Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation

We all have a one major cosmetic weakness, and for us that vice is certainly foundation. We've obtained quite the collection over the years; desperately on the hunt for any new wonder products promising to propel our skin to new levels of unknown awesomeness. This month we've become rather fond of our latest find: Chantecaille's Future Skin.

'Unique' is probably the best way to describe this product; completely free of oils, this gel like texture is able to transfer water into the skin providing an adjustable, even coverage. Light Reflective Particles add that all important glow, and ingredients such as Rosemary and Green Tea not only help prevent oxidation, but also provide the most dreamy fragrance. Using this feels luxurious to say the least...

The Hygiene conscious amongst you will have no doubt clocked the dreaded germ spreading horror that is "foundation in a jar". Don't panic too much, though: Chantecaille have included a sturdy plastic lid to insure all nasties are kept at bay. Just make sure you don't go dipping greasy, dirty fingers in, obvs.

Swatched/blended

Future Skin's light texture means application is always swift and smooth. We love the dewy effect achieved by buffing it in with a bronzing brush - or the more fleshy appearance when massaged gently with the fingers.

This formula is easily built up, so coverage can be comfortably taken from sheer to full. We found that 2 layers of product lasted a whole day without any streaking or patching, whilst 3 managed to survive a rather sweaty 30th birthday party. Plus, the hydration of the gel's water means the skin was spared looking or feel the slightest bit dry after wear - perfect!

This product is pricey and, to be honest, we only purchased it when offered a 25% discount. However, after wearing it daily for the last few weeks it's something that will definitely be repurchased. Available in a spectrum of 12 shades, there should be something to suit all skin tones, plus the sheerness means a shade darker would work faultlessly during the summer months.

If you're comfortable spending this amount of money on a foundation, then Chantecaille's Future Skin is certainly one to check out...
