Nothing says Summer quite like Guerlain’s Terracotta range and one of the best additions to the collection is the absolutely stunning Guerlain Terracotta Nude bronzer. It is stunning and now a permanent addition to the line up. I have lots of photos and swatches for you.

Check out my Best Bronzers 2023 post to find the right one for you.

The Terracotta collection truly is one I obsess about and the Terracotta Nude Glow Powder is such a crowd pleaser! Everyone of all skin tones loves it!! It has a beautiful tone, is very skin flattering and it smells like Summer.

On top of all that, they last forever, so they are an absolutely brilliant investment.

What is Guerlain Terracotta Nude?

So this is a nude glow powder designed to deliver a bare skin effect in a long lasting formula. It will be the perfect illuminator for someone that craves a really natural, skin-like radiance that makes skin appear lit-from-within. It is the kind of product that you can’t overdo because the texture melts into the skin, and the tone adapts to individual complexions.

Guerlain say this is like “a ray of morning sunshine, sheer and luminous.”.

• Delicate and seamless veil that illuminates the complexion
• Lightweight texture smoothes the skin and instantly revives
• Gives a naturally warmed bare-skin effect, unique to each skintone
• Terracotta Nude comes in a universal shade that adapts to any skin tone
• Uses a chameleon ingredient: Gemnude Light
• Sheer shade blends naturally with any skin colouring to even out the complexion
• Enriched with moisturising active ingredients, the formula preserves the skin’s natural moisturisation

Guerlain Terracotta Nude Swatch

This really is a rather unique product that you can only truly appreciate as it is applied to your complexion. The glow powder picks up easily on a brush, yet seems to disappear into the skin leaving nothing but a veil of radiance and a very natural looking warmth. It is quite stunning to see and experience.

I find it very smoothing on the skin, so much so that I can pretty much apply it anywhere on my face, without it emphasising texture of pores.

It gives the most amazing glow without looking like you are wearing highlighter and it is absolutely beautiful layered over the new Terracotta Matte powder (my shade is medium).

Nude is a long lasting powder and it just kept my skin looking fresh, hydrated and luminous all day. Obsessed with this. Of course it also smells gorgeous just like any Terracotta product should.
