Recently I've been on the hunt for a new foundation. I normally wear Estee Lauder Doublewear in Shell but I often find it looks & feels a bit heavy. I wanted something really lightweight but with good coverage for Summer. Plus I hate that no matter how many different highlighters I use with Doublewear, my face still looks really matte. I want a natural, pretty glow for once. After reading loads of reviews about Chanel foundations I decided to go for Vitalumiere Aqua. I find it very difficult to find a foundation that actually matches my skin colour. Sometimes Doublewear even looks a bit dark on my skin. I bought Vitalumiere Aqua in the shade B10 - Pastel and for once my face actually looks like the same colour as my neck. The lady in House Of Fraser said it was one step up from a tinted moisturiser & that is definitely the best way to describe it. Its water-based so it really glides onto the skin and it feels like I don't actually have any makeup on my face. I normally use a Beautyblender for Doublewear but I find that this foundation applies best with a brush. I used a MAC 187 to get a flawless finish without streaks. The £31 price tag is a bit hefty but so far I think its worth every penny.

Gosh my hair looks ridic, can't wait to get my roots done on Tuesday ;)
