Chanticaille Foundation - My new fav!

Check out Chanticailles ‘Just Skin’ foundation - i bought it recently and love it - when i visited space NK I applied Nars Sheer glow on one side and Chanticaille on the other - both were great and I did very much like the Sheer Glow however the colour with the Chanticaille was a slightly better match + my friend has been raving about how this foundation really works on improving skin condition over all - she has been using it for a while and swears by it.

It looks pretty natural on and can be built up for pretty good coverage - ive used it normally for normal coverage and also a bit heavier and it stayed put and even more importantly didnt oxidise.

If I wasn’t after the amazing ingredients in the Chanticaille foundation I would have stuck to Nars as its a lot cheaper and as I mentioned the finish was also lovely.

also anyone looking for high spf their primer has spf 50 - is amazing light and doesnt have that ‘white flash’ issue at all!

I know i sound like a sales woman but so far so good! I know sometimes you need to use a foundation for a few weeks for it to show its true colours so I shall report back incase it does start to play up!

Also, for a more complete overview I had been using Bobbi brown ‘skin’ foundation prior to that but wanted to try something different - I also checked out YSL Touche Eclat foundation - which gave a lovely finish but colour didn’t seem right and on top of that it oxidised; Giorgio Armani silk finish (I think thats what is is called) was okay but colour just seemed to again intensify despite the primer underneath and lastly I also tried Illamasqua Skin Base foundation - I got pretty terrible service there and was matched a few shades too light so cant really comment!

^ I have been literally dying to try their compact foundation and powder sun screen for the past summer or so but the closest Chanticaille counter is about an hour drive from me....but it surely is on my 'to-try' list. Thanks for posting the review, so glad to know of your positive experience :)

As for illamasqua, it carries way too many shades? it's surprising that you didn't get matched properly :(

I've generally heard very good things about Illamasqua and their Customer service - it must have just been that particular assistants bad day! I did complain and they have booked me in for a full session with a stylist!

Can you put swatches on your blog please? I never wear foundation - as I have never found the right shade :( I am medium/light brown but with strong yellow undertones so swatches would be great x
