the gum chewing is really distracting.

@skeletora I'm sorry!

Thanks for the review. I may bypass and get Matchmaster. Btw I don't think Chanel was just including Black people. They were thinking Black, Asian, Hispanic, Indian etc. Quite a massive amount of potential revenue by including most of the world which is a lot darker than it is white.

Thank you for this review. Funny enough I too was turned away from 2 different Chanel counters until one lady took the chance and put on the double perfection matte powder in 160 Sepia and it matches me really well. You are lighter brown like me and even tho we aren't super light skinned we are not really dark either so it is sad that they make an assumption and turn us away.

Thank you so much for doing this review ,it really helped me. :)

From what I see the foundation looks ok on your skin tone but if you're not 100% satisfied you can always return it. No point in keeping a $60 foundation if it's not up to par for you : )

Girl it looks SO GOOD ON YOU. I got it more or less recently and I really enjoy it. I feel like any new release by Chanel is hyped up to some extent and that may have to with why people are just giving it an ok rating. I PERSONALLY think-after using Armani Lasting Silk, Chanel Vitalumier Aqua, Lancome Teint Idole Ultra ext- BACICALLY quite a FEW expensive foundations- it is 100% absolutely up to par in terms of quality, lasts, looks da bomb- i encourage you all to get samples.

oh that chewing gum very classy

[LettyMatty]

Thank you so much for your very informative review. Just got a sample today but haven't got around to trying it yet. I am finally pleased that Companies like Lancome and Chanel realise that women of colour do like foundations too! So thanks again for your honest review. Don't really need to mention the gum chewing so I won't. Look forward to viewing more of your reviews in the future. xx

its helped my oil too, so weird! i think it has like a dewy efffect thats what i was told :/

[thinpursuit]

i have it too, but i have really yellow undertones nd i dont think its red at all

I heard these oxidize, did you try samples first? Some people actually took the shade that is one step lighter because of this.
