Lighter than a foundation, this protective tinted moisturiser guarantees a corrected and sun-kissed complexion. Plumped and revitalised, skin displays a natural golden glow, inspired by the radiance of the Mediterranean sun. Thanks to its second-skin texture, the makeup result is ultra-natural, fingertip application intuitive and the coverage buildable, from light to medium. This 24-h wear, no-transfer makeup result is combined with a multiprotective action and powerful skincare active ingredients to offer skin the best of the sun while protecting it from its harmful effects linked to UV rays, thanks to a SPF 20 – PA+++. Skin is durably hydrated, plumped and revitalised, for a naturally radiant complexion. The non-comedogenic formula adapts to all skin types. Its iconic fragrance is instantly recognisable, thanks to its ylang-ylang and orange blossom heart, fusing with a musky and vanilla-inflected tonka bean note. Resisting heat and humidity, Terracotta Joli Teint is the perfect ally for makeup, creating a sun-kissed complexion, whatever the season or climate. Terracotta Joli Teint’s palette of shades consists of five buildable shades designed to adapt to a wide array of skin tones, allowing you to intuitively find the right tone. These buildable shades create a perfectly even complexion and stable colour for 24 hours.

FAQs
Is this a foundation or a tinted moisturizer?
Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint is a protective tinted moisturizer. It offers lighter, buildable coverage compared to a traditional foundation.
Can I use this if I have oily skin?
Yes, the formula is non-comedogenic and designed for all skin types. However, for very oily skin, you might consider using a mattifying primer underneath and a light dusting of powder on the T-zone.
How much coverage does it provide?
It provides buildable coverage, ranging from light to medium. It is designed to even out skin tone and provide a natural glow, not to cover significant imperfections.
What is the SPF level?
The product includes SPF 20 – PA+++, offering protection against harmful UV rays.
How do I choose the right shade?
The range includes five buildable shades designed to adapt to various skin tones. It's recommended to test shades in natural light if possible, or consider your natural skin tone and undertones.
Can I apply it with a brush or sponge?
While fingertip application is recommended for its intuitive and second-skin finish, you can also use a brush or damp sponge for application and blending if preferred.
Does it feel heavy on the skin?
No, the formula has an ultra-sensory, second-skin texture that feels very light and comfortable on the skin.
Troubleshooting
Product appears streaky or uneven.
Ensure skin is properly prepped and moisturized. Use clean fingertips and blend thoroughly from the center outwards. Allow a minute for the product to meld with the skin before assessing.
Shade looks too light or too dark.
Test shades in natural light if possible. Consider mixing two shades for a custom match, or use a lighter shade for brightening and a slightly deeper shade for contouring.
Skin feels slightly dry after application.
Ensure you are using a hydrating moisturizer underneath. You can also layer a facial oil before application on dry areas.
Fragrance is too strong.
Apply the product and allow it to sit for a few minutes; the scent often dissipates. If sensitive, try applying it only to the outer areas of the face or consider a fragrance-free alternative.
