Very nice foundation, gives up to medium coverage, satin finish, shade 01 is very natural looking on my skin, good for dry skin, I do find that my skin still feels a little tight after a long day of wear if the days are very dry. Great foundation overall.

I'm shocked at how little love this foundation is getting on here. I was looking for a replacement for Chanel Teint Innocence (with maybe a tad more coverage). I tested all Chanel, Dior, Armani and Guerlain's foundations, and settled on Parure Aqua as the best fit for my skin. It leaves an amazing glow finish - my skin isn't the best at the moment, but with L'or base, a pump of illuminator mixed in and this foundation my skin looked radiant and my blemishes were pretty much unnoticeable! I'm also suffering with dry patches caused by stress, and this is the only foundation I've found which doesn't highlight them. I wear this in the evening only - I stick to a compact foundation for day, so this may be a bit too glowy for some in the day time, and it does need a few powder touchups throughout the evening if it's warm, but that's fine with me, and I never looked greasy, more just really really glowy! The foundation is light, but covers reasonably well, while still looking like skin. The fragrance doesn't bother me, but it may be too much for some people. All in all, this is a win for me, and worth the relatively high price tag.

I really wanted to like this foundation. For sure, the texture and the staying power are great. But, it stops there for me.

First, it's very difficult to find a color match. The lightest color wasn't close to light enough for me. I initially considered ordering online a lighter color available in Asia, but I backed out. Second, there is a strong fragrance in the foundation. This is bad news for sensitive or acne prone skin. Third, the price is way too high. This was a good learning curve for me since I now primarily consider foundations from cosmetic companies (instead of general luxury brands like Guerlain). This usually means that the price is more modest and the color selection more forgiving.

This product was too hydrating, glowy, creamy, greasy everything. for $72 canadian, this put a dent in my pocket and so was not worth it. Its supposed to have minerals for hydration as well. Maybe for someone with severely dry skin it'd be okay. I don't like this crap. Even if the greasy-ness was an attribute i was looking for in a foundation, there was nothing special about this foundation. I gave it 2 lippies because it doesn't look bad when it's on, but when you pay $72, you wanna see that $72 dollar difference, you know what i mean? Don't buy this stuff, theres lots of other better things (and probably cheaper) that you could use to easily dupe this product.

This would have been great if the color was a match. they have a very poor and limited color selection and i was very disappointed that a foundation that was $57 would have had a better color range. the sa tried to match me with 3 and it was way too light.. 4 was pink and too dark 5 was just plain dark. seriously--- i returned it as soon as i purchased it - went outside in the natural light and looked like a hooligan. it was way too pink and it looked terrible on me. Very disappointed.

Love this product! I have been using Parure Gold but now that it is not summer I had to switch to a lighter shade. I tried this stuff and love it even more. So far I am so, so impressed with Guerlain foundations I can't imagine using anything else. The finish is amazing, a little goes a long way and they are supposed to be good for the skin. I think they are as I noticed an improvement in my skin over the summer using Parure Gold and I hadn't changed my routine, only my foundation.

I've use other foundation products by Chanel Teint Innocence, Shiseido, Bobbi Brown and I wanted to try someone from Guerlain. The packaging is absolute luxury. The first time I purchased this I had to take it back because the SA matched the wrong color. Second time around the color was still off, and it looked like the color oxidized on me. I really wanted to like this but besides the wrong color match it became too oily by the afternoon. I am a combination skin and this was a little to greasy for my T-zone. I purchased this in the winter time knowing my skin gets a dry during the winter months but it turned out to be way to hydrating for me. The texture is amazing and glides on the skin nicely. Just not for me!! Had to return this!

I really wanted to LOVE this foundation. It has amazing package, smells so good and it has very nice medium coverage and makes your skin glow.
I have very clear, light sin tone. And after 3 days of using this foundation my forehead is FULL of pimples. My face has never looked so horrible. I have combination skin and after couple of hours my T-zone looked extremely greasy even with powder. Maybe I will use it again in winter, when my skin is more dry. I am angry, because it was said that this foundation is for all skin types - not really. I definitely recommend this to people with dry skin. Disappointed.

I love this foundation, it is my current favorite( beats my MUFE HD and Dior DiorSkin) :-)
A tiny bit goes a long way,Plenty of coverage with just 1 pump, leaves enough if you need to build up.. it blends easily and gives a smooth natural look!
But i highly recommend pairing this with setting powder (i use chanel poudre universelle libre) especially for oily skin like mine :)
I know it is pricey but totally worth it :)

I love this foundation - it's light and invisible, but covers redness and enhances skin color. It hydrates dry areas and has SPF 20. Would definitely buy it again!

