BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL? NEW Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet Vs. Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation!

Why do makeup companies always discontinue and reformulate the best products? It’s happened more times than I can count and always to my holy grails… ugh!

I heard a rumor about a month ago that my all time favorite foundation Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet was being discontinued… or reformulated… or repackaged… or renamed… and I went into crisis mode stockpiling all the Perfection Lumiere Velvet I could get my hands on and stalking the Chanel website for info on its replacement!

My wait was over last week with the launch of Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet! I ordered it right away and I’ve been testing it out to see what’s changed and if it’s still as good as the original!

Hi Angie,
I am a fan of the Chanel foundation. I buy direct from Chanel because the packaging is so luxe and satisfying, plus the price is the same as Nordstrom. Thanks!

Wow! What a game changer this foundation is. Truly amazing. I can’t believe how easy it is to apply and how natural it looks while still camouflaging imperfections. Many, many thanks for your guidance Angie!

Angie,

Just found your videos and I’m loving them. I feel we have very similar issues. Question, do you use primer with the Chanel foundation and if you are using the beauty blender, do you dampen it first?

Thank you

  Hi Linda~ I don’t use primer with the Chanel foundation and I never apply it with a Beauty Blender… it boes on best with the fingers! So easy! xo ~angie

This is a bit off the foundation topic but I noticed in all your up-close photos your lashes are curled yet I’ve never seen you curl them in videos. Are they naturally like that? I’ve read waterproof mascaras hold curls rather then regular mascara. I’d love to see a post about this as most women have to curl them on a daily basis with eyelash curlers or have them professionally permed.

  You’re right, I hardly ever curl my lashes! That must be their natural shape, I don’t use waterproof mascara much either.

Wondering…why do you keep the foundation in the fridge?

  I don’t usually, but since I bought 3 as backup I had them in the fridge and wanted to compare a brand new fresh original to the new one.

Should we always go by the color in the bottle or swatch? Or try it on and see how it blends with our skin color on our face?

Is 30 beige neutral or peachy/orangey?

  The best option is to get a sample of a few shades before purchasing so you can put it on your whole face and see it in different lighting conditions, then choose the one you liked best to buy. I find 30 Beige to be pretty neutral but slightly more to the cool side… not orange or peachy.

Hi Angie,
At a conversational distance, no difference. But the shade of the new release appears to me more flattering to your skin tone. I commented same on IG, viewing from my iPhone but moreso see the difference while watching on my computer monitor. I also think the new release shows a tad more texture than the Perfection Lumiere Velvet, but only noticeable very up close when I was examining side by side. As you say, crisis averted! Have you tried it with primers and sunscreen (maybe I missed it in the audio)?

  Hi Angie,
  Thank you for doing a review on the updated foundation. I’m so disappointed to learn that this version still has fragrance. It’s the most beautiful, well performing foundation, but I have a severe reaction to the fragrance. I’ve tried the original twice, and both times I ended up looking like a burn victim. I wish this was not the case, because it’s an incredible product. Thanks again for your in-depth review!

    Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that. But happy you don’t have to find out the hard way that the new one still has fragrance!

  Thank you. You are really helping me narrow down my foundation. After raising 4 children, I finally decided I should have taken care of me too. But, never too late. I’m eating WFPB, exercising, and learning to do makeup in my 50’s. Still, I figure since I’m being so careful what I put in my body I should probably be careful with what I put on my body. Have you tried any of the more natural Foundations? I sure would love it if you would put them through the test, especially Origins. Again, thank you. Loving watching you and learning. ✍️

Hi Angie,

A salesperson at Nordstom had told me that this foundation was going to be phased out last year when I asked for a sample. I was reluctant to buy because of this, didn’t want to love it only to have it be discontinued! Thanks so much for doing this video! I couldn’t tell the difference on you and I’ve gone to Macy’s to get 2 samples, beige 20 and beige rose’ 22.

Quick question – Did the new one pass the phone test? Thanks again!!

Best,
Pat
