I got a sample of this in a magazine and tried it today... I LOVE it!!!! It is weightless and looks beautiful on my skin! When I use up some of my multiple foundations, I'm buying this!!! I'm 59 and have really good combo skin. Great review!!!
You look STUNNING!! I'm 40 next month and I really appreciate ur candid reviews. I love watching the 20 something's do makeup but ur reviews hold the most weight!! Thanks!!
I bought this on your recommendation and I couldn't be happier...it lasts me all day(combo to oily in summer and combo to dry in winter)... thank you so much for your thorough reviews!
My skin type is exactly like yours. Me too, have bought this foundation because of her recommendation. It fits me perfectly. And so is double wear light
Love the way it makes your skin looks. I'm 62 and have a box filled with foundation that doesn't look great all day, but is ok for shorter events. Thank you for this video. This is my first time watching your videos...definitely won't be my last!
Angie, I finally got it!! A little late, 5/22/16, but better late than never. It is, like you say, so velvety and easy to apply. I've worn mine for over 9 hours today and it really still looks great!! Thank you for all you do for us women over 50. Appreciate it so much!!!
I am 46 years old and I have been looking for a better foundation and a new skin care routine (thought I better start now rather than later) when I came across your UA-cam tutorials and I just have to say, they are GREAT! I LOVE that you post an entire LIST of what you wear and a link where to get it, that helps immensely! And its great how you go outside or take flash photos to better show the make up in those types of light. I have also been looking into getting the Fraxel Face Laser procedure, so let's just say, I am SO glad I found your videos. It's GREAT to see someone other than a 20 year old, trying to show products that are clearly going to look differently on us. I look forward to following you.
Hi Robin~ I'm so glad you found me and like my channel! I'll be doing my 6 month update on the Fraxel later in July so stay tuned & thanks for watching!! xo ~angie
Just wanted to touch base.I am 63 with combination skin and like you, love the Chanel velvet lumiere.I also love the NYX contour stick. These products are heavenly on my skin.
This foundation is everything!!! Goes on effortlessly, the converge is beautiful and gives a soft blur effect on your skin! It is perfection 😘😘😘 and in the sunlight it was flawless on you darwlingg
After watching this video yesterday, I went straight to the store. Came home and put this Chanel foundation on my face and LOVED IT! Best foundation ever for my combination/oily face. It lasted the rest of the day like nothing else I've never used but doesn't look heavy or cakey. Even my husband noticed. Thank you so much, Angie.
I love your review of this product. I've been looking at your foundation reviews and have tried out about 8 in the last few months. With this I struck platinum! This is my HG. I am 65 and had oily skin, but not now. I'm a combo with only a dewy look towards the end of my day. I highly recommend this foundation. It really does make your skin look like velvet! Thanks so much for your reviews! Yay!
I am 56 and have exactly the same issues as you with my skin!! It is so difficult to find a foundation for an “ageing/mature skin” that still has issues with oiliness, pores, longevity etc. Most things catering for oilier skins are heavy, flat and go cakey. I REALLY enjoy your videos and look forward to watching them when you release them, as I know, not only can I relate to everything you’re saying, but they are honest and really comprehensive and informative. This morning, on your recommendation, I have been out and purchased this Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation! Not tried it yet but I have been enjoying Vitalumiere Aqua over winter. Now it’s heating up in the UK, I’ve invested in your HG foundation! Thanks Angie!! Fingers crossed! X
This product is indeed GREAT! I'm 54 with skin like a 15-year old. OILY! Besides the oil, I have had numerous skin cancers on my forehead and cheeks due to my fair English skin and it's left some red colourations - so it's hard to find a product that does everything I need it to. Since I am not looking for coverage as much as a way to even out the skin tone and mattify, Chanel's Velvet is my go-to choice. I use it very sparingly and use it with my fingers to quickly spread out the small drop or so of product. Thanks for doing such a great video - it helps so much to see how others use and like/dislike a product!
I just found this channel today. This is the 2nd video I've watched and I'm so happy! I've been in need of tips and information now that I'm getting more mature skin and all I've been finding are make up tutorials from teenagers (great - if you are that age, but not right for me). This is so informative, and so extremely helpful. And I love the demeanor: relaxed yet still professional - with a mature approach. What a welcomed change. Just wonderful. I cannot wait to watch more, learn more, and try these products out! Thank you for the time in producing these great quality, good content videos.
