Guerlain 2010 Terracotta Collection
April 1, 2010 If you plan to transform yourself into a bronze summer goddess, Guerlain's 2010 Terracotta Collection has all the products to help you attain that goal.
They introduced a new Terracotta 4 Seasons, a bronzing powder infused with pure gold particles. Depending on the season, you can custom blend a matte, natural-looking tan from four shades. The reflective properties from the gold particles will illuminate the skin with no iridescent effect. This powder also includes SPF 10.
The Teint D'Ailleurs Tinted Moisturizer SPF 10 contains a Tan Booster complex that will intensify and prolong your natural tan. For a radiant finish, the Terracotta Touch highlighter will erase shadows from the face, creating the perfect sun-kissed glow. I'm a brunette, but for some reason the shades are darker in this formula, so I ended up using the 01 Blondes shade. A few swipes is all you really need. This product also contains pure gold particles to bring extra radiance.
To make the rest of your features stand out, the Terracotta Gloss comes in six new shades (with SPF 15). I happen to love the #03 Grenade, an iridescent rosy pink shade. The texture is quite amazing, as it looks like a sticky gloss, but the feel is completely creamy and smooth. The ergonomic applicator also makes it easier to apply when you're in a rush.
As for the eyes, the new loose powder Terracotta Khol is a deep chocolate brown shade (06 Mirage). It comes with a thin wand applicator to ensure a precise eyeliner. You can also use a brush for the ultimate smoky eye. It can get a bit messy, so be careful. It stays put so you don't have to touch up during the day. It goes on beautifully with the Terracotta Fard Metal Eye Shadow & Liner in 01 Gold Rush. I love these smooth eyeliner pens - they can also double as an eyeshadow, giving you more bang for your buck.
