Wow, this is the first video where someone says they’re zooming in so you can see the product on the skin, where I can actually see it realistically. It’s silly when other people say it when they have the bright lights, I guess, because it doesn’t look as it does in real life. Thank you!

[@adriannyc1]

I think that the CG is supposed to dupe the Chanel Water Fresh Tint… I think the one you have is the Chanel Water Fresh Complexion Touch which has much more coverage than the Chanel Water Fresh Tint👍 I’d like for you to compare the 2 Chanel formulas☺️ I have the water fresh tint and love it… wondering if I should try the complexion touch…

[@vadal4043]

Hi Jamie! I'm a "dupe" skeptic as well ~ but had to mention that for me, this one does mimic the Chanel product closely enough that I'm really to save $50 and get a similar look. Maybe our skin types, prep products, or methods of application are factoring in? It would have been great to see a side-by-side comparison of the two products at the same time with same prep and application so we could compare how each looked with the skin dryness. Thanks for adding this to the other comparison videos, the more info ~ the better!

[@kirstenmarry]

For the Canadian girlies, Walmart had it for the cheapest price ($23.99).

[@StephanieMarie]

OMG Jamie! I just finished testing this, so I started looking at others' reviews. You're the FIRST person I've seen that feels the same way I do - and we have different skin types. I have combo skin that happens to be dehydrated right now in a couple of areas. CG doesn't sit or wear well on my dehydrated/dry areas at all AND I get shiny in my shine-prone areas. I've also seen numerous people dupe it to the Chanel water fresh tint which is strange to me because that's only a tint. My immediate thought was this Complexion Touch and Rose Inc because they build. I'm super hard on dupes and am also surprised at how differently this wears on me than those do. You're definitely not alone!

[@oceanbird.]

Looking forward to see your review! I also have dehydrated skin with a balanced skin type so I'm very curious to watch yours!

[@ErinCRN]

I have this foundation. I noticed it balling up with a primer. I think because it’s water based, if you mix it with a primer with silicones, it balls up. When I use it alone, it looks amazing.

[@lilnitemakeup]

I wonder if Cover Girl was trying to dupe the Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint, which also has 8 shades, rather than the Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Touch? I've seen a lot of videos comparing the Cover Girl and Chanel tints.

[@MWall]

Yes, that is what I also concluded. The Complexion Touch by Chanel is not a comparable product. It is the Chanel Water-Fres Tint that is the same level of coverage as this Cover Girl product.

[@stacypatterson5641]

Yes, the two that are being tried here are not the dupes. I prefer the Chanel tint to the foundation being tried here...I'm definitely going to try the CG

[@MWall]

@@stacypatterson5641I tried it and I like it. I got the 2nd shade they sold and think it is a good regular light shade leaning a little yellow. I put it on very lightly because I think it has more coverage than the Chanel tint.

[@Ellewatch-y3j]

True! She didn’t compare the right products 😒

[@J_L970]

I've had a very similar experience as you, including the product 'balling' as you described/showed. I thought the separation of the product was odd too. It's too much work for me! Thanks for your honesty and the closeups!!

Dupe or not, I refuse to pay $35 for a drugstore foundation! That’s insane!

What is giving us all peri oral dermatitis?!? You are the 4th content creator to express that they are dealing with this too. I had it this past fall into December and my derm put me on an oral antibiotic and a topical one. I’m still scared it’s not gone or coming back anytime I have a hormonal breakout😰. Also thank you so much for showing this foundation up close, it’s so so helpful!

[@isabelgoncalves9671]

The sound and image quality of the video is excellent ❤ I'm also a fan of the Chanel foundation and I haven't found anything like it yet.

[@JennV-B]

I’d be curious to see half your face with covergirl and half with Chanel! Also maybe with a smoothing primer under the Covergirl since I’m guessing a lot people bought it and for that price are trying to make it work. It sucks that we can’t return to the drugstore here and it always baffles me that we don’t have testers…

[@pappyone6062]

So glad to see you review this Jamie! I’m a fan of the Chanel water fresh tint but I like the other Chanel tint as well on days when I may want a bit of coverage. The shade range here may be a problem I imagine for me as I have light olive skin. But something to consider

[@MsGlamGirl88]

Loved your honest review Jamie! So many ppl hyped it up and it’s not even good.

[@ermfine2]

I agree, this settled in lines I didn’t know I had.

[@martystevens2313]

I would love to see a video with your foundation/tints/bb cream recommendations for those of us with texture and dry patches.

[@bymillie]

Seems very polarising! I haven't tried the Chanel fresh tint, but that does sound like the better option out of the two, despite the high price point! Such a great realistic review as well! 🤗💕

[@ladyyaya6782]

It’s the Bakuchoil that is causing the skin to exfoliate in your dry areas. Bakuchoil has retinol like properties. That may be causing the dry skin to slough off. I find that fascinating! That in itself has convinced me to try this product! Thank you so much for sharing ❤💄

[@MaisieLemur]

[@tzoe875]

I’m so happy that you are comparing the same product. Most are comparing it to the Chanel water-fresh tint. Based on coverage I think you made the correct comparison. Thanks for saving me some money. I need it to glide over imperfections and that’s the number one reason I love the Chanel! Could you compare the Chanel to the Jane Iredale Hydropure? They reformulated the Hydropure not long ago. I’m curious to know how all three stack up.

