The Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Foundation delivers a healthy glow with a light, second-skin feel. Offering ultra-buildable medium to high coverage, it blends the ease of a powder with the finish of a foundation. This shade-accurate formula is ideal for those seeking a natural luminous matte look that lasts up to 24 hours without transferring. The variant 6.5N NEUTRAL / NEUTRE is one of 30 shades designed to suit a broad spectrum of undertones and skin tones.
Key features include a 95% naturally-derived ingredient base and a self-adaptable shimmer called Gemtone, which helps the makeup harmonize with a range of complexions. The result is makeup that feels weightless yet corrects tone and texture, leaving skin looking radiant as if you’ve just returned from an outdoor escape. The lightweight texture is engineered to glide on evenly, buildable from medium to high coverage, and finish with a natural luminous matte that reads as healthy and natural in any light.
