Chanel Poudre Douce Soft Pressed Powder

I make no effort to hide my undying love for Chanel, but no one should ever pay $50 for a powder. Not even if it's the smoothest, silkiest (talc) powder they've ever used. Not even if it smells like roses and comes in a luxurious mirrored compact with a separate (somewhat inconvenient), soft brush. Not even if it covers minor imperfections (not lines), leaving a flawless half-shimmer, half-matte finish. Nope, no one should ever pay that much for instant gratification.

    UNIQUE POWER OF A HIGH-END POWDER

    by TheAsianVixen (9 reviews)
    I was very impressed to see the final outcome of this powder. It’s very subtle and yet gives you that coverage but does not tend to be cakey.

May 5, 2008, 10:26 pm I was very impressed to see the final outcome of this powder. It’s very subtle and yet gives you that coverage but does not tend to be cakey. It is very unique to the sense that it does not compare to any other powders out there. The result is very different, just glow of a professionally done makeup it seems. It’s certainly worth every buck. I think you get what you pay for with the high-end makeup. They say, why drive a KIA if you can drive a Lexus. I think this will be my regular finishing powder. It's fabulous! May 5, 2008, 10:26 pm

    A surprising holy grail powder

    by onepinktee (6 reviews)
    I would have never picked the Peche Tendre for myself, but a makeup artist used it while doing a makeover for me and it is a stunning product. The powder is so smooth and fine gives me just the slightest hint of color and doesn't get dry and leave my skin flaky. Never heavy or mask-like. This is one that I will happily repu...

The powder is so smooth and fine gives me just the slightest hint of color and doesn't get dry and leave my skin flaky. Never heavy or mask-like. This is one that I will happily repurchase again and again. February 17, 2008, 11:21 am

    Not for everyone!!

    by ggluck (3 reviews)
    I LOVE Chanel products, but their pressed powder is not recommended , in my opinion, for those of us over 30.

I much prefer their loose powder, which is light, and doesn't settle into those fine lines. Recently tried using this product again, and within several hours, did NOT like the look!! (even applied sparingly, powder is much heavier than the loose version) November 29, 2007, 10:25 am

    Great Coverage

    by rebadog (49 reviews)
    I really like this brand of pressed powder. I covers great and if you have oily skin it works awsome. It lasts a long time too! May 5, 2008, 8:30 am

    Never a disappointment with Chanel...

    by AmberLeigh (3 reviews)
    As with all Chanel products, this one rocks! It gives a subtle hint of color- more of a healthy looking glow. The colors are beautiful, too! November 12, 2007, 9:32 pm

    Perfect Powder! Really Brightens the Face!

    by amber8184 (5 reviews)
    This Powder really Brightens the Face and provides the perfect amount of coverage. I get compliments all the time. It is worth every penny! The shade Azalea is perfect for light skin tones. Another perfect product by Chanel. July 30, 2008, 7:49 am
