Tan-talising hint of summer…


Having pioneered ‘tan’ cosmetics (with good old Teint Doré brush-on bronzer), Guerlain are now synonymous with sunshine. It’s always cheering to the heart on a chilly January day to get a vision of what summer has in store – especially when there are several clever innovations in the collection. First: Four Seasons, a four-shade matte bronzing powder which can be custom-blended for spring/summer/autumn/winter depending how brown you want to appear. Second: an utterly divine, silky-matte tinted moisturiser, Teint d’Ailleurs. Thirdly: the most genius, duh!-why-didn’t-anyone-think-of-it-before product: Terracotta Touch, which is a brush-on concealer for – yes – tanned skin (rather than the usual pale options). Available – like most things in this range – in either Blonde or Brunette. Or, in other words, perfect-for-Jo, and perfect-for-Sarah. Thanks, Guerlain!
