Sophisticated

© Guerlain

A compact foundation that adds light to the face. Micro-balls of crystal are used instead of talc, which is used in many powder foundations; these transparent pearls allow light to filter onto the surface of the skin, revealing its texture but not its imperfections! Strong hold pigments coated in impalpable glass bubbles limit excess production of spot-causing sebum. Extract of crystaline rose softly caresses your face.

The compact mobile-phone style case is equipped with a wide-angle mirror.

High technology and cosmetic know-how combined for an ultra-glamorous foundation.

Guerlain Parure Compact foundation with crystal pearls, around £35 for refillable case and £24 for refill, 11 shades.
