CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup

I always find it exciting to buy new makeup for eyes, lips and nails at the beginning of a season, especially from my favourite designer brands, where colours and textures reflect the mood of their new fashion themes.  When it comes to basics like skincare products or foundation, once I find the right one, I tend to use it for years, until the product is discontinued or my skin develops different needs.  Of course, as a beauty blogger, I am always interested to look at new products and try them out.

For some years now, my foundation has been CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup in Clair (20).

CHANEL VITALUMIÈRE in Clair (20)

VITALUMIÈRE comes in a pump container and is very easy to apply. CHANEL recommend just dabbing it on the face and blending it in with the fingertips.  It really does go on easily and smoothly.  

Although it is very moisturising, it doesn't create oiliness.  It contains special ingredients like extracts of walnut and liquorice, which seem to lift tired looking skin and give a youthful appearance.  The effect is smooth, luminous and with a healthy glow.

VITALUMIÈRE has a light texture but it gives a medium coverage.  I find that applied under my eyes, it covers, lightens and reduces the appearance of my dark shadows. Also, to some extent, it definitely softens and fills out my lines.  Added to all this, it contains an SPF 15 sun filter.  To me, VITALUMIÈRE is a makeup, treatment and protection all in one!

There's a good range of shades from pale to dark (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80). I wear 20 Clair, a light cream beige that's not too pale and not too beige.

I would suggest that VITALUMIÈRE is a very good fluid foundation for normal to dry skin and especially beneficial to mature skin that needs a little extra help!