I'm quite fond of this foundation, though not as much as an HG, I find I reach for it quite often. The shades match me pretty well, with 32 in the summer when I am more tanned and 31 in the winter when I get pale. The texture is quite watery and light, though not as runny as Lancome's Teint Miracle, and offers an almost medium coverage. The foundation is VERY moisturizing, for which the downside is it does not last very long. I prefer to wear it in winter, coz it feels very soothing. Overall, very nice product.

Put simply, it is a good foundation. It does it's job but I'm sure you can find one that works exactly the same for less. I wish they would put a Maybe option for buy again because depending on my bills I may or may not purchase again when I run out.
I've been using this with the Meteorites primer and it's nice because it is a very light primer and dries quickly on the skin. In conjunction with the primer this foundation has pretty good staying power, not so much without it. It has good coverage for a light foundation. I put on a lot to cover up some acne and kinda feel like it looks a little cakey. I used Hourglass for about two years and I gotta say for the same price point, I'll probably return to Hourglass for a lighter, more natural foundation.

After hearing many good things about this foundation, I am SO disappointed. At first it seemed to be nice: the fdt applies smoothly, provides medium coverage, and felt emollient enough for my dry-ish skin. But a few hours after application, the problem started. 1) It oxidized horribly, turning my face orange (and I usually do not have oxidization problem with foundations) 2) It felt moisturizing at first, but after a few hours, the moisture seemed to evaporate, leaving powdery-oily residue on skin. I felt very uncomfortable and looked extremely bad 3) it also emphasized pores and fine lines. I gave it many chances, but the result was the same. Since I had such high expectations, I was very disappointed. In fact, at least for me even Maybelline dream mousse performed better than this one... For a medium coverage foundation, I will just stick to YSL perfect touch or By Terry plumping foundation (both apply smoothly, do not dry out my skin, no oxidization).

Ok so this is a really nice foundation, goes on lovely and leaves my skin looking radiant............however word of caution i wore this for a night out last night. beware of this under UV club lights?!!!!!!! My WHOLE face was glowing a funny colour! ha ha ha. It made me positively glow...not in a good way!

I've got beige claire. The foundation adjusts itself to my skintone, because I can use it in winter and summer. It has a medium coverage, feels very light on the skin and has a nice smell to it. The bottle goes a long way, because of the size and because you only need one "pump" every day. I use a stippling brush to apply it to my face for the best effect.
I'm really pleased with this foundation. It doesn't clog my pores and doesn't become cakey at all. The reason why I would not repurchase: I have combination skin with an oily t-zone. The foundation melts of the oily parts and the satin finish would look lovely on normal skin, but my skin shines too much already.
Next time I want to buy a matte finish foundation for the combination skin. If I would not have had combination skin, I would have definitely repurchased though. It goes a long way, feels so light, adjust to the skintone, medium coverage. Great foundation, just not for my skin. The product is pretty expensive, I'll admit. But like I said: one bottle will last very long.

Just bought this foundation in shade 13 rose natural. Wouldn't pick this shade by myself, because i thought it would be too pink for my asian skin. But suprisingly this foundation looks so natural and healthy on me, it provides a medium coverage with a hint of rosy healthy sheen. Wore it today to work, just one pump is enough to layer thinly, which is appropriate for daytime usage. I have to update this review after 1 month or so, but so far i am very pleased with this product. Fyr mac nc 25-30, nars sheer glow in stromboli, chanel prolumiere in 30. Con is high price tag!! But overall very happy i found this HQ foundation :)

As someone who battles to find a foundation that does not make me grey this foundation changed my life. It literally is perfect for me. I am colour number 02. It is thin in consistency and provides a sheer coverage (almost like a tinted moisturiser) and lasts all day. Perfect for work or for the evening if you apply a thicker layer. My new grail item!!!

I've been using this product for about 4 months and I love it. Previously, I wore Elizabeth Arden Intervene foundation, which was fine but I wanted something to give a bit of a glow and I think Parure Aqua does the job nicely. I goes on well and leaves a lovely fresh finish, I use no. 2 (if I remember correctly) I have pink tones and this evens it out well to give a sallow/pale appearance.
I use a loose powder over it (Clarins) and Guerlian blusher which gives just the right amount of glow and not too much of the sparkle!
For a natural look with medium coverage, I think this is really worth a try.

I love this foundation. My shade is 05, the smell is great and also the coverage.

I really loved this foundation when i bought it, its not my favourite, so i probablly wouldnt buy it again as i prefer more of a fuller coverage (and after many unsuccessfull attempts i am still looking to find the ultimate foundation! any suggestions!?)
However, it was easy to apply and went on very smoothly. It also lasted all day without looking shiney although I did find it to go patchy in certain areas :(
Its smells lovely and also has really nice packaging!