Hi Angie, I love Foundation Fridays and love all your videos. IMO, I think this foundation suits you the best-so far. You're skin looks flawless and beautiful. You always look great, but I think this foundation is the perfect match for you. Have a wonderful week. XOXO, Annette🎀
Agreed! Best foundation ever! I have normal to dry skin but it does not settle in my fine lines or pores (I’m almost 48). I use Laura Mercier’s primer and translucent powder in T-zone. I never touch up face during the day and it lasts all day long beautifully. Worth every penny! Definitely my new holy grail!
YAY!! We have a winner! I love this series. You are saving me so much money trying all the foundations that don't work on older faces and now we have a good one. Love this. I have to get color matched.
I feel like I need to run out and buy this foundation! I love your reviews and especially the closeups (which no one does) You are always so thorough and honest...I really value your assessment :-)
Oh my gosh. I love this stuff. I love the slight scent, I love the fingertip application (I hate cleaning brushes), I love the buildable coverage... thank you, thank you for all these informative reviews! It's worked great on my oily t-zone/combo aging skin this winter in New England... now I'll have to see how it does once the humid warm weather returns in a couple of months and my skin changes into something completely different! Thank you!
I bought it in Beige 30 and love it as much as you do. I do go in with a fine brush and do my spot concealing after applying this foundation as a base. Fantastic!
I finally broke down and bought a bottle of this foundation and you are right… It is the holy grail. I tried your #2 and #3 foundations and they were OK but this Chanel foundation is the best! I would’ve never found it without your video. Thank you for all you do. PS I am using your skin care routine and posted that my skin has never felt better. I’d like to reiterate that!
Yay! 👏😄 It's a miracle! A foundation that really does it all. All l those years of searching and never finding something that just works without having to tweak it. Thank you for sharing your research with such a beautiful review. Love your style -effortlessly beautiful.
I have a normal to dry ski type, and I love this foundation. Mind you, I always mix it and sheer it out further with a serum type primer to give it some luminosity. I love it in the summer. It wears all day in the hot heat and it fades in such graceful way.
I went to Nordstrom and picked up the CHANEL Perfection Lumiere Velvet Smooth Effect Foundation (shade 30) because of your review. I am 45. I LOVE it. I love my Estee Lauder foundation too, but you are right this one is perfection. Thank you. Love your videos - watch them all the time.
I have been loving your foundation videos. I am excited to see that you found one. I am going to get a sample of it! Thanks for trying out a lot of foundations and saving us all $$.
I am 53 and saw this foundation on your video. I went out to Macy's the following weekend to pickup a couple samples. I got beige 10 and 20. Since its winter, 10 is the best color. But I can see I may want 20 for the summer. Anyway, this was the best foundation ever!! I like the feel, and the fact my face stays smooth, and no dry patches or flaking. I agree regarding using your fingers is best, kinda warms it up so it blends nicely. Thank you for the videos and the recommend - finally a holy grail foundation after a 37 year search! :-) BTW, you look great!!
Your the best Angie- you tell it like it is!! I purchased this foundation awhile back and was "saving it for good!" Who knows when that's going to happen, so opening it today. And of course, my lab Lucy heard your dogs squeaker and got all excited!
Yay! So great to hear about some positive results and it does look great on you. Thank you so much for putting up so thorough reviews. It saves us all so much time and money. We'll have start calling you Ange, the make up angel 😄
This is truly a day to celebrate! I have been loving the it CC but I can tell Chanel foundation will work for me too! I will be splurging!! Thank you for all the testing.
Forgot to mention - sales clerk gave me samples of the Chanel le Lift Creme Fine to try along w/foundation and I had enough for three weeks worth using every day. I've never found a moisturizer I loved w/my combo skin but this stuff is AMAZING! It does have alcohol and perfume in it but it didn't irritate. My wrinkles are minimized, my eyelids look much better and All crepiness is GONE!. My mouth and chin area have drastically improved! No greasiness, sets fast and works perfectly w/this foundation. Unfortunately, at $165 a jar, I can't justify buying it! For those of you who can, give it a try (at least try the free samples). My face truly hasn't looked this good in years!
