I ordered The Future Skin Foundation yesterday- cannot wait to receive it. It really sounds like something perfect for me. I generally love Chantecaille, especially the Giraffe collection that came out this year. Love the mermaid shadows too, and the eyeliners. Thank you for your great review!
Such a great idea Sofia! I actually really like the single eye shades, some of them have this beautiful multi-colour sparkle (Pangolin in particular). If you are wiling to give these another chance, I recommend that shade! I also really recommend the Sirena bronzer :)
Thank you for your recs! I was tempted by the Sirena bronzer but I held off for this year since I bought SO many bronzers 😂😂😂 I need to keep that on my list 😊
I wish I could give you a thousand likes for your honesty lol😊 totally agree with your critique of the luminescent eye shades. Pangolin alone is a unique, pretty color but best to get it on sale. For me, the Sisley eye twists which are a similar price point are more worth it because of the quality as well as the time they save me. The mermaid shades were also horrible on me…they have a weird powder/cream texture and creased horribly on me. I also agreed with your findings on their baked gelee products. Their bronzers for example were hard for me to pick up and hard-panned so bad. I do LOVE their eyeliners and their lip chics. I have tried almost all their skincare and while some products weren’t the best on me I have never had a “dud” or something I totally regretted.
Thank you for your thoughts! 😊 Do you have any skincare recs?? I ended up ordering the biolifting mask and the lily calming mask to try. I haven't been masking because of my acne the past 2 years and now I am getting back into it
Hi Sofia, very useful video thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm really loving the lip chics , the skin tint and the powder from Chantecaille. Are you from Greece
Hi Sofia 🤗 Chantecaille is the one brand that i'm always *this* close to pulling the trigger on buying, but somehow never end up doing it... 🤷♀️ I guess the prices make me EXTRA picky. As a one-and-done shadow lover i've been lusting over these Luminescent Eye Shades for absolute ages, but the more i've been reading about them and watching reviews on them I realised that I'd end up being disappointed. They look... kinda flat? And the price is ridiculous... idk, i'll stick to my CT or Tom Ford singles 😌 From the products that I still am intigued and interested in: Future Skin foundation, Lip Chics and the liquid cheek products! 😍 All the love! Sophie x
This video was perfect for what I needed. Thank you. Having just discovered Chantecaille and tonight happening upon a sale, I watched this video and made a haul! FYI I found the tinted moisturizer for almost half price so I hope I'm not getting ripped off.
Great video! I love it. For the brightening pencil - did you have a chance to compare it to Charlotte Tilbury and Victoria Beckham? Which one do you like the best?
I don't have the ones from those brands yet! Victoria Beckham pencils generally don't last in the waterline but I am not sure if her new brightening one is a different formula
For me, chantecaille is like the emperor’s new clothes…. I just don’t get the crazy love. There are a few standout products- the philanthropy cheek shades and the cheek Gelees- but apart from those, nothing that I find worth the hefty price tag. I will be trying the future skin foundation though as I think it will have skin benefits as well. Btw, what brush did you use for the future skin foundation?
Great video as always, I really want to try the future skin but I’m terrible at picking foundation shades so I’m nervous to get it. I tried doing online shade match and got 2 different ones so I’m no closer to picking really 😅
The luminescent eye shadows are crushed pearl not glitter and the mica is certified ethically sourced. They also each donate to an organization of the animal on the packaging
I ordered the future skin after your reviewed it, what a win! But I hardly ever order direct from chantecaille, because their return/exchange policy isn’t great. I order from Beautylish usually, for no hassle. I have the future skin, and the tinted primer, and I did buy the summer eye and cheek single. Which was outrageously expensive, but I love it! I’d repurchase items I already know I like from them, but would never blind buy. Not even for a sale. Too many misses with the hits. Fantastic review of pretty much all their formulas!
Hi Sofia! Have you tried their Perfect Blur Finishing Powder in your collection yet? I know you’re not a fan of setting powders due to having dry skin type. I also have dry skin but I still kinda like to set my makeup with a little bit of powder. I’m almost done with my Charlotte Tilburry’s Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting powder. It makes my skin dry and my foundation patchy even if I only apply a little bit of it, so I’m in search for a new one. If you haven’t tried Chantecaille’s powder yet, can you please recommend any other good setting powders that you know? Thank you!!
Hey Cherlyn! I am a goof and I forgot to include the Chantecaille setting powder in this video 🙄 I have it. I will be honest I don’t think it’s with the hype. My fave doesn’t react to powders well and even the CT also doesn’t work well for me. The only thing that seems to work well for me are the hourglass finishing powders. For whatever reason they don’t make my face dry. I would recommend getting a mini to try if you haven’t experienced those!
Thanks so much for your honest video -- great job as always! I really want to try the Chantecaille brand, especially their foundations. But they come in so few shades (e.g., the cushion foundation comes in only 8 shades), that I don't see the point in paying top-dollar to try and "make" a foundation or any product work for me. If I get something at some point, it would probably be the blur powder.
