Chanel Les Beiges Summer Light Collection Swatches
Here are swatches of the new Chanel Les Beiges Summer Light Collection, which launched recently for summer. It includes two eyeshadow palettes, four lipsticks, one liquid highlighter, and a new shade of the brand’s reformulated bronzer (I’ve also included the original here) that is “Deep” (though more like medium, so the range continues to lack inclusion).
Whew! Nothing here I’m dying to have. The “Intense” palette really appeals to me but only because it’s got 5 shadows the likes of which I already own. The lipsticks are nice but nothing I can’t already get from Sephora, Revlon or other companies for a much happier price.
That “deep” shade would look great on my Fenty 260, MAC NC41 (summer) skintone. Probably up to NC45-47 it would work. They need a 3rd shade, at minimum. “Deep” is actually more like “tan-dark”.
I do like the shade, though. Also, the Sunbeam lipstick!
I am beige 40 in Chanel foundations though in the summer I can drift entirely out of the Chanel color range. As soon as I saw a new shade of this bronzer was available I ordered one. I do feel like it is a bit deep for me right now so I have to use a light hand or wispy type of stipple brush. I expect it to work well into the summer months because of the undertone. Granted I am not the deepest… more like the tan side of medium. I am thrilled to finally experience this formula. Is it my favorite cream bronzer? Not yet… I haven’t had a ton of opportunities to test it out with different foundations, weather etc.
I’m extremely fair (and prefer to keep it that way!), but I love the idea of just a hint of glow for summer, so I’m thinking I might give the liquid highlighter a try. It looked great on you, Christine, and I think it could work for me too.
I really like the swatches of both of the eyeshadow palettes, with Intense being a favourite. It contains all the shades that I would wear – although I do wish the olive green shade was a tad lighter.
The lipsticks look good, but I do see what you mean about the bronzers.
Beautiful collection from Chanel !
These colors are so on-point and wearable !
Yes it’s not deep at all, i’m NW47 and it will not show up on my skin. I will be lovely on medium ladies.
Tender is a beautiful palette, but I just picked up PMG Quad which is rather similar.