Hi Angie, this make up looks really great on you! I have dry, sensitive skin with red spider veins on my face. I'm 61 and honestly tried everything and I have yet to find something like this for my skin. So happy for you!!!
Angie, I have to say....Of all the foundations you have worn in the last 2 years. This is fabulous on you. I love this foundation, myself. I wear the same foundation, Perfection Lumere but not the Velvet. Wears great. What I like about this for you, is that this took 10 yrs off your look. Your skin is flawless. You go girl! I think you found your Holy Grail... Big Hugs! xoxo Sharon
I have tried a sample of this and really liked it a lot. I have been on the fence on buying it. I have been looking for over a year now for my holy grail foundation and can't seem to find it. I am 55 and skin does change a lot! The pores and fine lines and small wrinkles are coming. Thanks for the great reviews for all of the foundations. You have come a long way in the past couple years with your channel. Congrats Angie!
I tried this several months ago and didn't like it. Now, after watching your video, I realised why. I had been applying it with a brush, beauty blender and primer each time! I will try it again without the primer and using my fingers! thanks Angie x
Because of this video I went out and bought velvet lumiere !! I love it and can’t believe I put something with this beautiful of a finish on with my fingers! I am returning all of the foundations I bought including EL double wear after I see how long the lumiere lasts today. Thanks for helping me find my holy grail too!!
Wow Angie, now I have to try this. I have agreed with you on so many foundations that we both own. I was sold on It cosmetics powder foundation. But I have to try this one. My poor pocket book, lol. Love ya girl.
Hooray!!!! at last a great foundation that's good for aging skin! Thanks for all the thorough reviews and hard work involved in foundation friday. Off to the Chanel counter tout suite;-)
I never wanted to spend this much on a foundation.. But.. I trust your advice and finally caved and I'm so glad I did! It's such an elegant formulation.. I didn't know foundation could even do what it does! Weightless and dries down quickly but not tacky. I couldn't stand the tacky feeling with my other foundation.. I do wish it had more coverage and I'm still trying to find a way to build this up.. All in all.. Great stuff and worth every penny. Thank you Angie!
WOW!!! Just watched all the foundation video s and I must say this one is really the best! I was amazed that you are 50! I think your skin is fab! And with this foundation you look stunning! BIG LOVE for this one! Oh and I must say, I love your voice, I think thats also very fine in a video! So thumbs up!!!
I love Chanel foundations and I usually hate scents in my foundations, but Chanel's scent literaly makes me smile. Loooove your eyeshadow-you have truly mastered this application, would love to see a tutorial with this drug store pallet!!!! xo Looking younger everyday!!!!!
I purchased it after watching you, and I love it. I put it with a brush most of the time (real technique foundation brush),I have a bit of a dry skin- and yes, it clings a bit to dry spots. But it looks so good, so natural. I also find it does not accentuate pores and textures. To describe it best, I would say it just puts a filter of colour on your face. Nothing else. When I wear it, nobody think I have makeup on. Thanks Angie for the best reviews. Xox, Aline
I had to come back to your video to thank you for the review. I bought the foundation and I LOVE IT!! I have combo to oily skin and I'm 39. I have also learned a lot about skincare from watching you. I appreciate you so much!!
I have tried this out recently because of you and I have such greasy t zone and dry around my mouth. After my 12 hour shift the makeup looks fantastic, it doesn't come off with my blotter and does a bit of oil control. It's sheer but buildable to medium and goes well on top of my regular moisturizer. Finish is nice, for once I didnt need powdering. For a guy, this is an amazing skin enhancer.
I'm going to buy this for sure. Your description of this reminds me of my holy grail foundation, Lancome Nude Miracle liquid to powder. I'm 51 and it really makes my skin look incredible. I bet you would love it too! xo, Tracy
Angie, Thank you so much for all your hard work to help us mature ladies find our holy grail foundation! I will get a sample and try it! It is expensive, but you get what you pay for as the old saying goes!
