Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet Foundation B50 (Beige)

I actually have dry skin areas and although this foundation is apparently more suited to oily skin I actually get on really well with it. I have suffered for a few months with quite a red complexion across nose and cheeks and have found this difficult to fully cover with my usual foundation and concealer however the le teint velvet works really well disguising this.I have not found the foundation drying at all and think this will become a favourite of mine.

I am sooo obsessed with this foundation. It’s a buildable, lightweight formula. The Chanel associate that helped me at the Pacific Palisades location told me that this is often used in photo shoots and red carpet events. Apparently a lot of celebrity makeup artists have this in their arsenal because it produces wonderful results! I’ve used this for a casual wear photo shoot as well and it really does look wonderful in pictures. It looks natural in the sun light. It doesn’t look cakey either. It really does blur your skin out and makes it look like your natural skin... it’s not a full on glam foundation. This foundation makes you look phenomenal in person and on camera. It’s also long wearing on my normal to dry in the winter and normal to oily in the summer skin ... MoreI am sooo obsessed with this foundation. It’s a buildable, lightweight formula.

This is one of my favorite foundations on the same list as YSL All Hours, Dior Forever 24 Hour Wear, Givenchy Teint Couture Everwear, Shiseido Skin self refreshing foundation, Nars Sheer Glow, Nars NRL, IT Cosmetics CC cream and Fenty Pro Filt’r. #chanel #makeup #skincare #beautiful #beauty #holygrail

This is the best foundation/base product I've ever used! The formula of this is so unique. It's a really thin, almost watery consistency, and it can easily be blended with your fingers. It dries down to a semi-matte powdery finish. It never looks too powdery though, and because it has some radiance to it, it never looks flat matte or cakey. On me, this is a light coverage foundation that can probably be built up to a medium coverage, and it lasts all day on my oily t-zone. I definitely recommend this for anyone with combination/oily skin looking for a super easy, no-fuss foundation. I don't even need to use primer with this because it lasts super long and it blurs your pores, and I also don't need to powder my entire face to make it last! I will forever repurchase ... MoreThis is the best foundation/base product I've ever used! The formula of this is so unique.

This baby will last you a very long time! The formula of the foundation is pleasant, it is not very liquid, but a few drops are distributed over a large area. You can layer it if necessary. Its coverage is 1000% - thin, but it will cover everything! It's not called tint for nothing. Very durable! It doesn’t leak, doesn’t move, doesn’t get greasy even in the heat of summer. With it you will be confident in your makeup

Best New (to me) Foundation Purchase of 2024!

Chanel's Ultra Le Teint Velvet Foundation is the best new (to me) foundation I've purchased this year! Complexion products from Chanel have always been excellent quality. I especially like this one because the BR32 shade matches my skin tone 100% for Summer and I believe the BR22 will be a perfect Winter match! The foundation is in a great, lightweight container for travel. I like the sleek black look. The formula is also lightweight on the skin and offers sheer to medium buildable coverage. It sits perfectly on the skin and lasts for a full 8-hour workday. I did find the formula to blur pores and fine lines. My skin is combination-oily and I have enlarged pores and fine lines at age 47, but no heavy wrinkles yet. I would say the formula is comfortable with a ... MoreChanel's Ultra Le Teint Velvet Foundation is the best new (to me) foundation I've purchased this year!

Its not too dewy and not dry or cakey at all. It spreads out lovely with a brush, and can be used with fingers as well. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and will re-buy!

Light velvety foundation

It's absolutely my go-to foundation. I have been using this for the past five years. Light, velvety coverage that you can build on. It’s perfect if you apply only on some areas or a very layer as I do. What I love the most is the variety of shades in this product that are a true match to your skin. Definitely go to a counter to be matched by a Chanel consultant before buying.

Love this foundation

I’ve used this for years! It has gone up in price which is discouraging but unlike other products you won’t need a lot which makes it last longer. It gives smooth glide on coverage but doesn’t feel caked on my skin even after long hours of wearing it. I have an olive tone, slightly tanned Asian combination skin and I use B40.

One of the very BEST oil free foundations!

I’ve been using this foundation for the past 15 years &I have somewhat oily skin,more so in the summer & with the right concealer, this stuff is amazing! I love my “hourglass” brand concealer paired with this foundation and it last through sweat & humidity , & it actually has SPF in it too!! It’s very hard to find and the colors are always very limited, so if you do see your color, make sure you pick this up right away. I promise you will be happy that you bought this, especially if you have combination or oily skin. This is a light to medium coverage foundation so if you have dark spots or flaws, you will need a concealer, but this foundation is amazing and worth every single penny !! I’ve tried almost every high end tinted moisturizer, oil free foundation, regular ... MoreI’ve been using this foundation for the past 15 years &I have somewhat oily skin,more so in the summer & with the right concealer, this stuff is amazing!

I’ve tried almost every high end tinted moisturizer, oil free foundation, regular foundation etc..and I always come back to this, especially in the summer and high humidity. If you live in the south, this is great year round, I actually like it year round and I live in the north east. This is AMAZING!

PLEASE keep forever!

Love the velvet feel! I was thrilled to see it is back in my shade again. This is my go to in the summer time. It is light weight but pretty. Doesn't feel or look shiny. If you want more coverage you need to apply more. Love everything about it.....SPF, and packaging, dispenser, but took off one star for not being available for long period of times. Please keep this. I had to try the les beige and it's not as silky. Was way too thick.

my HOLY grail

This foundation is my Holy grail. When I wear it, I receive complements that my skin is so “radiant” and “perfect”; when, in actuality, my skin is splotchy, I have large pores, discoloration and fine lines. The Chanelfoundation blurs imperfects, goes on so smoothly— your skin will love it. The finished productions flawless( I often don’t even wear powder on top. It was discontinued for a while (?) and I tried many high end foundations, only to be disappointed. They weren’t bad; they just weren’t Le Tint Velvet by Chanel. It’s pricey but you don’t need much, so it lasts quite a while. I highly recommend.
