Artists know that the future of the picture depends on how you put the ground on the canvas. Makeup is also a kind of painting. And the final result of the make-up depends on the primer of the face. But our skin is not a canvas. She needs a light primer. A poor-quality makeup base can ruin everything. It clogs the pores, because the skin needs to breathe.
No less important is the persistent coloring enzyme of the foundation. It should remain unchanged, without falling into yellowness or a brick tint. Many girls do not know what to prefer for the base - foundation or fluid? The first masks imperfections well, the second, with a more liquid and light texture, blends well, lays down softly and allows the skin to breathe.
But there is a compromise. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in customer reviews is characterized either as a foundation, or as a fluid. And the manufacturer himself calls his product "second skin". Let's analyze the Chanel Vitalumier Aqua reviews and see if its quality is really that good, or is it just a publicity stunt.
A little about the brand
French cosmetics and perfumes have proven themselves well. And the brand "Chanel" and even more so. The products of this fashion house are classics in the world of beauty. Chanel produces not only decorative cosmetics and perfumes, but also clothes, accessories, jewelry and luxury goods. Her products are bought by members of the royal families, celebrities and many celebrities.
Chanel products have been at the height of fashion for many decades. This is because the brand is constantly releasing new products, the chemical formula of which is carefully analyzed in the laboratories of the house. Cosmetic products are especially meticulously tested for safety by leading experts in this field. The brand is constantly striving to make its products more perfect, so from time to time it releases improved series, modified lines and limited collections of the Premium class. Not without reason, in their reviews of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, users characterize it as a product of the highest price segment. But the perfect quality of foundation is worthy of big money.
Makeup base requirements
What should be the perfect foundation? Let's isolate the requirements for this cosmetic product in order to understand whether the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua fluid meets them or not. Chanel offers a variety of foundations suitable for all types of skin. But "Vitalumier Aqua" can be called a universal remedy that every woman can use.
Make-up base should moisturize the skin, belight texture, long-lasting, with a radiance effect, act as a compact powder, adjust the tone of the face, blend well, have spf protection from harmful ultraviolet radiation, hide epidermal imperfections (dark circles, red spots, mimic wrinkles and peeling). Also, users note that they would like the toner to be packaged in a stylish and easy-to-use bottle and have a pleasant smell.
Packaging
Cream fluid is sold in a box. It is decorated concisely, with some minimalism, but very stylish. White letters on a black background eloquently paint all the advantages of a cosmetic product. There is little information about the foundation on the tube itself. Therefore, the chemical composition of the product, the country of origin, etc. can only be found from the inscription on the cardboard box. And it is a guarantee that you have an original in your hands, and not a fake.
So, carefully study the packaging. At the top there is the logo of the house "Chanel" of two linked letters C. At the very bottom of the box we see a barcode that can be used to determine in which country the product was made. Not the fact that in France, because Chanel has factories in other countries of Western Europe and North America.
Now read the front side of the box. First comes the name of the foundation from Chanel - Vitalumiere Aqua. Then the following inscriptions follow: TEINT PARFAIT (perfect color), EFFET SECONDE PEAU (second skin effect). Then the French language is replaced by English: ULTRA-LIGHT (ultra-light), SKIN PERFECTINGMAKEUP (perfect skin makeup), SPF 15 (UV protection) and, finally, the number and name of the tone, for example, 10 BEIGE. At the very bottom of the front side, you can read the full name of the brand and the volume contained inside the tube (30 milliliters).
Chemical composition
If you turn the box upside down, you can see the list of ingredients. To people unfamiliar with chemistry, it seems overly voluminous. But knowledgeable users assure in the reviews: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation is completely safe to use. It is made on a water basis. You can feel it without even reading the packaging, but simply by applying the cream on your face. Feels like washing your face with cool, invigorating spring water.
Many more users note the pleasant perfume fragrance of the product. Only expensive products from Chanel smell like this. Otherwise, the chemical composition of the tonal fluid is quite gentle. It contains hyaluronic acid, which perfectly moisturizes the epidermis. But specialists from Chanel are in the eternal search for perfection. So, the Vitalumier Aqua foundation was released (sold with a sponge). The composition of this product is enriched with vitamin E. In addition, it has special corrective color pigments to mask skin imperfections as much as possible.
Tube
What's in the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation Fluid? Photos of the product show a rectangular bottle with a black screw cap. How do users rate it? Of the minuses, they note thatThe bottle itself is opaque, so you can't see how much product is left. This is where the disadvantages end, and then a long list of advantages follows.
The bubble is very stylish. The lid is adorned with signature Chanel monograms. It is screwed tightly, until it clicks, so you can not be afraid that the product will spill into your purse. The vial is actually a tube because it is made of plastic. By pressing on its walls, you can squeeze out a little of the product.
