Great product for a great price
Such a versatile product, even as a dupe of the luxury one, this product gives an amazing glow and has the perfect amount of coverage. It blends easily, and can easily be worn as a light foundation. Stays on for hours (with the right skin prep) and feels like nothing. The perfect product.

All “pros” and a “con”
First the “con”; this item arrived in a plastic bag, and the cap was not sealed. Unfortunately, because the color was “rich”, almost the color of the cap, I could not determine if this had been used before I received it.Now the “pros”: The color is truly sheer, and it provided a nice subtle tint. It is definitely at least 71% water and you have to be careful not to pump too much or you will waste the product. You definitely have to mix it with you fingers or a brush before applying to make certain that the product is well blended before applying to your face. At first, the finish did appear to be shiny; however, that settled down and not the finish is very natural. My naturally oily areas are tamed and the overall performance is nice. After a few hours, my skin still feels soft, moisturized and natural. I will continue to buy and use this product.

Chanel Dupe.
This is a sheer coverage tinted watery serum. A very sheer to light coverage, and depending on how much you apply so it is slightly buildable. It slightly evens out your skin tone and provides hydration and glow. It’s a “your skin but better” and “no makeup makeup look” thats especially good for those that don’t like the heavy/unnatural look and feel of some foundations or CC creams. You cannot feel this on your skin. I even wear it comfortably on days I don’t leave the house. Blurs pores imperfections but won’t fully conceal red acne spots. For best results, apply with a makeup brush on hydrated skin. I use it after my skincare and sunscreen has set.Anywho- I also have the Chanel Water Fresh Complexion Touch and there is little to no difference between this CG formula and Chanel’s. Both have the same consistency, finish, lasting power, and sheer coverage. You get roughly the same amount in a bottle as Chanel for ALOT LESS money (Chanel Water Fresh Tint is $70). However, the CG version doesn’t have fragrance which I prefer for my sensitive skin.I really hope CG doesn’t discontinue this stuff. For some reason it’s listed as a foundation and I believe that is a mistake. I reccomend watching some YouTube videos on this product before buying to see if it’s right for you.

Perfect weight
This applies beautifully. I don’t usually wear foundation because I can’t get used to that look in the mirror halfway through the day where something looks a little … artificial. Great natural skin has a bit of transparency to it in person which doesn’t show on a video so while an influencer can cover their face with foundation, it’s not quite right for my life. However, this allows me to apply the product very thinly if I choose because it has great “slip,” so that I get a bit of smoothing out variation in color but also get to maintain that element of transparency. I often layer it over (or under, in the dry depths of winter) elf Halo Glo Liquid Filter which also helps with the feeling of light naturally shining off bare skin, but I’m happy that I don’t always have to do that with this foundation.

This stuff is awesome! I hate the feel of heavy makeup – this product goes on like a dream. Love the liquid and little beads of colour – applies nicely using a damp makeup sponge. Decent coverage even though the product is lightweight and a fraction of the cost of pricey high-end brands.

I have golden olive light-medium, however when I tan properly (weather is not sunny enough), I am medium/tan. I was afraid with the skin range, it seemed finding the right match impossible. Glad I went with Medium 40, it matches nicely! I am aware that this match is my winter match, it may not match me soon because I tan so quickly. I have a horrible experience with foundations, it what pulled me off out of makeup for a long time. Finding your foundation is a very personnal experience, everyone reacts differently to formulas.The foundation is buildable, covers imperfection beautifully, giving your skin but better. It does not look like you are wearing foundation, you don’t feel it. Watery, you need to insure to blend it perfectly and to layer it uniformely to not be streaky. Blend and tap, I used my fingers as tool, do not like brush or sponge.I have slightly oily skin. I have tested both with and without setting powder (Charlotte tilbury airbrush powder), it honestly don’t make much of a difference, except at extending the makeup duration… Still looks gorgeous through the day. I think a ”glue” primer (eg: smashbox photo primer) is what gonna make the difference with this foundation, it will give a better base to stick throughout the day.This reminds me of Chantecaille future skin, except for it bing a more lightweight, watery (not creamy), more glowy foundation version… Obviously, with a huge price tag difference! I cannot compare to Chanel Les Beiges, never bought as it is heavily fragranced… my skin can be sensitive.All and all, I love this foundation. Hope for shade range expansion.P-S: It has a small dose of bakuchiol, be careful with your glycolic acids. Given it is not a very strong photosensitive as retinol, i do not know why they put an AHA ingredient in a foundation because after you have your sunscreen, how does your skin reaps the benefits of bakuchiol?

I have nothing but good things to say about this skin tint. Its a perfect mix of glowy and pigmented particles. Very much of what todays makeup requires/trends. My skin stays glowy throughout the day and it gives just the perfect amount of coverage
