Heaven knows why, but there’re some things we can’t explain yes? Now, have YOU succumbed? 😀 If there’s one item I’m a little more than bonkers over, it’s these coloured powder balls. Did you grab the Aquarella Meteorites? Have you succumbed to the lure of the Guerlain Meteorites pearls yet? So if you’re interested, check this out at Sephora or at Guerlain counters. Here’s the catch though – I don’t know if this is still available but when I was last at Sephora, there was a substantial number of boxes with very little interest. I did notice that the Aquarella Meteorites is less “dusty” than Clair so I am wondering if they may have improved on the formula a touch. Who will like this: Anyone who is a fan of Meteorites powders
#Guerlain meteorites aquarella skin
Pros: Adds a soft luminous glow to skin, Gives skin a flattering smoothened effect with a touch of highlight So I prefer to wear Aquarella for the evenings, when the light is softer and you don’t looks like a character from Twilight. I don’t find it super shimmery, but it is quite noticeable especially in the sunlight. When you compare both Clair and Aquarella, you will notice that Aquarella contains markedly more shimmery balls, while Clair is a mixture of matte and shimmer balls of powder. It is similar in effect to Clair, which is permanent, but I find it to be more shimmery on skin.
The Guerlain Aquarella Meteorites Pearls are a limited edition tub of Meteorites that, like all Meteorites powders, infuse skin with a very subtle glow and luminance that I personally find very flattering. Whether you’ll like Aquarella depends on whether you like shimmer. It after all performs the same function, and on skin, looks the same as Clair, except more “glowy”. If you aren’t averse to having some shimmer and highlight on your skin, then Aquarella may suit you. So, if you want that radiant Guerlain Meteorites glow sans shimmer, then go for Clair. (Please ignore what looks like red balls in both tubs, they’re all pink, it’s shadow that’s turning the colour weird) If you compare the permanent shade 02 Clair (formerly Teint Rose) with Aquarella, you may notice how Aquarella appears to be the softer, more pastel, more shimmery version of Clair. Guerlain Meteorites Pearls Left: 02 Clair Right: Aquarella So, while it does give a lovely glow, it isn’t as subtle as it’s permanent cousin, Clair. There is noticeable glitter and shimmer on my skin especially in sunlight, and if I touch my hands to my face, it does come away with shimmer bits on it. However, I also find it to be among the more shimmery/glittery Meteorites out there.
I find that Aquarella Meteorites gives skin a very lovely radiant glow that is very noticeable, without too much paleness as I’d experienced with Perles du Dragon. So, the easiest way to use this is to use a brush, swirl it over the pearls and apply to the skin. While each colour is supposed to perform a different function to illuminate and infuse skin with radiance, it is quite futile even picking up colour individually, because it all blends seamlessly on the skin to a translucent glow. The last is the most interesting of all because I’ve never seen that shade in any of the tubs I own. I managed to identify 6 different shades of balls in the tub – a pearly white, a pearly champagne, a gold, a mint green, a light pink and a shimmery purple-grey.
