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.
