description
Guerlain L'Essentiel Pore Minimizer Shine-Control Primer is a primer with 97% naturally-derived ingredients* that mattifies and perfects the complexion and makes the foundation last longer.
The fresh, light texture forms a protective barrier between skin and make-up to create an ideal canvas for a flawless, longer-lasting make-up look. Thanks to the formula enriched with avocado extract, pores are visibly smoothed, while the complexion remains matte and even all day long.
Immediately and over time, the appearance of pores is diminished and skin texture is refined. The Primer goes beyond controlling excess shine to balance skin, reinforce the skin barrier and protect against pollution, so that bare skin is more beautiful, day after day.
A unique and disruptive bottle by the designer Mathieu Lehanneur, inspired by the subtle art of balance.
The Pore Minimizer Shine-Control Primer bottle is designed to be easily recycled**.
*Calculation based on the international ISO standard 16128 Parts 1 and 2
