PERFECTION LUMIÈRE VELVET Smooth-Effect Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen

Love this product. I'm in my 50's and it is so hard to find makeup that won't settle in the pores and lines on my face. This is the first one I have found that works for my skin. I have tired La Mer, Giorgio Armani, it cosmetics, bare minerals, Lancôme, cover girl, maybelline, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Jane iredale. Some of them were CC creams. I spent so much time researching on the internet and finally found this from a makeup review on YouTube. This product is not thick and easy to apply to your face and does not dry out my skin like so many of the other products I have tried. Love this and will be buying it from now on.

This foundation goes on smooth with my fingers. It's a liquid but becomes a powdery, silky foundation and is so light, I can't feel it on. I can wear it all day and do not get that shiny nose and chin that I hate! This is the first foundation that I have worn that does not make my combination skin, shiny in the T-zone. I love it.

I love this foundation! It is so light but has great coverage. It covers flaws well but looks very natural. My T-zone stays non-shiny all day. Never looks chalky or "overdone." I would recommend this to anyone with normal to oily skin. I don't know how it would do on dry skin.

I have been looking for the perfect Chanel foundation but this isn't it. I am 55 years old and have combination skin. After washing my face my skin feels dry but throughout the day it gets oily. This was the third Chanel foundation I tried and would give up on the brand but they have the perfect color for my fair skin with pink undertones. Other brands that I have tried may wear better but they don't look as good because they usually have yellow undertones. I tried this one after watching a YouTube video "Hot & **) she is my age sounded like her skin was the same and she rated it as her #1 in the video I watched. I love the way this foundation goes on and smells. It covered well and looked great when first applied but it does make dry areas stand out and I looked like a hot mess within a few hours. While at a Nordstoms the Chanel woman told my friend and I that this foundation is only good for people with perfect skin and I would show every little line. She recommended the Les Beiges. I tried it and it was okay but within a few hours my skin looked to oily and every pore showed. My search is still on. Any suggestions?

I learned of this foundation through YouTube! I thought I would give it a shot, I purchased my first bottle sometime ago, and I just love it it's the best foundation ever! Just recently purchased my second bottle I will never use anything else!!

i purchased this because i heard it was good for mature skin. i've tried it several times with different moisturizer, primers, face base without much luck. it is very drying. it looks ok when applied but after a couple of hours my face looks all dried out. you can see the dry patches of skin clearly. there's not much product so i'll just use it up! so far my favorite foundation for dry skin is makeupforever HD plus in stick formula applied with a damp beauty blender over some nivea mens after shave balm and a spritz of smash box primer water.

I tried this based on some of the great reviews. I have mature combination skin that tends to get shiny on the nose but then dry on the chin area. I need to wear a decent moisturizer to combat dry skin and then I use an oil free primer to help foundation stay longer. I tried applying this foundation with my fingers and also with a beauty blender. Either way didn't provide enough coverage and also never really set well on my nose but stayed glowy. When I tried to set with a powder, it also didn't set but actually caked up and took the shiny Chanel right off - had a blend of mess. I hoped this would work nicely for me but it didn't. Not sure if using no primer or a different primer, or no moisturizer would have worked better but it took me a long time to figure out a decent combination of products to calm and keep my dry skin at bay so I'm not inclined to change that to make a foundation work for me. Hopefully it might work better for a different base of products but it doesn't play well with mine.

2nd time I bought it so that should speak for itself. I have very oily skin & this foundation lasts longer than any others that I have used. Similar to Estée Lauder Double Wear Light, but the matte finish looks more natural and keeps back oil longer. If you have very oily skin like I do you know that there is no foundation that holds back oil all day. This doesn't either, but with powder to set after application (I like Laura Mercier Setting Powder) & touch ups during the day (NYX Matte Powder my fave & it's less than $10 unfortunately it isn't sold at Nordy's not an upscale brand) you will have a beautiful face all day.

I got a sample from the SA at my local Nordstrom in the color 30 same as the Perfection Lumiere (NARS Sheer glow I use the color Stromboli & MUFE HD I use the color 123). The Chanel perfection lumiere velvet is perfect for those with combination skin. I set my foundation w/ a loose powder & setting spray and I am good to go. The foundation has a matte-luminous finish & it stays matte longer than expected; however, I did blott once mid afternoon. It also has the lovely Chanel scent like the other foundations do. I love, love this foundation and will definitely buy it.

I have looked hard for the perfect foundation for a woman over 50 and this is it. I get so many compliments from my family about my makeup with them not knowing I had switched to this! Love it

I'm always on the lookout for my holy grail foundation. I have finally found it. This formulation goes on smoothly using just my fingers. Can be easily built up on my more troublesome areas, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. I only have to blot my T-zone a couple of times throughout the day (rare for me), and the coverage and color stays true till I remove my makeup at bedtime. The finish is soft and looks very natural...highly recommend.

I have struggled with acne and dark spots since I was a teen, but this foundation is the ONLY one that covers everything without looking like I have a pound of make up on my face. It looks so natural in pictures, and I recommend this to everyone. I get compliments all the time about how clear my skin looks. Its worth it!