[@sarahkalnajs5810]

Wanted to thank you for recommending the Fenty Poutcicle lip stains. I’ve been wearing “Mai type” ever since I got it and it’s the perfect lip pie for those of us who want color without fuss but WITH COMFORT!!

[@JamiePaige]

yayyyyyy!!

[@melaniesenecal7153]

Thanks for the review. I think this foundation can be more of a dupe for the Rose Inc one. It's very similar. Also because it's water base you have to be very carefull what you wear undeneath. Also it would have been nice you tried the Chanel one now with your skin as it is now. That one could also react differently to the actual texture. I've had foundations I adore but wouldNt work out when my skin was was in difficult state.. thanks for zooming in!

[@shelbyanumandla7499]

Thank you for this review! I think I will try that Chanel foundation sometime

[@JamiePaige]

[@oceanbird.]

Love seeing this video since you have a well known love for the Chanel foundation! You're the perfect person to do this comparison. I've been super interested in the Chanel foundation because of how light and hydrating everybody says it is, but I just can't pay that much lol.

[@alisonarthur3480]

I have a running theory. I feel like it's breaking up because of different skin care and sunscreens underneath. The base product is supposed to be, according to the ingredient list, a glycerin water mix, right? And most people put sunscreen on their face. At least they're supposed to, LOL. And most sunscreens are not waterproof or even water resistant, especially the ones that we use as face sunscreens. So what happens when we put water and glycerin overtop of a sunscreen that is not waterproof or water resistant? The water and glycerin break down the sunscreen. And I think that's what's happening. I did some testing on my own- putting this foundation on with no sunscreen underneath, and everything wore a lot better. It wasn't perfect but it was a heck of a lot better!

[@auroraborealis13579]

Yep! Science, girl!

[@bobbies1562]

Thanks for the review. The CV is $21.49 in the US. Could exfoliation before using the CG help? According to other reviews, I suspect, that the CG is more similar to the Chanel WF Tint, than to the WF Touch. Do you have a review of the Chanel LES BEIGES Water-Fresh Complexion Touch?

[@masc4mascara39]

I wish we could go back to a time where brands weren’t using skincare ingredients as a ‘feature’. I’m thinking specifically of Niacinamide (which seems to be in everything these days and that I’m sensitive to). I wish brands would see that we prefer to actually use and choose our own skincare ingredients that suit our specific skin rather than pretending the tiny percantage the product includes will actually do anything positive for our skin. Just my 2 cents though, I’d be interested to hear if people feel differently. Thanks for the review Jamie!

[@masc4mascara39]

Oh, and they use the inclusion of skincare ingredients to charge us way more for something we didn’t ask for and would prefer if it wasn’t there 😅

[@hollydamron1804]

I got it for 21$ at walgreens. I find it best to blend it directly on the face. Best to use fingers then I let it set and then sponge it doesn't come off. I didn't like it at first but liking it better after a few tries.

[@nariskotchg7598]

Foundations will often ball up / pill if the consistency clashes with your base. E.g., if you use a silicone base (moisturizer or primer) with an oil based foundation, or vice versa

[@haleydaynegoold4366]

I tried on the Chanel tint in Ulta and I was so impressed! No skin prep, dry acne/prone skin in AZ! Asking for it as a birthday present this year! 🤍✨ Thanks for the in depth review!

[@auroraborealis13579]

Ulta has Chanel now?! I MUST go fuss with the Chanel. 😁

[@MrExplosivepanda408]

Have you thought about comparing it to the rose inc skin tint? Also has the popping pigments

[@JamiePaige]

im really not a fan of the rose inc one!

[@LondonSunflower]

I agree with you, I have never tried the Chanel but the dupe didn’t work for me, the product didn’t absorb, it was very noticeable

[@JamiePaige]

yessss - on the dryest parts of my face it just kinda sat on top of the skin

[@heatherm1629]

Omg finally! It didn’t work for me either! I have dry skin and use tretinoin .1% so am prone to dry skin on top of my dry skin. It looked terrible on me! I could not understand why! I tried it with diff lotions and primers!

[@linzi2000]

My foundation, no matter what foundation I use, separates like you originally shown with the first check in. I hydrate the hell out of my skin but it always separates and bunches up. Do you have any suggestions that isn’t skincare based because I’ve tried it with and without a bunch of skincare

[@JamiePaige]

i would say to make sure that you're allowing some time between applying the skincare and your foundation! waiting 5-10 mins may help :)

[@rosalyndnovigrod1076]

Can you tell us which shades you used in both brands? Did I miss it?

