What led to the introduction of the Parure Gold Skin Control into Guerlain’s Parure Gold complexion collection? What was the creative process behind it?

Guerlain has always turned to the rarest raw materials to reveal beauty. The most precious of metals — gold — was Guerlain Research’s source of inspiration for face products to adorn every face with an incomparable radiance. The colour gold is really light itself. It represents eternity and it can capture the light, absorb it and vibrate. To me, in beauty, that talks to my heart a lot and that’s why I want to add gold to everything we do with Guerlain.

The Parure Gold Skin Control perfects the complexion with a matte finish without appearing dry or cakey. What’s the secret behind that?

The complexion is impeccably matte with no mask or powder effect, perfectly blurred, with no cakiness. The complexion remains corrected all day, thanks to an extreme, infallible, and no-transfer hold.

What makes the Parure Gold Skin Control thrive in humid weather conditions?
