Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder Review

The Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Broning Powder, this shade here is the lightest shade available in Blonde 01



About: The Guerlain sheer bronzer is described as a sun kissed bronzer with a mosaic of five shades good for all skin types. Comes in 3 different shades. 

Price: $50 for .35oz

Thoughts: If you're looking for a sheer and natural looking bronzer that offers a nice glow without too much shimmer look no further. The texture is extremely silky and easy to blend. Its multi-purposeful, can be used as a bronzer, contour, or as a blush. There's just the right amount of shimmer in it, you won't end up looking like a disco ball. The downside is the $50 price tag. See before and after pics at the bottom. 

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 

Where to purchase: Sephora


Before and After:



I'm not usually a bronzer girl because most of the ones I've tried were either too shimmery or too pigmented. This is a great find for me. What do you guys think?


If you're curious about the makeup on my face:


- Guerlain Meteorites Primer (not in picture)
- Guerlain Parure Extreme Foundation #02 (not in picture)
- Benefit Creaseless Cream in Birthday Suit
- Bobbi Brown Basic Palette
- Guerlain Bal De Nuit Holiday Palette
- Guerlain 4 Eclats Blush #04
- Benefit Jing-A-Ling lipstick (not in picture)

Guess what? Its almost Friday!

XOXO, M