This foundation looks great on you and it is one of my favs. I sometimes will mix it will my Estee Lauder double wear and that gives it more coverage. I hope you have a great weekend. xo Carolyn
I am new to your channel and have been binge watching. So happy I saw your review of Chanel foundation. I have been using this for 2 years and love it. I try other foundations due to youtube videos recommendations and never happy. This is the first video I have seen of my foundation being reviewed and you said everything that I feel about it. I didn't know about the using your fingers to apply so I will start doing that. Now I have normal to dry skin and I know some have said it's more for combo oily, but I never felt like it dried my skin, in fact my skin feels so soft and smooth. So thanks again and goodbye to all other foundations. You know that old saying if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Next I am trying to find a concealer for dark circles under the eye but I know you don't have them and still have not been able to find one that works.
hi Angie, cant wait to try this, thanks for the review and the photo of you with the foundation on looked amazing! so beautiful and glamorous, wish the brand had more shades though and was cruelty free.
I'm 43, and have extremely dry skin. I'm glad you actually mention there's alcohol in it (no for me) and that it's not really for drier skin types. Thanks for the review. I found it really helpful! :-)
I'm a relatively new subscriber and I have to say, I love love love your reviews! So detailed, honest and informative. I just love how you describe things and your voice and the way you talk can even calm me down after a busy day :) Plus, I have the feeling you are getting more beautiful in every video - your eyes look amazing in this one! What can I say, I just completely fell in love with your channel! Please never stop making videos :) Oh and this gave me a push to finally try out a Chanel Foundation which for some strange reason I never did so far. xo
Hi Angie. Thank you so much for this review. I too was scouring endless beauty counters for the perfect foundation but to no avail. That is, until I stumbled across your channel. I purchased this foundation,Chanel velvet lumiere, based solely on your review. I simply love this product. It does absolutely everything you say it does, and then some! You have no idea what a great service you are doing for people like me. Once again, thank you and stay blessed♥
Yippee!! Thank you Angie for the return of foundation Friday! I am only 40 but have real issues with oily skin, enlarged pores and generally just trying to keep my skin looking decent!Will definitely go to my closest Chanel counter (here in Cambridge, UK), and get a sample to try in my skin tone, I am bit darker then you ;-). will report back when I do!Thanks again! Love your channel xxx
How exciting that you found a winner! I honestly doubted I would ever see this video from you. :) I hate that it's so pricey, but some things in life are just worth it. I'm definitely getting a sample of it the next time I'm at the mall. I'm glad that you're going to keep trying other things. I'm still hoping something less expensive might work as well. By the way, I like what's on your lips here.
I purchased this foundation months ago and it always looked terrible! However, I was determined to like it, so I kept trying. Then I found this video and applied with my fingers and voila! Holy grail for me too! Thank you!!!
Hi Angie!! I went to Nordstrom's last night, picked up samples of colors 30 & 40 Beige. Tried 30 Beige today, although too light, I love the finish....wow!! I don't think I've ever tried anything like this product. Thanks. I just hope the sales associate was wrong (she told me they were discontinuing this product). Thanks for all you do on your channel. I am learning so much watching you!!! Barbara
I am trialing this foundation today. The colour match is a little dark but other than that, so far, I'm loving it. Thank you for reviewing this foundation.
I got a sample of this in a magazine and tried it today... I LOVE it!!!! It is weightless and looks beautiful on my skin! When I use up some of my multiple foundations, I'm buying this!!! I'm 59 and have really good combo skin. Great review!!!
You look STUNNING!! I'm 40 next month and I really appreciate ur candid reviews. I love watching the 20 something's do makeup but ur reviews hold the most weight!! Thanks!!
I watch you faithfully but rarely comment until today, I just wanted to say thank you for your efforts to find the HG foundation for us girls!!!
I bought this on your recommendation and I couldn't be happier...it lasts me all day(combo to oily in summer and combo to dry in winter)... thank you so much for your thorough reviews!
My skin type is exactly like yours. Me too, have bought this foundation because of her recommendation. It fits me perfectly. And so is double wear light
Love the way it makes your skin looks. I'm 62 and have a box filled with foundation that doesn't look great all day, but is ok for shorter events. Thank you for this video. This is my first time watching your videos...definitely won't be my last!
