What can you ask of a makeup base? The new trends are clear: luminosity, long-lasting, zero transfer, a flattering and natural result and a formula with a very high percentage of ingredients of natural origin. Terracotta Le Teint de Guerlain, the highly anticipated liquid version of the brand’s mythical bronzing powder, can check all the boxes (it has 95% ingredients of natural origin, for example, including pigments and oil of argan).
It combines the lightness of a powder with the perfection of a foundation, and thanks to its incredibly fine texture, it never weighs down the inks. It is a good option to go with a summer face to the BBC dating season, with weddings as the main protagonists. Recreate the luminous, healthy finish of an afternoon spent outdoors. And without glitter.
Diversity in make-up has no turning back and has multiplied its options so that it is increasingly easier to find the tone that is closest to one’s own skin (one of the most common mistakes made by Spanish women is to go for darker colours, a choice that puts years on top.) Terracotta Le Teint offers a wide range of 30 shades, 16 intensities and three undertones: neutral, cool and warm. The color of the veins of the forearm gives us clues to get it right, if they look blue, the skin tone is cold; if they shoot green, warm and if the thing is not clear, neutral. The skin also speaks: if with a white blouse or towel it tends to gold, it is warm; if it tends to pink it is cold.
Summer makeup is light, natural and attitude. Relaxed and easy, although just as effective as that of other seasons. He is the one who already thinks about vacations and approaches the sea, where it is valued more that he controls brightness and does not move from his place. The happy face suits everyone.
