💡 Tip
Charlotte used a tiny brush, almost the size of a lip brush or fine detail brush (1:14). This ensures the shimmer is concentrated exactly where you want it.

Wearable Depth: Charlotte used the darker brown shade to line my lash line (1:34), creating a look that’s defined but much softer than a traditional liquid liner—a great tip for everyday wear!
Molten Metallics: The palette features a mix of metals, silver and gold. I initially wondered how to use them together (1:05), but the application of the tiny pop of silver in the inner corner (1:13) literally opens up the eye and adds a beautiful, soft finishing touch (1:16, 1:19), proving that these shades work in perfect harmony!
Easy to Build: As I mentioned in the video, the pigments are so easy to build (1:32), which speaks to the high-quality, expert-driven formulation of this quad.
2. The Complexion: Softened and Amplified Radiance
The goal of the 'Tale of Wonders' theme is luminous, radiant skin, and these two products delivered it flawlessly.
Guerlain Meteorites Light-Revealing Pearls of Powder in Midnight Glow (Christmas Edition): In the video (0:40, 1:40), you can see Charlotte applying these iconic pearls. As I mentioned in the blog, these pearls cast a soft, golden veil and achieve a light-revealing, blurring finish. I noted how this powder literally watches as it softens my skin (1:46)—it truly gives that beautiful, perfected finish without looking heavy.
Guerlain Terracotta Luminiser Powder in Rosy Gleam (Christmas Edition): This was an instant favourite for me (2:38)! My blog post described it as a shimmering powder that catches the light with an incandescent, rosy warmth, and you can see exactly that effect being applied to the high points of my cheeks and face (2:37, 2:50). It’s an absolutely stunning glow that amplifies the overall look (1:57, 2:46).
😍 Instead of sweeping the Météorites in Midnight Glow all over, use a large, soft brush and only press them onto the centre of your face: the forehead, chin, and directly above the jawline. This draws light to the central areas and keeps the periphery slightly softer, creating a natural, diffused look that matches the light-revealing, blurring finish.
3. The Lips: Nude Perfection in a Gilded Case
For the lips, we focused on the creamy satin and the liquid-glass shine.
Rouge G Satin Lipstick in 306 Le Nude Songe: I confessed in the video (2:04) that I’m typically a nude girl, and this dusky allure shade (1:59) is just obsessed! I loved how it complemented the tone of the eye shadow (2:11), confirming that this new shade is a perfect, sophisticated nude for the festive season. The case, of course, features the dazzling, origami-inspired stellar design.
KissKiss Bee Glow Oil in 429 Sparkling Rosewood: The lip oil, which offers a liquid-glass sheen and 24-hour hydration, was used as a beautiful finishing touch (2:17). The fact that this edition has a slight shimmer (2:23) means you can switch it up for Christmas (2:25), amplifying the glow and the spark of the whole look (2:30).
To get that liquid-glass sheen (as promised by the Bee Glow Oil) without the sticky feel, try this:
Apply your Rouge G Satin Lipstick (like 877 Le Rouge Étoilé or 306 Le Nude Songe) first for rich color and longevity.
Blot gently with a tissue.
Then, apply the KissKiss Bee Glow Oil (in Sparkling Peach or Sparkling Rosewood) only to the very centre of the lips. This creates a focused, amplified shine that makes your lips look instantly plumper (2:28).
