| I've been using Chanel foundations for years (since my mid 20s on and off -- I'm 36 now). Recently, I've begun to suspect that they might be a large reason why my acne has never gone away. How many of you out there have used Chanel foundations and experienced problems? Have they been great for any of you? |

ME! I've tried a few different Chanel foundations like the double perfection fluide and double perfection compact (and two others I can't remember) and they wrecked havoc on my face. This was part of my $1000 Chanel binge over the course of 6 months last year.
Sigh.
I ended up dropping all of my Chanel skin care and foundations.
I still use their lipgloss and I love their face primer (blanc universal). But I won't ever go back to their foundations because of the breakouts I experienced.
Luckily I swapped most of it away on MUA to swappers who wanted to try it. Still have the compact though (the double perfection powder). |

| I used many many Chanel products for 5 years. The Vitalumiere foundation, and I liked it. But, I have aged, and my maturity spots have appeared, so, the coverage was not good enough any longer. I found EL Futurist, and EL Re-Nutrive foundations. However, I recently discovered everday minerals mmu, and I love it. I never had breakout problems with any of Chanel foundations. |

I'm generally not a big fan of Chanel foundations, I do find they block more pores quite a bit & the oil-free versions are just too drying for my skin. A bit off topic  but I also always have a hard time trying to find the right shade/colour with their foundation, so I don't even bother anymore. Imo you should try using a mineral based foundation. |

| i've found the vitalumiere ok for when i go out, as it is a bit heavier, but the teint universel is terrible. every time i have used it i have broken out, so i don't bother with it anymore[/quote] |

Safire, I have stuck with Chanel for so long because they actually have colors that work with my skin since I am so fair. It seems nowadays, though, their colors have so much yellow in them that I just this winter started really trying other brands in hope of finding a better match. I was also trying to find stuff that isn't too heavy and a lot of their foundations are.
After reading so many posts here about MMU, my next step will be to try those. They sound so much better! |
