Guerlain Meteorites Cruel Gardenia

The idea of a shine that glimmers rather than sparkles is as ideal as it is hard to achieve, although that hasn’t stopped Guerlain from giving it the old college try. 

ts new Météorites Cruel Gardenia Illuminating Iridescent Powder packs the power of its classically loose météorite pearls into a flower-embossed rosette that features hints of lavender, dusty rose, silver, and gold. Applied all over the face with a large brush as a veil of luminosity or in concentrated doses, like along the tops of cheekbones or on the cupid’s bow of lips, it offers up the ideal amount of cool colored light to perfectly highlight facial contours. That its illustrated black lacquer case is a boon to any well-equipped vanity certainly doesn’t hurt either.
