About how much the decorative cosmetics, in particular, widely advertised tonal cream "Chanel", meet the expectations of the consumers assigned to them, and what cosmeticians talk about this product, and this article will be discussed.

Fashion house Chanel. A bit of history

Restraint, elegance, chic - these are the main epithets by which you can characterize all that is produced under the Chanel brand. It was to these qualities that Gabrielle (more commonly known as Coco) Chanel focused, selflessly sculpting her collections, which she managed to do fully.

The emergence of the fashion house Chanel - the full merit of the ideological inspiration and its founder Coco Chanel. She was born on August 9, 1883 in a suburb of France in a large family. She did not have a father, and after the death of her mother Gabriel was sent to the monastic shelter.

Even at a young age in the character Chanel began to manifest such features as independence, a thirst for freedom, a love for creativity, which resulted in the beginning of a career in the cabaret "La Rotond" as a singer. It is fair to say that she sang very mediocre, which, however, did not stop her from getting acquainted with influential and rich people. Subsequently, she became the mistress of one of them.

E. Balzan, that was the name of this man, bought a store for Gabriel, where she was smartly selling the hats she sewed herself. Success went up the hill, and already in 1910 the salon moved to Paris.

In the following 3 years, Coco Chanel introduced fashion to a new fabric for ladies' dresses - jersey. After that, the spiral of success began to swirl more and more rapidly - in 1921 appeared the famous perfume Chanel number 5, and in 1926 - "a little black dress."

Cosmetics Chanel

The first cosmetics under the brand Chanel was published four years after the death of the founder of the fashion house - in 1975. Among the novelties, it was possible to find means for the representatives of both sexes.

The collection of decorative cosmetics has become the most numerous. This included funds for all occasions and for any female whim: all sorts of pencils, lipsticks, blush ... And even the couturier could envy the wealth of Chanel shades at that time - the presentation of the line of the decorative collection was a real breakthrough in the beauty industry. Later the assortment expanded: tonal and corrective agents were added to the meeting.

Cream "Chanel" - one of the most popular groups of products among the entire range of decorative cosmetics of the French fashion house. The great demand for this product is dictated primarily by the name of a name, serving for many as a standard of excellence and quality, as well as the use of natural and rejuvenating ingredients in the composition of corrective agents.

Types of Chanel

To date, the collection of Chanel tonal creams includes the following names:

1. Perfection Lumiere Velvet.
2. Vitalumiere Aqua.
3. Vitalumiere.
4. Vitalumiere Aqua Compact.
5. Perfection Lumiere.
6. Mat Lumiere.
7. Lift Lumiere.

Each of these creams deserves a separate description, since the products are intended for different types of skin and have characteristic features.

Perfection Lumiere Velvet

Perfection Lumiere toned cream with Velvet label is a means not only to smooth the complexion, but also to give it a velvety radiant texture. As a result of the application, the so-called "second skin" effect is created, which is practically not felt due to the special consistency and sufficient moisturizing of the cream. The manufacturer compares this product with a veil and recommends it to women with normal and combination skin.

The collection has 6 shades: 5 of them - variations of beige and 1 pinkish-beige.

Experts note its good sun protection properties (level 15), persistent color, good masking of pores, but at the same time a light enough coating. In the absence of a special brush, the cream is quite possible and it is permissible to apply it by hand. If you want to mask individual spots or pimples, you can point to the surface of the skin. An excellent option for the summer, but begins to "melt" and shine after + 25C.

Vitalumiere Aqua

"Chanel Aqua" - a foundation, developed according to the latest technology. Due to the special texture when applied, it almost immediately merges with the skin and causes an unusual sense of uniformity. This product is also called "tonal water" due to the gentle and light consistency, unobtrusive pleasant aroma and refreshing effect.

Palette has 8 tones: 4 pink-beige and 4 ordinary beige.

