FYI, I've created a separate thread for the Guerlain Summer 2014 collection, including the new Rouge G lipsticks!

The 2 Guerlain powders are gorgeous, a celebration of the Terracota ( 1984 ), thank you for sharing ! I will purchase both, they are truly beautiful.

It's very pretty! I've not yet ventured into Guerlain lipsticks. Is there an orange shade that you would recommend?
Gypsy (#41) is a beautiful warmer orange with gold shimmer. I think of it as more of an autumn orange, a bit browned, muted... very pumpkin-like.

Genna (#28) is a bright red-orange. Depending on your skin tone, it might pull more orange or more red, but on its own, it's pretty much dead in the centre. This one seems more like a "spring orange"- juicy and clear and saturated.

There's a new orange (Geneva) with the shades that are being released for summer. I don't know how much different it is than Genna, but it looks a bit more orange and just a little less opaque.

Here's photos of Gypsy and Genna on me. That might not help in terms of the skin tone, since we're quite different in that regard, but it'll at least give you a sense of the shades.

If Gipsy was like that on me, I would get it right away! I keep seeing photos where it looks brighter though like on Temptalia: http://www.temptalia.com/the-summer-season-guerlain-gipsy-rouge-g-lipstick.

Thank you so, so much. If they'll make me look as sultry as you, I'm on them right away!!! Genna looks like it's right up my alley

I honestly wouldn't bother with her swatches, nothing ever looks the same on me or in reality as in her swatches. Not being a hater, just saying.

Well, I agree. I have just applied Formula X np in Photoelectric, it's much much brighter here IRL but maybe it's due to her computer, she does such a great job swatching so many products a year. It is true Photolectric doesn't look the same on the website, I do think it's a question of software or something.

No, I understand. I have seen other swatches where is looks almost brown and others where it looks bright like T (not just her) so I guess that is one to buy in the store.

It's very good ( violet scented ), I would recommand it. The Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre is great ( maybe better ) but les Voilettes is worth buying too.
