The Guerlain Meteorites Compact Light Revealing Powder ($71) in Mythic is Geurlain's Meteorite Pearls in a pressed powder format. I don't own the original Guerlain Meteorites so I can't say if it compares. The premise of both products is the same - the blending of corrective and enhancing colours to catch the light into soft-focus on the face.
The compact comes with a black suede pouch (not shown) and the powder is encased in a heavy metal package embossed with Guerlain. It's beautiful for any woman's vanity but very prone to picking up fingerprints. Inevitably, the compact is much more travel friendly than the jar of pearls. The Guerlain Meteorites Compact is available in one shade for all skintones as it is a light powder that appears translucent when applied to the skin.
As previously mentioned, the Meteorites compact contains 6 different corrective and enhancing shades:
- pink // to refresh the complexion
- green // to diminish redness
- white // for a brighter complexion
- mauve // to catch the light
- gold and pearl // to add a perfect touch of radiance
It was impossible to pick up each of these colours individually. Blended together, the colours yield an iridescent golden-pearl glow with a touch of shimmer.
On the face, it's undetectable. Only with a 10x magnifying mirror would you be able to see traces of shimmer particles. Other than that, it adds what Guerlain refers to as an invisible beam of UV rays for soft-focus perfecting light. The product wears like a setting powder without making the face matte and simply adding a very, very subtle light-catching glow to the skin. The effect is lesser than that of a traditional highlighter and quite similar to that of the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders.
All in all, I'm on the fence about the subtle glow of the Guerlain Meteorites Compact in Mythic. It's beautiful, as is the packaging, but I'm still a little confused about it's merits as a setting powder and/or highlighter.
Have you ever tried Guerlain's Meteorites Pearls? Would you try it in compact form?
