Chanel water fresh tint

12 replies

Kaftankween · 04/07/2020 12:18

I’ve been looking for a new foundation/tinted moisturiser. I like light weight with a bit of radiance Has anyone tried Chanel water fresh tint? I’m 53 with good skin usually a Chanel 20 (how does this compare should I go down to 10?)
So wary of making another expensive mistake especially now when I can’t really get samples. I never seem to get it right. I was also thinking of sublimage by Chanel but it’s so expensive.
Any help gratefully received.

I mean shade medium light vs shade light which I think correspond to shades 20 and 10

It's really dark, I'm about your shade and the lightest colour looked like an oxidised foundation on me. It's supposed to be a bit of a healthy tan glow, I think, but it just looked odd on me. It's also super transparent, so wouldn't count on it for any coverage.

I did recently get a sample of Clinique Even Better with some purchase or another and was pleasantly surprised by that. Light, undetectable but a good enough coverage to make a difference. They do have these in sachets, so I'm sure you would be able to get a sample for that from somewhere.

Dior Backstage is really nice and light textured - sinks in and looks natural.

I haven't tried the Chanel water light one, but I am also a shade 20 in Chanel foundation and am really liking my new purchase of Code 8 Radiate Beauty Balm. I have shade NC15 and it's perfect - light enough but gives a subtly healthy glow too.

I'm a Chanel 20 and love the BB cream.

I didn't get along with it but I love IT cosmetics CC cream!

Oh yes I have it, love it. I am chanel 20 in winter, 30 in summer and have this in medium light, which is indeed same as 20.

Can you say anymore about why you like it Katharina. And Chequer, what do you like about code8 above other tinted moisturisers?

I disagree that it's really dark, I'm a light to medium skintone and had no problem finding a match. It is extremely light coverage though (even less than a tinted moisturiser). Personally I find it just isn't enough for me. I actually really like the Chanel Les Beiges tinted moisturiser, it's lightweight and reasonably long wearing.

II don't like thick sticky foundations, especially in the summer. This one is super light and feels like water, and makes your skin look so glowing and healthy.