Cosmetologists almost unanimously recommend a Chanel Aqua foundation - reviews speak in favor of his ability to visually remove a tired face and to substantially adjust the color. Having tried this product, you can feel that the pores are not hammered, and the skin "breathes" throughout the day, not in the example of tonal means of other producers of the same price category. It does not lubricate. The only inconvenience is the lack of a dispenser, but after a few uses, the necessary skill appears.

Vitalumiere

The tonal cream "Chanel Vitalumier" is a find for women who regularly struggle with a faded complexion. Special active ingredients that moisturize the top layer of the skin create a natural, uniform coating that keeps fresh from morning to night.

The palette consists of 6 natural colors: from almost transparent milk to natural beige and spicy.

Exceptional uniformity of application, underlining of cheekbones, chin, designation of face contour, good choice of natural tones - these are the main characteristics by which cosmetologists award a Chanel Vitalumiere foundation. Reviews about him also pay attention to the possibility of masking small wrinkles and dimples, which is an additional advantage for this product.

Vitalumiere Aqua Compact

The Vitalumiere Aqua Compact face color corrector is enclosed in a round small box, similar to a powder box, and is equipped with a special sponge. However, the texture is not crumbly, but creamy. These foundation creams "Chanel" allow you to make dry and normal skin extremely smooth, radiant and sufficiently moisturized. Perfectly suitable for daily use and occupy the minimum space in the purse.

The shades of this corrector are only 6: standard beige and with a pinkish tint.

This "Chanel Vitalumier" foundation, reviews about which from the visagiste-cosmetologists are very positive, is a variation on the theme of the Vitalumiere Aqua product in a usual bottle. However, it is not so liquid, and the coating can be regulated by sponge from very light to more intense. For economical use, experts recommend using a brush. Vitalumiere Aqua Compact is quite suitable for oily skin, however, during the day the face will have to be dipped with a napkin.

Perfection Lumiere

Perfection Lumiere is designed to hide obvious skin defects. Has increased durability and holds on the face for 15 hours. The texture avoids the effect of layering, even if the foundation is applied by fingers or requires sealing the coating in separate problem areas.

The palette of tones is slightly more than usual - there are only 8 of them.

Perfection Lumiere is a "Chanel" foundation, which is rather controversial. Since this product has a significant powder effect, after the distribution on the surface and absorption, it detects all the peeling. It is recommended only for women with perfect skin. However, at the same time it perfectly harmonizes the complexion, does not clog the pores and looks natural.

Mat Lumiere

As can be seen from the name itself, this product has matting properties. After application, the skin becomes silky and radiates radiance. The composition of the cream includes optical pigments, polymer particles and silicon, promoting its durability, uniform distribution and the creation of a velvet coating.

"Chanel" tonal cream of this category is presented in only 3 shades - light, pink and deep beige.

It is recommended by cosmetologists for owners of oily skin. This cream is applied in a dense layer and practically does not require updating throughout the day, except for small adjustments. Women with dry, skin-prone skin, who want to achieve a matte coating, should use a good moisturizing base before use.

Lift Lumiere

Lift Lumiere - an innovative foundation from Chanel, designed for visual rejuvenation of the skin of the face. The effect is achieved due to the presence of microparticles, especially distributing light. Fine wrinkles are almost completely smoothed out, and deeper ones are not so conspicuous. Polymeric molecules give the skin a light tightness and elasticity.

There are three shades: light, beige and dark natural, and a couple of variations to them.

The temporary effect is the only "conventional" deficiency that this "Chanel" foundation has. Visagistes' comments about this product are reminiscent of the fact that it does not contain any anti-aging substances. Therefore, after the corrector is washed away, all the smoothness of the skin will disappear. In other respects, Lift Lumiere is practically ideal: it does not require additional moistening, it is easy to apply, quickly absorbed, gives a uniform shade, suitable for cold season, and, most importantly, justifies its purpose.

Today, cosmetics brand Chanel - a fairly common product, which has an average price category. Buy Chanel "Chanel" cream in "Letual", "Riv Gosh" or any other store of decorative cosmetics will not be difficult. The most important thing is not to save or buy products at a lower cost. The result will not only be a spoiled impression caused by a fake brand, but a possible allergic reaction.
