The Shade of Innocence

I discovered another fabulous lightweight foundation in my quest for the "no make up" make up look(an oxymoron I know, but don't you appreciate the humor in it all?) the other day at Barneys. My Chantecaille real skin was scraped to the bottom and I was actually on my way to replace it but got distracted at the Chanel counter. There is just something very appealing about Chanel make up, I started using it in college and have since moved on to many other brands but the shiny black laquered compacts still hold incredible allure for me. A marketing director at Chanel once told me that Chanel cosmetics actually click a bit louder and crisper than other brands and it matters because women respond to that. Try it the next time you are at a Chanel counter, the lipstick closes with a very distinctive "click" as do the compacts. Anyhow, I was persuaded to try the latest and greatest foundation, "Teint Innocence", a very sheer and lightweight foundation that also evens out skintone. One swipe on the inside of my wrist (where you should try all your skincare and make up, in case of allergic reactions) and I was immediately smitten. Why you ask? Well, it disappeared into my skin and gave it a smooth and glowy appearance! I felt like I was as flawless as a baby's bottom so of course I had to bring it home with me. I got the Gentle Ivory but there are 13 shades for you to choose from. I've been using it for a few days and I love it! I feel like I look 10 years younger and yes, a shade more innocent :) You must try for yourself! $42.50 at Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus. (The only thing that annoys me is the lack of a pump dispenser like some of Chanel's other foundations)
