Review: Guerlain Météorites Teint Powder Compact

Hey guys

Todays post is a review of Guerlain Météorites Teint Powder Compact

that was sent to me by the lovely people at Debenhams

and a bit of a fotd while we are at it :)

I've wanted to try any of the Guerlain meteorites poweders for so so long.

I remember my Nan having the Voyage compact when I was little and I always admired it!

It comes in a lovely little velvet pouch

and as it's the compact rather than the loose powder/balls its super easy to take with you places.

The packaging is really cute,

the pattern is classic Guerlain but with a modern twist

obviously it's not as luxurious as the Voyage compact,

but it still feels really good quality.

I chose shade 01 Rose as I am super pale,

and it's perfect for my skin tone.

As you can see I've worn down the pattern, as I've used it pretty much every day for 3 weeks

so it's had a thorough test!

Here is a swatch,

on bare skin there is not really a lot to see,

it's pale skin toned, with an ever so slight shimmer.

It it more matte than I had imagined, 

especially compared to the meteorites shimmer balls I've tried.

I really like the combo of mainly matte with a tiny bit of shimmer

as it works really well to set your foundation,

giving you a finish that is slightly glowy without being glittery or too shimmery.

Here is what it looks like on, on top of my foundation with some bronzer aswell.

I used it all over my face with my kabuki, adding a little extra on my eye bags!

It only has a very slight colour but it works fantastically well in comination with your foundation

to create a flawless look.

Make-Up:

Benefit That Gal as my primer

Lancome Tient Idole 24H foundation in shade 005 (palest)

mixed with a little of Maybelline's bb cream in light

with a squirt of Mac strobe liquid

 (to make the Lancome foundation less high coverage and a little more glowy)

I used the Guerlain Météorites Compact Teint Powder Compact in shade Rose

to set and finish my foundation

With the Mac Wonderwoman Mineralise Skin finish in Pink Power as Bronzer

For my eyes I used the Soap and Glory Eyeshadow quad in  brown/neutral

a Brown no 7 eyeliner
and a miniature Clinique mascara

On my lips I used a Clinique chubby stick in Oversized Orange

Overall I'm really pleased with the product,

It works really well, and I would choose it over anything else I own to set my foundation.

The smell is quite strong, but I like it 

(but it is something to consider if you are funny about that kind of thing)

It's quite pricey but I think it's worth the money

especially if you can ask for it as a birthday / Christmas present.

Have you tried any of the Guerlain Compacts?
