Les Beiges de Chanel - Healthy Glow Sheer Powder

I’m not sure if I’d been living under a rock, but this powder only came to my attention a year ago! Naturally, since this was Chanel and limited edition to boot, it was sold out practically everywhere, at least in my shade. Luckily, however, Chanel decided to bring this back last September and I was finally able to get my hands on it.

Let’s start with the obvious. As all Chanel products, the packaging of this powder is LUXE. I love the beige lid, making it stand out from the normal collection packaging. It has the normal mirror inside and a little brush that would facilitate powdering when out and about – although I haven’t actually tried using the brush that this comes with, I suppose it would work in a pinch.

The shade I’m currently using is 30 and although it can look quite dark in the pan, it applies sheerer, as can be seen on the swatch - you can barely make it out on my hand! That said though, if you wanted to have a light makeup day, this powder could be applied over moisturiser for a sheer wash of colour just to give you a bit of a glow (as the name suggests!). Although this powder is quite finely milled, it can look quite powdery if you’re not careful, so please, use a light hand.

Having had this for over a year now, I can say that this powder works in all seasons. In the summer, the shade I got works wonderfully as a powder and in the winter when I’m quite a bit paler, it works as a great contour.

All in all, another great offering from Chanel and one I will definitely repurchase!
