Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Foundation & Les Voilettes Powder

It might be officially Fall season in a few weeks, but the weather is still very warm in my neck of the woods. I don't want a heavy makeup feel these days, especially as I head out to my Labor Day parties. To answer my desire for lighter coverage, Guerlain just launched two new products: Lingerie de Peau Invisible Skin-Fusion Foundation and Les Voilettes Mineral Loose Powder.

Billed as a second-skin transparent veil, the Lingerie de Peau foundation is very light - it's less heavy than their medium coverage Parure Gold foundation. It also has SPF 20 built in, which is always convenient. The super silky, lighter-than-air texture just glides on the skin. It gives your face a polished, radiant but extremely natural finish. There's no photoshopped look if you use this product. The 03 Beige Naturel shade is absolutely perfect on me - it literally disappeared into my cheek and neckline. I only needed several drops to cover the entire face, so this bottle will last a while.

To complement the new foundation, the Les Voilettes mineral loose powder is another amazing product. The silver watertight container opens up to an inner chamber where you have to twist the inner black ring (to the left side) to release a small amount of powder. To close it up, simply turn it to the right direction. This will ensure that you won't waste or spill the product. This is also double the amount (0.7 oz.) of my Lancome bronzer mineral powder, but you might still want to use this as a "special occasion" finishing powder.

San Francisco beauty alert: If you want to learn about the brand's Fall 2010 launches, Guerlain's top makeup artist Marcus Monson is coming to SF on September 10 for a special master class. Check out Hello Beauty's post for all the fun details! Also, those who mention "Hello Beauty" will receive a free Guerlain Le2 Mascara after the class. There's only a few spots left so sign up soon.

Both items are available at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman department stores.

For editorial consideration, a product sample was provided for this review.

It's really so darn silky soft. Amazing. Of course! I can't wait to see you there!! :D

Gotta love the name. A makeup called ''lingerie'' just HAS to be silky, delicate and weightless.

I know!! It's sublime, this powder and foundation. Very soft and light on the skin.

Nice products they have here. I hope the price is also equally nice. I am also into these kind of cosmetics that are light and soft on the skin because I am allergic to the cheaper products that are not of quality.
