For a barely-there finish, the new Les Beiges Healthy
Glow Foundation SPF 25 / PA++ (£36), with state-of-the-art optical techniques,
is superb. It makes the skin look healthy, as if you have come back from a
country walk.
Easy to apply with your fingertips, it evens out skin tone as
well as protecting the skin. Enriched with a hyaluronic acid derivative, it
leaves your complexion feeling hydrated yet it has the staying power to last
all day, thanks to a polymer that combats sweat and sebum. Another plus is that
the bottle is easy to carry around with you which makes it ideal for
travelling.
Comes in a variety of shades (N°10, N°20, N°30, N°40, N°50,
N°60, N°70 and N°12 Rosé, N°22 Rosé) so you should find one that matches your
skin tone. If you are in between shades, you could always try mixing two
together. You can also customise it to suit your needs. Apply it lightly on
days you do not need too much coverage and more intensely on the days when you
need a little extra help.
If you normally shy away from wearing foundation but feel you
need a bit more coverage than a BB cream then you should get yourself down to the Chanel counter and
try it for yourself.
