Chanel: Les beiges healthy glow sheer powder no. 40

JUNE is already here, but according to our weather here, it feels like we’re somewhere in autumn. Summer days are approaching, so it’s time for changing our makeup routine a bit and add some elements typical for this season. Bronzer is definitely one of them. I don’t like to use it all the time, because my skin can be quite pale and it doesn’t look great on me, but when I get a bit of color, that’s another story.

As a bronzer I use fancy powder from Chanel: Les beiges healthy glow sheer powder in no. 40. These powders were a huge thing a few years ago, so eventually, I had to try them.

Les beiges powder has a dreamy texture and can truly offer you that no-makeup – makeup effect which I adore. It seamlessly blends into the skin and provides semi mat finish with a subtle glow.

No. 40 is a dark orange-brown shade with some neutral undertones and looks scary in the pan, but applies very sheer. This powder is buildable without looking cakey, so if applied heavily it may be even great for contouring.

I just lightly swipe it over my cheeks and on my temples with a mini fan brush that comes with the powder and that’s it. It is subtle, but noticeable and looks very natural. I am always scared of real bronzers, because they look terrible on me, so this is a great alternative.

But I’m not planning to repurchase it, because I use it way too little to even slightly justify the price which is rising every year. Much better options for me are no. 10 (almost like a highlighter) and no. 20 (matches my skin tone) which can be used daily and all year round.