[@jenniferdossett911]

I wonder if the plant-based retinol is the reason it’s balling up on your skin. It may be a situation that it gets better as your skin sloughs from the use of the retinol-type ingredient.

[@wplants9793]

I just brought my Chanel Les Beige to the free pile today…it never worked for me. It is the only foundation I’ve tried (I don’t try a lot, honestly, maybe 10 in the past year) that makes fine lines and wrinkles around my chin and mouth look extremely obvious. I don’t know why, no other foundation does that. I don’t have dry skin. Some of the concealers I’ve tried make the fine lines around my eyes worse, but nothing settles into my chin. Luckily I got it with Ulta points AND a gift certificate, but I’m still perplexed at it because I swatched it in Nordstroms multiple times to color match and it looked great.

[@jow8230]

Jamie my daughter & I have both had peri oral dermatitis & both got good results with red light therapy at the beautician, just in case you haven’t tried that ❤

[@birubay]

I have combo skin with similar dry spots and wish I saw your video before I bought it. It sets down the same way on me. 😢 I had high hopes. My HG is Covergirl trublend hydrating foundation. I've tried a half dozen higher end foundations and will still pick CG trublend hydrating over Armani Luminous silk or UD Hydromaniac (my current #2 and 3). I've tried my best to get the word out about the CG trublend (hydrating variation), but nobody will try it. Come on, it's less than $10 most places.

[@itshistoryitspoetry]

This also kind of reminds me that the Rose Inc foundation is similar to the Chanel

[@MsCatCart]

I haven't seen anyone happily obsessed over it, though I do mostly follow dry skinned babes so maybe that's why?

[@TNK689]

If I'm going to spend $35 on a foundation, it's not going to be on a CG foundation. Thanks for the review!

[@alliebelle3298]

I purchased this from Ulta for 15.00! Why do you say 33.00?

[@JamiePaige]

33$ CAD - $24 CAD+ tax :)

[@carmendemiguel7056]

Jamie, I think it is supposed to be a dupe for the other Chanel product, the water fresh tint (I think it is called, the one that comes in like a square bottle that is "older" product and has less coverage) and not this one which is more like an actual foundation instead of a tint.

[@stephanievelez8320]

I liked it the first time I used it and then every time after that it was more watery and separated. It’s not good! I like the CG skim milk foundation way more!!

[@Laudydaudy]

I am having similar skin issues atm, so annoying. The PTR firmX exfoliating gel is a lifesaver for me. Love your channel!

Bakuchiol (sp) is an alternative to Retinol. Could that be why its flaking off on your dry skin dermatitis around your mouth? Thats too bad I was pretty excited about this one.

I was hoping you would put one side Chanel and one side Covergirl to really see the difference. (Is the Chanel really worth 85 dollars?) But thanks for giving the Covergirl extra wear time, not sure it's worth even the drugstore price.

[@amritagupta24]

What lipstick and the liner are you wearing ?

[@stargwynn1]

I’m sure it would work better when your skin is doing better

[@melissamorse]

This sounds a lot like the Rose Inc serum foundation which I hated. I have been skeptical about the Gucci foundation that it would be similar but sounds like maybe it would be a good choice despite the price. I can’t get my hands on cover girl in Europe unfortunately.

[@jenniferseeger5853]

I had the same experience with this foundation- it looked soooo dry and patchy

[@lmullens75]

So I bought both foundations and haven’t used either one just because I’ve been doing a chemo cream on my pre-cancers on my face and it just hurts to wash my face let alone wash off make up. It almost sounds like when my make up balls up on top of skin care that hasn’t sat down for long enough. I bet with a different primer or no primer, it might work differently? I know when I’m in a rush, most of my foundations do that same thing if I go too quick after my skincare.

[@ninjaturtles12121]

Try not blending it on your hand. Everyone who has gotten a good application from it apply/pump it directly onto the face and let a dense brush burst the pigments n blend that way. I think its not serum like anymore once you burst so its midway to setting when you're applying it n thats why it may be balling up. Just a theory worth a try imo.

[@mialoutsenko7543]

This is a dupe for the Chanel water fresh tint, not the Chanel water fresh complexion. The complexion has way more coverage, than the tint. Hope this helps! ❤

[@christalstewart1459]

I don't mind paying for quality!

[@dagmar0027]

Have you also tried the Rose Inc foundation that's at Sephora? It's a similar foundation that has pigment drops suspended in a serum.

[@JamiePaige]

[@MSUSPARTANS1973]

First video I’ve seen on this where it didn’t look great. feel like this is a product people will need to try for themselves? I’ve seen it work on dry skin applied with fingers, oily skin with a brush, primer, no primer.

I no longer believe "hyped" products when they originate from tiktok. I feel like it's been proven enough times that brands fabricate the hype (1st time I can think of was the kvd apple foundation) that I will stick with youtube reviews

[@isitbees]

It's also quite annoying to think that the only reason the brand thought the $33 price point was acceptable was because they are directly setting it up to be compared to Chanel so obviously people will look at $33 and think it's a great price next to Chanel.
