180 Years of Guerlain

It's Fashion Week in Milan. Traffic is absolutely mad. I have a company cocktail event on Tuesday night. Lots of clients will be there so hopefully it will go well.

Guerlain's celebrating 180th anniversary with its Parure collection. It's a set of luminous foundations with UVA/UVB protection and crystal pearls.

I was just saying a while ago I don't wear foundation! But I can make an exception for these beautiful things.

The Parure liquid foundation comes in Aqua (SPF 20, PA+++)and Extreme version. The Aqua is a treatment foundation with added mineral properties and contains Italian spring water. Extreme (not here) is the waterproof, transfer-proof, long-lasting version.

So let's try on the Parure powder compact foundation in 02 Rose Délicat (SPF 20, PA++):
The colour matches my skin perfectly. It has a very nice luminosity without being shimmery (I hate shimmers). This is a nice change from the matte look that I usually do.

get all that hair out of my face...

this is a very pink look...

Here I used a brush and dusted Parure all over my t-zone and chin. The rest is pretty basic:

  • Make Up For Ever black kohl
  • Shiseido bronzer for contour
  • Diego Dalla Palma blush
  • MAC 2N lipstick, L'Oreal h.i.p. lipgloss in 636 Giddy (a bright fuschia)
