CHANEL - NEW No 1 de Chanel Foundation and Balm Wear Test

[@lindadreier3207]

I purchased the foundation last week at Ulta. Went in for a new round brush for styling my hair and was obviously blindsided by the Chanel display just inside the front door. The Ulta display merchandiser is not stupid ‘cause it worked - I bought the foundation. I left the other products on the table - foundation did enough damage to my budget 😬. It looks lovely on this 74 year old face, even at the end of the day. Happy to have bought it.

[@jarmillex3198]

I am SO impressed with this foundation. I only bought it out of curiosity and didn't have too much of high hopes for it, especially the longevity. But I wore it twice in a situation where I had to have a respirator on for several hours (with all the sweat and humidity that can build underneath it, sorry for the gross details...) and then had to look presentable afterwards without the possibility of doing/retouching my makeup in between. It did not budge, my skin looked great (my husband even gave me compliments on how great my skin looked that evening). I am not saying what is usually the case with other foundations (and I am usually fine with it, as I try to be realistic in what I can get out of a foundation in terms of performance) that it disappeared gracefully. No, it was still there, intact, still looking natural like perfected skin. I am amazed. Usually the lighter type of foundations, which look like skin, I love them, but they also do not last as long, especially in tougher circumstances and this is just incredible also in this respect. This one may even beat Chantecaille foundations for me (which are the only ones so far that have had both the natural perfected look and could last on me, all the other foundations usually at the very least rub off around underneath the rim of my glasses).

[@ataylor1604]

Would love to hear a comparison of this with other Chanel foundations.. have a few I've been coveting, the Sublimage line, some of the Les Beiges products.. would be so grateful for coverage and longevity comparisons!!

[@devilisindadetails8960]

I would say it's more cheer than vitalumiere, similar to Vitalumiere aqua, without the extra shine, certainly luminous, but more Satin like, certainly thinner in consistency once applied, but blends in like a dream. It reminds me a lot of a cle de peau formula somehow. It's like a light Serum that dries powdery without the cracklyness of it.

[@YouSayTomato]

Oh yes, seconding this, like a deep dive into Chanel base products 💖

[@steffimarie1022]

@@devilisindadetails8960 would you choose this over the aqua? The aqua is my hg. :)

[@devilisindadetails8960]

@@steffimarie1022 that's a hard pick...well Vitalumiere Aqua has sunscreen (OCTINOXATE 6 % /TITANIUM DIOXIDE 5.6 %) which Chanel No1 does not. So ur using for everyday, or with flash photography, I would stick to the Chanel No1, throw on ur favorite concealer under or on top & call it a day. Personally octinoxate breaks me out, so even tho I luv the finish of Vitalumiere Aqua, I cannot wear everyday. Hope this helps 🤗

[@steffimarie1022]

@@devilisindadetails8960 thanks so much! Will def try the No1 then :)

[@MarriedtoDoofus]

I splurged on this entire line today … after promising myself no more Chanel … but I am so happy I got this because it’s more skincare … the foundation is perfect! My skin looks and feels amazing !! I know it’s targeted to people half my age but so far I love this line.

[@rhonda6791]

Hi I’ve never worn foundation and all I like is no makeup makeup because I want to look and feel natural. Do you think this line would be good for me? I thought the blush was very pretty. I’d appreciate any comments and advice. Thank you!!

[@MarriedtoDoofus]

@@rhonda6791 yes !!

[@rhonda6791]

Thank so much for your advice ☺️

[@MarriedtoDoofus]

@@rhonda6791 The formula is so good! It lasts .. I actually fell asleep and the makeup stayed put … your skin looks like skin … but with a glow to it!

[@rhonda6791]

[@karenrubenmoss9307]

First time I have seen your videos and I am hooked! So nice to have someone who is natural and explains the products in a relatable fashion. I am finding your suggestions very helpful and will be listening to more of your posts.

[@Itsyuliana]

I’m on my 2nd bottle of this and it’s AMAZING. Best foundation I’ve ever tried.

[@yokorivers5320]

I love how you look with less makeup. The foundation enhances your beautiful skin❤️

[@MeghanQueen]

this foundation and the les beiges foundation which is better? the B20 color is good? use this looks your skin is very good

[@nataliavasilyeva431]

The foundation looks really nice, Michele! It's undetectable and even blurring, and that's what I am looking for. And I loved the color of healthy pink balm!❤

[@kathryn3223]

You are so beautiful Michele…..your skin looks like you’re 30, and the foundation and blush balm looks great on you,! Thanks for testing out products that I wish I could pick up myself. 🥰

[@NanasHousePlants]

This is one of the most beautiful looks I have seen on you! Naturally elegant! ♥️

[@santikadewi5090]

I never know my skin condition until I found your videos. You taught me how to wear super minimal foundation to my mature skin. And today I’m wearing my Chanel vitalumiere with a bit of powder while still gazing at how my skin looks natural yet presentable for an office look 🥰🥰 I ordered the Charlotte tilbury beautiful skin foundation online, and now I have an itch to buy channel no.1 after this video 😆 thanks so much, Michele. You're such a great make-up mentor! Lots of love from Bali 💕🌟

[@katyasilitch4539]

Hi Michele, I always love that you review products technically. I also want to say, love your natural hair color, I love that you do not cover the grey, you make grey look gorgeous, as it can when embraced!

