I LOVE this skincare foundation! I'm Japanese in my 50s and my skin is dry to combination. With a small pump squeeze for each half of my face and using a brush, it gives me the lightest coverage leaving my skin look dewy and with a "porcelain" finish. It is the ultimate No make up finish which can be built up for a more polished look. I ended up buying the les beiges blush too as aI didn't want my powder blush to matte this finished "skin look". Advise to get your shade tested at a counter as they have many shades with very subtle difference. I thought I was neutral (B40) but the advisor who made my face up in neutral on one side and a warm tone on the other side ( BD41) sent me to the window with a mirror and I could immediately see the difference with my neck. ...

So to start off, it's a beautiful foundation no doubt about that. I have oily/combo skin and it worked well with my skin. However, the first time I bought it I had a worker do a shade match on me at the store and it seemed to be my perfect match... but once I got home and used it for the first time out, I noticed it looked too warm and dark on me. So I went back to return it and did my own shade match but before making a final decision on which shade to get I decided to also check how the shades I was swatching looked on me in natural sunlight because the lights in the store will literally have you thinking your one shade but once you get home you realize you're not that shade. Also, it could be because of the lack of undertones and shades in this foundation. Just ... MoreSo to start off, it's a beautiful foundation no doubt about that.

It's lightweight and good for that more "natural" days.

I'm 44 with a fair skin tone and dry, fairly sensitive skin. I've searched my entire adult life for a foundation that I could consider my "Holy grail," and I've finally found it. It's truly radiant without looking like a film of oil just sitting on top of my skin, which other products have done (when they don't make my face look like literal notebook paper). It has a lightweight consistency that feels like nothing on the skin, and a true medium coverage. It doesn't settle into, nor emphasize, fine lines, wrinkles, or pores, and it lasts all day without setting. That said, if you need your face to be touchable without transfer, you're probably either going to have to powder heavily or skip this one altogether. The *only* downside for me is the price, especially since ... MoreI'm 44 with a fair skin tone and dry, fairly sensitive skin.

The only time my makeup ever looked good was at my wedding , and my makeup artist used an airbrush. Then I bought this foundation and my life changed ! Sounds dramatic but let me tell you... this foundation may be pricey but my makeup has never looked better (since my wedding) ! It looks like I get my makeup done professionally anytime I use it! It is worth the money.. you get that flawless airbrushed look every time you put this on. The shade matched my skin tone perfectly and it gives a radiant, silky , soft/smooth appearance! I set this with Chanel's loose powder and NO primer , and it lasts all day! It is buildable, hydrating, and I could go on! Many people docked off a star for the scent but with luxurious brands , it's not surprising to have scents with their ...

For reference I'm 28 with oily skin. I don't care if buying this makes me bougey! The hunt for finding my staple foundation is over and I love that for me
I have tried so many different foundations over the years, and none have had me receive as many compliments as this one! It's really good at making your skin texture look a lot better! Granted, my skin has improved so much since I started wearing makeup because I have a better skincare routine and healthier lifestyle. (I think good skin doesn't just rely on good skincare, but healthy living as well.) I paired this foundation with the Stila all-in-one correcting primer, and I received so many compliments on how good my skin looked! I also used the Laura Mercier transluscent setting powder with this foundation. The foundation itself is really good, but it worked wonders for my skin with these other products.

I have textured skin from not caring very well for it as a teenager dealing with acne, but the foundation made me look so fabulous! I didn't need to use too much either, and I love that it has buildable coverage. I don't wear foundation every day, and I don't use too much, so I think the bottle will last me a while. I've never spent so much on a foundation, but I would probably be willing to purchase it again unless I found something else that did the same for me but at a cheaper price.
I think this is a very nice foundation which is to be expected from Chanel. I do think the shade selection needs to be expanded. I feel the neutrals run a bit pink. It has a nice finish that I would describe as natural rather than glowy. The skin definitely needs to be prepped before applying if you are dry skinned. I also use a primer; usually Laura Mercier hydrating or Smashbox primerizer. I don't wear it for 12 hours but it does last most of the day for me. I would prefer it did not have fragrance but it dissipates and doesn't seem to irritate me. It is sheer to light coverage but is somewhat buildable. I think it looks best with one layer. It is very flattering on the skin but if you are looking for coverage you will be disappointed. It is pricey but if you can ...

