| Parure Extreme in the shade. |
Above and below: I was able to swatch eight shades of the Guerlain Parure Extreme Foundation SPF 25. Shade descriptions are as follows…
1. Rose Natural (13): Very light rosy beige for light skin with pink (cool) undertones.
2. Beige Clair (02): Very light beige with neutral undertones, suitable for fair to light skin tones (my winter shade).
3. Beige Natural (03): Neutral beige for light to medium (NC 25-NC30) skin tones (my spring and summer shade).
4. Beige Moyen (04): Neutral beige for medium (NC 30-40) skin tones.
5. Tres Fonce (06): Darkest shade in the spectrum for women of color with neutral undertones.
6. Dore Natural (23): Warm toned beige for medium (NC 30-40) skin tones.
7. Dore Moyen (24): Neutral toned beige for dark (NC 45-55) skin tones.
8. Dore Fonce (25): Warm toned beige for very dark (NC 55+) skin tones.

#2 looks rather light?? #3 doesn't look that dark??
I've got pink undertones, can use beige neutrals…definitely no yellow undertones!!
… I'm an approx. NW20-25… In Dior Forever I'm a 022 cameo.. Can u plz suggest the best colour for me? Thanks for the swatches:)
Hello Andrea,
Thanks for stopping by…I would say that #13 would likely be your best match. It has a great neutral to rosy beige undertone and is about NW 25. I hope that helps!!

I'm NC 25/30 in MAC, does #3 suits me? Are all the shades of Guerlain the same? I've tried Guerlain Parure Gold in the counter and #3 seems too dark, almost a bronzer, the SA recommended #2 but I have strong yellow undertones. She recommended Guerlain Parure Lumiere instead, #32 and fits me well (until I got home and realized it was a shade lighter than my neck)
Hello Karen Ann,
Thanks for the question. If you are closer to NC 30, I think #3 will be a fantastic match. I wouldn't say that the numbered shades across all of the Guerlain foundations are entirely consistent…close, but not exact. It just depends on the formula! I can wear this formula in #2 when I am a NC 20-25 and #3 when I am a NC 25-30 (late spring and summer).
I hope that helps!

Hii thank you for the shades, I have really yellow undertones but I'm kind of tan also, you think 4 would be good for me? thanks 🙂
Hi Soficore…thanks for the question. In light of your description it sounds to me like #4 could work. If it ends up being too dark, then I suggest getting #3 as well to mix in to create your perfect shade!

Hi I'm NC35 and saw on sale Beige Fonce05, do you think it would work for me? TIA!
Hello Tin,
I don't have Beige Fonce #5 in my swatches so I couldn't say for sure. If you are NC 35, then #4 or #23 could potentially work!

Hello! Thanks for good review! Can you tell with shade is more light #2 or #3? I have NW2 I think. And I don't want yellow or pink undertone. I need more neutral. Which you can recommend? Thank you:)
My pleasure..#2 is lighter and neutral in undertone!
Hope that helps…xo

Hi, I use NC45 in MAC. I feel either Dore Moyen(24) or Dore fonce would be what my choice ought to be. Which would you suggest would be a better option. Thanks :-).
Hello May!
I am guessing that you would be better off in the Dore Moyen (24).
I hope that helps…xx,
