Guerlain Sun Celebration Terracotta Bronzing Powder & Blush

Guerlain Sun Celebration Terracotta Bronzing Powder & Blush ($76.00 for 0.56 oz.) consists of three distinct shades with a gold overspray (which I removed by brushing it away before swatching/applying). There is a pinky-coral, tangerine, and brown. It’s most practically used in halves, so taking the bronzer and either adding the orange blush or the pink-coral blush to it, but the size of each quadrant isn’t quite big enough for an average-sized blush brush. If you have a smaller blush or highlighter brush, you could feasibly use each shade individually.

Coral Blush is a brightened, medium-dark pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin-matte finish. It had fairly good color payoff, but it was a product that performed best in application, not just a mere swatch (which isn’t uncommon with Guerlain’s blushes–their blush duos are far more impressived applied than just swatched). The texture is thin, finely-milled, and blends well on the skin. On its own, this shade wore well for eight hours before starting to fade. Milani Lady Rouge (06) (LE, $7.99) is brighter, darker. Tarte True Love (P, $26.00) is lighter. Too Faced Melt Into Spring (LE) is lighter. Bobbi Brown Pink Coral (LE, $26.00) is also lighter. theBalm Frat Boy (P, $21.00) is more muted. NYX Pinched (P, $5.00) is similar. NARS Amour (P, $29.00) is similar. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Sun Celebration Orange Blush is a light-medium, yellowed orange with a satin-matte finish. It had excellent color payoff, and the texture was soft, finely-milled, and not at all powdery. It applied well on the skin and blended easily. This shade wore well for just over eight hours when I tested it. Givenchy In Vogue Orange (P, $44.00) is slightly less yellow-toned. MAC Honey Jasmine (LE, $21.00) is similar. NARS Puerto Vallarta (LE, $39.00) is more shimmery, cream. Illamasqua Lover (P, $26.00) is lighter. Inglot #45 Face Blush (P, $10.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

Sun Celebration Bronzer is a medium-dark, yellow-toned brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It was buildable, but it didn’t have intense color payoff. Even when layered, it reaches semi-opaque coverage but doesn’t hit full. The texture was soft, lightly powdery, but smooth and sat well on the skin. This shade lasted for eight hours on me. NARS Vientiane (P, $39.00) is a cream product. NARS Cappadoce (P, $39.00) is darker, cream. Guerlain Moyen Brunettes (05) (LE, $75.00) is similar. MAC Hibiscus Kiss Bronzer (LE, $25.00) is a touch yellower. Le Metier de Beaute Sun Drenched (P, $55.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

I bought mine on Sephora, but Nordstrom also has it now.
