About a month ago I purchased the
Chanel Teint Innocence Fluid Makeup Spf 12 in shade 20 Claire-Cameo and have been using it off and on. For a 1 oz. bottle I paid about $50.00 Cdn. I first discovered this product from one of my gal pals Michelle from
MupNorth who sent me a surprise package in the mail which included a sample of this foundation. I tried it and noticed the quality that of this makeup is great. The Chanel Teint Innocence went on really smooth and blended easily. I find that in general Chanel foundations are beautifully formulated and glide effortessly onto a well exfoliated and moisturized face. This foundation was no exception.
When it comes to Chanel products I have to admit that I consider myself a late bloomer. I have tried Chanel skincare through samples that I have received over the years but never really made it a point of going to a Chanel makeup counter and making a purchase. Last spring all that changed. I have since purchased and fallen in love with several of their products which I use everyday. I will leave that for another post.
Chanel Teint Innocence Foundation is described as a fluid that is naturally luminous with a dream coverage and an Spf12. The description is correct, however I did find it to be a tad on the sheer side and it was a little more challenging to build up the coverage if more was needed in certain areas. It also has a slight perfume scent to it. When I apply this foundation I always apply a little more than I normally would in order to get the coverage that I prefer. The tools that I use for application are my fingers and a slightly damp non-latex makeup wedge.
I would recommend this foundation to anyone who wants a sheer, natural coverage. I can definitely see myself using this foundation during the summer months when a light makeup look is what I want to achieve. If you do use the Chanel Teint Innocence I would recommend setting it with a powder using a large fluffy makeup brush or with a dry makeup wedge pressing some translucent powder onto your face where you normally would get grimey first then brushing off the excess. I've included a picture of myself wearing this foundation.
Have any of you used this foundation? What's your take on this foundation? I always appreciate your comments and read each and every one of them.
Thanks for stopping by. xxNadia