Angie, I finally got it!! A little late, 5/22/16, but better late than never. It is, like you say, so velvety and easy to apply. I've worn mine for over 9 hours today and it really still looks great!! Thank you for all you do for us women over 50. Appreciate it so much!!!

Hello Julie
I been using Chanel aqua and velvet for years, every time I try other brands I keep coming back to Chanel.❤️❤️
Angie thank you so much for your channel. It helps me so much more than other UA-cam videos with younger people. You motivate me to want to do more!
This foundation is everything!!! Goes on effortlessly, the converge is beautiful and gives a soft blur effect on your skin! It is perfection 😘😘😘 and in the sunlight it was flawless on you darwlingg

My fave foundation for my oily yet aging skin. It’s great and doesn’t break me out like many can.
I went to Nordstrom and picked up the CHANEL Perfection Lumiere Velvet Smooth Effect Foundation (shade 30) because of your review. I am 45. I LOVE it. I love my Estee Lauder foundation too, but you are right this one is perfection. Thank you. Love your videos - watch them all the time.
YOU are the beauty advisor I have been searching for! Thank you, thank you! I will be an avid follower now!! You are beautiful! !
I freaking love this foundation and the aqua vitalumiair!!!! I’m glad to see someone talking about this!
I'm glad you found a foundation you love. I got a sample of this and didn't love it. I love the Vita lumier aqua, I have repurchased several times.
I have been loving your foundation videos. I am excited to see that you found one. I am going to get a sample of it! Thanks for trying out a lot of foundations and saving us all $$.
I'm so happy for you for finding a great foundation after all the fails!
I am 53 and saw this foundation on your video. I went out to Macy's the following weekend to pickup a couple samples. I got beige 10 and 20. Since its winter, 10 is the best color. But I can see I may want 20 for the summer. Anyway, this was the best foundation ever!! I like the feel, and the fact my face stays smooth, and no dry patches or flaking.

Been using it two weeks now and I LOVE IT! I've never been able to say that about a foundation. Best foundation I've ever worn. Thx Angie!
+Leslie D GREAT!! So happy to hear. xo
Forgot to mention - sales clerk gave me samples of the Chanel le Lift Creme Fine to try along w/foundation and I had enough for three weeks worth using every day.

Angie, I have to say....Of all the foundations you have worn in the last 2 years. This is fabulous on you. I love this foundation, myself. I wear the same foundation, Perfection Lumere but not the Velvet. Wears great. What I like about this for you, is that this took 10 yrs off your look. Your skin is flawless. You go girl! I think you found your Holy Grail... Big Hugs! xoxo Sharon
You're so beautiful! I hope I look this AMAZING when I'm over 50...Love your videos & hope you have a blessed day!!
Thank you, Dear Angie, for all your videos, especially for foundations research (real science level!), great work. It is so helpful.
I have tried a sample of this and really liked it a lot. I have been on the fence on buying it. I have been looking for over a year now for my holy grail foundation and can't seem to find it. I am 55 and skin does change a lot! The pores and fine lines and small wrinkles are coming. Thanks for the great reviews for all of the foundations. You have come a long way in the past couple years with your channel. Congrats Angie!
Thank you so much for your reviews. It really helps. You always look great! Have a great day!
I tried this several months ago and didn't like it. Now, after watching your video, I realised why. I had been applying it with a brush, beauty blender and primer each time! I will try it again without the primer and using my fingers! thanks Angie x
Thanks for another great review!! You look absolutely wonderful in this video!!
So glad you finally found it!!!! :) wish there was one just like it for dry skin. Love your videos
Hello, I have been using this and I also love it for all the same reasons... I am 48 and this is the best foundation I have found.
I agree. This foundation is amazing!
Hello Brian
Because of this video I went out and bought velvet lumiere !! I love it and can’t believe I put something with this beautiful of a finish on with my fingers! I am returning all of the foundations I bought including EL double wear after I see how long the lumiere lasts today. Thanks for helping me find my holy grail too!!
Wow Angie, now I have to try this. I have agreed with you on so many foundations that we both own. I was sold on It cosmetics powder foundation. But I have to try this one. My poor pocket book, lol. Love ya girl.

