Great Contouring Set
-02.24.13
Quick Take: matte finish
I found this bronzer too dark for my light skin tone. However, its great for contouring cheekbones and jawline. Still a nice addition for my makeup case,

Oh For The Days When Guerlain Made For Men
-02.02.13
Quick Take: matte finish, natural looking
For you youngsters, it was this big kinda space ship like container (with a great brush -- do I really need a $50 Guerlain brushl......). But those days are long gone, probably gone before Sephora was even born. BUT I digress -- Guerlain will always be the gold standard for any of its various terracottas. Total classic status.

Too orange for my olive skin tone.
-01.20.13
I love the texture of the bronzer, but it gave my skin an orange glow. Doesn't work with my skin color.

This really delivers!
-01.02.13
Quick Take: natural
It's hard to find a bronzer that gives you that subtle hint of color and a glow without making you look to orange or looking to harsh against fairer skin tones. I'm a very pale brunette and I like my bronzers looking natural. I already had Guerlain's Terracotta Bronzer in a single shade, but I think it's too light for my skin tone. I bought this bronzer because my mother had the blonde version and she kept raving about it. I somewhat gawked at the pricetag but figured it was worth it. I absolutely love it and now don't use any other bronzer. Guerlain practically invented bronzer and are the industry's go-to when it comes to bronzer and it's not hard to see why.

Looked red
-07.11.12
I was so excited to try this because I wanted to try a different bronzer and this looked because it provided 4 different colors so you can match what color skintone you are. I have dark brown;black hair so I went for the color brunnete but it looks like it has a red undertone to it so it can look muddy on the skin. However, this product smells really nice!

Gorgeous and......
-04.07.12
I just want to say that I really do love this bronzer its matte yet has this sheen to it. The color is perfect! perfect for summer and even better fall and winter. So onto the reason I gave this product only 4 stars. Well for starters the price it's an investment. 75$ is just a bit overwhelming.okay so that's not the bad part it's the fragrance. In sure they're so many of you that like the scent. I am not inner of them, it's extremely strong at first and lingers. So I just let it sit open for about an hour and it had helped. I wish Guerlain would think about updating their scentof their products. I would buy more products from this brand.

Insanely Expensive but Insanely Amazing
-03.18.12
This bronzer is TO DIE FOR. It applies so well, lasts forever and you can build the colour to suit your skin tone and desired bronze. Amazing for contouring and mixed with NARS blush in orgasm it made me look like I was fresh from a few weeks in Hawaii! Beware though, a little goes a long way and apply with a light hand!

Great on deep/dark skin tones
-12.13.11
I have dark skin and currently use the Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzing Powder. While the price is definitely steep, I am in love with this product.
Instead of using it to sculpt and highlight, I use it on my entire face. Using this bronzer together with Bobbi Brown spot concealer, I no longer wear foudation as part of my day-to-day look.
I constantly receive compliments on how my skin has a healthy glow. I also love that it contains SPF 10.
I have yet to try the regular Terracotta bronzing powder. Not sure it will have the same effect as the 4 Seasons,as I do not know if the "glow" can be attributed to the "pure gold". It would be great if it did, so I could pay $49 instead of $74.

I'm fair and brunette wasn't even dark enough
-07.14.11
Quality in terms of the product, very subtle, fine milled. I can't imagine how light the lighter shade is when the brunette is so light - I am fair with pink in my skin and a little color, use self tanner. Just couldn't justify this product for the lack of depth of color, so I sent it back.

I love this product! I buy a lot of bronzers, and consider myself an expert and this is a great product. I do want to try to other Guerlain bronzers to see if the price justifies this particular product.

I absolutely love this bronzer. I love that it has four colors in it, so it works for people with all complexions. It is also matte, which is a good thing as shimmery bronzers can look muddy on you. Very pricey but so worth it!

This bronzer is awsome. I switched from Too Face Chocolate Soiel, which is good but not as verstile. I was always having to blend it out alot to get it right. With the 4 seasons I don't have to worry, I have blend the colors to go with the season and my skintone year round

Quick Take: expensive
I found this bronzer to be too dark. I read many reviews and most people loved this product. I have a fair complexion and it just didn't work for me.

Love.
-01.08.11
I had always heard great things about Guerlain bronzers and being a bronze-o-holic, tanorexic I knew I HAD to give their bronzers a try. I absolutely LOVE everything about this bronzer. It gives your 4 options for colours, or you can swirl them all around together which I usually do. It smells fantastic. Most bronzers when you are clumsy like me break within a few weeks but I have dropped mine countless times and it has never broken! The compact is extremely solid. Also the price tag may seem high, but I put a bit on my face everyday and it has lasted me 6 months so far and will definitely last many more! Once I run out I will buy this product again and again. I'm hooked!

You Will NOT REGRET IT
-12.06.10
It stung to add this to my cart but I trusted Allure when they ranked this the #1 bronzer for their Editor's Choice this year. Bronzer has always been one thing I will splurge on. SO WORTH IT. You will not regret buying this...it has lasted me forever and I use it every day. It comes with detailed instructions on how to apply..but really it's simple. I have very pale skin and medium brown hair: I usually swirl all colors together and blend, blend, blend for about 15 seconds on each side of my face. Some days I just use the two lighter colors as a blush/eye shadow. My makeup bag contains hundreds of dollars worth of makeup so trust me: I have tried them all and this bronzer has no muddy color and is not at all overwhelming on my normally pallid complexion. Healthy and sexy!

Great Bronzer
-11.10.10
Another great bronzer product from Guerlain-this company gets it right in the bronzer category every time-this is great for year-round use to blend as you darken and fade with the changes in season or vacation! I am a die-had tanorexic and this product gives realistic color!
