Great foundation with one BIG problem...

Foundation is the one item above all other makeup that I'm willing to splurge on...that is, if it's different from anything else and produces amazing results. I had never tried out chanel makeup before (it's waaay too expensive), but I was on the hunt for a new foundation for everyday wear, that wasn't too heavy, or makeup-y looking (if that makes sense). Since the foundation is water-based, it fe...read moreels amazingly hydrating on the skin. The formula is almost gel-like and is very easy to apply and blend. The coverage is light, but I loved the way it end effect is that you look like you have perfected skin, rather than you're wearing a good foundation. I loved the light scent to this (kind of floral-y)! The color range is not great, but because the foundation is sheer, several different skin tones can wear one of the shades and get away with it. Upon first application I absolutely loved this, I was thinking "holy grail" for sure! Sadly, if I wore this foundation for more than 4 hours or so, it oxidized horribly!!! I'm talking oompah loompah face. It looked even worse when I was in the sun. I went back to the counter and exchanged for a lighter shade, and unfortunately experienced the same results. Do your online research; many other users experienced the same thing. It could have been a combination of the type of moisturizer or setting powder I used, but for near $50 for a foundation, I shouldn't have to play "guess and check" with the rest of my makeup to see if the foundation "plays nicely with others". I returned the product and am currently back to the drawing board. :(

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua

This is amazing,matches my skin tone perfectly which is quite difficult given i am quite pale. It feels as though you are wearing a moisturising cream. It makes your face look bright and hydrated, I will never use another foundation other then this, love it.

CHANEL vitalumiere aqua Beige 30

If you are looking for a light, buildable coverage that feels amazing and only looks better as the night goes on, then this is for you. A more reasonably priced CHANEL foundation, at 45 dollars it exceeds all expectations. I gave it 8 stars because it had to settle on my face for a bit before I realized how beautiful it actually was. The coverage that I need is minimal to light, so it was perfect ...read morewith one layer. It did not hide my freckles-which I love, and I could not feel it on my skin t all. I was using Lancome Teint Idol but for 7 dollars more its worth the change. Light enough and cheap enough (for CHANEL) to wear everyday. Comparable to Armani Silk.
