Before & After Photos
I chose shade 2N which is the shade I have always used in Guerlain foundations. I think it may be a touch darker than previous formulas, but 2N in Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow certainly works really well for my skin tone.

My Review
First of all, I have to say, I love how easily this foundation applies. It is literally effortless and take absolutely no work to achieve a flawless finish. It is a complete joy to apply.
It is super light and hydrating on the skin, and actually feels like skincare as it is going on. You can see that it gives a nice plumping effect on the complexion, and it really makes my skin look lovely and fresh and healthy.
The formula is nice and buildable. It’s a medium and you can definitely build it to full, but it still looks natural even when you do. I love how smooth it makes my skin look and it’s super forgiving on any texture and lines. It’s just flawless.
It terms of finish – there’s radiance but it’s not overly shiny or dewy. It makes skin so plump and healthy looking but it is definitely not shiny. It is quite glowy when first applied, but it does dry down quite a bit, and the glow recedes a little, but it stays really flawless looking. I don’t powder it which I think helps it to keep more glow as the day goes on.
It definitely has a naturally radiant finish, but it’s not dewy per se and considering it is called Guerlain Terracotta Le Teint Glow, I was expecting more glow. Having said that, it is probably the kind of finish that a lot of people are looking for.
Throughout the day, it wears so well. I find that by the end of the day, my skin still looks pretty flawless and it doesn’t fade at all or go patchy. It really is an excellent performer.
Also, I absolutely LOVE the packaging. The glass bottle design is so chic, and it is certainly the most beautiful foundation bottle I have seen in a long time. I literally love everything about it. Plus it is recyclable and contains 25% recycled glass.
All in all, I am pretty obsessed with this, and will be reaching for this for days out and also evenings when I want a flawless finish. Bravo Guerlain!
