FAQs
What is the main purpose of Guerlain Meteorites Compact?
The Guerlain Meteorites Compact is designed to set makeup, provide a multidimensional matte finish, blur imperfections, and subtly correct and even out the complexion with its unique color harmony.
How do I apply the Meteorites Compact?
Using a soft powder brush, lightly sweep the powder over your entire face, focusing on areas that need setting or mattifying. The four colors in the compact blend together upon application.
Is the 01 Translucent shade suitable for all skin tones?
Shade 01 Translucent is specifically formulated for fair to light skin tones, featuring a balance of warm and cool tones to create a natural finish for this complexion range.
Can this powder be used without foundation?
Yes, it can be used on bare skin to provide a light mattifying effect and a subtle blurring of imperfections. However, its primary function is to set and finish makeup.
What does 'multidimensional matte finish' mean?
It means the matte finish is not flat. It retains a subtle luminosity and dimension, preventing the skin from looking dull or overly powdery, giving a more natural appearance.
How does this compact differ from the Météorites Pearls?
The compact is a pressed powder format, making it more convenient for travel and application, while the Météorites Pearls are loose powder spheres. Both offer setting and illuminating properties with the iconic Météorites blend.
What is the fragrance profile of the Meteorites Compact?
It is enriched with the iconic Météorites fragrance, which is a blend of violet with intoxicating notes of musky sandalwood and vanilla.
Troubleshooting
Powder appears chalky or too visible on the skin.
Ensure you are using a light hand and a fluffy brush. Avoid over-applying. Sweep lightly over the face rather than pressing. Try applying to specific areas that need mattifying or setting.
The powder breaks easily in the compact.
Handle the compact with care, especially when traveling. Avoid dropping it. If a small amount breaks, it can still be used, but handle gently to prevent further breakage.
The fragrance is overpowering.
If you are sensitive to fragrance, apply the powder sparingly and allow it to settle on the skin for a minute before applying other makeup. The scent typically dissipates slightly once applied.
Compacting isn't setting makeup effectively.
Ensure your foundation is already dry or set to some extent before applying the Meteorites Compact. For a more robust setting, consider a dedicated setting spray after applying the powder.

Care:
- Cleaning the Case: Wipe the exterior of the compact with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Powder Care: Keep the compact closed when not in use to protect the powder from drying out or becoming contaminated. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Brush Maintenance: Clean your powder brush regularly with a mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before using it with the Meteorites Compact. This ensures the best product application and hygiene.
