Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet


Simple, soft and moisturising: These are the three things I always look for in an everyday, non-heavy coverage foundation. Believe it or not, it's actually very hard for find a foundation like this!
Luckily enough, and after a great deal of searching, I found that this foundation is exactly what I've been looking for.
Perfection Lumiere Velvet has become one of my all time favourite foundations, but not without a little bit of drama along the way.
When I first bought this foundation it took me a few attempts before I learnt how to apply it properly. As it's so light and liquidy, I found it hard to fully cover my problem areas such as my cheeks and nose. Applying it with a foundation brush simply didn't do it! Yet, after a little while, I realised that if I dab some of the foundation on those areas with my fingertips, it stays on a lot better.
Once I got to grips with its texture and how to apply it, I immediately started to completely love this foundation. The fact that's it's so soft means that it glides on and it's actually super quick to apply. Something I also love is that it doesn't leave your makeup brushes feeling grubby and in need of a wash after only one use.

The foundation itself leaves your skin looking really smooth and glowy: as its name suggests, this foundation is very velvety.
As it provides a sheer coverage, your natural skin tone isn't completely taken over by the colour of the foundation.
The pictures below show how Velvet Perfection Lumiere looks on my skin.



As you can see, my facial redness is completely covered and no blemishes can be seen.
The fact that this foundation covers my problem areas without drying out my skin or feeling really heavy on my face makes me absolutely love it!
