Using the Kabuki brush or a powder brush, apply your TERRACOTTA powder by tracing a “3” on each side of the face: from the forehead to the cheeks and then to the chin, following the facial contours and moving down along the neck.

Final touch: take a small amount of TERRACOTTA powder with your brush and sweep it over the curved areas of the face, where the sun touches it most: the bridge of the nose, cheekbones and chin.

Since its creation in 1984, Terracotta Moisturising Bronzing Powder has become a legendary product and the secret weapon of all women! Its unique texture has always been Guerlain's best kept secret.
