The Trifecta of Guerlain’s Meteorites: Teint Rose
Guerlain Teint Rose Meteorites Powder ($56.00 for 1.05 oz.) is the last of the three new, reformulated Meteorites powders we have to review. Previously, we reviewed Teint Beige and Teint Dore. These can be used as highlighters or all over the face–less for setting, more for an all over glow. Guerlain makes a Meteorites brush, but you can use any blush or highlighting brush to swirl in the pot for application.
According to Guerlain…
Harmony 01 / Teint Rose corrects by using mauve to reflect light and brightening the complexion along with green to reduce redness; pink to give skin a more even look; and white for illumination, gold for “radiance.”
This particular Meteorite has a blend of champage, white, yellow, green, pink, and purple pearls that create a soft, subtle micro-shimmered glow. It’s a very silky and finely-milled product–this is not powdery, heavy, or cakey. It doesn’t feel heavy, and it never looks unnatural.
Admittedly, it is difficult to see the nuances between the three Meteorites. Even in person, they don’t look terribly different on me when applied. Teint Rose is less golden, more white/champagne shimmer, while Teint Dore is a little more golden-bronze, and Teint Beige is is still a bit bronze but less yellow. After seeing all three in person, I think any one of them would be appropriate across skin tones and undertones. They effect they have is so subtle, I can’t imagine any looking bad because of skin tone.
Still loving the totally upgraded Meteorites packaging, too!

Recommendation: It’s always nice to see a brand maintain or improve a product, particularly when they’re changing such a cult favorite! If you already have the previous versions of Meteorites, you may find this shade redundant, but if you don’t yet have Meteorites in your stash, you should take a gander next time you’re at a Guerlain counter.

I think this product is so beautiful. I'm NW20, should I buy Teint Rose or Teint Dore? I think Teint Rose might be better for pink undertones but Teint Dore is more unique, I'm just afraid it looks too "bronzed" for me. It's winter, I don't want to look like I'm tanned.
Probably Teint Rose :)
I am a little confused :/ I thought this was a review for Teint Rose but the caption under the picture of the product on your face says, "Effect of BEIGE TINT." I just wanted to make sure the rose is the one we're looking at because it looks absolutely GORGEOUS on you.
It is a review for Teint Rose - the picture of me wearing this product is the shade Beige Tint, so you can see the glowiness. I don't always do cheek swatches, sorry!
I'm so jealous of how gorgeous you look here!!!
I really see it. Your face looks radiant and it suits you so well!
These are so beautiful. It's like they were handcrafted by GOD himself. I think the heavens opened up and sent down Guerlain Meteorites. I ues this everyday and people think I'm an angel. Go out and get this if you want to look like a little baby cherub. It's worth every penny. I hate cheap stuff.
note sure if i commented on this post previously...very pretty pic! your skin looks radiant! i think i might go check these out sometime soon! i guess it'll be my first guerlain product! do you know what might be a good one to try for nw40? also, you don't happen to remember what else you are wearing in this pic?
Christine, I absolutely love everything about your look in this photo!! Every color you're wearing (makeup and clothing) is incredibly flattering on you. Gorgeous! :)
Ahh Christine! This pic is so pretty of you!
This looks like it would last a long time (product wise), and I can see the glow. x; If I had some extra money to spend, I'd really love this.
OMG you look so beautiful. I love your lip color. What is it? I want this to be my holiday look. I just discovered you on YouTube and reviews from Sephora. I can't wait to start coming here daily for inspiration.
I have been eying this one and the illuminating pressed powder version in Mythic Parfait. I am told both give you a nice glow. Have you tried the pressed powder version? One advantage of the one that comes in a compact is that I can take it to work and touch up if I wanted. I have been looking at this for a couple yrs but still have not decided. I do notice a glow in the picture, especially when compared to other pics you have up w/o it. I just can't decide between the two... :(
I can see you use the MAC 165 brush for applying meteorites, but I haven't got a 165, and it's LE. Which brush, from MACs permanent line, can you recommend for applying meteorites?
138! or the 116.
