ooooh i’m guessing the “velvet” topcoat is going to give that kinda vinyl finish we saw in black velvet?
the models looks absolutely radiant! I’m VERY excited to hear about the foundation. will you be testing it christine?
They look barefaced. Wow!
Yay new foundation looks MATTE! Thanks Christine you’re the best at getting the new stuff to us QUICK!
Really beautiful. Curious about the Jade Rose nail polish.
Jade Rose was released with the Jade nail polish. If you do a search online you can see swatches.
jade rose is still available in a lot of the chanel counters i’ve been to!
Perfection Lumiere sounds exciting! It must be the replacement for Pro Lumiere, which was a great foundation. So I’m sure many of us will have VERY high expectations! I trust Peter Phillips though. :p
Their skin looks awesome. But I bet they have wonderful skin to begin with and it has very little to do with the actual foundation… LOL
don’t ever forget photoshop…
I do not like this look- it looks like they are hardly wearing makeup. I guess if that is the look you are going for, it is great. I always want rich colors in fall.
It’s a cruise collection; it is not meant for fall.
it sure is expensive to look so plain
Christine do you know if they will have darker shades in this line of foundation, NC50 and beyond maybe? Thanks in advance.
On another note im so frustrated with chanel Every time i go to the counter they tell me that they will be extending the line, its been 3 years.
I don’t have any more information than is currently posted, sorry!
I spoke to my counter manager yesterday and saw the new line books that they receive. The colors of the new foundation are being expanded.
Yes this line will have an extended range of deeper shades that will suit a NC50 and beyond! This line will replace the shades of Mat Lumiere that have been phased out(cedar,walnut etc). It will eventually take the place of Pro Lumiere, which will phase before the years end. Hope this helps!
Thanks.It definately helped. now I can be excited for the line lol. I cant wait, thanks again
Kayla, I’m super-fair and I have the same troubles with Chanel — love their makeup but they never have foundation or powder light/cool-toned enough for me. They have to be more inclusive at both ends of the spectrum!
The models’ skin does look awesome. Not sure about the makeup, though. I like a natural look as much as the next woman, but this looks non-existent. Palefaces like me who don’t have natural color need some from their makeup :).
I like this as a fresh face for fall, despite being a die hard fan for the traditional dark & dramatic looks. It’s so polished and defined without losing the soft, natural edge.
I love these looks (because I love the idea of no makeup but don’t look flawless without it), but I think it’s funny that they’re wearing so much to look like they’re wearing nothing at all.
Perfection LumiereE Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup SPF 10. interesting!
It looks so natural-very very natural, like they don’t have anything at all. I’m torn between feeling awed about it and feeling weird with the thought of spending much on that kind of look.
i was told that this new foundation will be replacing the pro lumiere foundation which i am sad about. do you anything about this?
Does anyone know if the chanel eye kohl in clair is permanent? the lady at my chanel counter said that it was a limited edition from a past season and is not available….
thanks!
Yes clair is permanent and available. If your local counter doesn’t have it in stock, chanel.com should.
This is exactly what I’d like my “everyday make up” to look like. Absolutely beautiful. I was about to go out and purchase Vitalumiere Aqua, but I think I will hold out for this one.
