  • Would you mind giving the volume of the foundation? (: I couldn't find it online. Is it the typical 1oz? Thank you!

  • hey christine i was just wondering what your color was in a makeup forever foundation? also what's your color in the maybelline concealer? thanks :)

  • How does it compare to MAC face and body foundation? Which one do you recommend?

  • haven't been able to keep track of these newer vids, I do miss watching them it's been a while. I've kinda been going through a spiritual crisis in my life and so this mortal coil is experiencing some depression of the spirits lately. also have not been able to get some decent sleep, and time is going by so fast. already almost halfway through the quarter here at the University of California. I'm scared of facing my fears head on, but it's the only way I'll get over it. The End

  • also, wow your skin looks incredible!

  • wow it took me four months to realize I somehow got unsubbed from your channel....this is what happens when you have too many subs lol oh well resubscribed!

  • Is this foundation transfer resistant? :)

  • Comment removed

  • Are you a singer? You sang "around my face" in perfect tune LOL anyway thank you for the review. I wasn't sure if I were to get the vitalumiere or the aqua and I think bcuz of your review I will get the aqua

  • I want to get this for my friend for her birthday because I love it!! And I think she will too, however I have combination skin , but it never gets super oily , my friend has oily skin. Do you think this would work for her? I am not sure and I dont want to waste the money and then it looks bad or doesnt work because of her skin. :)

  • this is so expensive!

  • Interesting. Her voice is very similar to Jessica Alba's. Also -- though I know most won't see it, at all -- , she has a similar look to Jessica Alba. Obviously, there are many many differences, but she still has a *general* similarity. They both have a 'happy look', for lack of knowing how to say it. Both are very beautiful, as well. But that *is* obvious.

  • The Sheseido sunscreen has dimethicone too. Just saying.....

  • DOMO *at the back* hehe

  • Are you using ur microphone? I love this review and the quality!

  • are you gaining weight or it's just the hair? anyways you're still pretty :)

  • Missha is offering 40% off all items to celebrate their 3rd birthday if you want to stock up on their BB creams =D

  • Your reviews are so fantastic. Super informative and sooo helpful. Thank you so much for going to the effort for us!

  • You always give the most honest and perfect reviews :) :)

  • I love your honest review!!! Very HELPFUL!!!! thank you so much

  • I have the OLD formula of chanel's vitalumiere and i really love it. It gave me a nice dewy flawless look. I have not tried the new formula yet.

  • are you wearing elf eyeshadow in this video?

  • you're sooo pretty :| *envies*

  • Revlon has a new line for oily skin, better than the color stay one and control oil very well throughout the day. But apparently they will sell in US later because this is like a trial. Hope you can get a chance to try out soon :-)

  • She's pregnant? Just curious coz she said Hormones... I know she could mean just her period but made me curious.. lol

  • I love this foundation. It actually photographs extremely well. I've taken flash photography many times and I never get the white cast. Love it!

  • HI Christine! Did you set with a powder?

  • since it is water based, does that mean that if you cry or if your face gets wet, it was run and wear off? would setting with powder change that?

  • The foundation looks amazing on you.

  • I have a sample of this at home waiting to be tried!  Can't wait!

  • which BB cream??!?!?!?!!??????!!!!!

  • @voxtrotlous Missha Perfect Cover BB cream. Her review link is in the description box.

  • can you do reviews on the new american BB creams??

  • Thank you for doing this review ^w^ A really extentive review and covers all elements we consider :) Was struggling with deciding but now I've got a much better idea x

  • Also the BB cream tend me cause small congestion on the face after I use it for a week, so I suspect she has pimple not just because of hormonal changes? Sorry Just my thought and I am a big fan of her.

  • How long has Christina use this foundation for? I hope that's not her first time to use this and give review. I think Missha BB cream got a strong fragrance too,and also it has so high SPF the BB cream doesnt look good on photo at all. I a

  • @2010jesslee if you watch the video again i cover all of your questions :) also i've worn my bb cream for a while now and it doesn't break me out but of course keep in mind we all have different skin. i have a separate review on the missha one if you'd like to know my thoughts on it

  • How does it compare to MUFE F&B?

  • what is your favorite medium-high coverage foundation? a good one for a night out, so not concerning spf. i have the exact same skin type as you, except maybe even oilier.

  • Thanks for an excellent, thorough review. I was seriously considering this foundation based on other opinions but the lack of coverage + alcohol content = a no buy for me. You rock!! Yay for your in-depth reviews :)

  • GIRL, YOU HAVE SO MUCH VOLUME! *jealousss*

  • I love the smell of this foundation! I usually hated scented products but this one is so nice. I really love the foundation, I prefer a light coverage. Thanks for your review, it looks really nice on you!