[@judy2838]

I really appreciate your foundation reviews. I also appreciate ur shade matching. It seems like so many influencers see their skin as darker than they are and wear foundation that is so much deeper than their skin tone. Even if matching to their tanned skin. Ur shade matching is always spot on. Also appreciate the minimal layers of foundation that u apply.

[@postflower]

Looks beautiful! Do you have sunscreen underneath? Worried it would be too much..I like light layers but with skincare, sunscreen, then foundation. Wondering how it will hold up with sunscreen underneath.

[@EverydayEdit]

❤️ lovely review! I suspected it would work well on dry skin - definitely a primer extended the wear for my more oily skin. Your skin is so pretty that I thought you might really love this one 🌟

[@sarahgraves8560]

Love your nail color! So glad you reviewed this- I watched another video on this and the result was so different- I trust your reviews!!

[@maureenturk8578]

Would be nice to see Chanel target a similar ‘clean’ base to more mature skin. I guess that’s still Sublimage Le Teint. Interested in the full day wear test. I prefer a light look. Thanks Michele!

[@JillKnapp]

Wow, that foundation is gorgeous on you, and the blush is so natural and pretty. Love it!

[@bbchick4540]

I also liked it a lot! I purchased it this past weekend and haven’t felt the need to alternate with my other foundations. It’s lightweight, so comfortable, undetectable and not drying at all! It’s not overly Dewey, either! My new favorite ❣️ thank you for a great review! 😎

[@Anic6500]

How does this foundation compare to the Sublimage foundation? I heard this is a clean line and anti-aging… since I don’t work for them anymore I’m out of touch! Lol it looks STUNNING on you!

[@annakatz01]

The foundation looks beautiful on you! I wanted to know what SPF do you use under it? Thanks ❤️

[@lindavoytovech7481]

Everyone that tries that foundation loves it! I think the balm looks beautiful on you, both cheeks and lips 👄

[@theajackson1950]

I just ordered the n°1 de Chanel revitalizing serum it is powerful serum that helps prevent and correct the appearance of the 5 signs of aging. Immediately after application, pores are visibly reduced by 11%*. After 1 month, wrinkles appear 24% diminished**, elasticity is improved by 17%** and the complexion appears 17% more radiant**. excited to try this

[@wuxiaaddict]

I’m interested to know will the foundation lasted as long if on top of sunscreen?

[@judithdeprisco9364]

I like the blush balm very much and wonder whether applying it with a brush would affect the longevity? I do like the look of this foundation, but with oily skin, I’m going to wait for any follow up that you might do.

[@amyinreallife6843]

I’m so glad you tried this foundation I have been curious but also have read mixed reviews so wasn’t sure if it would work with my 48 almost 49 year old skin lol so definitely will try now.

[@severinefleury3596]

Hi Michelle, great complexion, I love it. For sure my next purchase in B20 too. THANKS. Kisses from France 😘😘😘

Hi Michele, what brush are you using to powered your face?

[@habituallinestepper4830]

I just want to say thank you for showing your natural beautiful skin. You look great ! Love your channel 😊

[@unwindknitting]

I ordered the foundation and the balm in the red (I’m really stepping out on a limb with that one). Chanel foundations are my favorites, so I’m glad to know this was a winner for you.

[@alejam7757]

Hello Michel, I wanted to know which one do you prefer, Chanel N1 foundation or CHANEL LES BEIGES FOND DE TEINT TEINT BELLE MINE NATURALLE HYDRATATION ET LONGUE TENUE? My skin is combination/oily and I am 48 years old, I don't want it to mark pores or expression lines. Thanks

[@jessicacho1373]

These reviews are so helpful! Thank you.

[@sallyjones9702]

I really like the balm for my lips for same reason as you don’t like it! Once you’ve broken through the surface it’s softer and spreads more easily but doesn’t slip and slide everywhere.

[@Lovescomedy87]

Would you use a brush with the balm or just fingers?

[@SandraVLewis1]

This foundation looks really lovely on you.

