I work for Chanel cosmetics. We were taught in class to pump the product directly onto the brush it comes with...then directly onto the face. Once the product touches the skin, the foundation color comes out...so if its put onto the hand first, you're wasting the product. I know in the instruction packet that comes in the box, it says to apply to hand & mix...but it really works better with the product pumped onto the brush directly. I hope this helps anyone! I'm obsessed with this foundation because I love that dewy skin look. And it's ultra hydrating! It's 75% water based & has Neroli flower scent which is good for redness & inflammation on the skin.
Soul Sessions I’m looking for more of a noticeable tint could Fleur have gone up to a medium plus? My skin tone is similar to hers and I’m thinking of trying that color. I saw another youtuber Allana Davidson use it and it looked great in her light skin!
Unpopular opinion: I’m thrilled it doesn’t have SPF. I’m allergic to it (unless it’s the mineral kind) and it’s frustrating when brands don’t consider people like me when they add SPF to foundations/primers or skin care. 🤷🏻♀️
I don't know why they bother. An application of foundation will never deliver the SPF they claim on the bottle. I put an SPF 30 or 50 on before my foundation anyway. Your point is a valid one. How annoying for you. X
Daniela Zevallos same here! Most chemical sunscreens give me bumps all over my skin, so I prefer foundations without sunscreen so I can control what I use.
I'm the same. can't use makeup if it has spf in it as it's usually chemical spf and i'm allergic to it. Can only use certain mineral spf. Wish they wouldn't put it in everything.
I pump directly onto the brush, I absolutely love this foundation! It still lets my freckles show through and gives me a light coverage, which is all really need. Especially great for aging skin too!
I wonder if you will ever be able to buy this foundation/ tint without the brush. Seems a bit silly to have to also buy another brush every time you need to replace your face product.
Flo Moody I know, I have the product w/brush. Was replying to the above comment of WHY you would need to buy another brush when product runs out. ??? 🙄
@@sloan_005 well if she has run out and has to buy another, the brush is again included in the new purchase. So she'd have two brushes. You said yourself the brush is included in the box and the money you pay is going towards an unnecessary 2nd brush
The idea of spf in a makeup item is kind of pointless anyways. You need a large amount of sunscreen to actually acquire any protection. And with makeup we use such a small amount that it won't actually defend our skin against the sun. Wayne Goss did a video on this years ago, that's how I learnt about it. Not to mention many people are sensitive to chemical sunscreens.
You know my foundation doesn't contain SPF at all but still even that needed amount of foundation protects my skin. I can see how my face is always lighter than the rest of my body in summer although I use SPF on my face only when I go to the beach or if I know I have to stay on the sun for more than an hour.
To be honest I think from camera looks like it has a fairly decent coverage, instantly makes your skin look better and blurred and natural. Really like how it makes your skin look, so fresh and younger looking than other foundations, I might just wear this on its own.
I love it. Works a treat for more mature skin when you need that your skin but better look. Evens out the complexion and gives a healthy glow. It takes a few mins to set . I would buy it again. 2 pumps are enough, you need to really buff it in.
The lady at the Chanel stand applied it all over my face and I fell in love! Smells amazing and feels great on my skin! Can be worn by itself or can be used as a “primer” then apply a different foundation:)
The beads in the liquid burst on impact with the skin. Therefore you should apply two pumps to the brush and apply it straight to your skin, gently buffing it in from the centre of the face. The beads actually contain the foundation, such as it is. If you place a pump on your hand first you will lose coverage.
I love their Perfection Velvet Lumiere. It is such a beautiful foundation for my 47 (today 🥳🥳🥳) year old skin. Not tempted by this after your review Fleur. Thanks for doing this for us. You still have the best brows on Planet Earth though. Btw, winning your Aspinal prize at Christmas has set off a major new addiction. Their bags are absolutely beautiful and are realistically priced. I LOVE everything in my collection. Thank you! 😘
I was just about to comment the same thing. This seems like it would do well with a finger application. Would more than likely go way farther so you wouldn't need 6+ pumps! Crazy! I've never heard of a foundation needing that many pumps to cover before!