  • @Virtualbeautycounter i'm glad it works out on you!

  • domo

  • have you tried the lancome macqui blanc miracle foundation? how do they compare?

  • the lighting made it hard to see how it works

  • @dearbeau watch it in HD

  • u look bigger in this video.. u gain weight?? but still pretty of course :)

  • i like the scientific part LOL thx for the review !

  • Is this similar to neutrogena healthy skin foundation??? If not what is this foundation most similar to?? (I guess I'm asking for a dupe or for more natural looking foundation)

  • @bellgirlamy nope it's very different! it is more similar to mac's face & body. the neutrogena isn't watery and gives more coverage

  • @xteeener ah! icic. have you tried mac's face & body?? i've been wanting to find a good natural yet mediumish coverage foundation. if you've tried face & body, can you do a video or write short explanations on you think of it compared to other similar foundations like chanel one? btw, THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY!! i've been watching your videos for more than 2 years now! :) hehe thank you for your honest review!

  • So helpful.thanx for the chemistry class, I learned so much ;)

  • I agree so much with you. It's great and all but I don't reach for it very often for the same reasons you mentioned. Also, it's kinda hard for me to get it perfectly blended sometimes. I feel like I've wasted money on it but I'm glad I tried it out. Superb review!

  • You're sooo pretty!

  • I think this foundation evens out my skin tone perfectly. It is a really natural finish. So weird, I don't find it drying at all! Maybe it' s my skin type :p I think it's great :) Good review though! Nice to hear a different take on it

  • thanks for the review, i'ts helpful i'm still trying to look for a perfect foundation for my skin

  • i think u gained weight @_@

  • @jjeternity what makes you think she did? She looks the same!

  • I use this and i love it! 

  • I actually bought the perfection lumiere and I had an allergic reaction so I exchanged it for the Vita lumiere aqua which is better for my skin. I do have sensitive skin so I can't really wear heavy coverage foundations. That's why I love this product! thank you for the review!

  • Yeah, the SA at the Chanel counter insisted its good for dry skin but when I tried the samples and when the SA applied it on my face, it totally emphasized the dryness of my skin. It was SO obvious and yet she insisted that its good for dry skin. -_-

  • great review. It looks like it works great :)

  • I got a sample and LOVED it, but I've been saving to get it :D

  • Dont mind the reviews, but i much rather prefer to see your awesome tutorials♥

  • it works for me very well during the summer time, because it has a very light coverage and very easy to blend, but now I barely use that

  • I actually just returned this foundation. For me it was too drying. It made my skin feel tight and itchy.

  • nice!

  • is it comparable to MUFE face & body?

  • I really just love this foundation in the summer! I prefer heavier coverage foundations in the winter, but this is just a godsend in the summer. Much better than a TM, but I'd really like to try a bb cream soon too. :)

  • i LOVEEE your videos! i've been watching your videos for YEARS! i've been subscribed to you for years on a different account but ever so then, i finally made a new youtube and wanted to started my own! hope you stop by and check out my videos and subscribe :]

  • I absolutely love this type of in depth review, especially concerning the ingredients. Most beauty gurus may mention certain ingredients, but for the most part they don't talk about it. I would love to know more!

  • Could u please do a video focusing on blush and what colors look best on certain skin tone and what not? Thanks :)

  • Which mascara are you wearing on your bottom lashes?

  • is it comparable to the Laura Mercier? please do a comparison. :)

  • could you talk about more of the ingredients in makeup in detail in another video? i think it'd help us all out alot in picking products!! :D

  • what nail polish do you have on ? i'm in love with itt(:

  • I love how you don't get embarrassed that you have acne. You just act like its just part of life. Which it is :)

  • I spy Domo lol

  • I have the same problem with it!!! too late to return it and I only use it some times but I don't really like how my face gets oily so fast

  • your nail color!!<3

  • you should seriously consider the laura mercier silk creme foundation. its amazing! i have really oily skin, and its literally my holy grail foundation despite the "creme" portion.

  • LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE your nail color♥

    

  • You look really pretty <333 Your hair looks really nice this video!

  • h word? hormones isn't a bad word.

  • damn it looks like you're right in front of me :)

  • What is your best/favorite drug store mascara?

  • hd makes a slight, and positive difference!

  • "as you can clearly see I don't have perfect skin.." lol you're silly girl!

  • can you do a review on the maybelline concealer?

