Guerlain will release its next-generation luxury foundation, "L'ESSENTIEL," nationwide on February 1st.
"L'ESSENTIEL" 10 shades, 30ml, SPF20 PA+++ (¥7,000)*The image includes colors not available in Japan.
"L'ESSENTIEL" is a foundation that simultaneously fulfills the dual needs of modern women: a flawless finish while being gentle on the skin. Formulated with 97% naturally derived ingredients (*1), this foundation awakens skin's natural powers and regulates skin flora (the ecosystem of bacteria resident on the skin). The more you apply makeup, the more beautiful your bare skin becomes. With a light feel and coverage so powerful you'll forget you're wearing it, it leaves skin with a translucent, vibrant, and natural radiance that lasts for 16 hours (*2). This new foundation line is perfect for modern women who refuse to compromise on beauty. Beneficial marine and plant-derived ingredients, such as red seaweed, cod, and white cocoa bean extract, moisturize the skin and protect it from external stimuli and blue light without restricting its breathing. The synbiotic complex, which combines probiotics and prebiotics, enhances the effectiveness of both, regulating skin flora and strengthening the skin's barrier function. Furthermore, 100% naturally derived mineral pigments certified by Ecocert, a globally trusted organic certification organization, deliver rich color and coverage. The formula is gentle on the skin, non-oil, non-silicone, and non-alcoholic.
It glides smoothly over the skin, providing a natural finish. By layering, you can achieve high coverage that evenly visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles and pores. In clinical testing by dermatologists, 49% of women reported that "the more I use foundation, the more my skin texture improves and my pores become less noticeable," while 39% also reported that "redness and blemishes become less noticeable." By beautifully toning your bare skin, you can feel your skin looking brighter and more radiant even after removing your makeup, and you'll be satisfied with how your makeup wears. The shades available are cool colors such as "00C Porcelain Cool," "01C Very Light Cool," and "02C Light Cool," neutral colors such as "00N Porcelain," "01N Very Light," "02N Light," and "03N Natural," as well as warm colors such as "00W Porcelain Warm," "01W Very Light Warm," and "02W Light Warm," for a total of 10 colors that cover a wide range of exquisite skin tones.
"Les Enciel Brush" (6,200 yen)
The "Les Enciel Brush" is a brush that enhances your makeup finish. It glides smoothly over the skin, easily creating a natural finish or a full coverage look. The soft bristles, made from synthetic fibers containing bamboo charcoal, are gentle on the skin and keep the brush clean. It comes with a storage sleeve.
The "Les Enciel" packaging is an innovative design by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, who was named one of the "Top 100 Globally Influential Designers" by the British magazine Wallpaper and the American magazine Surface. Two distinct elements attract each other and overlap, creating a harmonious balance. The packaging expresses the harmony of seemingly opposing elements and dualities. The unique, beautifully rounded design reflects the L'Enciel concept.
"Base Makeup Coffret 2019"
In addition, for purchasers of L'Enciel or other Guerlain foundations, a limited-edition "Base Makeup Coffret 2019" set will be available for an additional ¥500. This set includes "Meteorites Birds" (5ml), a makeup base with diamond powder that creates radiant skin. In addition to Meteorites Birds, the set also includes popular Guerlain items such as Abeille Royale Watery Oil, which contains bee-derived ingredients that plump and firm skin, and a mini version of KissKiss No. 344, a coral-colored lipstick that gives lips a plump, moisturized appearance, all packaged in a spring-like pink original pouch.
