Météorites Perles du Dragon by Guerlain

October 24, 2012

The legendary Météorites have been reinvented in two luxurious limited-edition versions. In this Year of the Dragon, they have been christened Perles du Dragon and Wulong – meaning “black dragon”. They pay tribute to this mythical animal, a symbol of the emperor of China, whose primary source of power lay in a pearl, synonymous with happiness, wisdom and abundance.

Météorites Perles du Dragon, expresses a harmony of six shades of beads in an intense, iridescent monochrome palette that is perfectly tailored to the holiday season. Like nighttime jewels, it cloaks the face in incredible radiance: pale pink and beige to even out the complexion, white and gold to illuminate, plum and rosewood to brighten areas of shadow and erase fatigue as the night goes on. Its famous metal case, also embossed in black, is stamped with a golden rosette on its lid and bears the Guerlain signature.

 

 

 

 

Météorites Wulong, travel pressed powder also combines six shades to ensure a pure, flawless and luminous complexion irrespective of skin tone. Matte shades – three light, medium and golden beiges to even out the complexion, and a pink to refresh and revive – are paired with two white and gold illuminating shades that enter the scene to add subtle radiance.
Like a jewel from the roaring twenties, the delicate black metal powder compact is sculpted with a gold mother-of-pearl rosette. A black suedette pouch bordered with red stitching allows it to be slipped into a pocket or bag.
