Soleil Tan Deep Bronze
Chanel Soleil Tan Deep Bronze Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream ($ 50.00 for 1.06 oz.) Is a medium dark brown with subtle, warm red undertones and a natural finish. When applied and blended, it had a smoothing effect that provided a skin-like finish that wasn’t matte, but didn’t baptize or was particularly bright after drying.
The texture was smooth, slightly emollient, and glided like a gel on my skin, which made it easy to work on both bare skin and foundation as it didn’t lift the base products. It had a more opaque coverage on initial swatch, but it tended to stand out in practice so it was difficult to get more than medium coverage in practice. It wore well for eight hours before it faded a little.
While I’ve seen Chanel improve in other aspects of their palette (and in some places, like their Rouge range, they’ve historically come out quite vibrant and deeper hues), the lack of hues in this formula is frustrating. They reformulated and republished the original hue (the line only had one option) a few months ago, and it shouldn’t have been a secondary release to see a deeper hue like this, but that doesn’t go deep enough – it is Very suitable for my skin tone, which is light to light-medium. For such a cult favorite, it really should have a wider variety of colors than your powder bronzer, which has recently come onto the market and had at least five shades.

The formula should have a “smoothing effect” with a “natural look” and a “velvety matt finish” that ensures a “sun-kissed glow”. When it was simply swapped it had a semi-opaque to opaque coverage, but in practice it was more semi-transparent to medium-sized as the texture was more prone to bleeding and in some ways fading. This made it more forgiving and difficult to overdo, but it made the very limited color palette less versatile.
The texture was smooth, gel-like – emollient, thin, and spreadable without being sticky or blotchy – and workable with fingertips or a brush. It worked well on bare skin or patted foundation as it didn’t stain or lift base products. The formula held on me for eight hours before it visibly faded.
