About brand
The founder of the French brand in 1828 was the chemist François Guerlain, who was born into a family of pharmacists and from childhood was interested in experiments in the field of science. He received a decent education in the UK, after which he opened a small pharmacy of his own in Paris. Initially, his shop was engaged in soap making, producing fragrant solid soap, which Francois then sold on his own. The pharmacy brought a steady income, but the young chemist strove for development and dreamed of fame. In his shop, he began to mix different ingredients to get the perfect flavor. So there was a perfume from Guerlain, which was the first step towards creating a huge empire.
Among the clients of Monsieur Guerlain, one could notice such famous personalities as the writer Honore de Balzac, Princess Elizabeth. The fragrances produced in the store were new for that time and brought great fame to the founder.
Until 1994, the company produced only perfume, but then there was a successful transformation into a huge cosmetic concern.Prior to this, the reins of government were inherited, but the last of the heirs of Francois (Jean-Paul Guerlain), tired of production affairs, sold the company to the LVMH holding. However, the brand managed to maintain traditions and remain the main perfume giant, and then launch the production of premium color cosmetics.
Decorative cosmetics from the brand has gained worldwide fame due to the high quality of production, the well-known name of its creators and a large selection. These are tonal means for the face, lipsticks and the legendary mascara, which will be discussed further.

The first thing that attracts attention is the unusual design. A luxurious case that you want to take in your hands, it stands out on any shelf in the store.
The saturation of decorative cosmetics with its signature fragrance also leaves a pleasant impression. This is an unobtrusive smell that does not irritate and does not affect the receptors negatively. Volumetric mascara smells like milk chocolate, classic - delicate violet. In the aroma of the novelty, you can catch a whole bright composition, consisting of a ripe peach, fragrant raspberries and expensive powder. After staining, the aroma quickly ceases to be felt.
After applying mascara to add volume, the eyelashes become incredibly fluffy. Even if they are not too long, the look is very expressive.
A diverse color palette of classic mascara allows you to create the most original images - a rich blue and purple hue will help you look perfect at any party.
Eyelashes look natural, mascara does not create the effect of "spider legs", gluing individual eyelashes and turning them into ugly bunches.
The wide part of the brush of the new Guerlain mascara is very convenient to paint over the corners of the eyes and the lower row of eyelashes, for this it has a very suitable shape and sufficient softness.
The consistency of pleasant density does not flow from the brush and does not remain on the neck of the case, drying out and quickly deteriorating.
The dispenser, located at the neck, allows you to take exactly the amount of funds required for uniform application of one layer. The brush is easy to remove from the package in a circular motion so that the excess remains on the walls. In the same way, you need to return it inside. If you simply stick it into the case, air will enter there, which will help the product dry quickly.
Mascara is hypoallergenic, suitable when wearing lenses, does not cause discomfort to sensitive eyes. All this thanks to the adhesive oil in the composition of the product.
Each piece is complemented by a small mirror, which many use to check makeup and quickly adjust it.
The main advantage of French mascara is the ease of application and the cost-effectiveness of the product. You can achieve a luxurious look and lush eyelashes by applying just one layer. The mascara remains fresh and retains its texture even after several months, without drying out and without losing its properties.This is the hallmark of this brand.
