I had serious doubts that any of these would be dark enough for me, but I guess so(?). Maybe they'll be in one of the department stores when I go out tomorrow.

Hi Ladies! If I wear 94 ambre in Perfection Lumiere (can use 114 in summer or when wanting to look more tan) what shade should I get in the Les Beige powder? I want to use as an all over face powder, whether over makeup or on bare skin.

I hope I can see them in person tomorrow, but I doubt I will since I can't find them on any site besides Chanel. I'm thinking I can get away with #60. I'm not the darkest shade in Perfection Lumiere, so I don't think I'll be the darkest in this powder. I hope the shade doesn't shift after application like PL, though. Thought I had the perfect one in that only for it to go way dark on me after half an hour. I have a bronzer, so I want to use this powder as a foundation or finishing powder. Fingers crossed.[COLOR=0000FF]Shontay. I ordered #70, the darkest. If it's too dark to use as an overall face powder, it will be a bronzer for me because I've been wanting to purchase a new one. Can't wait to hear what you think after checking them out in person.[/COLOR]

This picture is from cafemakeup.com sorry if already posted... not sure I need #70 the darkest, especially if these powders oxidize.

Ok Chanel peeps, I got to test a few of these today at Nordies. I order the #10 on chanel.com which is a VERY pale pink tint kind of vanilla. The #20 is just as pale but with a slight yellow tint. So then the Chanel lady that I've known there for a long time says, lets try the #60 on you for a slight color/bronzer & it was BEAUTIFUL!
yep, #60! Its a slight pink/rose tone bronze. I would have never picked out the #60 for myself. Its such a beautiful shade. I will order it too.
The texture is amazingly luxurious silky extremely fine milled. FABULOUS texture which just melted into my own skin. They are EXTREMELY sheer!!!!!!! & forgiving. They did not have the Kabuki brush. Is that an online exclusive?
I also tested the new brush set. It was soft & wonderful too. I may get it later. I had already bought jeans & boots so..................

It would be perfect as a finishing powder because of how insanely sheer they are. But then, I only tested them on my hand.

How yellow did #10 & #20 appear when applied? This is my fear that they will be too yellow on my skin.Ok Chanel peeps, I got to test a few of these today at Nordies.

Wow. I'm thinking I can pass with #50. #60 seems too red/warm(?). I'm more on the neutral side. I really want to test these things.This picture is from cafemakeup.com sorry if already posted... not sure I need #70 the darkest, especially if these powders oxidize.

Same that I was thinking. I'm darker than you but #60 looks too red and I have yellow/golden undertones.

No, it will not be too yellow. The shades are SOOOO subtle & sheer. Its just a HINT of the pink or yellow. They almost looked the same on my skin with just the slightest tone difference. But I could tell. The 10 is subtle pink, the 20 is subtle yellow. Hope that help my dear.
These are extremely forgiving on the skin.

The 60 in that picture is not a good representation of how it looks in person. It doesn't look like that. Its very pretty

So I should probably get 20 if I want to use it as a all over powder?

Yes, if slight yellow tones work better for you. Actually, I wouldn't mind the 20 either to correct redness. Its just the most sheer hint of yellow undertone

Oh yay, I am so glad to hear that you loved them! I think that the 20 I ordered will work great for me. And hopefully the slight yellow tint cancels my redness.

Its such an elegant beautiful compact & the powders are just dreamy. I hope you love it on. I think that the slight yellow tint will indeed help with redness. The 60 was THE most subtle pretty color/slight bronzer on my skin.