I didn't know foundation could even do what it does! Weightless and dries down quickly but not tacky. I couldn't stand the tacky feeling with my other foundation.. I do wish it had more coverage and I'm still trying to find a way to build this up.. All in all.. Great stuff and worth every penny. Thank you Angie!
+Lynn J I totally agree, and I'm so happy you tried it and like it!!
Yay!! You can't go wrong with Chanel! :)
WOW!!!
Just watched all the foundation video s and I must say this one is really the best!
I was amazed that you are 50! I think your skin is fab!
And with this foundation you look stunning!
BIG LOVE for this one!
Oh and I must say, I love your voice, I think thats also very fine in a video!
So thumbs up!!!
I love Chanel foundations and I usually hate scents in my foundations, but Chanel's scent literaly makes me smile. Loooove your eyeshadow-you have truly mastered this application, would love to see a tutorial with this drug store pallet!!!! xo Looking younger everyday!!!!!
+jillf24 Maybelline Blushed Nudes tutorial for this look coming up on tuesday!
+HotandFlashy thanks Angie - ur a mind reader!
today is the day!!!
I purchased it after watching you, and I love it. I put it with a brush most of the time (real technique foundation brush),I have a bit of a dry skin- and yes, it clings a bit to dry spots. But it looks so good, so natural. I also find it does not accentuate pores and textures. To describe it best, I would say it just puts a filter of colour on your face. Nothing else. When I wear it, nobody think I have makeup on. Thanks Angie for the best reviews. Xox, Aline
Aline Frisch - SOUL Photography this one is meant for oily skin, considering that it contains alcohol.Try vitalumiere aqua. ☺️
So exciting that you found an HG!
Oh my gosh I LOVE this foundation. Went out and bought it. My hg for now!
Must try this! Yay! Also, loved seeing your pup in the pool. 😀
You do the best review videos. I was so sad when I couldn't get my matte lumiere anymore, now I'll definitely try this one.
Chanel has the best of almost everything. I wish more makeup tutorials use it, but they're more into trends.
Hello Michelle
Bought this and loved it. Thank you so much for your recommendation :) :) I am 61 yrs old and it works great.
I had to come back to your video to thank you for the review. I bought the foundation and I LOVE IT!! I have combo to oily skin and I'm 39. I have also learned a lot about skincare from watching you. I appreciate you so much!!
Holy grail -- woo-hoo! I definitely want to try this now! Thank you for your honest and thorough reviews! 😀😀😀
Awww adorable pooch in the pool.
I like that you can use this foundation just w your fingers
I have tried this out recently because of you and I have such greasy t zone and dry around my mouth. After my 12 hour shift the makeup looks fantastic, it doesn't come off with my blotter and does a bit of oil control. It's sheer but buildable to medium and goes well on top of my regular moisturizer. Finish is nice, for once I didnt need powdering. For a guy, this is an amazing skin enhancer.
I'm going to buy this for sure. Your description of this reminds me of my holy grail foundation, Lancome Nude Miracle liquid to powder. I'm 51 and it really makes my skin look incredible. I bet you would love it too! xo, Tracy
You already have gorgeous skin, this is the second time i saw the Chanel one, do you love it?!?!
Angie, Thank you so much for all your hard work to help us mature ladies find our holy grail foundation! I will get a sample and try it! It is expensive, but you get what you pay for as the old saying goes!
Hmmm I think I might like it sis, will have to try it, thanks for the great review.
xoxoNisha
+SugarPuffAndFluff It's time I returned the favor from the EL Double Wear Light!! xo
Can't wait to try it! Thanks, for all that you do for us!!!
I bought this at the weekend due to your recommendation, looking forward to using it.
This foundation looks great on you and it is one of my favs. I sometimes will mix it will my Estee Lauder double wear and that gives it more coverage. I hope you have a great weekend. xo Carolyn
I am new to your channel and have been binge watching. So happy I saw your review of Chanel foundation. I have been using this for 2 years and love it. I try other foundations due to youtube videos recommendations and never happy. This is the first video I have seen of my foundation being reviewed and you said everything that I feel about it. I didn't know about the using your fingers to apply so I will start doing that. Now I have normal to dry skin and I know some have said it's more for combo oily, but I never felt like it dried my skin, in fact my skin feels so soft and smooth. So thanks again and goodbye to all other foundations. You know that old saying if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Next I am trying to find a concealer for dark circles under the eye but I know you don't have them and still have not been able to find one that works.
hi Angie,
cant wait to try this, thanks for the review and the photo of you with the foundation on looked amazing! so beautiful and glamorous, wish the brand had more shades though and was cruelty free.
