Chanel Mat Lumiere
Okay so I've been raving about this product when I got it. And I'd have to say it's working well :D It became a HG (holy grail) powder/foundation for me.
Description from Chanel's site.
A powdery compact texture for a velvety, perfect complexion. Shiny areas are mattified and imperfections are concealed. A flawless complexion for 12 hours.
The powdery formula of MAT LUMIÈRE blends delicately into the skin. Micronized talc and spherical and lamellar powders ensure a matte, luminous finish. Shiny areas are mattified and the complexion looks even. Imperfections are instantly concealed and the radiance of the face is revealed. Silicone polymers in the formula optimize the hold of foundation. The complexion looks flawless from morning until evening: even, velvety and embellished.
Apply to entire face with the sponge used dry for a natural semi-matte finish or dampened for a semi-matte velvety finish with longer hold. Ideal for touch-ups during the day. Practical and easy to refill.
The package comes like this, usualy Chanel black and gold box, a slip pouch inside, containing the powder. Simple and elegant. Downside is that, it's a fingerprint magnet.
The powder is really easy to apply. Super fine powder makes it blend into your skin so easily.
After applying the product. Mat Lumiere is a 'mattifying' foundation powder, so it works well on oily skin. The shade I got was the lightest one - Lumiere 10.
After 6 hours of application, it darkened a little, so it looks more natural to my skintone and managed to produce a dewy/velvet look instead of making my face look like an oil pan. (it did when I used Bobbi Brown's natural foundation)
Even if I needed a touch-up it's easy to bring along and only a pat on the nose and forehead would do.
You could build up the powder if you need more coverage, though it works perfectly well on my skin with only one layer. Best of all, my skin didn't get any worse when using this product (I didn't get any extra blemish nor blackheads etc) in fact, my skin condition did get better, as long as you double cleanse after makeup :3
The price is... a little higher compared to other foundations you can find at the drugstore (and I for one, not a fan of using BB creams too).
Chanel's Mat Lumiere is priced at RM175. Good thing is that it's refillable, and the refill costs RM118.
The liquid version of Mat Lumiere would last longer than the powder but I prefer this as it takes less time to apply and easy to touch up. And if you have REALLY super oily skin, you could try Mat Lumiere Extreme. I'm not sure about the price but I've heard good reviews about it too.
I'd definitely buy this product again.
