Le Blanc de Chanel Multi-Use Illuminating Base

Having in mind that I have oily skin and always to matify it more and more, I am running away from everything related to foundation, primer and face cream that says illuminating.I really wanted to try this primer. There was something that I was curious about and made me give it a try. I love it! It promises to even the skin and cover the pores and it does it. Another good thing is that the …Read more

I renewed my friendship with my old pal Le Blanc De Chanel, why did we ever break up is beyond me. I am in my early 60's and I mix this with a very small amount of my La Prairie Caviar foundation in Warm Linen(in MAC-speak I am an NC 23ish)the linen works well with my very yellow skin tone, however, I truly feel that ANY decent foundation would be enhanced by using this base. I often use a …Read more

This is elegance in the shape of primer! Not too much highlight just enough... not too much silicone just enough... not too much dewy or matte... just enough.

Chanel knows about elegance. Have been using it since the late 80’s in all it’s successive versions.

I was hesitant about this one. There were mixed reviews but I am SO glad I got this! My pores disappear, the eye shadows vanish and my skin looks amazing. I put this on under my eyes and over face, looked in mirror and thought 'Meh..'. I turned to do something for a minute and when I looked back in the mirror it looked like I'd had a facelift!!! I was well amazed! This is quite …Read more

I used to buy this product when it was in solid form like the Chanel bronzer "Soleil Tan" back in 2006-ish. I still wonder why they changed the formula to liquid, but while it's a totally new product compared to the old one, I love the fact that I can use it to lighten up my different foundations by adding a drop or two, or use it as a base to brighten up my make up. This is my 2nd …Read more

I have been using this for years! But I don't use it all over my face. Only a small dot on each cheekbone then around the cheeks and under the eyes. This puts a slight illumination right where I want it.

It does not do a lot but I really like what it does. Lasts a long time.

I'm not sure what this product is supposed to do, but I like it. It is definitely not a primer in the sense that it doesn't make your makeup last longer, nor does it camouflage pores. It isn't exactly a moisturizer, but for me I guess that is the closest thing I can describe it as. In my mind, this is Chanel's version of Strobe cream by mac.

The product is quite a …Read more

The smell of this product is beautiful and it makes my skin smell amazing.

I love the luminosity and the way it applies.

Here's for the cons... It makes your foundation paler and look a little strange. You have to use a foundation that is a tad too dark for you with this. Another thing to note is it definitely sits on the skin rather than absorbs.

I do …Read more

A luxurious purchase. Love the pump that came with it, disperse out small amount, not too much as you only need little. Used it with with Chanel Perfection Velvet foundation, result is nice, natural glow. Will re-purchase for the luxury feel.

I don't consider this to be a primer in the traditional sense of the word. It does not control sebum, blur your pores or extend the wear of your foundation, nor is it marketed as such. The Chanel MAs use it as a complexion enhancer. It gives your skin a subtle chic glow (Chanel's trademark; see VA, Les Beiges, Joue Contraste blushes) which is the foundation upon which you can build your …Read more
