CHANEL LES BEIGES Water-Fresh Tint

Most Helpful Positive Review

If you want a light coverage foundation, this is great!

I found the product not drying to my skin, did not have issues with emphasizing dry patches and pores, and found it comfortable on the skin. As all I wanted was a slight tint I was pleased with the product. I do not think one should reasonably expect even a medium coverage using this product, it is ...only good if you are looking for a sheer base. I felt it evened out my skin tone a bit, toning down red patches ever so slightly. Freckles and light scarring it cannot cover alone. If you are content for the most part with the condition of your skin and only want your skin tone to appear more even you will be happy. Even on unset skin, my base last a decent time. I felt no need for touch ups (the coverage may also influence that) even after six hours plus time wearing. I do however have very dry skin, and am using this product during winter. It had a very 'natural' finish, not appearing dry or becoming greasey overtime. Even with not setting my base, I didn't have issues with creasing under eyes or smile lines. I did not use primer or feel need to use primer, as the product has been recommended for use as a primer for heavier-coverage foundations. When you use the foundation, you will notice there are pigments suspended in watery clear gel. At least for the shade 'Light,' these pigments appear darker than the product once worked into the brush and blended in the face, so the product may not appear to not match your skin when looking only at the bottle and product first out of pump. If the worked product is ever so slightly off from your skin-tone, as it is so sheer, I believe there is little room for concern once blended. It is recommended to work the product into the back of your hand (there are always a mixing palettes too) and blend together the pigments and gel to see true color, and then apply the product to your face. You can get away with applying the product directly to center of the face, working the pigments and gel together, and blending outward- the result is still alright.
