do like how it looks, how it wears and how it feels. I do sometimes apply a very thin layer of powder on my nose and forehead, just to set, but not otherwise on the rest of my skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cutest packaging ever!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n If there’s one thing I have to say the Guerlain L’Essential Foundation has going for it, is its packaging. It is adorable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe bottle is so dinky, and sits in the palm of your hand like a cool piece of marble. The rounded edges are very tactile and easy to hold, and the slightly off-kilter dimensions make for an interesting bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It looks more like a bottle of perfume than it does a bottle of foundation, which I think makes this quite special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this dinky little bottle does hold 30ml of product, which is what’s found in most foundation bottles, even those larger than this. I’m not kidding. It’s dinky! Here’s me holding it so you have an idea – why not follow me on Instagram <\/a>while you’re at it? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
