I would like to know ingredients too. But still looks like no color match for me. Not as many colors as perfection lumiere

I ordered beige 10 which i wear in other chanel foundations. sometimes i can pull off beige 20 if i get a bit of a tan but my main issue with shade 20 is that it is too neutral, not yellow enough for me and it always looks odd on me. i noticed this foundation has both 20 and 21 i am curious about the shade difference. will report back when the one i ordered arrives

I agree! Most of the shades are too neutral! The shades ending in 1 have a yellow undertone. The 21 is too light for me and the 91 I believe is too dark. I think you should try the 21. The shades have quite a few jumps between them imo.

Oh really? So the "0" shades are neutral, "1" are yellow and "2" are pink? I've sometimes had to wear a 12 in their foundations even though I'm neutral to yellow because the 10's have tended to oxidize on me. Hopefully this one won't oxidize. Maybe they've changed things since I don't think they ever had "1" shades before, have they? The shades do seem to have crazy jumps between them! Have you seen them in person yet [MENTION=96326]CBradley76[/MENTION] ?

No I haven't seem them in person, but I saw the les beiges in person and the 91 and 21 had yellow undertones. When I was color matched to les beiges I tried all of the shades in 0 except 20 and 10 and they were all too neutral. The ones ending in 2 are pink toned (beige rose). The 91 was was too dark for me as well as the 121. I could make it work by mixing the 21 and 91 however that's a lot of foundation! LOL! I was expecting more shades in this since perfection lumiere had more shades. I may go see them in person not sure. But i feel they are the same as the les beiges.

Yes, mixing is expensive and kind of a pain. I did it for years with Chante Future Skin, but it's only worth it if you really love the product and are committed to it.
Cant wait to see your review. Very curious about this!

Way too much alcohol and fragrance for my skin...as usual from Chanel. Not sure why I even tried it.

It is drying 
my skin felt tight shortly after applying it and i even primed it with the moisturizing primer
it looked good, feels lightweight doesn't visually emphasize dryness but skin feels tight for sure. it is not heavy like perfection lumiere and doesn't settle into pores nor emphasizes them
i think it would be great for normal/combo/oily skin

Thanks for the review. I hate tight feeling foundations. I wonder if it's the alcohol that does that.

Which primer did you use? I always find it best to use a primer from the same company. I know the perfection lumiere worked well with the le blanc primer.
Would you wear it? Recommend it? Can you list ingredients?
Can you take a photo of the ingredient list, if you've still got the box? Mercy buckets!

Did you order it online or is it available at the counters? What shade did you try?

I ordered online. B10 for me as well, which is my usual shade, and that was fine. It was more full coverage than I would normally wear but I didn't play around with different application methods, just used fingers because I was first interested in shade and tolerability. I had that tightness that Monsy mentioned, but also burning, and I assumed both were a reaction to ingredients in there that my rosacea does not like (alcohol way up there, dipropylene glycol albeit near the end, heavy fragrance). I wouldn't normally try anything with that much alcohol on my face but since my Future Skin was reformulated to include a small amount of that plus a high level of pentylene glycol which I also can't tolerate (my skin can only tolerate butylene and caprylyl glycols, sigh) I'm trying to be as open as possible to finding something else. I would post full ingredients but mine was winging its way back to Chanel yesterday morning already.
