Review – Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder for Men

Looking to cheat your way to a healthy, tanned complexion this summer? Look no further than the fantastic Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder for Men.
I picked this up at Harrods last month and have been using it regularly ever since. From ultra-luxe French brand Guerlain, this bronzing powder promises a completely natural tanned finish to the skin. Let’s have a look at what Guerlain have to say…
A phenomenal success with those men who like to cheat a healthy glow as much as women, TERRACOTTA MEN is a bronzing powder especially designed for men: matt and natural. This shade is perfect for men who do not want anyone to discover their secret. This masculine, elegant and modern powder comes with a generous, slightly concave brush for ease of application. Available in one shade to suit all: 01 Ultra–naturel.
The colour is a neutral brown shade (the colour of a real tan which, despite what you may have seen, isn’t orange) and should work well for most skin tones. The powder itself is finely milled, matte and completely undetectable when applied to the skin. Part of this is due to the included brush which looks a lot like a smaller version of the badger brushes you use for shaving. Simply swirl the brush into the powder, tap the handle on your hand to shake off all the excess product and then apply to your face (to see how to apply the bronzer, click here for my Bronzer post). The dense (yet soft) brush is perfect for a natural finish as it works the product into the skin rather than laying it on top – making the product totally invisible on skin. The packaging is pretty sleek too.
If you’re looking to warm up your complexion this winter or give it a boost this summer, check this one out!
