Chanel Perles de Lumiere Illuminating Blush Powder Review & Swatches
Perles de Lumiere
Chanel Perles de Lumiere Illuminating Blush Powder ($70.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a light, golden copper with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had nearly opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, soft, and blendable texture.
It was a gel-powder hybrid formula, so the powder was denser and more firmly-pressed in the pan, but it looked seamless and “melted” when applied to bare skin (there was also no powderiness in the pan). You’ll want to use a slightly denser brush to pick up product if you’re not familiar with this type of formula. It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

SOOO beautiful; so out of my grasp (I’d have to travel to another zone – we’re not supposed to do that because of our lockdown restrictions and also because of my highway terror) and so too warm for me. I had to smile seeing a Wet n Wild dupe with the same A rating as well as a Lancome one with an A+ rating. if I can find the Lancome one, I might buy it, though this is still too warm a shade for me, to be honest.
While a little too rich for my blood presently, I do really love how this one applies! It is perfection. I do still have my CP Butterfly Beach and DoC Miramé, so I’d say I’m set with similar shades. But I’d still love to get this one!
Chanel makes a beautiful powder! I’m passing despite being enamoured with the melty looking finish
Very subtle and most suitable for fair complexions, this is so pretty.
This is so flawless looking on your skin!