It is pricey but if you can find a good shade match and you just want something that enhances your skin, it is a nice product. I purchased B20 and feel it's slightly too pink but BD21 definitely looked too yellow. It is described as light medium neutral and I am definitely light; not medium at all. The lighter shades were a bit chalky on me. I do not feel I got the best shade match but I do think I can make it work and I do enjoy this foundation. For reference, I have dry mature skin and prefer a hydrating foundation with light to medium coverage.
I can't believe I spent this much, but I'd do it again! I'm 52, with some sun spots, but like moderate coverage and a glowy look. My skin is on the dry side, so it tends to suck up makeup and it doesn't last on me. I put this over my tinted sunscreen, and tried with and without powder, 2 different days. I liked the look without the powder and found my face still looked natural and fairly well covered after 6+ hours, some shopping and a dog walk. It hadn't settled into my lines on upper lip and forehead, though I always just lightly dab foundation in those areas. AND I like the way it made my skin feel all day, didn't dry out and I couldn't feel it otherwise. On the first day I had tried to add some translucent setting powder and was not happy with the combo, but on ... MoreI can't believe I spent this much, but I'd do it again!

On the first day I had tried to add some translucent setting powder and was not happy with the combo, but on the second day I was very happy with this alone. On me, I didn't even need primer. My Bobbi brown bronzer and blush had all faded away, but this foundation still gave my skin a nice look after all those hours. I hear their Velvet is better for oily or heavier coverage too.
I had been searching for soooo long for the perfect color/tone of a base makeup or a tinted moisturizer and I came across a video recommending this. At first I was a little reluctant due to the price but I decided to take a leap of faith and I am So Glad I Did! This is so perfect in every way and we'll worth the price. Could it be a bit less expensive? Yes it could but you also get what you pay for. And I want quality on my face an skin , I also want a color / tone or tint that actually matches my very fair skin. And at my age I do not want heavy full coverage. This does everything I want and need it to do. It evens out my skin and looks and feels very light and natural.

I would truly recommend this to anyone over 40 or anyone looking for something along those lines. It doesn't take much so as far as the expense in the end it costs about the same as some of your less expensive base makeups but with a much better quality! Just be sure to use a brush or sponge an one maybe two pumps tops is all you need for a full face. It's also buildable so if you need a bit more coverage or wish to use a bit more to conceal under your eyes it's perfect for that as well. I have done both with great outcomes.In the end I really can't say enough about it. It is an investment but we'll worth it!
I've tried and returned three other highly rated foundations recently, searching for that perfect one. Others fell flat. Either they didn't look natural, wouldn't wear well, or just crept into the lines on my face after a long day. I almost gave up then tried this one and it was BY FAR the best.It has perfect coverage...not too much where your face looks monotone, not too little where it doesn't cover imperfections. It blends well. Has a nice sheen. And it LASTS all day. The only "downside" is that there's no SPF. I use another SPF prior to foundation so no big deal for me, but might be for some -- and I truly think that's why this foundation is so good. It also has a floral scent I love, but not sure if others will find it irritating. It's great for me!
For years now I've been using tinted moisturizers instead of foundation, because I just don't like how cakey and fakey most foundation looks. And the ones that look more natural tend to be loaded with silicones that end up congesting skin. The No. 1 de Chanel revitalizing foundation is silicone-free and yet has a lovely slip, applies like silk. It has a thin, almost serum-like consistency that melts in and gives skin a beautiful, natural, slightly dewy finish. It balances uneven skin tone and smooths out surface imperfections without completely hiding natural features like freckles. I'm so glad I got shade matched by an Ulta pro, because she also gave me a valuable tip: one pump is enough to do your whole face. It's true - resist the temptation to over-apply, ...

It's true - resist the temptation to over-apply, because with this product less really is more! What I've found works best for me is to moisturize first, then dispense one pump of the foundation onto my hand. I then use one finger to lightly dot the product all over my face, followed by gently patting it into place with all of my fingers. For a slightly more matte finish, buff gently with a fluffy complexion brush. I must say, this is the most I've ever spent on a makeup product - but a little goes a long way, and it's completely worth it!