I’ve tried with fingers and the pigment doesn’t burst and spread as well as it does with a brush. I used a billion pumps the first time too but that’s because I’m used to having full to medium coverage whereas the idea is to just kind of even out skin tone. Super sheer but really nice :)! I do think it’ll run out quickly though. I average maybe three pumps per application and add some powder to mattify on the tzone but I really only use it on weekends anyway!
HI i was in Chanel yesterday and they advised the brush is needed with this foundation to disperse the pigment - it does seem crazy though that the brush is sold with every bottle (the same with the cushion foundation where refills were never made available) - definitely feedback for Chanel beauty
The Real Di Babe oooh! Good idea! I haven’t tried the drunk elephant drops myself but could be beautiful! Let me know if you give it a go and get great results :).
I just purchased this and the Chanel associate told me that the correct technique to apply is to either on the brush or directly on the face and then use the brush. She said not to blend it on your hand.
Pam Cotter indeed. Otherwise, you're defeating the purpose (i.e. Wasting the technology on your hand). I don't care about spf in foundations. You'd need way too much for your foundation to properly protect your skin anyhow. SPF from SPF everyday, not from my foundation.
I think I will use this in summer, on holidays, over my super strong sun protection to even out my skin and give me this lovely glow you are having. Your skin looks beautiful with it. I like the idea that your skin feels very fresh and hydrated. Thanks for your review Fleur ♥
I love what this product does for my skin. I dont like foundations and like the "natural" look and glow, ticks all the right boxes. This product is amazing, gives you that fresh healthy GLOW like look. Best purchase I've ever made.
From my experience, when I first put this foundation on, it looks like nothing. But once it's blended with the brush and have time to set, you can definitely see the coverage. First I also used 2-3 pumps on each side but now I can do with 2 pumps for my entire face. It looks sooo natural and feels like nothing. Really enjoying this foundation!
Great review Fleur..You always do very practical and honest reviews. I have to say it looks great on you. But using 6 pumps as you say means a 30ml bottle wouldn't last long at all, which is a great point to make. 👍🏼
The finish on you is really really really nice & healthy! For me I don’t use it as foundation and it does say it’s a water-fresh tint really, i use it to just give my skin that oomph i like, then follow it with Chanel loose powder. If i want to cover my dark circles, which i rarely do, i add Chanel concealer
I received mine the other day and I have to agree with everything you said. I noticed that once it is on my skin a while you can see the difference and I do like it.I think it looks good on you.
It works really well with people that have the redness in the cheeks all the time. It totally makes my face so fresh and even. Tbh I love this product as a bb cream!
I love it! From the moment you applied it I could see the difference. It’s almost as good as the Sublimage foundation without the coverage. It’s gives the face this matte, blurred, neat effect that lasts and photographs well. I’m happy you’re keeping it. I want my daughter to try this for everyday. I may even try it! 😀
I used the sample while I was on vacation and had a tan/slight sunburn. It was perfect! Felt fresh on my face and cooler than foundation. I used my fingers since I didn't get a brush with the sample.
X you can def see it on your skin. I love how natural your skin looks after just applying that. It gives you a radiant glow. I will be buying! Thankyou fir the review.
I love the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua as well so this new product made me very interested. Perhaps you can try applying it with your fingers since it's so watery. The brush and the sponge just takes so much away. Anyway, more power to your channel!!!
I've been using this for about a week now, and I prefer using my hands instead of the brush as I find I use less product and get a bit more "coverage" (still not really any coverage, but I can see it on my skin). I use 2-3 pumps and rub it between my hands before applying to my face. You have to work the product a bit on your face to get the pigment and gel to properly mix, but I like it better
I'm in love with this product! It looks sooo healthy looking and I get so many compliments on my skin when I ware it. This plus a little concealer, here an there, are perfect combo :) ...oh also, it is for sure best to apply it just with fingers. Then you use sooo less product, and you can even layer it, I tried it and looks very good...
