So for my very first post ive decided to add a review of a new foundation I picked up at the weekend. It is'Vitalumiere Aqua' by Chanel. This is my first purchase of any foundation by Chanel and I have to say im impressed. I am the type of girl that usually loves a good medium to full coverage foundation that is matt, as the idea of 'dewy' insatntly in my mind means oily and greese and I hate to see that on my skin.
However I have recently been swayed by the cosmetics worlds push on natural glowy and luminous barely there make up and decided to brave it using new textures and formulas that perfect your own natural skin.
This is a gorgeous foundation that has just the right amount of dewniness for me without having to add any powder on top. It gives a good coverage without it looking heavy and the colour matching is pretty good. To apply I use a good quality stippling foundation brush to reallly blend the product into my skin. Its not the longest lasting foundation, however it does not slip off the skin within an hour or so as most light makeup formulas do for me, it lasts a good working day. I would say that I have combination skin so I cant really comment on how this would look on dry skin or oily skin but I have heard that the the original Vitalumiere is better suited to dryer more mature skin types. As for its price its expensive coming in at £31, which is a lot for a foundation but the service that I recieved from my local Chanel counter was brilliant. The lady I originally went to see to enquire straight away insited I have a sample before buying and was not pushy in the slightest. When it came to acatually buying it the girl that served me was lovely and again not at all pushy and was happy to show me any other products I was curious about from Chanel. So overall I am vey happy with my latest beauty purchase and shall keep you posted if I get to try anymore form Chanel!
Tata for now
