I bought Claire, but I really like the way Medium looks in the pan, and when I swatched it with my hand it didn't appear too dark. I even thought Dore might work as a very, very subtle bronzer on my fair skin. However, if Medium is too dark on you, it will most likely be too dark on me because I'm around NC10/15. :)Christinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-83694746941300786802015-01-29T22:37:31.723+01:002015-01-29T22:37:31.723+01:00Hi Eileen,

I have also written above once sheered out, you don't see that it is shimmery but there is a difference between this one and Wulong on the face if you look carefully. I think #03 Medium was a wrong choice for my now even a little under NC20 complexion. It is a little too warm and it doesn't have the rose I need to brighten up my dull complexion. Instead it warms it up but I am not sure if I needed that so much. <br /><br />I also agree completely on the portability issue, this one is very practical to take away, the others are a bit heavy. I don't reapply powder throughout the day though, so this aspect will be helpful only when I travel.

If she had swatched it the way it would normally be applied, you wouldn't see it! LOL Météorites are finishing powders and are normally applied as a very light veil of powder to illuminate the complexion and tie everything together. If someone looks frosty, it is because they've selected the wrong shade or they're applying it way too heavily. BTW, I'm NC15 and 02 Clair is perfect on me.<br /><br />I'm a huge fan of the Météorites pearls but I also have the two compacts--Wulong (my fave) and Voyage--for those times when I know I'll need to touch up at some point. Both are beautiful powders but the cases are quite heavy and can really weight down a purse! It's ironic that Voyage was originally marketed as a travel option because it is not really travel friendly from the standpoint of weight. Anyway, I bought the new compact specifically for travel and have been very pleased with it. Yes, the case is plastic, but it is not flimsy, and the lighter weight is a definite plus when it comes time to toss it in a purse or carry on. The three compact shades correspond to the three pearl shades that were released last year. I wear 02 Clair in both the compact and the pearls.<br /><br />Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-83914923068834337762015-01-29T18:57:22.245+01:002015-01-29T18:57:22.245+01:00I think they just look different on everyone.

Guerlain Aquarella is in my opinion more shimmery. Even the standard loose version is in my opinion little bit more shimmery (I have Medium and Clair from previous edition).<br />I think the packaging is ok, I really like how it looks now, I didn't know it's plastic tho, because when I hold it it's quite heavy, but still I think for the price it's not so bad. It's just a little bit differend than the old one was, so maybe we just got used to the old design?AddictedToMakeuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02597544424321351465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-70553247828863311902015-01-29T18:50:43.187+01:002015-01-29T18:50:43.187+01:00I was looking forward to your review of this ever ...I was looking forward to your review of this ever since I saw you had it!

When I use my brush, it produces a similar effect as my loose ones do. When I swatch the pressed ones with my finger, they do look a tad light and opaque, but thankfully they don't look that with a brush.<br /><br />I know what you mean, though. I'm not completely in love with my compact and don't find it easier to use than the loose version. It's just easier to travel with, but that happens only a few times a year. All in all, I still like my loose ones more (love the sound the balls make when they tap against each other) and completely regret not buying the Wulong!Christinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-91190824257212849102015-01-29T15:10:56.636+01:002015-01-29T15:10:56.636+01:00Didnt realize the case was plastic!
