If you love a foundation that makes your skin look like your skin, but effortlessly better, Guerlain’s latest launch might just be your new obsession. Enter Terracotta Le Teint Glow Foundation, the radiant counterpart to the original Terracotta Le Teint, which won over matte foundation lovers last year.
This time, Guerlain is leaning into luminosity, promising a fresh, healthy glow without compromising on the lightweight, second-skin feel that made the original so popular. But does it live up to the hype? And how does it compare to its matte predecessor? I put it to the test, here’s everything you need to know.
You Will Love Terracotta Le Teint Glow If...
If you love a fresh, glowing complexion with a natural finish, Terracotta Le Teint Glow is definitely for you! It gives you buildable coverage that feels lightweight, while keeping your skin hydrated, plumped, and radiant all day long. The long-lasting, transfer-proof formula ensures your glow stays put, without being too dewy or matte—just a lovely, healthy shine. Perfect for anyone who wants a foundation that feels as good as it looks, and offers the best of both skincare and makeup.
What Does It Do?
Terracotta Le Teint Glow provides a natural, radiant finish with buildable coverage that feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin. It enhances your complexion with a fresh, healthy glow, while keeping your skin hydrated and plumped throughout the day.
What does it look like on the skin?
It gives a fresh, luminous finish that’s not too dewy, just a natural, healthy glow. It smooths over the skin effortlessly, creating an even, radiant complexion that looks like your skin but better. The finish is soft and breathable, with a second-skin feel that isn’t heavy or cakey.
Before and After
Key Ingredients:
It contains 95% naturally derived ingredients, including hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which help maintain moisture and plump the skin. The formula also includes titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for a soft-focus effect, as well as light-reflecting pigments that enhance your natural glow, all while ensuring a smooth, breathable finish.
What does it smell and feel like?
The foundation has a light, floral scent that’s subtle that disappears once applied. It feels smooth, lightweight, and breathable on the skin.
How long before I need to reapply?
I’ve tested Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow, and I’d say it lasts really well throughout the day - about 3 to 4 hours in, I find I might want to touch up around the chin and nose, especially if I’ve been touching my face a lot. The glow finish stays fresh and radiant, but in those areas where my skin gets a bit oilier or where I tend to touch more, a quick touch-up helps keep things looking perfect. Overall, it holds up beautifully.
Does it have SPF?
The Terracotta Le Teint Glow Foundation doesn't contain SPF. To stay protected from UV rays, you'll need to pair it with sunscreen. I recommended

How many shades are there to choose from?
There are 31 shades in this foundation with cool, neutral and warm undertone options. The shades marry up with the original Le Teint but I'd say that the glow foundation leans a little darker.
