The Chicest French Women I Know All Consider This 197-Year-Old Makeup Brand the Best Ever

The Guerlain name is synonymous with perfume legends, but I'd argue that its makeup is equally as coveted amongst beauty insiders. From the cult-favourite Terracotta bronzers to the Rouge G lipstick cases that double as collectable objets d'art, the best Guerlain makeup offers classic formulas that have stood the test of time, as well as newer innovations that are truly worthy of a spot in your makeup bag. It's one of the best luxury makeup brands out there.

Of course, everything from Guerlain feels inherently French. There is not one Guerlain makeup product I've tried that isn't a delight to use—and as for the packaging, every compact, tube and tin is a piece of art in itself that you'll want to keep on your dressing table. Chic Parisians count Guerlain products as French-girl essentials.

To find out what the best products are, I wore a full face of Guerlain's makeup over a week—these are the products I'm keeping in my permanent rotation.
