Chanel is one of my favourite make-up brands, purely on the basis that it offers some of the best foundations on the market. Although, the products are a little on the expensive side, the high prices are worth it when you feel so great wearing Chanel’s make-up. The Chanel Teint Innocence Fluid Makeup provides a gorgeous coverage with a luminous effect, which gives the skin a natural glow whilst it also evens out skin tone to cover all the flaws on your skin.

I’ve not had a lot of luck with foundation and I’m constantly changing my products.
That’s why I was very grateful to speak to the Chanel lady two week ago because she gave me the best advice I’ve had from any of the boots women I’ve seen.

Whenever I buy a foundation the first few days my skin looks great then after the few days are up my skin starts looking dull, oily sometimes dry and just in all not very good.
The first thing she did was take my make-up off, she complimented my skin and was telling me how jealous she was to have such lovely skin, I was really surprised because I did know my skin wasn’t really bad but I didn’t think it was that great. She said though that after removing my make-up she instantly noticed dry patches on my skin that could easily come off if I exfoliated.

So my skin regime as never being very good it’s always being a quick easy wash and moisturise.
She told me I needed to start working on my skin in order for this foundation to look great on my skin and any other foundation.

1. Use a good cleanser, I would really recommend using a cleansing milk, now I used to use just cleansing lotions but after the lady at Chanel used Chanel cleansing milk on my skin I really loved how soft my skin felt afterwards.
I recommend the “Garnier clean and fresh cleansing milk”
You can get this from boots for £3.12 it removes make-up great and cleans the skin thoroughly it smells wonderful and leaves skin feeling lovely and soft.

3. Exfoliate- you need to exfoliate your face to get rid of dead skin cells, that was the main problem with my skin the Chanel lady said because I was basically moisturising dead skin pretty much, if you notice any flaky patches on your skin this is dead skin and you need to exfoliate these areas and then follow on to the fourth step which is moisturise. I asked the Chanel woman how often you need to exfoliate and she said once a week don’t whatever you do more than once or twice because you’ll them be removing skin that isn’t dead which can leave your skin looking very sore.
Anyway after following these steps after a few weeks you should notice a dramatic change in your skin and foundation you have probably put in your drawer may look great on your skin.
You see the Chanel woman said you can’t make a judgment on foundation and say ‘oh this foundation is rubbish it doesn’t do anything for my skin when your skin is in bad tact in the first place, you have to get your skin in good tact before you can make a judgment on a product’

I really recommend this product to people who like me have combination skin, it has moisturising properties but also it doesn’t make skin look oily.
Also it is very natural looking, after using foundations that have a really good coverage I’ve realised my skin just looks caked and very unnatural, this foundation makes you look like you’re not wearing any foundation at all but hides any imperfections you wouldn’t want anyone to see.

--Application--
The foundation is liquid based and is therefore very easy to apply.
I have stopped recommending a way of applying foundation because we all like applying foundation different ways, I personally used to use a foundation brush but now I’ve started just using my finger tips and I apply it using circular motions with my fingers.
