   Ofcourse this is also my HG compact foundation. Good coverage and stay on for whole day. Didn t break me out and not my face more oily and I got the right color. The packaging is beautiful but heavy. If include all I have from Guerlain my god it s more than a kilo 🙁 Ha ha so heavy when traveling.

   Love this powder foundation. It melts in to the skin and doesn’t settle in fine lines during the day. I like that I can build the coverage and it gives an airbrushed look. It is expensive but the fine mill is like silk. The down side is the price and the compact is bulky. I’ve been using powder foundations for a number of years and tried numerous brands and this is by far the best.

   So every makeup junkie tends to have their drug, things you just can’t avoid testing, and mine is definitely foundations (…and concealers, blushes and mascara…), and I also have a tendency to be attracted to the higher-end brands, such as Guerlain, Dior and Chanel. So when I was on the lookout for a convenient powder foundation to use on busy days, this seemed to fit the bill. In addition, the SA was very enthusiastic about it, and I was instantly smitten. I quite instantly liked the feel, the colour (#2 Beige Exquis) seemed to blend in nicely, although Guerlain foundations are in general too orange on my skin, which this one didn’t. I also like that it doesn’t fly everywhere, and that it doesn’t leave a very powdery layer on my dryish skin.

   So what are the downsides? Well, first of all, this doesn’t last long at all, and it wears off in patches, which is not a charming feature. My skin is quite dry, so I don’t normally have trouble with the wear of products, but this turned my nose into a shiny mess (yes, it’s obviously possible to get a shiny nose even if you’re dry), plus it seems to disappear also on my chin and in the area around my nose. Definitely not the look I was after.

   Right now, I’m hesitant as to whether I could possibly repurchase or not.
   *Edit* After wearing it in winter, when I tend to use richer skincare products, this has sailed up as a definite repurchase, both because it stays true to its colour without oxidising, and also because it stays put all day without disappearing or morphing into powdery hell.
