Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzing Powder
Guerlain’s iconic Terracotta is a must-have for all beauty lovers. The latest version, 4 seasons, has been created for you to use all year long. It contains four graduated caramelised hues, that can be combined or work on their own to work with your skin tone. This means that you’ll need just one bronzer all year round – rather than six!
NARS The Matte Multiple – Siam
Another multi-tasking product that hit our wish list is this handy one from Nars, which is ideal for adding a flush of colour to cheeks and pouts. Our top shade is Siam – a bold orange red which is one of the biggest hues this season. Leaving a matte finish, this can be used wet or dry and is buildable on colour too.
