Guerlain Météorites Setting & Finishing Pearls of Powder
Nineteen eighty seven, and still nobody has made a second one. The idea is that the correction happens in the mix rather than in the formula: four tinted pearls picked up together on a brush, so the colours cancel each other on the way to your face. Everything since has been a pressed powder trying to do it in one shade.
Price and availability are set by Nordstrom.
