CHANEL Beauty recently launched two new foundations, Le Teint Ultra Tenue powder foundation and Le Teint Ultra Tenue liquid foundation. They are both long wearing formulas with a luminous matte finish. The Le Teint Ultra Tenue compact replaced Double Perfection which was discontinued earlier this year. Initially, I had a love hate relationship with these new additions to the family but after playing around with them for a few weeks I’ve come to really love them an appreciate how different they are from the rest of CHANEL’s foundations. In the video above, I give an in-depth review as well as my personal tips for how to apply each foundation but here is a basic breakdown:
Le Teint Ultra Tenue Compact
- SPF 15
- Long wear, luminous matte finish
- Identical packaging to Double Perfection, comes with sponge applicator
- Can be used dry for medium to full coverage or wet for a sheer light to medium coverage
- $60 retail price
- Perfect for quick and easy application, throwing in gym bag or work tote
Le Teint Ultra Tenue
- Same packaging as Perfection Lumiere, totally different foundation
- No SPF listed on package
- Dries quickly so you must work in sections on the face
- Be careful to keep application seamless around hair and jaw line
- Very long wearing, sweat proof
- Perfect for events, photographs, weddings
- $60 retail price
- Wide shade range in beige and beige rose tones, several darker shades too
- Not forgiving in fine lines, must prep skin with moisturizer and wear a primer