God, I know that’s no where near a foundation that someone who wants coverage would want, but damn if it’s not freaking gorgeous on your face! You look amazing in the camera. I’m the person that will let my spots show through my make up and not really care. Love you always 💕
I left your channel when it was overwhelmed with baby content (not a criticism, just wasn't able to relate)-- but you continue to be an honest, high-quality, informative beauty reviewer. I so appreciate how well you describe products, especially a product so expensive that I wouldn't want to take a gamble on. As someone who is super pale, this product actually sounds really perfect for me (aside from missing SPF)- I don't want anything too dramatic! Going to pick this up based on your review. Thanks, Fleur!
Thank you so much for checking this out. I’m kind of curious about the product but I think I’ll wait to see a few more reviews before I decide whether I want to try it myself.
As someone who never wears foundation anymore it sounds like the one foundation-like product that I would still like to use. Problem is the price (its way too much) and my sensitive skin. I get breakouts from Phenoxyethanol. Which is why I had to stop using the Chanel powder I once bought. :/
I use this as a lazy weekend tint, and for work with vitalumiere aqua on top..also I mix the product with the little brush until texture changes, then apply..x
I’ve tried the Chanel foundation that came out just before this one and am already craving another purchase 😂I’ll have to try some when I next pass the counter xxx
I work at a makeup store and the brush is there because you are meant to apply it with that brush specifically. Otherwise it won’t work properly! The beauty blender soaks it up because the product is 75% made of water.
I recently saw this product on an article when comparing the foundation that Princess Diana used to wear. I can see how it would be comparable, just like Diana your skin looks fresh and young and healthy
I’ve watched a couple of other videos on this product and it seems that you have to pump it onto the brush and then apply to the face which will break the balls, I think it looks stunning, you may find that you don’t need so many pumps using this technique 😘😘
I think it will work perfect on try skin. I always have the problem to find something very watery so it hydrates the skin and also give a little bit of coverage. I think it's a very good alternative for the chanel vitalumier (not the aqua version). Thank you!
It looks lovely and glad to hear it doesn't have much of a scent. It should have SPF though you are right. They do have a wonderful sheer SPF that would probably work fabulous underneath that. Perhaps a primer underneath would be helpful too. Thanks for the review and have a great day!
I think you look great. It’s a pretty, natural glow. Would I buy it, no. I have heard it only lasts about 4 hours but I always find that variable. On you, it looks lovely.
I disagree with your comment about the shade range it shouldn’t matter whether you can pass off another shade as your match or not it’s 2019 and these huge multimillionaire brands are still not being inclusive to deeper skin tones, there’s absolutely no excuse for it anymore. They have the money to invest in formulas and teams that can formulate darker skin shades it’s really ignorant at this point and it’s really just openly saying that they don’t care about a huge group of people.
Its not just darker shades. I am quite pale and there is nothing to suit my skin in Chanel but hey, it's their brand. No one is forcing anyone to buy it. Also you may notice, brow products for red heads are near impossible to find... it is just the way it is and allows brands which do cater to light/dark skintones to grab a larger share of the market.
No single company, big or small, owes it to any one to have a product available for them. They are just making shades that they anticipate will sell best. Based on historical sales of their other products. They've made a business decision to not explore new markets, that's up to them. Are they loosing out? Probably. Are they avoiding waste? Maybe. I highly doubt they make these decisions purely in order to exclude people with certain skin colour. Also it's a new priduct so i suspect if it does well in terms of sales, the shade range will be expanded. It makes no sense to bring out 20+ shades of a product if it turns out to be a flop.
Only a white person would say this.. it is not fun to feel left out, excluded, or not “good enough” for Chanel. Please, I implore you to check yourself.
@@jfb919 I understand what you're saying to an extent they will make products they know will sell but how can they make sales from people with darker skin if there are no products for them to purchase at all? In a way they do owe it to them though everyone deserves to feel included and if they can't bring themselves to do that why bring out a makeup line it's like any beauty brand with laughable shade ranges, if they aren't going to cater to people of a darker complexion don't go into the business, that narrative may have worked decades ago but it's 2019 people are boycotting brands for lack of inclusivity and I think that's fair. As for the starting shade range I agree you don't have to come out with the 40 shades Fenty did but it's a poor excuse to say they'll add more shades as time goes on they should have a baseline of maybe 10-15 make a very dark, dark, tan, light and very fair shades even if it isn't for every undertone at least it shows they were a thought and not just left out because they think it'll flop.
