GUERLAIN METEORITES COMPACT LIGHT REVEALING POWDER

February 12, 2019

I never thought that i would love a powder compact, but when i got my hands on Guerlain, i knew that this baby is not only esthetically pleasing but also good for easy touch-ups.

The result? Tiny glitters on my face.

The purpose of the compact is for color-correcting, i'm using it as the last step of my make-up routine.