Hi Christine! i need some advices here.. I'm asian fair skin w/yellow undertones.. which shade should I go for? Teint Rose, Teint Beige, or Teint dore? and which of em are less glittery cause I'd like to wear it as an all-over face powder.... btw, anykind of lipsticks always looks good on u it makes me envy ;) much appreciate for ur reply
None of them are glittery, and I'd suggest Teint Dore.
I love the whole look you are wearing, it looks fantastic! So glad they changed the meteorites packaging :)
Thanks, Kelly!
Thanks for the review, I'm gonna buy this product now! Your skin looks very fresh with it, and all the makeup suits you well (eyes & lips). You look gorgeous! :)
Thank ya, Kate!
I have wondered about these for a while, and based on your review and wonderful photo, I think I will fall off my wallet and get one. Probably Teint Rose since I am NC15/NW15. The smell sounds intriguing too!
I can definitely see the subtle glow on your face! It looks really gorgeous. Too bad I'm broke, lol!
The look you're wearing here looks great on you! I need a play-by-play. ;) Thanks, Christine! For making my shopping so easy for a few years now.
Thanks, Mari!
Christine, how do the Meteorites compare to Dior's SkinShimmers? Which do you like better?
Meteorites can be worn all over, Dior's SkinShimmers are best to highlight certain areas. Since I use a different setting powder, I don't always reach for Meteorites. I'd say I use Dior's more.
Totally getting this.
I think it looks really good! And I also love the packaging, but it's a bit pricey. What stores sell this? Do you think it has too much shimmer for an all over the face look?
Sephora & Nordstrom for sure for me. I know Sephora carries Guerlain, and Guerlain counters, which can be found in Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, etc. Nope, not at all!
I bought it just for the packaging, I have to admit ! But I fell in love with the product after a couple of uses. It gives me a nice flash of light on the cheeks, I love it
I have swatched, not tried on face at Sephora. It appears shimmery to me. Like Sparkly...I don't know if its sparkle transfered frm other products...My first impression was, its not something I cud apply all over the face...
Sephora is notorious for cross contamination of products--especially true for things that are glittery. If you can, go to a Guerlain counter and test the pearls. There is nothing sparkly or glittery about their glow and they are perfectly suited to all-over application. And, as Sofia mentioned a few comments above, they last forever so they really are very cost effective.
Is that white glowyness on your skint he effects from it? Whoah, i see it
Yes!
Wow Christine, you look great with this look!! The lips, the eyes, the cheeks... it suits your complexion so good! Othen than that, you convinced me to try out these meteorites! I already tried Mythic but that one was too shimmery for my taste, and not subtle enough... I really hope these new shades will end up looking more natural!
Thank you so much, Lily! :)
wow! you look gorgeous! <3
Thanks, Moni!
Oh I lovve this shimmer and the amount of product is good !
awww u look amazing!!!! def going to be purchasing this item.. it gives you such a beautiful glow! love it..!
Thank you, Michelle!
Okay feel dumb for asking this but how are they used/applied?
Dip your brush into it and swirl :)
I was actually just playing with these at Sephora the other day. I agree with you Christine that it's really hard to photograph the effect it gives. For me, it gave me a very subtle sparkle effect. Almost like very tiny glitter everywhere. I agree that it was silky smooth and not powdery at all. However, for the price I had to pass because I think you can get a similar effect with other products for less money.
I think they're worth it (price-wise), since they *will* last for a very, very long time, but they are a pricey investment. At least for the price, they don't gip you on quantity!
As a very pale chickee (think NC15) these meteorites basically enhance my paleness in a beautiful, attractive way. They basically make my face glow. Yes. GLOW. They're beautiful, and I can really tell a difference. I think that's the point of the meteorites, and putting the teint rose on someone who is obviously tanned defeats the purpose of the teint rose meteorites, I think, as it is meant to make pale skin glow. That's my opinion, anyway.
Wow. I have to admit I had zero interest in these before and never understood the hype until now. That packaging is to die for and I think that is one of the most beautiful pics of you I've seen. I'm sold!!
your skin looks flawless, just purchased this.. LOVE IT!
Glad you love it, Carolynn! Thanks!