@@saraho92 This is across the board though I'm not trying to say your problem isn't valid but you have more chance of finding your shade in both drugstore and high end than someone of say Nyma Tang's complexion has and people say go to Fenty, while they are a good idea not everyone has that money to spend on foundation. I know nobody is forcing anyone but it'd be good for the option to buy it.
Thank you for the review. On your youthful skin, the coverage is so perfect. I personally intend to purchase it and use it as an all-over skin enhancer or as primer over a heavier foundation. I will be wearing it over a clear oil free sunscreen (la Roche Posay or Chantecaille).
Fleur - one of the ONLY original TH-camrs not to be a sell-out. Yes, I know she does do more Ad's now...But I truly believe she wouldn't be a sell-out just cause someone is waving a cheque at her. She's literally the ONLY TH-camr left who's opinion I still trust. Well her and pixiwoo as they are also very honest about products. Shame the others turned into such fake sell-outs (tanya, zoella, Estee etc etc) Thank you fleur, for always being honest about products. Even when the opinion is unpopular. It's why I think many of us still trust you. Please never change.
Just got mine today I tried a bit but have a full face already done from the morning so I wont find out until tomorrow! Ugh every time you say it was 48 pounds I WISH It was $48 CAD here. It costs $85+ Tax (15%) in Canada which is even more insane. My next try will definitely be the Sublimage Le Teint Ultimate radiance generating cream foundation (try saying that 10x fast) and I want to compare and see which one I prefer (unfortunately that one is $100 more so I expect better coverage and more radiance!!)
It reminds me of Coty Sun shimmer from years ago. With rest of your make-up it looked really nice. This would probably nice as a holiday foundation, when you have a bit of a tan and just want to perfect it. Your makeup always looks lovely though 😄 x
Hello Esty here. Spf in sunscreen is actually not enough to protect you with the best coverage. You are suppose to have a separate sunscreen and then you all your makeup. There are brands that have spf setting sprays to keep your re applying spf through out the day
I think you should put the product directly on the brush and blend it onto your skin because the foundation works whenever it meets the skin, so when you put it on your hand and use the brush to kinda pick up the product, most of the product might already rest on your hand :s
Hi Fleur, just an idea, how about you put it on your face first then blend it with brush or beauty blender? Just because the pigment technology thing that you mentioned. Because I can see when you tried it on your hand but not when you put it on your face. Love ya by the way
With this kind of watery product, hands are the best tool and waste nothing. Chanel Brush (included) will finish up the product faster (good for Chanel though hehehe)
oh i am so glad that video you ave made today for this today! I will definitely try it as i already saw the end result from you and instead of thinking or worrying "hmmm.... spend such money on a product that I AM NOT QUITE SURE??" ... thanks alot love your chanel as always xxx
I liked the look you achieved with this foundation. It was not too 'obvious' at all. A lot of people (eg men!) would not realise you had a foundation on. Could you do a review of your opinions on the Boy makeup? Maybe you could test it on Mike, if he is brave enough?! I am hearing wildly different thoughts about it, so your input would be appreciated.
Aplicarlo con la brocha es de total importancia ya que es la única que puede romper las partículas de forma correcta y dar el acabado deseado 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
You have remained so humble fleur.. It's youtubers like you, who I want to just keep doing well because you deserve it so much. You obviously have money, but you don't brag or boast or act unrelateable at all. And you never have done. I have watched you for so many years and always appreciated that you were so classy and never bragged about being well off. If anything you sometimes play it down, which is a true sign of class. Then there's people like Estee Lalonde and Lydia Elise, who don't understand the meaning of the word humble. I used to be subscribed to both, but I can't bare to watch them now. Especially Lydia, fakest personality on TH-cam by a mile. Absolutely odious woman.
What nail polish are you wearing?Love the colour I'm not a fan of the Chanel foundation as I tried a sample and it made me break out Love your videos as always xxxxx
I’ve been watching your videos for so many years and I really enjoy your honest reviews about the beauty products especially nowadays when many TH-camrs are asked to review a product, it’s hard to believe what they are saying. However, you’ve always been genuine and honest, I would like to thank you for that throughout the years this is what a real TH-camrs should be. I’m glad you are keeping it 100% real. I love how it looked on you, and it’s worth trying it out especially for summer time when it’s too hot to wear a full foundation and enjoy our own skin with a little bit of coverage. Awesome review.
