Guerlain Meteorites Perles D'Azur by Emilio Pucci

For this summer, Guerlaine teamed up with Italian fashion house Emilio Pucci to create the Terra Azzurra collection. Taking inspiration from the Italian Riviera, the collection features a signature Pucci print, “Winter Capri". This is actually the second collaboration between Guerlain and Pucci. The first was in summer 2007 for a pink-themed collection (see the first Pucci Meteorites on MakeupAlley).

When swirled together, the Terra Azzurra Powder and Blush is a light brown. The two strips of peach and pink have sufficient color payoff to be used individually as blushes.

The Ecrin 4 Couleurs in Capri looks pretty but I think this can be duped with the Too Faced Summer Eye Palette. Perilously Pale has reviewed the Capri quad.

The collection also includes three lipglosses and two nail polishes in electric indigo blue and coral hues. The blue gloss is highly translucent and darkens the lip color just slightly.

The only item that appealed to me was the Meteorites in Perles D'Azur. The accompanying powder brush with blue bristles is a scratchy dud and totally not worth the price.


I'm glad that Guerlain has switched from the cardboard pots to a much classier metal packaging. With the prices that Guerlain charges, one simply expects sleeker packaging than mere cardboard.

The Meteorite balls comes in a muted blue and pink to correct yellow tones; beige and orange for a warm healthy glow; and pearlish ivory and white-gold to add radiance. Beauty Reflections has swatches of the individual shades while Blondy Candy has a breakdown of the shades in her pot.



Below is a heavy swatch, taken under a spot light so the shimmers show up more obviously than they do under normal daylight. When applied lightly all over the face, the effect is much more subtle and the tiny shimmer particles are obvious only if you look very closely.

The Meteorites are meant to be used as a finishing powder for a polished effect and very subtle glow. If you already own several Meteorites, you probably do not need this as the applied effect is quite similar to other Meteorites. I purchased this more for my collection and the special Pucci theme. With a generous 30g of product, a pot of Meteorites can last years with daily usage.

Below is my current collection:
Top - Butterfly Pearls (Holiday 2008)
Middle - Perles D'Azur (Summer 2012) and Perles de Nuit (Holiday 2011)
Bottom - Pearly White (Spring 2009), Perles D'Or (Holiday 2010) and Perles Imperiales (Holiday 2009).
