description

A longwearing, sheer-to-medium coverage foundation that glides onto skin with an even, velvet-smooth matte finish and ultra-lightweight texture for a natural-looking result.

I love this. It makes my mature skin look fresh and natural. Lasts for a good long time on my face. May not be transfer proof but is transfer resistant. I wear B 30 and it really is a good match...

I have tried pretty much most foundations on the market, but I generally have avoided Chanel because I remember the colours as just been too neutral for my liking. I like a more yellow based tone....

My absolute favourite foundation and a rare reformulation (in its previous incarnation it was known as 'Perfection Lumiere Velvet') that has actually improved on its predecessor. I have extremely...