Fleur.. I have been following you for years when you 1rst started & just came back to TH-cam.. .. I want to try this foundation .. going to Neiman Marcus to try to see if I’m I can match my skin tone .. the brush doesn’t bother me as I’ll use it for travel or when I go out .. I think ur better w/ ur fingers .. I think it looks great on you !!! Natural looking.. ty for sharing & always looking fabulous as always!!!!
I have read before that Spf in foundation doesn’t protect your skin as you don’t use enough of the project to to get the amount of spf needed. Is this true?
I'm curious to know if you would need less pumps if you didn't use a brush or beauty blender to put it on your face, but just at the end for final blending. 🤷♀️
You keep saying that the beautyblender sucks it up but then you keep using it? Why not apply with your fingers? If it's a watery texture it's evidently going to be absorbed by a sponge! I mean do you apply your serum with a beautyblender? Seriously though not the smartest review
Hi Fleur! I love your videos - I loved the one where you were a tourist in your own city! I was hoping you could do a "London Guide" video with must-see, eat and do things in the city. For example: what is your best high tea for value? You mentioned it in your last video!
I can see it took away a little bit of the redness on your face after apply the foundation, so it gave that fresh look. I agree that this is something people would want to wear during summer. Coverage seems super thin, yeah? Well, it did say "tint" haha. Would be perfect for someone with naturally good skin, I guess. Just the thought of the price (48 pounds) for 30 ml, and you had to pump 6 times on your face every time; is just scary.
I actually really like the look of this. I don't understand why they would put it in such heavy bottle and require the brush to be bought with it. This seems like the perfect every day/ travel makeup item and the packaging is acting like it's a super high end foundation you pull out for special events. I really want to try this but don't know if I can justify doing so when everything surrounding the actual product I want is spiking up the price and more cumbersome.
I work for Chanel cosmetics.

Agathe J ye I agree xx

What nail polish is on your nails!? The colour is stunning!!!!

I can’t believe she’s still making videos. I watched her literally more than five years ago and completely forgot about her.

X you can def see it on your skin. I love how natural your skin looks after just applying that. It gives you a radiant glow. I will be buying! Thankyou fir the review.
I love the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua as well so this new product made me very interested.
Perhaps you can try applying it with your fingers since it's so watery. The brush and the sponge just takes so much away.
Anyway, more power to your channel!!!
I've been using this for about a week now, and I prefer using my hands instead of the brush as I find I use less product and get a bit more "coverage" (still not really any coverage, but I can see it on my skin). I use 2-3 pumps and rub it between my hands before applying to my face. You have to work the product a bit on your face to get the pigment and gel to properly mix, but I like it better
me too!
I'm in love with this product! It looks sooo healthy looking and I get so many compliments on my skin when I ware it. This plus a little concealer, here an there, are perfect combo :) ...oh also, it is for sure best to apply it just with fingers. Then you use sooo less product, and you can even layer it, I tried it and looks very good...
*Who else loves her style?* 👌🏼😍❤️🌿
Love from a smoll youtuber🌹
Pastel Julia :*:・゚ I love everything about her, her attitude , ambition , work really everything ❤️
Only one...!! Always . Genuine. Classy. Deeeeelightful!✨✨✨✨
Best of luck to you...just wanted to let you know that you keep copying and pasting the same typo, seen it a couple of times now 🤓
God, I know that’s no where near a foundation that someone who wants coverage would want, but damn if it’s not freaking gorgeous on your face! You look amazing in the camera. I’m the person that will let my spots show through my make up and not really care. Love you always 💕
I left your channel when it was overwhelmed with baby content (not a criticism, just wasn't able to relate)-- but you continue to be an honest, high-quality, informative beauty reviewer. I so appreciate how well you describe products, especially a product so expensive that I wouldn't want to take a gamble on. As someone who is super pale, this product actually sounds really perfect for me (aside from missing SPF)- I don't want anything too dramatic! Going to pick this up based on your review. Thanks, Fleur!
