Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15

Price: $45
Where: Chanel, Nordstrom, etc.

Pros:
I found that the best way to apply this foundation is putting a pea to dime sized drop on your fingers and dot it along your face and blend it out afterward. This foundation seriously feels like water. It dries to the most beautiful natural skin look (matte-ish) and you honestly can't tell I have makeup on. I have friends who even ask me if I have makeup on or not. The coverage this foundation gives is light-medium. I actually enjoy a lighter coverage because I am a huge fan of natural looking makeup. I have some acne scars around my mouth area and I have to say, this does not fully cover it. After you put this foundation over the scars, the scars are less noticeable but not invisible (maybe 50% reduction in appearance?) and I actually enjoy this coverage. I go out with just this foundation and no concealer over my scars. I feel like if I were to fully cover my scars, it would look more cakey and not natural so this is exactly the coverage I need. Remember less is more! I don't use primer or set it afterwards and I find it lasts decently well for a whole day for my combination-dry winter skin.


Cons:
If you have dry skin or flakes, this foundation might make your flakes noticeable (as with any foundation) but that's where moisturizer comes in! I personally have oily skin in the summer and combination-dry skin in the winter and the Fall/Winter time is the perfect time for this foundation. I feel like if I were to use this in the summer, it would melt off my face.


Recommend to: Anyone without dry flakes

Rating: 9/10 (Just because I probably can't wear this in the summer but I haven't tried it yet so don't take my word for it!)

Repurchase? YES! (It is so worth it!)

Note:
I have the shade N30 (My MAC shade is NC25) and this is a tadddddd bit darker but it's not noticeable (unless you look reallyyy closely). I don't mind it because then this foundation can be used when I get a tadddd darker.

I got this foundation as a gift for my birthday. This isn't a foundation I would typically purchase on my own. To be completely honest, I don't think I would have ever purchased this foundation with my own money. Even though I am a foundation junkie, I only buy foundations that cost up to $15 and after using this product, I feel like I can never go back to lower end foundations again.
