Terracotta Light Powder Face Powder (04 DEEP COOL)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OMG...the first thing that hit me was the beautiful packaging and faint pleasant scent when I opened the compact. Then I was mesmerized with the mosaic formula. The elephant in the room is that I definitely need a deeper shade to give full feedback. However, I can say the formula was very smooth and blendable. You definitely should like the shimmer flakes. Overall, a deeper shade would set my finished makeup look off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The terracotta light healthy glow lives up to it’s name! I have light skin and sometimes it’s needs a little something. I use this product on busy mornings when the full contour/highlight routine is not going to happen. I sweep it around my frame, under cheekbones and jawline. The color is natural. It’s buildable in layers, I use more for evening looks but it doesn’t sit in my fine lines. It does shimmer ever so slightly in the light. The compact is slim and easy to bring along. But it stays on well so reapplication was hardly necessary. It didn’t have ant scent that clashed with other products. This is a convenient product, just needs a good fluffy brush to apply.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love this product - the packaging feels so luxurious (you can’t capture it properly on camera, it’s a 3D type lid and it’s stunning) and the product itself is exceptional. I love that this has bronzer, blush and highlight all in one, it just gives an amazing all over glow and is will be a definite staple in my makeup bag! I already own (and love) their blush and I’m excited to keep growing my collection of their incredible products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately it was too light for my mediun deep skin. But I love the light glow that see on my cheeks. It has a fragrance that didn't bother me. A slight powder smell. If you're sensitive to smell. This might bother you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This powder made my cheeks look so sun kissed. Only needed a little too so it will last me a long while. It doesn't come with a sponge or brush so I just used my finger. It's a very cutely designed compact with mirror.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was delighted to receive this compact bronzer aka “Healthy Glow Powder” from Guerlain via Influenster to review. I do favour a natural look, and I usually use a light bronzer to give my face some warmth and colour, especially in the winter when the sun is largely absent and I need to bring myself back to life! This compact itself is beautiful, with a deep-set logo which glows red when it catches the light. Inside there is a mirror, and the application directions are to trace a “3” down the side of your face with your favourite brush, mimicking where the sun hits. I also like to a add a light touch to my nose, collar bones and cleavage for the same reason. I find it really lifts my face and makes me look well! The powder itself is a tiled mosaic of shades. Amongst the golden browns nestles an orangey tone for warm skin tones (I used shade 3 which is warm) and a pinky hue for for cool skin tones. There are also options for paler and darker skin colours, so you should be able to select the right one for you (I’d love to try a cool one too to see if it suits me better). There is a light shimmer to the powder, which I’m pleased to report is very subtle and I will be pleased to incorporate it into my daily rotation. This compact seems to retail around £30-40 which I wouldn’t normally spend, but it does feel like a high quality product, so worth trying if you are in the market for a new bronzing powder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the Guerlain Paris Terracotta Light - The sunkissed Healthy Glow Powder. Mine is in the shade 03 - Medium Warm. Firstly the packaging is stunning. It is absolutely beautiful, I will try to upload a video. It’s a gorgeous burgundy/brown compact with a swirly gold design inside the top of the compact and it shines as you move it around and it catches the light. It has “GUERLAIN” engraved at the bottom on the top of the compact. Inside the compact, it has a mirror which is handy, and immediately I could smell a gorgeous scent. It smells like a very rich, beautiful woman! I then immediately went on the YUKA app to see its ingredients and this product ranked Excellent on the Yuka app so it is made with natural ingredients which won’t harm your skin. I swatched it on the back of my hand and it matched perfectly with my skin tone. This is where I got confused because influencers online are using this to contour and bronze their cheekbones. It doesn’t say on the packaging that this is a bronzer so I have come to the conclusion that this is an “all over finishing/bronzing/glow powder so I tried it all over my cheeks and forehead where I want to look glowy and bronzed and it does exactly what it says on the tin. This powder will give you (as it says on the packaging) a “sunkissed healthy glow”. This is a stunningly beautiful finishing glow powder, which is not glittery at all. It has tiny shimmers which is not very obvious. It gives a subtle, natural glow. I’m so, so happy with this product and will be using this daily. I would 100% recommend and will be repurchasig when I hit pan. Having said that, I’ve just turned over the compact and it does seem to look like this can be refilled as it has the same little hole you can use to push the used pan out (to refill) as the charlotte Tilbury compacts do. So happy if this is the case.
