02 Beige Clair

By Melissa 9 years ago.

Before I start my pros/cons with this product I want to say that my skin is oily and light with yellow undertones. PROS: - It did not make my face shiny with oil with prolonged wear! - Good coverage with a small drop of product - Didn't emphasize my pores and was somewhat easy to apply concealer on top - Lasted over 6-8 hours on me with setting spray - It's somewhat buildable CONS: - I'm using an acne treatment cream overnight that causes over-drying (not intensely...no flaking)... This foundation was impossible to blend even when I moisturised my cleansed acne cream-free face (and mixed it in with the foundation). I wouldn't really recommend for dry to very dry skin - It didn't leave a natural finish on me, even when my face skin was stable and I used droplets. My closest friends and family immediately commented on it. - The foundation DARKENS when it comes out of the bottle. At least for me (02). I would apply it on my hand then wait 5-10 minutes and voilà! A tone darker. I never had this problem with other high end brands. - Has the traditional Guerlain scent (but wears off an hour or so after application) - The price is too high compared to other foundations. - 01 Beige Pale has discontinued. Sorry if you're light or pale! Overall I'm immensely disappointed for this product. Not only is it 30% more pricey than most high-end foundations that (I think) perform better than LDP...It doesn't live up to the hype and claims for me. It is now my summer foundation...
