The long awaited new Chanel Perfection Lumiere is finally out. The hype behind the Chanel Perfection Lumiere line is that it offers  both the widest shade range Chanel has ever offered in this category, as well as two proprietary complexes intended to perfect skin. , said Christine Dagousset, executive vice president of Fragrance and Beauté for Chanel in the U.S.

This foundation was designed to be very universal. Chanel’s creative director for makeup, Peter Philips, counts perfect skin among the most important features a woman can have and, since joining the brand in January 2008, has made it his goal to create a ‘perfect’ foundation: one that adjusts to the skin needs of every ethnicity and stays in place with a flawless finish.” said Christine Dagousset, U.S. executive vice president of Fragrance and Beauté for Chanel

The formula, explained Philips, is created with two proprietary complexes. Perfect Skin Affinity Complex is a flexible, adhesive biopolymer derived from medical patch technology that is designed to take on the form of the skin, moving with it to create “an invisible second skin,” he said. The brand’s Perfect Light Control Complex is another key innovation in the formula, said Philips. “Classic powders only partially reflect the light,” he explained. “This complex contains two types of hemispherical powders. Some are semisheer for luminosity; others are coated with a mineral pigment with the goal of blurring the appearance of skin imperfections.”

The formula is said to last as long as 15 hours, and has a semi-matte finish that works on all skin types (whether oily or dry, fair or dark) and in all circumstances, he added.
