Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation - Look Out Mineral Powders!!!

Chanel's Vitalumiere's Aqua Foundation is Simply Fabulous!!!

I am not a liquid foundation fan, but Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua has be considering other options.  It is very light weight, oil free.  I have found that a little goes a long way and the color match for me is phenomenal  - one of the best if not the best I've seen!  I've been wearing this foundation for a week now and so I've had a full week or work make up as well as, outdoor activity and the foundation wears well throughout the day.  I have noticed a slight settling or drying out throughout the day.  It's not a show stopper by any means and it could be due to the fact that I have very dry skin and it is oil free.

AND...the foundation does not transfer onto paperwork via fingertips as has happened to me on more than one occasion with other liquid foundations.  Don't know about you, but I find this really embarrassing...let's face it, we all want to be beautiful but want everyone to think it's natural :)

I would consider this foundation for my standard foundation which is screaming volumes, because, again, I am not a liquid foundation fan at all.  I have tried them all and I always seem to go back to mineral powders, but I could see myself wearing Vitalumiere.


Vitalumiere Aqua comes in two undertones:  pink and yellow.  The yellow is yellow beige tones and the pink is pink-beige tones.  The foundation comes in 9 foundation tones total (see below).  I was very surprised and disappointed that Chanel did not make tones for those with darker skin tones.  They seem to have fallen short here.


I especially like the light weight, plastic bottle it comes in.  It has a dropper top which has to be much more conducive to fighting potential bacteria that could occur with the more traditional bottles.  Chanel recommends shaking the product before using as one would any liquid foundation.


I also like the fact that the foundation is oil free and has SPF15.