I love this video! I have to say that I kind of agree with you about the blush and highlight palette. I think is nice but it is way overpriced.. like most of the products. The package feels so cheap ( compared to WA).. I use it with a dense brush ( the niji pro).
Yes the luminescent eye shades!! I was LUSTINGGGGG over them for an entire year but the price tag always put me off. And then I finally got the chance to swatch them about a month ago and I was so… underwhelmed??? Disappointed??? I was expecting SO much more but maybe it’s my own fault for building them up and putting them on such a high pedestal in my mind. Lolol oh well, that’s $100 saved for me (I wanted the elephant and rhino!).
Loved hearing your perspective on this. I definitely agree with you, the single shadows are a highway robbery 🤣🤣🤣. I own 3 and honestly would rather trade if for a full face of another brand or a PMG palette. I’d also rank the baked bronzer with your blush duo. For me atleast it was also hard to pick up on the pan. I’m picking up the foundation form the sale, I hope it goes well for me. And I’d love to try the mascara, I’m so curious if it will help my lashes grow it’s supposed to have peptides but it’s $75 😅. That might wait til a Skinstore sale.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I feel like the bronzer and other baked glee products are either a fave or fail for people. Gah I am just realizing that I didn't include the blurring powder in this ranking 🤪🤪
I love the lip chics and future skin foundation. I dont even care they are over priced they are the best! Also the blush in their holiday formula (like the pearl packaging one) ...its kinda balmy... its the best! But also over priced lol
i agree on the luxury packaging, i spend more money for the experience of beauty. i like kjear weis bc its metal, sleek, and refillable. both makeup and packaging is gorgeous (and so weighty). have you tried kjear weis?? i cant get into chantecaille packaging with the price. it does not sell me. i love animals, but i dont like to wear clothes or have animals on my makeup. just like i love cheetahs, but dont wear animal prints. (im 33, mom)
@@SofiaSeesBeauty cream blushes are by far the best. the eyeshadows are beautiful, but theyre not "punchy". grace is my everyday 1 shadow crease shade. the glosses are nice, but not must have. i like the cream foundation, if cream foundations are your thing. the lip liners are too creamy and not long lasting. same with the eye liners.
I just loaded up on Chantecaille makeup and skincare during the sale a week ago. While the products are lovely products, some are disappointing and I regret the purchase. I just started using the products so I can’t speak to longevity or results but I can say that the price of the makeup is not justified. I hope I love the skincare due to the investment. One other disappointment is their return policy. If you trial it, you’re stuck with it. They don’t refund if product is used.
@@SofiaSeesBeauty , I really do enjoy the textures of the cushion and gel foundations as far as their makeup line. ( I don’t like much coverage though. I enjoy a light, evening of the spots and redness but to see my skin, so those who do like or want coverage won’t like). I purchased the tinted rose something or other and it’s lovely but too expensive, the rose de Mai facial oil and rose de Mai under eye serum and again, lovely textures an nice results just too expensive. One thing I could see myself repurchasing is the cheek gelee! LOVE that lightweight texture, the shades are gorgeous and very versatile! Once this round of Chantecaille is empty though, I think I’ll tap out of their products. So, I’d love some cruelty free recommendations/ Chantecaille dupes.
Overpriced. For $23 more, I can pick up Midnight Sun, Mothership palette on PML’s site. It’s on sale now. No way would I buy a single eyeshadow from Chantecaille. I did purchase 1 of her lip chics on Amazon with my points. I really like the formula of these though.
I’m annoyed that they made it only 25% this year, after prices have already risen. It’s my stock up sale so the $$ add up quick. Grrrrrr. Not a great move by the new ownership. I think I’m going to wait for the Credo sale. Their rep said coming soon. ;)
I hear you. I have heard similar feedback from other subbies. I think that everyone is having to increase their prices and are looking for ways to cut out cost
@@SofiaSeesBeauty I’ve no problem w the rising prices; that’s everywhere. This is different because it’s the very first summer under new owners and the first thing they do is reduce the sale that the OG big spenders (I did $800+ last year in the sale alone) return to every year. It’s a very bad impression to start with. I’m watching the new owners with skepticism. 😒
I have a few of the single shadows elephant and pangolin are very nice. I do believe chantecaille is super overpriced and aren’t very inclusive when it comes to shade range
This was such a great video - I truly appreciate your honesty, and have to say that my experience with Chantecaille is also very mixed. ♥️
Thank you so much!
Thanks Sofia, just purchased the gel foundation and the tinted moisterizer - they have singels day discount on top of the moisterizer sale! So happy
I ordered The Future Skin Foundation yesterday- cannot wait to receive it. It really sounds like something perfect for me. I generally love Chantecaille, especially the Giraffe collection that came out this year. Love the mermaid shadows too, and the eyeliners. Thank you for your great review!

