Chanel Le Blanc Cushion Foundation LE BLANC BRIGHTENING GENTLE TOUCH FOUNDATION Review

 This is made specifically for Asian skin according to Chanel's website and currently ONLY available in ASIA.

"CHANEL LE BLANC Oil-in-Cream Compact Foundation reveals unprecedented power to deliver perfect evenness, lasting translucency and maintain hydration. The complexion is comforted and radiates pure healthy light throughout the day, no matter what the season is.

Specifically designed for Asian skin, the unique and gentle SMART THERMAL COMPLEX helps skin protect itself against the aggressions that occur during climate variations. Each compact is hand-stamped to seal in freshness and effectiveness." - Taken from Chanel's Singapore website.
 I waited patiently for a color match and not knowing what cushion I wanted.

 They put on this gown like thing on me to protect my clothes lol just for a color match and this happened in JAPAN not Singapore. I was matched with 10 (I am a MAC NC20) and they picked a different cushion than the one I originally thought I'd want. I have dry skin and wanted medium coverage.
I was recommended this product instead of the OIL IN CREAM FOUNDATION (The one I posted above).

"Perfect your radiance with the first CHANEL brightening cushion: gentle yet powerful.

LE BLANC BRIGHTENING GENTLE TOUCH FOUNDATION is formulated with naturally derived ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and licorice, to reveal a radiant complexion with a healthy glow.

The lightweight texture creates an immediate comfort and intense long lasting moisturising sensation, while delivering a high-coverage pearlescent makeup finish for up to 12 hours*. SPF 30/PA+++ provides high protection.

Day after day, the CHANEL brightening cushion is your closest on-the-go ally for healthy pure light." - Taken from Chanel Singapore's website.
 They told me I didn't need to use powder and if I did want to, I could use it on my T zone. I couldn't believe how natural it looked. It looked like I was born with super nice skin hahaha. I am wearing the chanel cream blush here and no powder. It looked so natural and it was so moisturizing! She also DIDN'T USE ANY CONCEALER and she padded a little of this onto my bags ONLY!!!! Now that's magic. LMAO. This is what it looks like WITH JUST THE CUSHION and CREAM BLUSH on my face. O_O;;; My skin filter is set at 15 for SNOW just FYI for this photo. lol.
At a steep 70 bucks for this foundation and 60 ish for refill I think?! I'd definitely buy it again because it gave me a really natural finish! Sadly this line is ONLY available in ASIA as of right now. Beware of counterfeit products online and I was not paid to write this review.

THREE Complete Harmony Foundation Review

81% naturally derived ingredients for this foundation according to their official site. I might've written a review on this already, but I want to write an update on it again! This is probably one of my fav foundations because of how natural it looks on my skin and doesn't cake over my skin like many other foundations I've tried. I am a NC20 and have combination skin where my T zone can get oily. This foundation's coverage is medium and buildable. Less is more for this foundation. I first tried this foundation in Hong Kong and got it in SOGO. It was very humid there and this foundation held up really well under those conditions. I think the finish might look even better if I mix it with a little moisturizer. I got matched to color 202. I was using FENTY beauty foundation which is great, but not as good as this THREE foundation. Fenty is definitely on the thicker and heavier side. My only complaint is the not so convenient packaging. I dip a q tip in it and swirl it around in order to mix it before applying it onto my face. I don't double dip and it'll be annoying to do it while traveling. I tried THREE Angelic Symbiosis Foundation because of my pleasant experience with this foundation; however, I disliked it and threw it away after a few uses. It looked so cakey and heavy on my face.



"SPF35/PA+++ UV absorber-free
Free from parabens, synthetic perfumes, organic dyes, animal-derived ingredients, and mineral oils.

This foundation stretches out like a yogini while its moisture adds to the skin’s firmness.
The creamy liquid foundation makes its debut, keeping makeup on any expressive face.
Covering up the signs of aging that bother you, it blends well with the skin to bring out a firm, natural finish all day.
The moisture-rich texture, like a skin care product, allows you to reapply your makeup as much as you like.
Controlling the coverage strength, it completes the beauty of “polished, bare skin” instead of “skin covered with makeup.”
Utilizing the light reflected off clear pearls, it creates airy ageless expressions." - Copied from THREE's website.
