I am in my late thirties. I used to wear quite heavy stage like make up, something like Estée Lauder Double wear. As I have gotten older I like something very easy I can put on without a mirror, no streaks, also something that gives me a plump glow without the caked on make up look.

I have a pale complexion, pretty clear, combination skin prone to a few blackheads on my nose where I am conscious foundation may clump or clog.

The water fresh tint from Chanel I began using about 5 to 6 years ago when the similar compact foundation was discontinued.

It comes with a dense small brush which I now have about 10 of, and I stopped using the brush to apply, preferring my fingers instead because the product is £55 expensive and I found the brush soaked up a lot of product.

In the winter I choose the medium shade. I’d recommend going in to a department store with absolutely no make on and ask to have a go.

You’ll be surprised how little you need and how your face is transformed without looking like you’ve got any make up on.

I’d say for anyone who likes coverage that looks like you’re not wearing make up this is the product for you.

I am pale, Irish complexion with pink in my cheeks, and the medium plus shade in the gives me enough colour to look sunkissed without any orange tone.

This foundation is not to be confused with Les Briges “Touché de teint” which is the same idea only denser coverage and comes in a round cylinder tube container instead of square.
