I’d not been paying a lot of attention to many new and seasonal makeup releases for a while, so I actually had no idea that a new tub of Guerlain Meteorites had emerged on the scene. It wasn’t until I spotted it on Instagram that I felt a faint stirring of interest.<\/p>\n

When I see the words “limited edition” and “Meteorites” together in one sentence, my first instinct is to run out the door for the nearest Guerlain counter and throw wads of\u00a0money at them. This time, I didn’t actually stroll out to view this newest addition until a little while later. Goodness gracious. Am I losing my touch?<\/p>\n

I think though, it’s mostly because it didn’t look too special or different or unique. Unlike the Pucci Meteorites<\/a> from a couple of years back, I didn’t see bright blue balls staring at me, that piqued my interest. (Yes, I know you know what I did there! \ud83d\ude09 ) Unlike the unique packaging of Perles d’Etoiles<\/a>\u00a0or Perles de Nuit<\/a>, I didn’t see a unique packaging that made me want to add it to my collection.<\/p>\n

So, since I’m not jumping up and down with excitement about these Guerlain Meteorites Rainbow\u00a0Pearls<\/strong>, should you be?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Good question.<\/p>\n

Before I answer that, I’ve been asked how different the Rainbow Pearls are from the regular permanent range. The truth is that it’s not very different.<\/p>\n

For me, Guerlain Meteorites powders serve\u00a0a function as a finishing powder. I dust it on all over my face at the end of my base routine, and it sets everything and gives my skin a glow that has thus far, been quite unrivalled by any other product I’ve used (well, except maybe for the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders but I’ll deal with those separately) . I love these, for the function they serve. But for the most part for me, with a few exceptions, every tub looks the same on me.<\/p>\n

It’s all imperceptible. The only one that looks noticeably more pigmented on my skin is Dore, which I use as a very faint bronzer, whenever I feel like it.\u00a0Sometimes, the shades may make my skin look a touch lighter, sometimes a touch warmer. It’s imperceptible to anyone but me, and it helps me adjust my foundations accordingly.<\/p>\n

Rainbow Pearls fall into the “touch warmer” category. I won’t say they are warm toned because once you blend the\u00a0powders and apply it to your skin, you can’t really tell if there’s any colour on your skin. I found Aquarella<\/a> a little light so Rainbow is a nice balance.<\/p>\n

The shades of the balls in Rainbow do look quite deep. There’s bronze, champagne, yellow, mint green, red and white powder balls in there but don’t worry too much about the colours coming off too strong on your skin. Unless you are Snow White, it’ll just come off transparent. But the champage and bronze powders do serve to add a touch of warmth to the skin which makes it look more natural.\u00a0In that sense, I find this a little similar to Pucci Meteorites, which I found to be a little warm.<\/p>\n

So, should you be excited about the Rainbow Pearls?<\/p>\n
