Guerlain Meteorites CC Glow Colour Correcting Highlighter Review

Do you love Guerlain Meteorites as much as I do?

Well, it's not that type that I can't live without, but it's the type of product that makes you smile and happy whenever you see it on the dresser and gives you the natural high whenever it touches your face.

That must be the "luxe" feel that you're looking for on days you feel like nothing is turning out right!  

This product, the Guerlain Meteorites CC Glow Colour Correcting Highlighter is part of the Spring 2018 collection from the brand.  Remember the recent post I wrote on the Guerlain Meteorites Heart Shape Palette?  Well, it comes as part of a COLLECTION.

This Colour Correcting Highlighter comes with sisters, there are 3 shades in total --- Green, Pink and Apricot.  And I went for the latter because I like to brighten up key areas of my face with just a twist from this cute pen!

Météorites CC Glow products from Guerlain are colour correctors that target and correct skin tone imperfections while offering a radiant and rejuvenating effect.

Based on the principle of colorimetry – two complementary colours cancel each other out when they are layered – Guerlain has developed three complexion correctors capable of effectively neutralising minor skin tone flaws: dark circles, dark spots or redness.

Each colour has a specific correcting property: green helps to neutralise redness, pink refreshes dull complexions, while apricot helps to erase areas of shadow and minor dark spots and offset the colour blue to counter dark circles.

Apricot shade

To help erase areas of shadow and minor dark spots 

and offset the color blue to counter dark circles.

So yes, this was purchased especially for the undereye area!  

Swatch: Apricot

Keep in mind that the shade Apricot is light but with peach/salmon undertone.  It won't cover up extremely dark undereye circles like what we expect on most concealers!  This is a "corrector" so it just counteract certain shades at a certain extent.  I actually like to use this ON TOP of my favorite undereye concealer.

WHY?  Because most concealers tend to be matte in effect and drying at some point,  this nifty pen-like product has moisture and extra color as a perfect "highlighter" and retouch corrector that can be applied midday!

If you think this is priced too highly just to "highlight" the undereye area, well this product can also be applied to the lip contour and other parts of your face where you want to erase shadowy areas that makes your overall appearance look dull.

Why is this pricey? well, you are paying for the feel the texture and the hydration it gives on your undereye area.  It is like applying skincare product with added bonus of highlighting the said spot.

Before and After

I felt like on photos, it doesn't show up much but I like how I get more compliments whenever I'm wearing this. I look like I have better sleep and enough rest. That said, it is the price I'm willing to pay to look fresh and on top of my game whenever I meet clients.

AMW Bloopers: Guys, the photo was attached the other way around!  Left is after, right is before!

Is this product a NEED?

I personally think it's not, if you can get away with your usual correctors and concealers, this could just be an added bonus.  And maybe, if you are someone like me who doesn't spend much on other makeup products like Foundation (since I don't wear them daily), I focus on investing on products that I really use! 

That said, this can be a good investment but you can also skip this if you don't have issues on color correcting your facial features :D

Guerlain Météorites Heart Shape Palette is available at Rustans Beauty Source price around Php1,000-2,000 (again, forgot the exact price I'm sorry!)

How do you feel about the newest Spring 2018 collection from the brand?

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!