[@cessiahc]

Wow, love it on you too! Skinlike. Thank you. Have you tried the Paula's Choice 2% BHA or the Madelic+Lactic liquid exfoliants? Would get rid of the situation you have going on your forehead rim. Gosh you have beautiful skin. I notice you mention that part every time. Or the LA ROCHE POSAY B5 BALM OR CICA GEL (which will go with whichever skincare you use). This is you have some kind of sensitivity. Back to video. Love both. Especially the foundation. Getting! Your face is perfect for trying on makeup. So cute. And I love the look you went for in this video. Lips, cheeks, face. Looks effortless, & so healthy.

[@stefaniacardona4887]

This foundation looks lovely on you... and I love the Chanel bracelet you have on your wrist, too. It is very classy and is a nice touch for the video!

[@Nubianette]

Ooo! This looks really good! This and the Lisa Eldridge interest me. I’m 55, and my skin has just finally started to dry to slightly oily, instead of very oily. It might be more of a winter foundation for me. I prefer a lighter coverage foundation. I appreciate that you also apply the foundation lightly. Thanks!

Geared towards 18 to 30? Hmmm, not sure how many of them would be totally fine with using a $70,- foundation. Thank you for the review.

[@catherinele1580]

Michele i love a glowy look. Do you recommend this foundation or the Charlotte Tilbury beautiful skin?

[@amritadesarkar3052]

Do you think this would go well on a dry face like the Westman-atelier ones? Or does it need a proper prep?

[@edelcranwell9524]

Great review Michele. Loved the close up look of the foundation. Really enjoy your honest approach.

[@walterbenjamin1386]

Yes, it's quite nice. I love all the Chanel foundations I've tried except for the Sublimage, which exaggerated my pores and lines. The color match, B20, is the most flattering of all the other brands of foundation.

[@gabgarcia5643]

Hi Michelle, do you think we can use without primer ?

[@kimberlylware950]

Thanks Michele, I was curious about this one, especially with my super dry skin. The blush appears to have great longevity without shifting, awesome.

[@louisesharpy]

I love the Chanel necklace. That’s on my want list and the earrings ! Love that you did this ! Love it’s available at Ulta

[@brassgal5039]

I love the Chanel CC cream (spf 50 - no chemical blockers), and the Eau de Teint… I love the way both look, with medium coverage for CC cream, and light coverage (and glow) with the Eau de Teint. :-) Chanel foundations are really lovely.

[@jennyashton3360]

been looking forward to ur review the most! picked the foundation, a blush balm, & serum up from Ulta and excitedly awaiting their arrival. btw, i love ur huggie hoop earrings so much, do you ever think you’d make them in rose gold because pearls and rose gold (& diamonds!) are my fave combo :)

Another fab video, Michele. The age thing is a bit annoying to say the least. But I am going to give it a try because, like you, I have dry skin and I prefer a much lighter coverage and always have.Thanks!

Thanks for the review! I have just ordered lively rosewood hope it will work.I have very fair skin tone .have you tried lively rosewood on your lips? Healthy pink appears more opaque on your skin then I thought. I’m on the fence if I should order this foundation it looks nice.may I ask how does it compare to les beige one and makeup forever reboot? Thanks again!xoxo

[@elisat6065]

Is Chanel N1 buildable? Can you reach full medium coverage if you apply another layer? It looks beautiful on you, but for me I would like a bit more coverage and I was wondering whether it is buildable?

[@askalemuralia]

I seriously could barely see this foundation on your skin, so it sounds perfect for my taste :D At the half face covered I could see coverage, but once applied I just couldn't perceive it anymore. Makes me want to choose this over the water fresh tint.. I support the comments below: all in Chanel foundation comparisons video. We need a fresh guide! P.S: any idea when will your black huggies be available again? :) Don't want to miss it next time around.

[@colleenm9188]

The foundation and cheek shades are beautiful on you. You can wear the "no-make up" foundations so well. Beautiful and long-lasting. I really don't need another foundation right now, but I will remember this one. I generally like a little more coverage and finish, so maybe I should try the Charlotte Tillbury. I was very distracted by your earrings. You've designed perfect pearl and diamond earrings. Gorgeous. Thanks for your video!🙏💜

Hi Michele, I bought BD21 in the Chanel No1 Foundation, (i normally wear B20) . It worked beautifully with my skin tone. It is a cooler colour. This may work better for you to. I love this foundation. I could even place it right under my eyes to cover dark circles and it never settled into my laughter or fine lines. A gorgeous natural finish and i think its going to be the one i turn to from now on. Did you try the lip balm with a lip brush at all?How do the balms compare on the lips compared with the new bullet lipsticks in the white casing? Thanks for your review x
