Wow..What a long name isn't it.This is the review for chanels vitamuliere aqua foundation.Like every girl i go crazy when i hear chanel and given that i had tried one of their powder foundations once which for some reason they discontinued i think cos i couldn't find it anywhere i decided to give this a try. I watch a lot of youtube makeup tutorials and every one kept hyping this foundation i thought i'll just go ahead and give it a try.So on one of my trips i saw a chanel counter n boom i was like yep today is going to be the day lol.I got it and have had it for some months now and this is my take on how its worked for me so far and what i think about it.
PACKAGING-This foundation has really nice packaging which the practical woman in me loves.It comes in a light squeeze tube that is perfect for travelling and makes it easy to dispense product. It contains the standard 30ml of most foundations.
TEXTURE-First of all this foundation is water based so its very liquidy you have to shake it up really well before using or else the pigment separates and you end up with a goopy mess.This is not a moisturizing foundation it is best suited for normal to combination skin,if you have dry skin i suggest you skip this as it has a tendency to accentuate pores and texture issues such as flakiness.
COVERAGE-The coverage is very light and it has this floral scent to it so if you don't like the fragrance in your makeup i suggest you skip this.This is not for people who have any acne marks or blemishes to cover because when they say natural they really mean it its like a teeny bit better than a tinted moisturizer in coverage its for those days when you really don't want to wear too much foundation its a classic everyday foundation.It also contains SPF 15 thus making it suitable as an everyday foundation.
SHADE RANGE-The shade range is very limited too no shades for really dark skinned beauties.It comes in ten(10) shades which are divided into two groups BEIGE (B) and BEIGE ROSE (BR). As the name implies the beige shades are for people with beige undertones while the Beige Rose shades are for people with pink undertones.The shades are-B10,BR12,B20,BR22,B30,BR32,B40,BR42,B50, and BR52.

MY EXPERIENCE- Well,first of all the counter i went to matched me to a shade that was too pink secondly i always forget to do the shake shake thing so it usually separates and i find it hard to blend,thirdly it did not last as i expected it to on my face and did not cover as much as i wanted and the final deal breaker for me was that it broke me out since my skin is sensitive and slightly dry that must be due to the fragrance, alcohol or some ingredient in it.
FINAL THOUGHTS- So far this is my take on this foundation:
BEST FOR-
Those with normal to combination skin without textural issues.
Those who need a light coverage everyday foundation
Those who don't have sensitive skin
Those who don't react to fragrance and alcohol.
Those who are lucky not to have dehydrated skin.
SKIP IF-
You have sensitive, dry or dehydrated skin
You have large pores or flakiness or any textural issues
You don't like fragranced products
You prefer medium to full coverage foundation.

(As you can see after squeezing from the tube without shaking well i got a dollop of the pigment and it looks like lotion)
After slight blending as you can see the shade is a little too pink for me, I was matched to shade 42 Beige Rose.