  • your beauty makes the lighting insignificant

  • I have skin like yours but dry I should try this 

  • Wow, you just saved me $45 :D

  • i thought you already applied it! you've such a perfect skin!

  • "as you can see, i dont have perfect skin..." what?!?! where is a single flaw? haha you're perfect girl!

  • @ayybaybayy11 man it's so frustrating how much youtube uploading kills the quality! lol i swear they are there and i am nowhere near perfect :) <3

  • hi, i love how thorough this review is. thank you...! what mascara are you wearing? its really pretty on you

  • @simplymadeup i believe i layered benefit's they're real mascara over a waterproof one since my lashes don't stay curled with the benefit alone :)

  • i see domo =D

  • this might apply nicely but it would wreak havoc on my skin over the months of using it. alcohol causes free radical damage. if you have any sort of acne, it's bad for the healing process and healthy collagen production (which is relevant for anti-aging too). i've heard good things about this foundation, but alcohol is enough to make me skip (especially as it's a main ingredient). so thanks for reiterating that to others! :)

  • Domo!

  • what shade are you in mac?

  • i hate how makeup is so much cheaper in the US.

  • VERY helpful review. I love how I can always count on getting a very honest, well thought out review from you! Thanks!

  • Wow, this is probably the most extensive review on the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation I've seen. I've been eyeing it for a long time, but I wasn't sure if I should get it because of the price and I have oily skin. But I was thinking it would be good for winter, when my skin is more combination. Hearing that is not that moisturizing and that it has alcohol really saved my $45. Thank you so much Christine!

  • H word? Horny jaja good thing you cleared it up and said hormones!

  • what do you do after you apply with your hand? my foundation is everywhere on my hand. its hard to take it outtt and it dries out my hand... :(

  • @hjdaisykang wash your hands? 

  • @hjdaisykang Just wash your hands. :)

  • @hjdaisykang i use cheap make up wipes to wipe anything off my hands while applying makeup on my face :)

  • What bb cream do you use? I have similar skin type to you so it would be helpful(: xx

  • wow i can really see the difference in HD. couldn't really see the red spot you were pointing at before but now i can. the beauty spots too lol. the lighting and colour is fine on my screen, very nice :)

  • Which BB cream do you use??

  • When you said your skin wasn't perfect in the beginning of the video, it already looked like you had foundation on. After you applied the foundation, I couldn't really see the difference. Ok im gonna switch to HD....I

  • Hello! First time commenting. This has been most helpful. Thank you so much for the thorough review.

    Ps:Lighting's great over here. X

  • I love this! With a primer for pores and oil, concealer, and a translucent powder, I'm set. I do have to touch up w/ powder during the day on my T-zone, but otherwise it is perfect. However, I don't think this foundation works for everyone. Since there was so much hype on yt, I was color matched first to see how it worked on my skin. If anyone is considering it.. def get a sample first!

  • I love your videos, they're really helpful and detailed. I just dislike how you're always so safe with the products you choose for review. I'd like to see you take the plunge and try out something that a million other YouTubers haven't talked about for a year already :)

  • do you have a review of your favorite foundation? we have similar skin types so I'm thinking it may work for me too.

  • I bought it and I was so excited to try it but I hated it too, looks great the first 30 minutes but after that it makes my skin looks so greasy and it slides so badly, I HATED THIS so I swapped. This is so expensive so if you girsl are thinking in buy it I recommend to ask for a sample first =)

  • I watch in full screen HD and the picture is super clear to me! Love your videos much, keep them coming :)

  • I love this foundation. Its my one of my everyday foundations. I like the how light it is. my friend has it too & she hates it. outs something you have to try out. Everyone is different. Great review!

  • Goddddd, I want it so bad after watching this but I don't want to spend the money. :( Mainly because I don't have it. Urgh haha.

  • @kittygoesmeoxw same here! ;(

  • I watched in in HD it's just kinda white on my computer but since it's fine for so many people I suppose it's because of my laptop so I have to figure something out for myself. =)

  • @HappyLifex3 no the video is a bit bright--wouldn't hurt to bring it down a notch :) i really want to make sure everyone can see the details and colors well so thanks for letting me know! i appreciate it :)

  • Looks like your wearing nothing at all... nothing at all... nothing at all

  • I recently tried Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion. And boy was I glad to finally find a BB cream in my shade! You know how BBs only come in 1-2 shades and they're usually too light on me (MAC nc20 here). This one comes in 3 shades. What's best, it's perspiration and sebum resistant! Tested and proven in the hot and humid tropics of Asia! Give it a shot!

  • Have you tried the Tinted Moisturizer from Physicians Formula? The Orange one with SPF?

