How to Choose Your Perfect Chanel Foundation
Foundation is one of those beauty products where quality makes a world of difference.
A good quality foundation will sit beautifully on your skin, enhance your features, smooth out any imperfections, and make you glow.
Chanel is one company that is renowned worldwide for their prestige products.
Chanel foundations are wonderfully luxurious to wear, are of exceptional quality, and are exactly what you would expect from such a high calibre brand.
If you've never worn a Chanel foundation, how do you choose the right one for you?
Knowing your skin type is a really good start. Then you need to decide what features you want in a foundation.
Read on for our tips on how to choose the perfect foundation for your skin, plus our favourite Chanel foundations and why.
Choosing the Right Foundation For You
- 1
What is Your Skin Type?
Different skin types have different needs. If you have dry skin, you need a foundation that's hydrating and nourishing.
If your skin is prone to oiliness, choose a foundation with shine-control and a matte finish.
If you are starting to get fine lines and wrinkles, choose an anti-ageing foundation.

What Level of Coverage Would You Like?
Light coverage foundations are suited for people with even skin tones.
They're also great for times when you don't want to look like you're wearing too much makeup, such as when you're heading out for brunch.
Medium or full coverage foundations are a good choice if your skin is prone to acne, blemishes or redness.
You may also want a full coverage foundation for nights out, special occasions, or times when you just want to look like you've made a little more effort.

What Formulation Do You Prefer?
Liquid foundations are the most popular, as they're super easy to apply, either with your fingers, a brush, or a sponge.
Powder foundations are a good option too, especially if you're travelling or like to touch up during the day.
Chanel even have the super luxe option of a cream foundation in their Sublimage Le Teint foundation

What's Your Shade?
The right foundation should be a similar shade to your skin so that it blends in.
Foundation should enhance your features so that you are presenting the best version of your skin.
If it's colour you're after, consider wearing a bronzer or blush.
So now that you've worked out what you're after in a foundation, simply choose the Chanel foundation that fits your needs.
Here are just a few of our favourites.
