Chanel Deep Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Colour Review, Photos, Swatches
Deep
Chanel Deep Les Beiges Healthy Glow Luminous Colour ($58.00 for 0.42oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish brown with warm undertones and a fine, golden micro-shimmer. It had medium, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across the skin. The texture was smooth, silky, and slightly powdery in the pan but applied well to my skin–even the drier areas–and had a subtle sheen. It wore well for just over eight hours on me.
Chanel described the formula as a “powder bronze and highlighter enriched with illuminating pigments” with a “buildable, soft texture.” The brand noted to select a shade lighter than your skin tone for highlighting and darker than your skin tone for bronzing–so it was less of a multi-tasking product and more that one could use it either as a highlighting powder or as a bronzing powder. I think you can get a little illumination and subtle warmth if you choose a shade similar to your skin tone, though, which is the closest to having the best of both worlds.

I feel so Bleh about this!
This one shows up, but I like my bronzers to be more shimmery than this, to wear on the apples, or matte to warm up the face. So for me, I wouldn’t get a TON of use out of this hybrid product.
I think I just talked myself out of it ahaha
Sounds like one to skip for sure 🙂
I like this one far more than the previous one in Light! But I definitely won’t be running out to get it anytime soon, because I’ve already found my perfect bronzer in UD Jawbone (they need to add that shade to their permanent line!).
The texture/application of this one was better overall – the two darker shades seemed better than the lighter ones (which seemed to run more powdery). Though I wish Deep was darker (or that they had Deeper/Deepest!).
I like how it sheers out. I’d have to swatch it though.
Let me know if you try any of the shades, Erin!
What a good colour for you.
I think I might just check these out, but more for highlighting than for the bronzing.
Thank you, Helene!
Chanel’s idea of “deep” is disappointing. I’m also not a fan of how orange-toned this is. :/
I think they need deeper if they want to market it as a highlighting and bronzing range (going one lighter/darker for your skin tone).
I really enjoyed seeing your seatch gallery on these bronzers. Medium Deep and Medium were suggested to me. I wore one on each side of my face and asked if I could borrow their mirror and look at the result in natural light. The lighter shades had an unflattering yellow undertone while the darker had a beautiful red lean to it and nicely warmed my face. I bought Deep Medium and quite like the look and the feel. It was odd for me to be matched to the second darkest shade in the range.
At a different Chanel counter, the lightest was suggested to me but I wondered if it would be more useful to me as a setting powder? Am quite pleased with Medium Deep.
