Groundbreaking
Anyone remember the almost invisible "melty-ness" of Chanel's tinted veil "Hydramax + Active Teinte"? Overall, this is an improved product - it's REALLY almost impossible to see the product on the skin **in the sun**, less glowing (truly natural finish), better coverage. But this one lasts hours and hours looking exactly the same all day - I've never known a product to literally last all day! Where have you been all my life?!
I called Cindi at Nordstrom Bellevue's Chanel counter; she'd put other really useful products in my hands before. I'd seen the ads and wanted to try this product. I lean toward fair and Cindi advised #3 for my skin based upon the Chanel product I'd been using. I would have tried the lighter 1 or 2, but as I recall they leaned into the pink family.
So long as you get the tone right, (gold or pinky) there's a wide window of light/dark skins each color will truly work on. Again; very unique product. It does not visually "stick" in my pores like most products do. It is not quite as hydrating as the Chanel Active Teinte, but it has a more truly natural finish to it, and stays that way literally all day.
Very dry skin; everything seems to sap moisture from my skin. Nose oily. This stuff seems to even it all out; what I do know is it lasts just as long on the more oily areas as it does on the super dry - how IS this possible?
I do use concealer with this, as it's very very sheer. I could probably use more coverage if I was trying to shake down the look, but I like this so much I just don't see using anything else; I'm awesome enough the way I am with just a smidge tweaked :)
