The Most Important Thing About Terracotta Le Teint Is…

GUERLAIN Terracotta Le Teint Foundation Review

For this new release, Guerlain has combined the lightness and radiance of a powder with the perfection of a foundation. The result? A foundation that boasts a luminous matte finish, medium coverage, and a zero transfer, hydrating formula. It’s the ultimate your skin but a better base that feels like air on the skin.

What Does It Look Like On?

The finish is matte luminous, but it’s more luminous than matte. As for coverage, it’s a medium coverage foundation, but because the formula is so lightweight, you can build it to full coverage without cakiness.

All skin types can enjoy this foundation. That said, those with very oily skin may find it too luminous.