Its super sheer but your skin looks amazing after you've applied it. Dewy and fresh with a tint of bronze! love this product already!
Thank you so much for checking this out. I’m kind of curious about the product but I think I’ll wait to see a few more reviews before I decide whether I want to try it myself.
Fluer,please do more vlogs!
It makes your skin Look amazing
As someone who never wears foundation anymore it sounds like the one foundation-like product that I would still like to use. Problem is the price (its way too much) and my sensitive skin. I get breakouts from Phenoxyethanol. Which is why I had to stop using the Chanel powder I once bought. :/
I use this as a lazy weekend tint, and for work with vitalumiere aqua on top..also I mix the product with the little brush until texture changes, then apply..x
So lovely to hear a critical review and wear test. Miss these from the golden years of the youtube beauty gurus. Lovely job Fleur!
I’ve tried the Chanel foundation that came out just before this one and am already craving another purchase 😂I’ll have to try some when I next pass the counter xxx
I work at a makeup store and the brush is there because you are meant to apply it with that brush specifically. Otherwise it won’t work properly! The beauty blender soaks it up because the product is 75% made of water.
I recently saw this product on an article when comparing the foundation that Princess Diana used to wear. I can see how it would be comparable, just like Diana your skin looks fresh and young and healthy
I’ve watched a couple of other videos on this product and it seems that you have to pump it onto the brush and then apply to the face which will break the balls, I think it looks stunning, you may find that you don’t need so many pumps using this technique 😘😘
It looks lovely on you. Your rings are beautiful!
I think it will work perfect on try skin. I always have the problem to find something very watery so it hydrates the skin and also give a little bit of coverage. I think it's a very good alternative for the chanel vitalumier (not the aqua version). Thank you!
It looks lovely and glad to hear it doesn't have much of a scent. It should have SPF though you are right. They do have a wonderful sheer SPF that would probably work fabulous underneath that. Perhaps a primer underneath would be helpful too. Thanks for the review and have a great day!
I think you look great. It’s a pretty, natural glow. Would I buy it, no. I have heard it only lasts about 4 hours but I always find that variable. On you, it looks lovely.
I disagree with your comment about the shade range it shouldn’t matter whether you can pass off another shade as your match or not it’s 2019 and these huge multimillionaire brands are still not being inclusive to deeper skin tones, there’s absolutely no excuse for it anymore. They have the money to invest in formulas and teams that can formulate darker skin shades it’s really ignorant at this point and it’s really just openly saying that they don’t care about a huge group of people.
Its not just darker shades. I am quite pale and there is nothing to suit my skin in Chanel but hey, it's their brand. No one is forcing anyone to buy it. Also you may notice, brow products for red heads are near impossible to find... it is just the way it is and allows brands which do cater to light/dark skintones to grab a larger share of the market.
No single company, big or small, owes it to any one to have a product available for them. They are just making shades that they anticipate will sell best. Based on historical sales of their other products. They've made a business decision to not explore new markets, that's up to them. Are they loosing out? Probably. Are they avoiding waste? Maybe. I highly doubt they make these decisions purely in order to exclude people with certain skin colour.
Also it's a new priduct so i suspect if it does well in terms of sales, the shade range will be expanded. It makes no sense to bring out 20+ shades of a product if it turns out to be a flop.
Only a white person would say this.. it is not fun to feel left out, excluded, or not “good enough” for Chanel. Please, I implore you to check yourself.
@@jfb919 I understand what you're saying to an extent they will make products they know will sell but how can they make sales from people with darker skin if there are no products for them to purchase at all? In a way they do owe it to them though everyone deserves to feel included and if they can't bring themselves to do that why bring out a makeup line it's like any beauty brand with laughable shade ranges, if they aren't going to cater to people of a darker complexion don't go into the business, that narrative may have worked decades ago but it's 2019 people are boycotting brands for lack of inclusivity and I think that's fair.
As for the starting shade range I agree you don't have to come out with the 40 shades Fenty did but it's a poor excuse to say they'll add more shades as time goes on they should have a baseline of maybe 10-15 make a very dark, dark, tan, light and very fair shades even if it isn't for every undertone at least it shows they were a thought and not just left out because they think it'll flop.
