Guerlain is world-renowned for their bronzers and face powders, so I am incredibly excited to try one of their most popular products — one of Into The Gloss’ summer essentials — the Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder.  I mean, look how pretty!

Guerlain 03 Brunettes Terracotta Light

Guerlain 03 Brunettes Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder ($56) is infused with “apricot accents to enhance the brunettes golden natural tan.”  This imparts more glow than other bronzers I’ve tried in the past.  It is almost like a hybrid bronzer/highlighting powder.   It consists of five different shades of powders, ranging from light apricot to deep copper brown.  The shimmer in this is not chunky, and the result is a very believable tan on my skin.

Check out the packaging, too.  The Guerlain logo glows red as the light hits it.  The compact is obviously well thought out, sturdy and not bulky.  The powder is lightly fragranced (floral).  To me, it smells expensive and luxurious.

My complexion is quite flat after my powder foundation, but after a sheer application of Terracotta Light, the results just stunning: perfectly highlighted cheeks, glowy JLo tan.  I wore this in my NARS Niagara Lipstick review and I just fell in love with the effect.  For those who are afraid of looking orange, Terracotta Light also comes in two shades for blondes, which have pink accents instead of apricot.

I really really love this product.  I think I love it more than Dior Aurora.  I just can’t get enough of that glow!  There’s just something in the way the powder is milled that looks amazing when the light hits it.  This one is a must-see.

Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder is available in all Guerlain Counters across Canada.
