Beauty Box: Guerlain bottles skin-perfecting science
MANILA, Philippines - The product: Guerlain Tenue de Per- fection, a lasting perfection foundation that enhances the skin’s natural beauty
What makes it unique: The secret of the formula lies in three volatile oils that evaporate one after the other, creating a flawless complexion in three stages. The first evaporates easily under the fingers to ensure perfect application, the second coats the skin and evaporates just after the foundation is blended on the skin, and the third and final oil fixes the Timeproof Complex — absorbent powders and cor- rective pigments that ensure correction and all-day hold.
How to use it: Shake before use. Apply on the face with fingertips and spread from the center outwards and towards the neck until the desired coverage is achieved. For precise application and a light finish, apply with a brush in hori- zontal movements from the center of the face and outwards.