Sophia- I’m curious what you feel the difference between the tinted moisturizer and the gel foundation is.
The foundation has more coverage and the finish is less like skincare

Thank you so much for this in dept info!! Appreciate it!!
You are so welcome!

I don't have the ones from those brands yet! Victoria Beckham pencils generally don't last in the waterline but I am not sure if her new brightening one is a different formula
I'd have to disagree with your pick for the 'worst product'. What you've got on your eyelids is stunning and looks luxurious.

I use a Sephora Pro Concealer brush! I will link it in the description :)
@@SofiaSeesBeauty thank you!!
Those nails need their own video, sooo beautiful 🤩
haha 😊 thank you 🍉🍓🍒
Have you tried any of the skincare? They are mostly know for that. Thanks for sharing 💜K
Not yet! I just ordered 2 of their masks this week to try
Great video as always, I really want to try the future skin but I’m terrible at picking foundation shades so I’m nervous to get it. I tried doing online shade match and got 2 different ones so I’m no closer to picking really 😅
Do you have a Saks or Nordstrom near you perhaps? I noticed that my local Saks has Chantecaille in the store
The luminescent eye shadows are crushed pearl not glitter and the mica is certified ethically sourced. They also each donate to an organization of the animal on the packaging
It doesn't make them good
Great observation! You said in the video you didnt understand why they were expensive, just offering some perspective.
This is a great ranking, Sofia! I’m curious whether you think the Future Skin foundation would work well applied with a Beauty Blender sponge?
Yes I do think it will work with a sponge. You will probably get a little lighter coverage that way but it works well
Thanks!
I never seem to use up products but I’m
on my third jar of the future skin. Love it so much.
So good!!
I ordered the future skin after your reviewed it, what a win! But I hardly ever order direct from chantecaille, because their return/exchange policy isn’t great.

For a while I was thinking about these single shadows, now I feel relief 😅 I’d like lip products and some eye colors.

Completely agree 😊

yes I know what you mean. That was definitely one thing that I didn't point out about the base products. I wish they would extend the shades!

Ohhhh I should try the Niji next time! I just want all brands to have packaging like WA and Victoria Beckham 😩😂
"Where's the elephant!?" Lmao! Love the honesty. Hoping for more brand reviews.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for another brand to cover!
@@SofiaSeesBeauty OMG yes! Please do Hourglass. Their primer, setting powder and liquid lip cream especially.

Is your lip color Wild Poppy? Which color of eyeshadow is in your crease? Thank you
Lip color is poppy and I am pretty sure I just used some bronzer in the crease
The products with the animal prints include a donation to save that particular animal.
very helpful - thx ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
There's something in the Lip Chic that burns my lips. They don't feel moisturizing to me, either.
I love the lip chics and future skin foundation. I dont even care they are over priced they are the best!
Also the blush in their holiday formula (like the pearl packaging one) ...its kinda balmy... its the best! But also over priced lol
