Product Information

DESCRIPTION

With a unique texture that fuses with the skin, the first serum foundation by CHANEL concentrates the benefits of Vanilla Planifolia and the power of a radiance generator. Unprecedented for a foundation, its formula combines light-reflecting particles and pigments to deliver immediate radiance that lasts all day long. Its serum-like texture is luscious yet lightweight and fresh. It melts into the skin to make it look smoother and reveal its radiance with a sheer finish. The signature brush ensures subtle, personalised application for buildable coverage.
The complexion is sublime, with a luminous finish. Skin is perfectly hydrated, comfortable and protected from external aggressors.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

. Intense Vanilla Planifolia water, the signature ingredient of SUBLIMAGE, helps maintain the quality of skin. Formulated with Vanilla Planifolia beans from Madagascar, its antioxidant power helps protect the skin from external aggressors.
. Vanilla enfleurage oil, present for the first time in a CHANEL makeup formula, helps soothe the skin, enveloping it in a veil of softness and comfort.
. Coated pigments and film-forming polymers enhance foundation hold.

HOW TO USE

- Apply a drop of foundation onto the top of your hand and take a pearl-sized amount of SUBLIMAGE L’ESSENCE DE TEINT with the tip of the signature brush.
- Dab the serum foundation onto each cheek, the forehead, the chin and the neck. Then, smooth over face, from the centre outwards.
- Even out with circular movements.
- For buildable coverage, work more foundation onto the face.

I was given a sample of this during a brief consultation in store a month ago . During my consultation I tried 3 different foundations but this came out tops for me and using a sample at home for several days convinced me that it was the right choice. It is extremely soft and silky gliding on perfectly and very light . Also one can build up the coverage easily if needed. There is a good choice of shades too. Very pleased indeed.

THIS IS A REPEAT PURCHASE AS ,AFTER TRYING A HUGE VARIETY OF FOUNDATIONS, MOSTLY IN THE LUXURY CATEGORY, MY SUBLIMAGE L'ESSENCE, HAS PROVED TO BE MY OUTSTANDING CHOICE. I FIND THAT COVERAGE IS GOOD AND BUILDABLE AND RARELY REQUIRES THE ADDITION OF CONCEALER. WITH A LIGHT DUSTING OF LOOSE POWDER, IT LASTS WELL INTO THE EVENING, DOESN'T SETTLE INTO FINE LINES AND FEELS LIKE A SECOND SKIN. I AM 75 YEARS OLD WITH NORMAL/COMBINATION SKIN AND HOPE THAT THIS PRODUCT IS NEVER DISCONTINUED.

I have always used the la tient but wanted to try something a bit lighter with a bit of glow now that I'm 60 . I know thus is very expensive but after wearing it for a week I can definitely tell the difference on my skin . It sits so smoothly and makes your skin feel and look amazing. I highly recommend it it s a beautiful foundation. Thankyiu channel

Have only used it once but it seemed a light serum foundation. Not too heavy. No doubt it could be build up if you wanted a heavier foundation base.

I have been waiting for this shade to come back in to stock for a very long time. I first tried this as a sample sent from France from my sister-in-law and I loved it as soon as I tried it. I have dry skin, and am almost 60, and lots of foundations are very aging, but not this. It leaves your skin soft and glowing. I also use the primer. It is pricey so I keep it for weekends and wear a more affordable product for every day. I love this!

Beautiful foundation, very light weight perfect colour. The brush it comes with is excellent quality. Only fault is I would like it to last all day not half a day.

I hear this foundation is not for everyone but I bought to try it anyways and was wow by it! Its so dewy and natural looking on my skin, not heavy, rich or cakey.. nourishing for the winter winds and long lasting wear, at least for me. Will re-purchase without a doubt
