Makeup Is Truly an Art but Is Guerlain’s L’essentiel Natural 16h Wear Foundation the Artist That Benefits the Base? Let’s Find Out!

Gorgeous gorgeous ladies, “May your eyeliner be even and foundation be perfectly blended.” Welcome to another month of decoding trending makeup products and monitoring if it’s worth the hype. This time around we have a French makeup brand, Guerlain. Being in the business since 1828, it surely is a trustworthy house when it comes to cosmetics and skincare. Otherwise, being a master in perfume, they have made quite a mark when it comes to makeup too. Lipsticks by Guerlain are often highlighted, but we brought to you their L’essentiel Natural 16h Wear Foundation that is on every person’s mind at the moment.

This foundation will display grandeur in your vanity. The brand has outdone itself with a different shaped bottle and a golden cap.

Now a foundation has to set a perfect base for other products applied after to display magic. This one by Guerlain is a long-wear liquid foundation with 97% naturally derived ingredients. The brand claims that this formula “hydrates and balances the skin to improve complexion over time.” Skin benefits kept aside, as observed this isn’t a full coverage foundation, and going layer after layer can make it look cakey. Also, it settles into your pores, making the complete look awful. The next thing that didn’t go unnoticed was how some just cannot work with this foundation at all as it starts to crease in less than 30 minutes of application.

Speaking of other factors such as packaging, L’essentiel Natural 16h Wear Foundation will display grandeur in your vanity. The brand has outdone itself with a different shaped bottle and a golden cap. Moving on, there is a range of shades available to choose from, which gives the brand brownie points.

If you are already a dry-skin person, make sure to do a proper skincare regime before you apply this particular foundation as it tends to leave people dry and flaky after a while. As for oily or combination skin, it can be a hit or a miss. To sum up, it definitely is a workable product and can be passed as an everyday workwear foundation with its medium coverage but not suitable for days when you want to glam up and walk the party like a diva.
