Guerlain Holographic Meteorites Highlighter Duo Review & Swatches

Holographic

Guerlain Holographic Meteorites Highlighter Duo ($62.00 for 0.31 oz.) is a new, limited edition highlighter duo featuring a warm pink and cool lavender. The formula seems more like the baked, gel-powder hybrid products that have been popular to launch, so they’ll have a denser, firmer consistency (no powderiness) and need a denser brush or moderate hand to pick up product–but it’s very, very blendable formula that applies and works well on cheeks. It was in stock a few days ago, but it appears to be gone at most online retailers. (International retailer John Lewis was the only one I found.)

Holographic (Left)

Holographic (Left) is a soft, sparkling pink with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. The sparkling bit seemed marginally more noticeable in person than in photos, but it didn’t read that glittery in person–more of a soft, lit-from-within kind of glow. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque pigmentation. The texture was dense, firm without being stiff, and blended out well on my skin without emphasizing my natural texture. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Holographic (Right)

Holographic (Right) is a lighter lavender with cool undertones and a lightly, metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer with a smooth, dense consistency that was firmer to the touch but not stiff or difficult to blend out on my skin. I used a moderately dense brush with it (nothing airy like a fan brush!), which picked up product well and deposited it evenly. It stayed on nicely for eight and a half hours before it started to show signs of wear.
