The New Makeup Base We Can’t Stop Talking About

This one’s a game changer.

Every now and again, there comes along a new beauty product so unique that completely changes the makeup game, carving out its own territory.

With that in mind, we’d like to introduce to you CHANEL’s Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint.

Described as a hydrating skin tint, it’s housed in the same packaging as that of the CHANEL Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum, so we had the inkling that it would feature skin-nurturing benefits as well as the signature radiant, natural-looking finish that CHANEL’s Les Beiges line is known for. We were, in fact, right on both accounts.

Harnessing the revolutionary technology of microfluidics, the Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint provides both active skincare ingredients and oil micro-droplets that carry pure pigment, which are suspended in a clear, jelly-like water base. Upon distributing the formula—and without getting too technical—the droplets retain their structure in the water suspension, which then dissolve upon contact with the skin. Sounds amazing, right?

It applies like truly nothing we’ve seen before, almost instantly transforming from a jelly-like lotion into a tinted water as it’s dabbed onto the skin with its dedicated brush—which FYI, comes included with the product. Emitting a light, refreshing scent and delivering an instant dose of moisture, it settles smoothly into the skin, creating an almost untraceable tint of hydrating, radiant colour, without any trace of tack.

It can also be used as a light layer of illumination over an existing base to give a dreamy, dewy glow to the high points of the face. And, offering six shades from Light to Deep, it has all bases covered—literally. All in all, skin looks and feels fresh, for a natural yet polished finish.

CHANEL Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint, $109, is available at all CHANEL counters from this Sunday, May 5th, 2019.
