Foundation Perfection – Chanel Perfection Lumiere

I love Chanel foundations and was really lucky to try out the new Perfection Lumiere. It’s a gorgeous foundation that melts into your skin, offering light to medium coverage. One application evens out your skin tone, making it look radiant and fresh, but if you like me, wan’t more coverage, then it’s a perfect foundation that’s build-able without making it look cakey or overdone.

I’ve been wearing it a lot lately and am very impressed with how long it holds up. It also looks great on camera, so you don’t have to worry about looking like a ghost in your pics.

It comes in a pump-action bottle, so you don’t waste a single drop. You can apply it with your fingers, a foundation brush or a “skunk brush”, it’s totally up to you. I like applying it with my foundation brush and then buffing it in with my MAC 187 brush. It gives it a really nice finish that doesn’t require powder to set.

For even glowier complexion, I like to apply a bit of Soleil Tan de Chanel on my cheekbones, chin and forehead.

Chanel Perfection Lumiere comes in a wide range of shades, so you are sure to find your perfect match. Mine’s B40 and a bottle Chanel Perfection Lumiere costs R505 and is available from Chanel counters nationwide.
