Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation
Everyday Makeup Staple
This product is just amazing. So incredibly natural and light because of the watery texture, it makes it really easy to use everyday. My pores tend to clog quite quickly so I know right away what products I can and cannot use on a daily bases, but I can use this foundation 7 days a week without clogged pores or breakouts. The coverage is quite sheer, but it evens out my skintone as if it really were my natural skin. It gives off a gorgeous, slightly dewy look, so if you have overly oily skin, I would say skip this even though it is water based. I do still have to use concealer over it, but not nearly as heavily. Oh and the smell is HEAVENLY!
The only thing you should be aware of is if you have dry, flaky skin it'll show because of the light and sheer texture. I noticed in the winter months I had to make sure I was well moisturized on my skin because it tended to exacerbate any flakiness or dryness.
fabulous
I've purchased ONE bottle and it has lasted over a year, and I still have a ton of it left. Sheer, dewy, gorgeous finish. You can get more coverage if you keep adding to it. I use this with Chanel's Longwear Concealer and people never think I have makeup on. It's also super hydrating for my dry skin and never flakes. Just remember to shake the bottle before using!
My Favorite Foundation Ever!
I'm obsessed with this stuff. While it's WAY expensive, for me, it's WAY worth it. The finish is very natural looking, not too dewy and not to matte. It's very lightweight, but the coverage is awsome and the lasting power is amazing. I'm a MAC NC35 and I bought this in B40 Desert Beige. It's unlike any foundation I've ever tried. I don't know if I'll ever love a foundation the way I love this little guy.
Amazing!
Before purchasing this foundation I was using heavier coverage foundations but this foundation is an amazing day time foundation! It feels as though your wearing no make up it's so light and smooth. It has a beautiful dewy youthful finish and has amazing staying power. I wear this foundation to work and after a 10 hour shift theres often very little wear to it.
My new BFF
I am head over heels in love with this foundation! It feels light as air, and yet it covers all of your imperfections! It gives skin that gorgeous glow and looks so natural! I get people asking me how I keep my skin looking so flawless! This is my little secret! Yes, it is Chanel, so the price is going to be quite high. But that also means that the quality is high. No more looking for another foundation! And it lasts really long! This foundation is flawless. I could talk about it for hours. But to save time, just go get some and try it out for yourself!
Holy Grail
I LOVE this foundation...wow never thought I'd say that. I have searched high and low for the perfect foundation and have finally found it. The ONLY problem I have with this foundation is the color range seems limited. I am a MAC NC15 and the B10 is a bit orangey on me. Putting that aside this foundation is a winner, the texture is unreal sort of a bouncy mousse. The finish is very natural, not too dewy and not too matte, the perfect combo! Did I mention the lasting power on this baby...its ridiculous. I apply this before school topping it off with a little powder and it keeps me shine free throughout the school day. Also no more foundation hugs..you know that awkward moment when you hug someone and your foundation rubs off all over their shirt. Yea been there done that and its no fun but this foundation is the answer. Iam telling you go try it!
my new favorite foundation :)
I just recently purchased this foundation and I have already fell in love with it! This foundation gives plenty of coverage while giving the feeling that I'm not wearing anything. I'm very picky when it comes to the way it feels on my face and it feels amazing! You defiantly have to make sure you shake the bottle well enough before you use. Another thing that I love about this foundation is that you can keep layering it for the right coverage you need. I bought this foundation in beige rose and the color matches my skin perfectly :) I don't think ill buy a different foundation for a very long time, if ever.
For that person who is looking for more than a tinted moisturizer.
I usually put my clients in this foundation, if they are looking for something that is going to give them more color than a tinted moisturizer, have oily skin and don't like TOO much on their face, for that new comer to foundation, but really viturally anyone can use this foundation. I found myself at first skeptical because I'm always used to medium to full coverage, and I didn't think this product would be up to par. But this summer I decided to take the plunge and try it for myself, and I fell in love with it. It's buildable, and it's nice because it's lightweight BUT gives more coverage than what I thought. Instantly I was a fan and I had to pick myself up a bottle. I love that it's plastic, and compact so that I can take it to the pool, or on the road with me, I really LOVE that feature of it. Also, it's nice because it gives just enough to help hide those pesky blemishes. You want to make sure that you shake the bottle at least 5-8 seconds before applying, because of it's water base. Also, make sure you get matched because there is two groups to this foundation: Beige for the yellow undertones, and beige rose for the pinky. I had always thought I was more yellow undertone, but when I was matched for beige rose, I saw that it really brought out some natural color, which is something I want.
it's CHANEL!!!!
I have read a ton of good reviews of this product but was hesitant to get it myself because of the price. But lo & behold, my cousin gave me one for free out of her trip from London!! So when I started using it, I was thinking "Well, if I don't like it, at least I didn't spend for it myself!!" But, OMG, after one week, I think I'm doomed!
First off, it has really cute packaging. It's small, compact & in a plastic, so you can just place it anywhere in your bag. Another huge plus is the fact that you can just apply it with your fingers. And the best thing about it is that it really does have that "second skin effect". Forget about oiliness, because a few blotting papers there will do the trick. I'm a doctor so I always go on duty for 24 hours straight and it lasts half the day. No exaggeration!
Can I say any more good things about this product? I'm in loooove with it & will continue to purchase it after it runs out :)
No other foundation is even worth it
I began wearing this foundation just before the summer of 2011. From the first application I was totally in love with it. It stays all day. One of my problems is that my skin always seemed to drink up all my foundations and by mid-afternoon I had nothing on my face. This foundation lasts. I apply it before leaving for work and do not have to retouch. Definitely a plus for me.
Among the other many pluses of this Chanel foundation is that a little goes a very long way. You can build it up if you want but in my opinion it is not necessary. A little covers a lot.
I would recommend you try this product. Although a little on the expensive side it is very much worth it.