The dispenser is narrow, so there will be no overspending of the cream. An eloquent picture is drawn on the back of the tube: before using the product, the bottle must be shaken well. Inside the bottle there is also a glass ball (like in expensive nail polishes), which breaks up possible fluid clots.
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua colors
The palette of the fluid, like other foundations from Chanel, is rich. As many as 14 shades! So all women, from "Snow Whites" to mulattoes, will find their favorite color. In relation to the tonal fluid palette, there is only one complaint: most of the shades, from the lightest, 10th, to 60th, are called “Beige”, then “Beige-Rose”. Next come two caramel and 2 chocolate shades. This creates difficulties in choosing the right color.
In other tonal products from Chanel, the palette of shades, in addition to numbers, also has eloquent names (for example, “ivory”, “pastel”, “sand”, “desert”). Swatches don't accurately capture color nuances. Therefore, if you buy Vitalumiere Aqua Chanel fluidTeint Parfait via the Internet, that is, the risk of acquiring the wrong shade. Network services should be used only when you know exactly the number of the facility you need. In specialized stores, including Chanel branded ones, there are probes that should be applied not to the back of the hand, but to the face.
Color Properties
Most women use foundation to refresh and even out skin tone. What are the fluid properties in this regard? Let's analyze the reviews. Among Russians, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua spf 15, 10 Beige is in special demand. This is the lightest shade in the palette of this tool. Northern women usually complain that it is difficult for them to find the right tone from other brands, since all of them are darker than their snow-white skin.
But Chanel took into account the requests of the Snow Maidens. Shade 10 is really very light. But here it should be borne in mind that there is a little yellowness in it. So if your skin has a pinkish undertone, you'd better get number 12. It is on the same tone line with the tenth (that is, it is also very light), but there is absolutely no yellowness in it. Users also note that throughout the day the color pigments do not fade and do not change. The fluid will not hide bright freckles, but the capillary network is completely. It evens out the complexion perfectly.
Chameleon properties
In reviews of the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua fluid, users agree that the manufacturing company calls its product "second skin". Not only is the toolpractically not felt on the face, it also adapts to the surrounding areas (neck, ears). The fluid is quickly absorbed, but does not disappear without a trace. The skin becomes even, with a natural color. It’s like you rested for a couple of hours, washed your face and threw off a dozen years from your shoulders.
Yes, most of the reviews mention that the product restores youthfulness to the skin. Of course, the foundation does not smooth wrinkles, but, nevertheless, masks them a little. But the he althy glow emanating from your skin will make others forget how old you are. The fluid does not create any contrast with the neck and other parts of the body. Its lightweight texture allows you to blend it however you like. But, users warn, you will have to act only with your fingertips. The sponge will instantly absorb the liquid fluid, the brush will also be of little use. And do not forget to shake the bottle before each squeezing the product. If this is not done, only a drop of muddy water will appear on your finger.
Lightness of radiance
In addition to the fact that the fluid perfectly "adjusts" to your skin, it also gives it a little shine. Here it is necessary to clarify that it does not at all look like a greasy gloss. Reflective particles, which are mixed with color pigments, gently refract the sun's rays. This gives the skin a he althy, well-groomed, fresh look, and facial irregularities are visually smoothed out. This does not produce a mask effect.
Of course, if you have very oily skin, the sebaceous glands will remind you of themselves in a couple of hours. In this case, the fluid should be used in tandem with Chanel Vitalumiere Mattifying Compact Powder. Aqua Compact. This tool also boasts a rich palette of shades, from the tenth number to the 60th. For dry skin, foundation cream-fluid is just a salvation. It will not hide distinct peeling, but it will greatly soften this defect. But hyaluronic acid perfectly moisturizes dry skin, relieves irritation and unpleasant sensations of tightness.
Texture
Literally all users in their reviews of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua mention this wonderful fluid quality. Many women admitted that at first they were overcome by doubts whether this water could hide skin defects and create the desired shade. But, having tried the remedy on themselves, they changed their skeptical tone to a more benevolent one.
Fluid is a revolutionary blend of exclusive pigments with a treatment cream for dry skin. Its texture is super light. This allows the product to be applied evenly. The cream is quickly absorbed. It does not create a mask effect. Only a luxurious French smell reminds of its presence, light, like the texture of the fluid itself. However, the product performs its functions properly. It evens out the complexion, eliminates signs of fatigue, masks mimic wrinkles, dark bags under the eyes and other defects.
Protective effect
Does it seem to you that the Vitalumier Aqua fluid has been absorbed into the pores and dissolved in the lower layers of the epidermis, like a caring cream? This is an illusory feeling. In fact, he continues to act. And not only because it gives your skin an even color and well-groomed fresh look. TonalFluid Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua spf 15 forms a thin layer on the face that protects the epidermis from aggressive environmental influences.
