Go to the counter and tell them you want to get color matched and if there is a shade match, tell them you want a sample to make sure your skin doesn't react negatively to it before purchasing.

Hi everyone! It's been ages since I've been on here! I miss all my Chanel girls! xo
I am really wondering about BR22 as well. I've been told that the VLA Compact shades are quite light and that BR22 should work but even BR10 in the Vitalumiere Aqua liquid is too dark for me. I guess I should just give up until I can see it in person but it will likely be months and months before I end up at a counter.

^^ Hi! Yes the shades are light. Some of the ladies have said that the foundation is too dry and yellow, so it is best you try it out in person before buying. I gave it a swatch last Sunday and I could see why it feels dry. I also remember I was digging my finger, the fleshy part at the tip, to get the foundation out from my tiny sample pan. But I don't recall it feeling dry on my face.

I saw it in person last week and it was too dark for us. The SA was able to blend it out enough on my inner wrist to where I *might* have considered trying it on my face -- although she was not encouraging me! -- but the B10 I previously tried made my skin look so dry. It didn't necessarily feel dry, it just made my skin look like all the moisture had been sucked out of it and highlighted fine lines (pretty picture, huh? lol). Because of the dryness I can't get too excited about testing another shade on the outside chance I could blend it out enough to achieve a passable match. Elegant did not like it on either. I'd say it may be worth trying when you get to a counter sometime, or swapping for a sample even in another shade to try the texture, but it's not worth the trouble of hunting down asap or anything.

Karen - I have the Armani Luminous Silk foundations and it's my HG. I think it does look like better skin... I have many compliments saying my skin looks a lot better and healthier 
. I don't have Vitalumiere Aqua to compare it though, but from what I remember when trying them, I think Luminous Silk is creamier. I like mixing it with my sunscreen too so I have kind of a tinted moisturizer on most days

I've never really seen any reviews here on it, but does anyone like Double Perfection? I got it a couple weeks ago as I'm pretty oily and I thought this might be a good, easy summer foundation. I love Perfection Lumiere; however, the silicones gave me a couple bad cystic acne spots, so it's only for special occasions now. In any case, I really like the light coverage and texture of Double Perfection, but whereas I thought it would be good for oily skin, it pretty much slides right off after about 6 hours. I don't think those with dry skin would like this foundation either, so I'm wondering who this is meant for. Did anyone else have better luck getting Double Perfection to work for them? I've tried it both wet and dry.

since you are oily, 6 hours of wear is pretty good without primer.
and you are right, the only ones that work are silicone based ones. you might want to try lorac aqua primer it's good for oily skin and for sensitive skin

Sounds lovely! Did you get to test how long it lasts on you? I'm interested in this except I'm cooler in undertone. Will ask at my Chanel counter next time I'm there see if they have it for me to check out.Has anyone tried Eclat Lumiere? I just tried it last night and DIED! I absolutely love it. It's like Touche Veloutee (By Terry) but warmer in color and undertones.

Thank you for the tip, I will definitely check it out. I know in the long run oily skin can be better, but I hate it!

I got samples of Perfection Lumiere in both 10 and 20. The foundation just launched, and it seems that it is replacing Mat Lumiere liquid foundation here, while Pro Lumiere will still be available. I'll give it a try, though after reading all your reviews I'm not expecting I'll love it, but I never know until I try. The foundation is launched together with the Brompton blush and Malice and Tumult in baked formula.