    If you've tried it, how would you compare it to this Chanel? I have the PF one and I really love it but I think I may need a bit more coverage.

  • could you recommend a bb cream for light/medium combination dehydrared sensitive skin? anyone? :)

  • thx for another wonderful video full of informative details! xx

  • I love how descriptive and honest your reviews are! Very helpful :)

  • Hey i know this is out of the blue but do you still have your epilador ??

  • lighting and color look good to me

  • I don't think there is anything wrong with the lighting at all. But I think applying it to half your face so we can see the difference would help us see the before and after. Or maybe have pictures of your before picture, after 1 application and then the 2nd application all side by side. Your lighting is perfect!

  • Love ur review videos! You're always so honest!

  • try mixing the foundation with the bb cream

  • I've been waiting for a review like this for yellow skintones. Kinda skeptical bout buying the product. I've heard the Bojouris foundation is a good dupe for it.

  • I think the lighting looks good...I have the foundation and know how light it actually applies and looks like normal. Thanks for your review! :D

  • i really like the finish of this on you, very pretty. do you think there is a drugstore equivalent or something similar? i'm on a budget!

  • bb cream is still d best and affordable

  • @xteeener what bb creamd o you use?

  • Hey, love you review but what color in MAC are you as a reference comparison to Chanel Vitalumiere aqua?

  • DOMOKUM *_*

  • GREAT GREAT GREAT video! first time when i bow in front of a guru. THANK you for pointing ALCOHOL in the ingredients, it is a MAJOR iritant and makes the skin react (now or later) very badly. (if it's butyl alcohol or cetearyl alcohol, those are fatty acids, the don't do any amount of harm).

  • @mnyvld Thanks for pointing out the fatty acid alcohols, many people think 'alcohol' in general as a bad thing that irritates and dries out your skin, but the ones you mentioned are actually moisturizers. More people need to know that!

  • PLEASE DO A REVIEW ON bourjois healthy mix foundation please.......

  • I love this foundation its my favourite, evens out my skin but you cant tell its on at all, i have to use a separate concealer for under eyes and blemishes if i have any

  • I don't think it's the lighting that some people can't see the difference of the before and after; it's the computer screen that you have.

  • @pajnpis we don't see her computer screen, but the video that she filmed with her camera.

  • My skin, especially around my nose area where it's prone to dryness, get really REALLY dry after I use this product! My skin was PEELING a couple of days later. Eww right? So I put alot of moisturizer before and after using this product.Another downside, it dries out pretty quickly, so it's quite hard to blend, unlike BB cream. But yeah! I totally agree with your review and it gives a BEAUTIFUL finish :) Thank you for this review! <3 from Singapore, Hannah.

  • I haven't tried it, as much as I want to, because of the alcohol. I love silicones in products because of the natural finish they give. Alcohol can create an oily kickback because it's drying & the skin tries to combat that drying effect by producing more oil. Also, I don't like fragrance in things either. Not necessary. Great review!

  • @ClementineCutie Not all alcohols are the same. If it's butyl alcohol or cetearyl alcohol those are fatty acids that are actually moisturizers. They do absolutely no harm to the skin and are not the same 'bad' type of 'alcohol' that many people associate with drying out the skin and making it irritated.

  • DOMO -3

  • PLEASE recommend a good foundation that won't show up as a ghostface on the flash photography, because although i love this Chanel aqua foundation, it really does come up white in bright flash pics! thank you xxxxx

  • @audemars90 You just have to choose a foundation that doesn't have an SPF! It won't reflect the light from the flash.

  • I love this foundation, def one of the best ones i've ever tried (along with Diorskin nude and Giorgio Armani)

  • What BB cream is your fav?

  • I really like this foundation but I can't wear it as it is too pink/red for my skintone :-/

  • I want this foundation:)

    I will soon have a foundation routine on my channel:) please stop by and check it out

  • i actually love the lighting! the video quality/lighting looks really good on my macbook pro.

  • what bb cream do u use? review and application video please :)

  • Thanks so much for doing this review. I am still a newbie when it comes to liquid foundation. I have been using Bare Minerals for years, but I recently started to use Cover Girl NatureLuxe foundation, and I also wanted to try out the Neutrogena Healthy Skin foundation (I know they are both pretty light foundations)...have you tried either and if so, how would you say the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation compares (if at all)?

  • Hi Xteener, which BB cream do you use ? thank you

  • Domo!

  • what bb cream are you using?

  • This foundation was one of the few that I have finished. I loved it and I don't remember it drying my skin either. As you said its different on different types of skin :)))

  • I thought the quality was great. :D sounds like a good foundation.
