Guerlain Makeup Look
In the dead of winter, you want a makeup look with high-contrast. A metallic gold is a sure way to grab attention. Sure, it also works in the summer when your skin is slightly tan, and your hair is lighter but faking a sun-kissed glow in the colder months is an excellent way to feel ultra-glam in your everyday life. Try incorporating gold into your eye looks, on your cheeks or even a pop of shimmer on your lips. Not only can gold be dressed up or down, depending on your wants and needs, there’s a multitude of shades to choose from.
The first step to any makeup application is primer, but who says it only has to hydrate and create a smooth canvas for your foundation to adhere to? Guerlain L’Or Radiance Primer not only creates an even base for your makeup to glide on better, but it helps keep your skin nourished and baby soft all day. This magical primer is infused with 24-carat gold flakes, providing a touch of radiancy and luminosity to your skin. It’s the perfect first step in becoming a golden goddess and thanks to its slightly cooling gel formula, it retains moisture loss for healthy and glowing skin. It helps ensure your foundation doesn’t breakdown mid-day, melt off your face or become too oily. Its innovated texture immediately melts into the skin, smoothing out fine lines, diminishing the size of enlarged pores and creating an even finish for your foundation to hold onto. This exquisite primer prolongs the wear-time of your makeup, while keeping your skin nourished, soft and smooth all day. It retails for $82.
The second step in a golden goddess look is foundation. Look for one in a buildable formula, like the Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Fluide. This not only allows you to create a sheer wash of coverage on days when you’re looking for a natural appearance but allows you to build up the intensity on evenings when you’re going for that high-glam effect. It’s the easiest way to achieve a flawless complexion without looking too heavy. It instantly helps to conceal imperfections such as redness, dark circles, breakouts and uneven skin tone, while still looking skin-like. Unlike traditional full-coverage and long wearing formulas, this somehow manages to create a silky soft, radiant finish without looking too greasy or oily. Its silk fibers adhere to the skin beautifully, while blending into the skin for a seamless and comfortable finish. Its innovated formula is perfect for those with normal, dry, combo or oily skin in both warm, cool and neutral undertones. It retails for $70.
It wouldn’t be a golden goddess without a little bronzer, and the Guerlain Terracotta Electric Light is the perfect coppery bronzer powder for all complexions. Its ultra refine texture is formulated with coppery and pearlescent flecks that catch the light beautifully for a warm and radiant glow. It’s enriched with skin-loving, moisturizing active ingredients to not only help protect the skin from drying environmental aggressors, but it helps to ensure all-day comfort. Apply to the apples of the cheeks or around the perimeter of your face to instantly achieve that sun-kissed glow we so desperately want in the winter. Its silky, micro-fine powder feels completely weightless on the skin, yet provides a healthy and youthful glow with ease. It blends seamlessly into the skin, buffs in flawlessly with no harsh lines, and creates the ultimate bronze effect. Although it has an incredibly matte finish, it never looks flat or dull. It helps add definition, while transforming lacklustre skin into a luminous goddess. It retails for $64.
Guerlain’s iconic handcrafted pearls have been a cult favourite for years, and with good intentions. It instantly adds a boost of luminosity to the skin, without looking too powdery. This season the brand has added in a bronzy shade to help create a rosy glowy finish. Guerlain Météorites Meteorites Electric Pearls Powder not only instantly helps correct and illuminate the complexion, it helps to create a radiant bronzy sparkle. The pearls come in varying sizes with a touch of silver and gold micro shimmer throughout. The gold and copper pearls help to brighten the skin, while the champagne and white pearls reflect the light to help illuminate. This unique product can be used both individually to highlight and bronze, or as an all-over face powder to help counteract a dull complexion. These extra-soft powders immediately smooth the skin, while creating an incomparably soft feeling. It retails for $81.
Looking for one simple and easy to use product, a slight mixture between the Terracotta Electric Light and Météorites Meteorites Electric Pearls Powder, try Guerlain Terracotta Light Healthy Glow Vitamin-Radiance Powder.

The star of this makeup look would have to be the Guerlain Electric Look Palette. The wide range of 10 shades, in both matte and metallics, can be mixed and matched to create an array of stunning looks.

Dampen your brush to intensify the effect, but even when used dry, the colour payoff is mind-blowing. It stays put for upwards of 15+ hours without fading, creasing or smudging. It retails for $95.
No eye look would be complete without a bold liner. The Guerlain Precision Felt Eyeliner L’Art du Trait offers both precise, clear and define lines for the ultimate natural or graphic look.

The Rouge G de Guerlain in #93 was a limited-edition shade for the holidays, but its warm coppery, metallic finish can be worn all winter long.