Owners of dry skin know the feeling when the cold and wind literally hurt the cheekbones, chin and nose. With fluid you will be spared from such discomfort. But even in the summer, the product will protect you from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Maybe a spf 15 filter is not enough protection for Thailand or even Turkey, but it is quite suitable for northern latitudes. Also, the foundation will be a reliable companion of a girl in a gassed metropolis.
Disguise defects
As for the camouflage qualities of the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua fluid, reviews are divided. There is even an opinion (and it also has the right to exist) that this remedy is suitable only for girls with perfect and he althy skin. But many users rate the camouflage property of the foundation as “good.”
Of course, the product will not hide obvious peeling, deep wrinkles, acne and pimples. But the capillary network, enlarged pores and mild acne can easily be disguised. Also, as if by magic, weak age spots, dark circles under the eyes, small mimic wrinkles will disappear.
As for the greasy shine, the owners of very oily skin complain that after two hours they had to use matting wipes. But this is a great result, they say. The owners of mixed skin were especially pleased. Fluid removes shine in the T-zone, and softens dryness on the cheekbones.
Combination with other cosmetics
Applying the Vitalumiere Aqua Chanel foundation fluid is only the first step in creating a charming look. Often, women put additional funds on this base - highlighters and bronzers for sculpting the face, blush, and even a layer of compact powder. Some companies make their color cosmetics in such a way that users are forced to buy the entire line of make-up products. But not Chanel! Do you like Givenchy powder and Estée Lauder blush? For God's sake, keep using them. The Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation not only "adjusts" to your skin, it also blends perfectly with the products of various cosmetic companies.
But, emphasize users, well-proven, expensive. Poor-quality decorative cosmetics can behave unpredictably - clog pores, roll into skin recesses, change color, crumble. Since the Chanel fluid does not create a mask that can be painted like Khokhloma, then all the defects will be, pardon the pun, there. But with other high quality products, the cream will be an excellent base.
How to wear the Vitalumiere Aqua Chanel foundation fluid
Unfortunately, it often happens that make-up pleases us only for the first hour. Then the problems begin. That will show a greasy luster. That tonalnik will gather all in nasolabial folds. At first, an even, ideal shade will delaminate, go into a vulgar yellowness or redness, and appear as brick spots. Then the need arises all the timetouch up makeup, powder your nose, use matting wipes. But users unanimously claim that your tonal Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua will never do such meanness.
He does not change color from morning to evening. The light, even radiance emanating from the skin does not disappear anywhere. The face coverage remains even. If the fluid has already masked the flaws in appearance, be calm: the camouflage will remain until the evening. Only owners of very oily skin complain that the foundation is unable to cope with the increased work of the sebaceous glands. But even in this case, the secret makes itself felt after two or three hours.
Other qualities of the remedy
At first it seems that the tube of "Vitalumier Aqua" is too small, and the funds will not last long. But users in reviews of the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation emphasize its amazing cost-effectiveness. The narrow neck of the tube allows you to squeeze out only a tiny drop of the product (if you do not press too hard). This tiny amount is enough to create a complete make-up. For a more dense coverage, you need to wait until the fluid is absorbed and apply a second layer. Even if you use the tool every day, the tube will last for six months - economical girls assure.
Another important quality users consider the smell. The aroma of the foundation does not disappear, but gently and tactfully accompanies you all day. The smell of the product is difficult to describe. It is a bit like expensive French perfume, but without pretentiousness, but with a slight powderiness. In addition to the light texture, users also note that the fluid does notclogs pores, does not tighten the skin, does not create a mask. It does not stain clothes and even the screen of the mobile. You can forget about makeup altogether, because if your skin is not too oily, it does not need to be corrected or updated. However, users note that the fluid is far from universal. It is suitable only for owners of not too dry (without peeling) and not overly oily skin.
How to spot a fake
In Letual stores, Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua costs 3549 rubles. In the RivGosh network (if you get the maximum discounts), you can buy such a tonal fluid for 2756 rubles. Nevertheless, even this price confuses many Russians… and inspires some dishonest businessmen to supply fakes to the market. How to distinguish them from the original? The first thing that gives a copy with a head is a low price. Believe me: a cosmetic product made in France (or other Western European countries) cannot cost 300 rubles. And it will not be sold from a stall in the underground passages near metro stations.
You should buy cosmetics, especially creams, only in specialized, trusted stores. To purchase the original tonal fluid from Chanel, you need to carefully consider the box and bottle. The counterfeit has crooked stickers, a poorly screwed cap. Gives out a fake and a smell. Products from Chanel are fragrant with delicate perfumes, there is no synthetic fragrance in it. But most of all, the consistency of the product betrays the falsification. Shake the bottle and squeeze a drop of fluid onto your fingertip. The liquid must be absolutely homogeneous. If you rub it on the backside of the palm, the cream blends evenly, absorbs quickly and leaves a slight glow on the skin.
