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

You take the most beautiful pictures!
I haven't tried any of the Chanel foundations because I'm afraid that the smell will irritate my eyes. I have the most sensitive skin & eyes. I am dying to though. Maybe I will have to take that chance.
you look gorgeous and you have gorgeous skin!
i have the chanel teint innocence foundation. i got it during the summer and as much as i wanted to love it... it just didnt work for me... it oxidizes on me and made me look orange =(... i thought it looked better as they day got on when i wore it because it sort of faded =(... I also find the packaging annoying too. But i'm glad this works for you =).

thank you for your comment on my blog..can i just say you are absolutly beautiful and im sooo glad i found your blog :) x
great review, you are looking lovely as ever - missed your posts xx
@GiGi, I would not recommend this foundation as my first choice. I probably would have your try the Chanel Pro Lumiere or the Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer or MAC Face and Body Foundation. Those are what I grab for all the time. xxN
@Linda Phuong Tran, This foundation wasn't my favourite from the Chanel family, but I tried applying it with different tools. Its staying power is so-so. I am in agreement about the packaging, specifically the opening. Thanks for the compliment :) xxN
@tiffany, You are welcome Tiffany and thank you, I'm glad you came across my blog and are enjoying the posts. It means a lot. xxNadia
I am dying to though. Maybe I will have to take that chance.

i have a sample of this and its so very sheer your right, i can only wear it when i am a little tanned otherwise my pink cheeks show through too much :)
Love nars sheer glow though - have u had a chance to try that out yet?
xx
I love Chanel foundations...I haven't tried this one yet but I'm a huge fan of the Vitalumiere & more recently the ProLumiere. Oh & I always buy at duty-free:)
@Lizzclare, I find this Chanel Foundation a little too sheer. I haven't tried the Nars Sheer Glow as of yet. xxN
@Monica, I totally forgot about getting Chanel at Duty Free!! I use the VitaLumiere in the summer. My favourite is still the ProLumiere. xxN
You're 2 gorgeous !!!! hehehe
I love the look of that foundation but i am always put off buying a new foundation when i find one that works as i can never seem to find the right shade for my skin :s
No i'm not one of those tide marked girls that doesn't blend ;) xx
I have never tried Chanel foundations but I do have some of their eyeshadow. I do want to try the teint innocence, it looks good on you!

You look so beautiful and your skin is always amazing :) I've come to love Chanel products more and more the past year. I think it was Pixiwoo who first got me interested in Chanel. My holy grail loose powder is from Chanel and is to die for! I love their foundations as well, but I'm starting to like foundation with more coverage so I might try out the pro lumiere.
Love your blog posts! ♥
You are so beautiful! Great Skin! I am all about having, achieving, or faking great skin! I will have to try this product! Thank you for the recommendation...xo
I've been considering buying this foundation for a while but have put it off because it's not exactly inexpensive! after reading your review I think I'll definitely give it a try - not least of all because it looks absolutely gorgeous on you (though I think that may have something to do with your ridiculously perfect skin!)
