With summer on its last leg ( so to say! ), what better time to take advantage of that and write about the epitome of luxury bronzing powder products Guerlain Terracottas are!

I love some brands for their lipsticks, some for their colour selection, but Guerlain has definitely the most gorgeous bronzers I have ever tried! Matte, glowy, with such a variety of shades to choose from, housed in an extremely beautiful, luxury packaging – Guerlain has it all!

Now, I’m not going to talk again about the Terracotta Light and the Sun Celebration 30 Years Anniversary Sun Star Pallette because I already reviewed them! Just click on them and the links will redirect you to the actual posts!

So, the one I will be talking about next is the Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Tailor-Made Bronzing Powder. My shade now is #03 Light Brunette.

This is a re-re-repurchase for me. The first one I had came in the lightest shade #00 Nude. My second one was the shade #03 Light Brunette, but after a few good months of thoroughly usage, I somehow managed to reduce it to pieces! Yup, I am clumsy like that!

I still had my Terracotta Light in #02 Sun Blondes, but I needed a “certain” matte bronzer, a good old friend I knew and loved! A re-purchase was inevitable!

With your permission, beautiful, I will give you the full description of this product, from Guerlain’s website.

From winter to summer, the tone of the complexion changes. This is why Guerlain has created Terracotta 4 Seasons, a variation in four steps to sculpt your tan all year long. The perfect gradation of caramelised hues, these four shades can be endlessly combined and layered, depending on your desire, skin tone and the season, for an authentic tan and an incredibly natural result.
The complexion is sun-kissed with a sheer finish, both radiant and matt. The natural effect is irreproachable and the tan seems reinvented.

What is there more to add?! Great product, gorgeous packaging, flawless application! Definitely a must-have in everyone’s makeup collection!

Next you will have some swatches of the Terracotta 4 Seasons bronzing powder and a few more photos of my little Guerlain Powder Bronzers collection to please your eyes!

Guerlain Terracotta Sun Celebration 30th Anniversary Edition Bronzing Powder and Blush “The Star Sun Powder”

Today I am happy to share with you my own experience with one of the most beautiful summer releases – if not all year round! Because I think it will be rather difficult for another brand to release a more beautiful pattern on a product, or package, or scent than Guerlain‘s Terracotta Sun Celebration 30th Anniversary Edition Bronzing Powder and Blush, “The Star Sun Powder”.

photo 3.1 – you might have seen already this picture on my Instagram account

This is a beautiful combination of bronzer and blush all-in-one product, that Guerlain launched in May 2014, to mark their 30th Anniversary. This limited edition palette is meant to capture the allure of the sun in a pan. And it definitely does that with the two bronzer sections, a bright pink blush, doubled by another beautiful orange coloured one. The sun in the center is only a gold overspray, and it will wear off with using the product.

Before buying it, my main concern was how this will translate on my rather pale skin?! I have to admit that this is one step close to an orange look when all the colours are swirled together, mainly because the orange blush gives away more colour than the pink one. But used with a light hand, everyone can make it work!

– L-R: bronzer, orange blush, pink blush, and the last swatch are all the colours swirled together

The powder is extremely finely-milled and the colours are easily buildable, even if they will start off very subtle. Except for the gold sun overspray in the middle of the pan, all the colours are matte. 

I would rather use the colours ( bronzer and blushes ) separately. One great thing about this palette is that the shades are large enough, that you can go in with a decent sized brush and pin point exactly which colour you want to use. I used it with my Tom Ford #06 Cheek Brush, but mainly with my Hakuhodo J210 Blush Brush, because I like more the way the product blends with it.

The packaging is this 16 g of product gathered in a sleek, wooden compact, with a mirrored detachable lid, held together by 3 magnets. Can anyone beat Guerlain on that presentation?! Not really!

And the scent… OMG! That scent is God sent! ( feeling the poet side of a beauty blogger, much?! ) It does not have the usual Guerlain violet signature scent! This one is more fresh and more floral, with a tinge of sweetness in it. It will instantly take you to an exotic Thaitian garden, filled with tiaré flowers. Some might find the scent overpowering, but I think that it is simply gorgeous.

As for the wearing time: I have applied it in the morning when I did my makeup and after 8 hours of work, and sun, and sweat at the end of the day I could see slight signs of fading. And without any touch ups!

Bottom line: If you are after that deep, summer kind of a goldeny bronzed glow this is the right product you were lusting after!

Thoughts on it? Please share!

See you soon, beautiful!

xx, Annie
