I've loved Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder from the very first time I tested it a couple of years ago and have gone through my first compact of this bronzer very quickly. My color has always been Brunette (02) and it gave me a lovely sun kissed glow. That is, until recently, when the change in my skin tone has become very obvious and Brunette became too dark for me.It's weird, really. I'm not exactly all alabastered out. I'm just a very pale version of myself, so many of my favorite staple products need to go down a notch or two pigment-wise.
I was chatting with the SA at the Guerlain counter at Saks spending some time at Chanel. It was the day I got new (and much lighter) foundation and concealer, which was all the face paint I had on at that point (and some basic eye makeup). The SA commented that I could use some color on my cheeks. She looked at me carefully and reached for Terracotta Light bronzer. In Blonde.
And it worked. Blonde or not, this was the perfect color to bring out some natural looking warmth without going into orange territory. You can see the colors side by side- Blonde is not all that light, after all.
The SA didn't use the regular Terracotta bronzing brush. Instead, she applied the powder with a foundation brush like the one you see here. I've been trying it, but I think I still prefer the fluffy round brushes.
Guerlain Terracotta Light Sheer Bronzing Powder ($50) is available from Sephora and most department stores. I bought it at Saks NYC.
