Hey Everyone!
If you don't know by now, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup is my absolute favourite foundation. Everything about it is lovely and the condition of my skin has a gotten better, not that it was bad before but it's just nicer. The foundation feels like it treats my skin very well and it looks amazing!
Chanel has introduced a new baby in this Vitalumiere Aqua line :)
& I'm so excited!!

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Fresh & Hydrating Cream Compact Makeup
is a water-based formula that blends effortlessly and offers the lightness and radiance of a fluid with the ease and convenience of a compact format. The complexion is immediately hydrated and smoothed, with a look of natural, flawless radiance and a comfortable feel that lasts all day.
This version of the Vitalumiere Aqua makeup is meant to provide slightly more coverage than the Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup (liquid).
While still not full coverage I would rate the liquid foundation as a light-medium coverage foundation, more medium I find even though I use a pea sized amount to cover my whole face.
It's also wonderful that it's creamy and not a powder so it will still give you that natural finish (not matte) and it's water-based NOT oil-based (hence why they call it "aqua") so it's better for your skin.
The great thing about the compact version is that you can just pop it into your bag and not have to worry. Much more convenient than carrying around a bottle of foundation with you, and it's less awkward to pull out a compact than whipping out a bottle.

I must warn you about Chanel's shade range. Chanel's foundations cater more for the lighter-medium skin tones (more light than medium) and their shade range isn't huge.
I'm an NC37 in MAC studio sculpt foundation, a shade 3 in Estee Lauder Double wear light, so my skin tone is relatively fair BUT I take b40 in Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup which is the second to last shade in the range. Theres b50 and that's it...if you're darker than that they don't have an option for you- which is disappointing since the product (actually Chanel foundations in general) is amazing and would work beautifully on darker tones :(
There are 10 shades to choose from and it retails for $58USD at Chanel counters.
It is a bit pricier than the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup, but the packaging is gorgeous and it's super convenient! Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a more convenient and "pretty" looking version of the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation.
LOVE it!
xoxo
