After
reading www.agirlandabeautyblog.com trying out the new Chanel foundation and
not being too impressed I thought I would give it ago myself. I've
always wanted to try their Pro Lumiere and Mat Lumiere
foundations but just never got round to doing so. I
went along to my Chanel counter and the very nice SA gave me two
samples. One in 20 Beige and the second in 22 Beige Rose. I decided I
would give 20 Beige a go first.
The SA describe it as a yellow based foundation. When I first put abit
on the
back on my hand I thought that maybe it seemed abit too yellow
for me. But I thought I would give it a go. The first thing I thought
when I put it on my face was how nice it smelt. The fragrance is
lovely. It blended well but the only thing I would say is that it
just seemed abit chalky once applied to my face. I don't think this
would be good for people with dry skin. I have abit of dry skin at
the mo round my nose and it seem to highlight this more. Apart from
that I pretty happy with the final finish.
At lunch time I went and checked in the mirror to see how my
foundation was looking and it was wasn't good. My foundation seems to
have disappeared!! My nose was shiny and the rest of face looked
like I wasn't wearing any Make-up. I wasn't happy. Although I liked
the initial look of the foundation when I first applied it I don't
think I will rushing out to my local Chanel counter and spending £35
on a bottle on this foundation. I am gonna try the 22 Beige Rose to
see how this holds up. You never know I might be changing my mind
about buying this foundation at the end of the week if all goes well
Look out for my other review soon.
