Terracotta Summer Glow — Illuminating Powder for a Naturally Healthy Complexion — Limited Edition
Every summer since 1984, the iconic Terracotta Light bronzing powder—number one in Europe¹—has been reinvented in a limited edition that defines the season. In 2026, Guerlain goes further than ever before: reinterpreting both the compact formula and the design of the iconic compact, in collaboration with the Aït Manos workshops, a Moroccan manufacturer internationally renowned for its excellence in zellige, the ancient ornamental mosaic of colored faience. The result is Terracotta Summer Glow, part of the Terracotta Golden Dunes collection: an object of beauty and craftsmanship.
The unprecedented compact abandons the flat surface in favor of an undulating texture reminiscent of Moroccan desert dunes sculpted by sunlight. This harmonious blend of shades—two warm-gold bronzers, a delicate pink, and an apricot coral—can be blended together for overall warmth or precisely targeted to sculpt the face. And for the first time in Terracotta's history, the powder can also be applied to the eyelids. The exclusive case, featuring zellige patterns inspired by a radiant sun on an ochre mosaic and golden highlights reminiscent of amber, is refillable and collectible. The formula retains its core identity: 96% naturally derived ingredients, enriched with Moroccan flower honey for optimal all-day hydration.
