Review on Chanel's Vitalumiere Liquid Foundation Part 1




After hearing the YouTube Guru’s The Pixiwoo Sisters rave about this and the other versions of the Chanel foundations, I thought to myself I had to try it out and see what all the fuss was about. So hopping online I was lucky enough to find it at StrawberryNet.

My order arrived to my office at my work and I immediately opened it and put it on using my (clean) fingers as I had no brushes with me at work. My first thoughts on the product were it looks quite sleek and stylish in its packaging. The product came with a pump which was very convenient and means you get the right amount each time. Applying the product is quite easy it has water like consistentance that just glides over the skin. It blends very well into the skin to give a dewy finish; it sort of looks like you just had a facial and drank 8 glasses of water in one hit. I found the product gave a light to medium coverage but can built upon if you want to obtain a full coverage.

 While am I a makeup enthusiast I don’t like makeup that feels unnatural of heavy on the skin. This foundation fits the requirements for me as it was very light and didn’t feel heavy or cakey. I have notoriously dehydrated skin and finding foundation that doesn’t aggravate this is hard to find, this foundation was very hydrating on the skin and made me look radiant. Now the things I disliked about this product. Firstly the smell, it has a light smell. It’s not overpowering but it was something that made me kind of pull back upon taking a whiff, However once applied the smell did not linger. I also found this product rubbed off on my first time wearing it, however I did not wear a primer nor set the foundation with my Mac+ setting spray or a foundation.

I will continue to wear this foundation over the next couple of days to really test it out and see its staying power. But upon first impressions I am very happy with this product and would recommend this to people with dry to combination skin types only. If you are oily this product would not be suitable as it would only make your complexion look oilier.

Stay tuned for the follow up review.
