The Best Summer Foundation

I have always had oily to combination skin, but recently I have also been having a few dry patches on my face making the foundations I currently own cling to it. I like my foundation to look fresh and skin-like, especially in the warmer months.

During the day I enjoy wearing foundations that go unnoticed but that can even-out the skin tone and give luminosity.

I have been searching for quite a while for a foundation that ticked all the boxes and I finally think I have found the one.

The Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Gel Touch Foundation (what a name!)

This foundation doesn’t feel like any other foundation, it feels so light a weightless, it glides perfectly through the skin thanks to its gel like texture and blends like no other. I have tried applying it with a cushion applicator and a stippling brush and it works wonders with both (its slightly quicker when using a brush, so I usually go for that option). This foundation has a light coverage but its definitely buildable.

The actual cushion is also different, instead of having a sponge infused with the foundation in has a net like system that helps dispense the product quicker and easier.

The packaging is also amazing with a decent size mirror on the inside, making it perfect for touching-up throughout the day. It’s definitely a handbag staple.

The mayor drawback to this foundation is its price, retailing at £43. Currently I don’t think they sell the cushion refills separately, I’m hoping they will start making them in the future, therefore lowering the price of the foundation (I’ll keep my fingers crossed.)

If you’re in to light, luminous and skin-like foundations you need to try the Chanel Healthy Glow Foundation, it’s just the perfect summer base.
