Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup - B10 // REVIEW

 Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup* - B10

Hey guys! I hope that you all had a great Easter. Sorry for my lack of posts in the last couple of weeks - I was away for five days and kind of fell of the blogging bandwagon! Today I am here with my review of the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup, which I have talked about a few times recently!

This had always interested me, as I had heard many people saying how great it is, so when I was kindly sent it I was extremely excited to say the least. I am definitely one to prefer light foundation or BB creams, as they allow my skin to breath whilst helping to smooth it out and give it a little colour, which is exactly what Vitalumiere Aqua does and more!

The coverage is light, however it is quite different to any foundation I've owned before - forgetting the coverage, it gives a glow and just makes my skin look healthier and, well, much better. Since Vitalumiere Aqua is water based, the formulation is extremely light and smooth, making it great for those with normal to dry skin! The water base helps to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day and stops it clinging to small dry patches on application! It has a natural, velvet finish, which actually often results in me not even needing to use any powder!

It is easily buildable, without going cakey, which is definitely a plus if you like to play around with coverage levels! I wouldn't say that this is a foundation for people with porcelain or very pale complexions, as it is has quite a yellow undertone which could be too strong or dark for some people. I wear the shade B10, the lightest shade in the range, but I did find it a tiny bit too dark for me during the winter! Since the sun has come out on the odd occasion though, and given me a little bit of colour, it is the perfect shade for me!

It contains SPF 15, which gives you a great reason to wear this during the Summer! The lasting power is pretty outstanding too! I've applied this at 9am in the morning and it has still remained almost completely there over 12 hours later.

Whilst Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua is definitely quite an expensive product, at £33 for the 30ml bottle, it would be the perfect pick-me-up for yourself or as a special treat! This is definitely very close to becoming my holy grail foundation, as I always find myself coming back to it and find it very hard to fault it. Yet again another amazing Chanel product!
