Pearls of light

Chanel Perles de Lumiere Illuminating Blush Powder ($ 70.00 for 0.28 oz.) Is a light, golden copper with warm undertones and a brilliant sheen. It had an almost opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, soft, and mixable texture.

It was a gel-powder hybrid formula, so the powder was denser and firmer in the pan, but it looked seamless and “melted” when applied to bare skin (there was no powderiness in the pan either). If you are unfamiliar with this type of formula, consider using a slightly denser brush to pick up the product. It carried well for eight and a half hours before noticeably fading.
