Chanel Foundations Reviewed

​

​
Chanel Perfection Lumiere

Retails for: $86

SPF 10

Shade: 30 beige

Pro's

• This is a lightweight yet medium/buildable coverage foundation which is undetectable on the skin.
• Natural matte finish
• Easy to blend and apply - has a pump!
• I don't need to powder with this and it still lasts all day (I have normal/dry skin, please keep this in mind)

Con's

• It can oxidise depending on the primer or if I use no primer
• The price
• Colour range

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet

Retails for: $77

SPF 15

Shade: 20 beige

Pro's

• Light to medium coverage but also buildable
• Does not get cakey
• Last 8 hours (on me)
• Does not feel like I am wearing any makeup
• Velvet finish to the skin
• Can be undetectable
• Easy to blend

Con's

• Colour range
• It can also oxidise a bit. I recommend to go a shade lighter! Or try another primer - silicone primers prevent oxidising I have heard!

Overview

I enjoy wearing both these foundations specifically on special occasions as they were pricey. I already have a backup of the Lumiere Velvet as that is my favourite out of the two and never has disappointed me. I probably would not purchase Perfection Lumiere only because the slightly cheaper one works so well for my skin and I cannot afford to purchase both (student life). If you want to treat yourself and splurge on highend makeup I recommend checking out Chanel's range. The staff were so lovely and helpful and if you're unsure you can always get samples. To me these foundations are my go to when I need to go somewhere and need my foundation not to look too noticeable but still cover my imperfections as well as look good in photos.

I hope this review was helpful and you have a lovely night!