@@saraho92 This is across the board though I'm not trying to say your problem isn't valid but you have more chance of finding your shade in both drugstore and high end than someone of say Nyma Tang's complexion has and people say go to Fenty, while they are a good idea not everyone has that money to spend on foundation. I know nobody is forcing anyone but it'd be good for the option to buy it.
Thank you for the review. On your youthful skin, the coverage is so perfect. I personally intend to purchase it and use it as an all-over skin enhancer or as primer over a heavier foundation. I will be wearing it over a clear oil free sunscreen (la Roche Posay or Chantecaille).
I love when you review products. X
Vitalumiere Aqua is now £37?! I used to buy it for £28, they’re taking the mickey
I know! I thought that when I looked it up! It’s gone up in price so much since it launched!!!
It looks so great on you!! Super glowy!!
Fleur - one of the ONLY original TH-camrs not to be a sell-out.
Yes, I know she does do more Ad's now...But I truly believe she wouldn't be a sell-out just cause someone is waving a cheque at her.
She's literally the ONLY TH-camr left who's opinion I still trust. Well her and pixiwoo as they are also very honest about products. Shame the others turned into such fake sell-outs (tanya, zoella, Estee etc etc)
Thank you fleur, for always being honest about products. Even when the opinion is unpopular. It's why I think many of us still trust you. Please never change.
Just got mine today I tried a bit but have a full face already done from the morning so I wont find out until tomorrow! Ugh every time you say it was 48 pounds I WISH It was $48 CAD here. It costs $85+ Tax (15%) in Canada which is even more insane. My next try will definitely be the Sublimage Le Teint Ultimate radiance generating cream foundation (try saying that 10x fast) and I want to compare and see which one I prefer (unfortunately that one is $100 more so I expect better coverage and more radiance!!)
Re spf you should already have an spf on before applying makeup
Elizabeth Diston Fact. 😊❤️💄 You'd have to put on wayyyyyy too much of a foundation for it to do the job.
Maybe they are competing with the ByTerry CC Serum - have you tried it? Could you do a comparison?
I always trust your reviews and appreciate it when you review an expensive product, so helpful. Thank you!
I really like the look of this "foundation" on your skin! It looks great. Have you tried the Glossier skin tint? if yes, how does the two compare?
It reminds me of Coty Sun shimmer from years ago. With rest of your make-up it looked really nice. This would probably nice as a holiday foundation, when you have a bit of a tan and just want to perfect it. Your makeup always looks lovely though 😄 x
The texture of the foundation reminds me how to the ale vera gel reacts with foundation...
Hello Esty here. Spf in sunscreen is actually not enough to protect you with the best coverage. You are suppose to have a separate sunscreen and then you all your makeup. There are brands that have spf setting sprays to keep your re applying spf through out the day
Your skin looked no different at all...until you have to use concealer all over.
They only need one shade as it is invisible
What’s on your nails please!! ❤️
I think you should put the product directly on the brush and blend it onto your skin because the foundation works whenever it meets the skin, so when you put it on your hand and use the brush to kinda pick up the product, most of the product might already rest on your hand :s
I think I would use it as a primer, what do you think?
Andreia Pinheiro maybe that’ would work better xx
Hi Fleur, just an idea, how about you put it on your face first then blend it with brush or beauty blender? Just because the pigment technology thing that you mentioned. Because I can see when you tried it on your hand but not when you put it on your face. Love ya by the way
With this kind of watery product, hands are the best tool and waste nothing. Chanel Brush (included) will finish up the product faster (good for Chanel though hehehe)
oh i am so glad that video you ave made today for this today! I will definitely try it as i already saw the end result from you and instead of thinking or worrying "hmmm.... spend such money on a product that I AM NOT QUITE SURE??" ... thanks alot love your chanel as always xxx
Wondering how it would apply with fingertips! You have great skin, I don’t think this would be enough for me at all x
I liked the look you achieved with this foundation. It was not too 'obvious' at all. A lot of people (eg men!) would not realise you had a foundation on. Could you do a review of your opinions on the Boy makeup? Maybe you could test it on Mike, if he is brave enough?! I am hearing wildly different thoughts about it, so your input would be appreciated.
