Ah yes, Chanel Le Blanc is a classic – I still remember getting my first one. I’m using Les Beiges Water Fresh Tint, when I’m using anything. I hear you on the muddle – same destination, multiple routes!

That’s good to know – yes, it’s a natural skin elevator without being an Instagram moment :-))

I’m over 70, so the whole highlighter thing really does not work for me. This, however, does. It just seems to impart a healthy glowy evenness to my skin when applied lightly on its own, or under a very sheer foundation.

I’m stuck at a major muddle over current primers, base highlighters /illuminators and so on. (I don’t really bother much these days, but like to stay abreast of things)
Seems to me that everything once promoted as essential, individually, under foundation, has now begun to merge, and even cross the border into actual foundation (thinking of a newish Catrice primer) Like skin serums at one point recently, much of this stuff has suddenly abandoned claims for individual qualities, and dived after a more general, multi-tasking appeal. Both cases whiff of a bit of desperation, to be honest. Attracting the floating voter it were, by admitting any old slap will do!
Well, of course I exaggerate, and on days I feel really determined I do apply some Chanel Le Blanc under foundation, and I do notice the benefit. Brightened, without disco vibes.

(By the way Jane, which Chanel light bases are you favouring at the moment? I’m on the verge of buying that newly reformulated Le Teint Long Tenue wotsit, since I find I plaster concealer over sheer foundation anyway. I just can’t stop trying to erase freckles in unwanted areas like my jawline.)