I'm 43, and have extremely dry skin. I'm glad you actually mention there's alcohol in it (no for me) and that it's not really for drier skin types. Thanks for the review. I found it really helpful! :-)
Angie it looks beautiful. I'm going to sample it. Thanks so much for this video series!!!
I'm a relatively new subscriber and I have to say, I love love love your reviews! So detailed, honest and informative. I just love how you describe things and your voice and the way you talk can even calm me down after a busy day :) Plus, I have the feeling you are getting more beautiful in every video - your eyes look amazing in this one! What can I say, I just completely fell in love with your channel! Please never stop making videos :) Oh and this gave me a push to finally try out a Chanel Foundation which for some strange reason I never did so far. xo
Hi Angie. Thank you so much for this review. I too was scouring endless beauty counters for the perfect foundation but to no avail. That is, until I stumbled across your channel. I purchased this foundation,Chanel velvet lumiere, based solely on your review. I simply love this product. It does absolutely everything you say it does, and then some! You have no idea what a great service you are doing for people like me. Once again, thank you and stay blessed♥
Sorry, got the name of the foundation all mixed up, but you know what I mean, lol!
Oh my gosh, I am so happy for you! And so happy for me, too! I know if this did these things for you, it will for me too! I am so excited!!!!!
Yippee!! Thank you Angie for the return of foundation Friday! I am only 40 but have real issues with oily skin, enlarged pores and generally just trying to keep my skin looking decent!Will definitely go to my closest Chanel counter (here in Cambridge, UK), and get a sample to try in my skin tone, I am bit darker then you ;-). will report back when I do!Thanks again! Love your channel xxx
Much love Angie, I love your videos I'm a 31 yr old Welsh girl will be soon starting my Retin A journey bcos of you xx
Awesome! I feel like there should be some big orchestra music!!! Congrats ! I am going to try a sample. Thank you Angie!!
I purchased because of you! I luv it too! #40&fabulous
40 beige- thank you ❤️❤️
Hello Annie
How exciting that you found a winner! I honestly doubted I would ever see this video from you. :) I hate that it's so pricey, but some things in life are just worth it. I'm definitely getting a sample of it the next time I'm at the mall. I'm glad that you're going to keep trying other things. I'm still hoping something less expensive might work as well. By the way, I like what's on your lips here.
I haven't used a liquid foundation in years but this review makes me want to give it a try again! Many thanks!
Love, Love your reviews, you are the BEST!!!
CONGRATS!! Finally found holy grail. I will be getting it because I have similar issues as you. Pores especially!
I purchased this foundation months ago and it always looked terrible! However, I was determined to like it, so I kept trying. Then I found this video and applied with my fingers and voila! Holy grail for me too! Thank you!!!
One of the best foundations ever.
Hi Angie!! I went to Nordstrom's last night, picked up samples of colors 30 & 40 Beige. Tried 30 Beige today, although too light, I love the finish....wow!! I don't think I've ever tried anything like this product. Thanks. I just hope the sales associate was wrong (she told me they were discontinuing this product). Thanks for all you do on your channel. I am learning so much watching you!!! Barbara
Man, Chanel! If only this were a Wet n' Wild review! Congrats on finding a winner!!!!
Bought this foundation today and love it! It did quite well with the 100+ heat index. Thank you so much for recommending it. Love your channel.
Yay! I'm so happy for you. You've finally found a holy grail foundation!
I am trialing this foundation today. The colour match is a little dark but other than that, so far, I'm loving it. Thank you for reviewing this foundation.
Your eyes and eyelashes are looking great today.
The new NARS Velvet Matte Skin tint reminds me so much of the finish of PL Velvet.
i am happy for you! i use de Chanel vita lumiere cos that is for mature normal to dry skin. maybe you can try it to for using in the winter!
