Valmont L'Elixir des Glaciers Teint Precieux

High-Coverage Smoothing Foundation with a Refined Matte Finish

L’Elixir des Glaciers Teint Précieux is an exceptional liquid foundation that combines high-performance complexion coverage with the skincare expertise of Valmont’s Swiss Poly-Active collection.

Its silky cream texture glides seamlessly over the complexion, helping visibly soften fine lines, refine uneven-looking texture and create a smooth, sophisticated matte finish without sacrificing comfort or luminosity.

More than makeup alone, Teint Précieux leaves the complexion looking unified, polished and beautifully rested.

How It Works

• Triple DNA helps support hydration and a smoother, more supple-looking complexion.
• RNA helps support the appearance of skin vitality and renewal.
• Echinacea Root Extract helps condition and support the skin’s natural protective barrier.
• Rosehip Oil provides nourishing lipids that help maintain softness and flexibility.
• Sea Buckthorn Extract offers antioxidant and conditioning support while helping the complexion appear fresh and revitalized.
• Powders, silicones and mineral pigments create the formula’s high coverage, refined slip and soft-focus matte finish.
• How to Use
• Begin with well-prepared, moisturized skin and apply sunscreen as the final step of skincare.
• Place a small amount of Teint Précieux at the centre of the forehead and blend outward toward the hairline and temples using gentle smoothing movements.
• Continue over the cheeks, nose and chin, blending from the centre of the face outward and slightly upward.
• Finish by softening the foundation along the jawline and neck so no visible line remains.
• Build additional coverage only where needed.

Loshen & Crem’s Recommendation

Teint Précieux is best applied in thin, intentional layers.

Its coverage is impressive, so begin with less than you think you need. Concentrate the first application through the centre of the face, then blend outward where less coverage is usually required.

For a more seamless finish, prepare the skin according to its needs:

• Dehydrated skin should begin with a hydrating serum and a light moisturizer
• Combination skin can apply moisturizer more generously through dry areas and less through the T-zone
• Visible texture benefits from pressing the foundation into the skin rather than repeatedly sweeping over it

We especially recommend Teint Précieux for someone who loves a polished complexion but does not want foundation to look thick or obvious.

For a More Luminous Finish

• For dry or mature-looking skin, mix a very small drop of Huile Majestueuse with Teint Précieux immediately before application.
• Blend them together on the back of the hand rather than adding oil directly to the foundation bottle.
• This creates a more supple, luminous finish while preserving the foundation’s smoothing coverage.

For a More Velvety Finish

• Apply Teint Précieux first, then lightly press Poudre de Teint Précieuse over the T-zone or areas where additional refinement and longevity are desired.
• Avoid heavily powdering the entire face unless your skin requires it. A strategic application keeps the complexion dimensional and fresh.