Aplicarlo con la brocha es de total importancia ya que es la única que puede romper las partículas de forma correcta y dar el acabado deseado 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Though it looks like it's light coverage, your skin very glowy after application. It's looks simple but very fresh. I like it.
You have remained so humble fleur..
It's youtubers like you, who I want to just keep doing well because you deserve it so much.
You obviously have money, but you don't brag or boast or act unrelateable at all. And you never have done. I have watched you for so many years and always appreciated that you were so classy and never bragged about being well off. If anything you sometimes play it down, which is a true sign of class.
Then there's people like Estee Lalonde and Lydia Elise, who don't understand the meaning of the word humble. I used to be subscribed to both, but I can't bare to watch them now. Especially Lydia, fakest personality on TH-cam by a mile. Absolutely odious woman.
Think I might try this but not sure what shade to get .... what are you wearing on your lips? It's a gorgeous colour.
What nail polish are you wearing?Love the colour
I'm not a fan of the Chanel foundation as I tried a sample and it made me break out
Love your videos as always xxxxx
I’m in love with this tint, for me one drop is enough:)
I’ve been watching your videos for so many years and I really enjoy your honest reviews about the beauty products especially nowadays when many TH-camrs are asked to review a product, it’s hard to believe what they are saying. However, you’ve always been genuine and honest, I would like to thank you for that throughout the years this is what a real TH-camrs should be. I’m glad you are keeping it 100% real. I love how it looked on you, and it’s worth trying it out especially for summer time when it’s too hot to wear a full foundation and enjoy our own skin with a little bit of coverage. Awesome review.
Fleur.. I have been following you for years when you 1rst started & just came back to TH-cam.. .. I want to try this foundation .. going to Neiman Marcus to try to see if I’m I can match my skin tone .. the brush doesn’t bother me as I’ll use it for travel or when I go out .. I think ur better w/ ur fingers .. I think it looks great on you !!! Natural looking.. ty for sharing & always looking fabulous as always!!!!
Do you like to make a review about the metioned Becca products?
Your reviews are the best! This was not rushed and really thorough x
I have read before that Spf in foundation doesn’t protect your skin as you don’t use enough of the project to to get the amount of spf needed. Is this true?
I'm curious to know if you would need less pumps if you didn't use a brush or beauty blender to put it on your face, but just at the end for final blending. 🤷♀️
You keep saying that the beautyblender sucks it up but then you keep using it? Why not apply with your fingers? If it's a watery texture it's evidently going to be absorbed by a sponge! I mean do you apply your serum with a beautyblender? Seriously though not the smartest review
Thanks for the review, Fleur! I have been curious about this product.
Hi Fleur! I love your videos - I loved the one where you were a tourist in your own city! I was hoping you could do a "London Guide" video with must-see, eat and do things in the city. For example: what is your best high tea for value? You mentioned it in your last video!
May I ask the lipstick and the concealer?
They look amazing!
I can see it took away a little bit of the redness on your face after apply the foundation, so it gave that fresh look. I agree that this is something people would want to wear during summer.
Coverage seems super thin, yeah? Well, it did say "tint" haha. Would be perfect for someone with naturally good skin, I guess.
Just the thought of the price (48 pounds) for 30 ml, and you had to pump 6 times on your face every time; is just scary.
Thank you for your reviews Fleur! Always appreciate your honesty.
I’m curious how this would be on my crazy dry skin during the winter...and applied with your hands
I love the fact that your reviews are so honest and not swayed by the name! It’s nice to see you have stuck to your roots and not changed!!
I actually really like the look of this. I don't understand why they would put it in such heavy bottle and require the brush to be bought with it. This seems like the perfect every day/ travel makeup item and the packaging is acting like it's a super high end foundation you pull out for special events. I really want to try this but don't know if I can justify doing so when everything surrounding the actual product I want is spiking up the price and more cumbersome.
Hi Fleur, just wondering what concealer you used when you were trying this? Thanks x
How would you compare it to the Chanel les beiges sheer healthy glow moisturizing tint?
