Beauty Care: Chanel Lilas Baume Essentiel Review & Swatches

Lilas

Chanel Lilas Baume Essentiel ($45.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a translucent, pinkish-lavender with neutral-to-cool undertones and a dewy, lightly pearlized sheen. In my experience, this formula really works best as a highlighter or lip balm, as it has no staying power as an eye product (it is marketed as a multi-tasking formula!).

Sheer coverage (as marketed)
Balmy, emollient, spreadable
Applied fairly evenly but best with a brush to avoid lifting base products
Lasted ~6 hours as a cheek product, ~2 hours as a lip balm, almost no longevity as an eye product
