At first I was reluctant to buy this foundation due to the price but I finally took the plunge.  I’m so glad I did.  The foundation goes on smoothly and covers minor imperfections.  I use it together with the blurring powder and find that I don’t need to reapply during the day.  It’s the only foundation I own that is still there at the end of the day and there’s some to actually remove when I use my cleanser.  

What a fabulous product this is - I love to try new foundations and skin tints but always seem to come back to this A and then forget just how good it is whilst I’m trying other things. It has the perfect light coverage I’m looking for without being too oily or shiny and seems to have a slight pore blurring effect. Fairly good shade range (although could do with slightly more variety at either end of the skin colour spectrum). Wonderful luxurious gel like texture - and it seems to be relatively long lasting as well. One of my all time favourites! 

I have seen this foundation go viral on tiktok and instagram and people were saying it is the best foundation ever and even used during red carpets.I gave it a try and it does all what is promises to do.It is super lightweight,buildable,gel like and gives a natural radiance.It is best for a natural looking finish with good coverage.

Received a wrong colour twice sadly but this foundation is my favourite. Great for natural looking no make up look. 

Tldr: This is a stunning foundation to perfect your skin whilst keeping a natural look. Very similar to Armani Luminous Silk. I have large pores, my skin is dry on the cheeks but oily on the T zone. I have yellow undertones but my face skin is sensitive, so I often have a lot of redness on the surface. This foundation really looks like my skin but more uniform. It's pretty sheer and could be considered medium coverage if you have already great skin (nothing to cover up, then), but redness still comes through. It melts into the skin in a way that it looks better but I don't need to re-add dimension to my face with any bronzer, blush or contour. I do need to bloat after 3h, just like with every foundation, so there isn't any oil control there, even compared to non-gel formulas. When I (carefully) blow my nose, it rubs off a little, but gracefully. It does not settle into my tiny wrinkles (I'm 32). The colour Alabaster is very close to the shade 4 from Armani luminous silk (my holy grail), with a slightly more peachy undertone. It is so similar that I wore them on either side of my face and it didn't look like I had different colours on. I rarely wear foundation and upon very close inspection, my husband said the Armani one has a "slightly more powdery effect" whilst Chantecaille looked like I had no foundation at all (except I looked less red and a little "airbrushed" compared to my natural skin), so Chantecaille wins this battle, but not by much! The Armani luminous silk foundation is very very comparable to this one, and much cheaper. So I am giving the Chantecaille future skin gel foundation 4 stars.
