(photo courtesy:covergirl.com)Guerlains' compact comes with a cream to powder foundation and a concealer while Cover Girl compact is stored alone in a blue bulky case.
Sunscreen
Gurlain contains spf 20 while Cover Girl has spf 15 in it.
Shade
I bought Guerlain's compact in shade beige clair (which is the lightest shade available here). It is not a very light shade since it's darker than my Cover girl compact in classic ivory. Beige clair has a pink undertone to it, which is not a very good match for my yellow undertoned skin.
Covergirl in classic ivory is a really good match for my nc 20 skin.
Texture
Both of them are very creamy and moisturizing on the skin.
Application
Both of them are easy to apply and there's no method required to blend them evenly on my skin. I apply them with my finger and they both look beautiful on the skin. A little goes a long way! However I have to apply more layers of Guerlain compact foundation than Cover girl aquasmooth compact to achieve the same coverage
Coverage
Both of them are above medium coverage. They have the potential to be full coverage. However I do find covergirl offers better coverage than Gurlain.
Staying power
I do feel Cover Girl has a better staying power. After 4 hours Cover girl is still the same like I just applied; Gurlain transfers a little bit and spreads.
Finish
Both of them gives the most beautiful finish! I do not set them with any powder on top. They all give me flawless skin with beautiful youth glow look.
OVERALL, I feel Cover Girl Aquasmooth Compact is definitely better than Guerlain. Covergirl is a lot cheaper and offers better coverage with longer staying power. Cover Girl also gives more products than Gurlain. Though Gurlain includes a concealer with this compact, I do not feel the concealer works better than my other concealers.
