Review: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
This is not for everyone.
In fact, Chanel has guaranteed this fact by making a shade of foundations so limited, that the darkest shade is still nearly a full shade too light for me... and I'm medium-toned.
What year is it?
These foundations are currently on display and ready for sale at Nordstrom stores across Southern California. But there are NO testers. I'm almost wondering if that's on purpose. The Vita Lumiere Aqua is meant to replace the Teint Innocence line, which also featured a limited color range. I guess Chanel simply wasn't interested in evolving on this one. That color you see is NOT the color of the foundation; all the bottles are small (one ounce) and opaque.
You actually have to open the bottle (after you shake it up to mix the formula) to get the true color:
That color is Beige Sienne (or 5.0). That is the DARKEST shade in this foundation formula. I was pretty bummed about it, because I really wanted to test this foundation by itself. But I can't wear it without a dark primer or a darker bronzer around the edges of my face. Otherwise it just won't work.
