I do. I really love Teint miracle and nothing tops this one. I do not even know why I keep buying and trying other ones honestly

Who makes that one? Why do you love it so much

In makeup, we're always looking for that one more something special item. I'm not sure if will ever stop

It's Lancome

beautiful creamy texture. Does not enhance dryness. Great coverage but it feels so light on skin. Blends like a dream. Has glowy finish but no shimmer. Skin just looks so healthy. Every time I use other foundations and go back to this one I notice the difference right away. I will send you picture how it looks on my skin.

I know this product it was one of the first of these lighweight , radiance enhancing found.honestly , i did not like it that much, on me it hoxydized and I much prefrred Dior'nude, but maybe it was reformulated since then

Bought the new Bobbi brown skin foundation stick today so excited to give it a try !!! But still extremely excited for this launch wore it again today and I can confirm it amazing! I hardly need any powder on top to set cos when it hits the skin and is buffed in its a powder finish, I used my benefit 15 hour primer underneath and I can hardly see any wear on it and it's been on for about 6 hours , this foundation gets a thumbs up

I just saw this tip in a review on Makeup Alley:

"The SA told me that the most mess free way to shake is to take the cap off and shake with finger over hole. I found this odd since the illustration on the box just shows to shake (with the cap on)."

Don't know if it helps at all?
It just doesn't get any better than this---a solution presented.....

You'll have plenty of company if you do---all with familiar avatars

Wish I could get it sooner it comes out in the uk on the 11th even that seems a long wait will go to my counter tomorrow and attempt to get another sample, it is so light like vita lumiere aqua and I didn't find it needed much of a powdering only under eyes where I added concealer let me know how you get on

That's so good to hear...The last thing that I want to do, as far as makeup goes. is pile on a lot of products in hot weather.

 

[Medgal07]

Cake face! Yeah I could never wear cake face. Most times I don't even wear foundation, just my own skin with blush. This velvet is the best texture I've ever seen in a foundation. And, I cannot believe how it matches my skin tone. Like it was made for me.

Thanks! But I seriously need to chill on my hauls now

Just until the next Chanel illuminator, blush creme & JC----we must get those---then you can put the hauling on ice. It is nice to just breathe & get to know the
products that we already have.

no it was not reformulated

I think it depends on your skin type. Are you combo/oily? My skin is normal/dry

dior nude I liked but not as much since it was so dry on me, especially in the winter. it was ok for summer. plus the lightest shade at the time was not light enough for me . since then they started selling one lighter shade thankfully. I love wearing Nude mixed with Mac strobe liquid, then it's perfect - not as dry and more glowy.

 

[Monsy]

To correct myself I was told recently Teint miracle has been reformulated in the EU

 

[elegant-one]

Well, after many hours & my workouts - it still looks as flawless as it did when I first applied it.

Here it is compared to the Dior Nude - both color shade 10



Dior Nude - left, Chanel Velvet - right




Dior - left, Chanel - right



Chanel - left, Dior - right

I can wear both shades well. Obviously, the chanel is more yellow base & the dior more pink/beige. When I blend them out on my face, both shades match.

 

[Monsy]

I am dior 011 which is more yellow based
I have VLA in b20 but it's too dark so I assume b10 will work for me in this one

 

[elegant-one]

do tell----and which one of your 2,000 blushes did you choose?

which ever one I can see first

Depends on my mood mostly.

If you love what you're using now, I would wait until you could get a sample before you buy it. I know how you LOVE your shimmy/glowy looks. While this isn't matte, it definitely is not luminous. I like what xfarrax said about it - its as though you used foundation & then set it but without any powdery or dry look - at all!

I just love how natural it looks & really cannot feel it.

Oh, I agree with you, the Dior is just a tad more dry feeling, although I really loved how it looked on.
