Chantecaille just skin tinted moisturizer review

As much as I'd love to have a flawless base, on a day to day basis, I can never be bothered with foundation. Instead I prefer to use something a little lighter. So for the last few weeks, I've been putting Chantecaille just skin tinted moisturizer to the test:

As tinted moisturizers go, this is on the thicker side. When I first used it, my immediate thought was that it felt more like a BB cream than a tinted moisturizer. I like to use my fingers to apply a pea sized blob and you can see in the photo below, it helps to add some warmth, even out my skin tone and disguise any minor areas of redness. Coverage is very sheer though, and you will still need a concealer for any dark circles and spots.

What really impressed me though, was that it gave the most natural radiant finish to my skin. It somehow managed to make my skin look glowy, but not at all shiny. In fact, I could have easily skipped powder, had it not been for the fact that my skin tends to get oilier if I don't. Compared to other tinted moisturizers, it seems to last longer too.

For reference, I'm using the shade Nude, which is a good match for my NC25 skintone.

At £57, this is the single most expensive item in my make up collection. Because of the price, I wouldn't say it's an absolute must have, but if you did want to treat yourself, then this would be a very good product to buy. Me personally? It's my favourite tinted moisturizer to date, so unless I find something better I probably would repurchase once this tube runs out.
