Terracotta Golden Dunes The Sun-Kissed Natural Healthy Glow Powder

Terracotta, a Guerlain makeup icon, the no. 1 bronzing powder in Europe¹ for a natural healthy glow, is continuing its inexhaustible reinvention with a limited edition of both its compact design and its iconic case: Terracotta Golden Dunes.

This exclusive new collection reinterprets the original legend associated with Terracotta powder, launched by the Maison Guerlain in 1984: capturing the multitude of shades of the dunes of the Moroccan desert, swept by the sun’s rays.

This image of the sun sculpting the contours of the dunes was the inspiration behind Terracotta Golden Dunes’ compaction. This collection’s unique harmony is available in three revisited new cases, which remain refillable. Guerlain has teamed up with the Aït Manos workshops to create this trio of exclusive cases. Keeping ancestral know-how alive, this Moroccan manufacturer is dedicated to modernizing an exceptional Moroccan craftsmanship technique: zellige, a traditional ornamental mosaic composed of coloured earthenware. These exceptional zellige patterns have been combined with a colourful marbled print adopting the shades of semi-precious stones.

Each of these refillable cases evokes a Moroccan desert:

Blue Daklha: a lapis lazuli-style blue highlighted around a red geometric motif, in a composition dotted with light blue and white.

Red Zagora: the contrast of garnet red and a duo of yellows through a design taking the shape of a stylized sun.

Green Agafay: the colour of jade dominates this design featuring a star-shaped motif around a gradation of green tones.
