Chanel Light Peach Water-Fresh Blush Review & Swatches

Light Peach

Chanel Light Peach Water-Fresh Blush ($50.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a light peach with strong, warm orange undertones and a satin finish (once it dried down). While it did not appear particularly amazing swatched on my arm, it did apply quite well to my cheeks with a brush.

Sheer coverage, buildable to semi-sheer
Must be applied to back of hand & swirled together
Applied evenly with a brush
Applied unevenly with fingertips
Long-wearing (8 hours)

Formula Overview

$50.00/0.5 oz. - $100.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a a "sheer touch of colour" with a "natural-loloking flushed effect" that "hydrates" skin for 8-hours. Per the brand, you're supposed to dispense product onto the back of your hand and then use fingertips or a brush.

This is a critical step, though they left out what I think is the most important part of the step/reasoning: the "micro-droplet pigments" must be broken up and blended in with the water base. I found that fingertips did the worst job with this, where as a synthetic stippling brush made short work and diffused the pigments and water together for an even result.

A synthetic brush also worked best for applying the very thin, watery consistency without lifting up base products. Fingertips seemed more prone to moving around base products when I tried patting on the liquid blush.

The coverage was sheer and could be built up to semi-sheer coverage with a second layer. It dried down to a satin finish--not quite matte but not dewy as a lot of the water evaporated. The blush lasted for eight hours on me before fading slightly.

Cle de Peau Silk Scroll (P, $65.00).

Formula Overview

$45.00/0.12 oz. - $375.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a "satin finish" with "ultra-thin pigments" that yield "full coverage" while also having a moisturizing base. Most shades in the range have a satin to luminous finish--not glossy but they have a luminosity to them that gives the appearance of lighter-weight color and smoother, fuller lips that a true satin finish doesn't have (in my experience).

The texture has a more velvety feel--smooth with great glide but not a lot of wetness, so they go on comfortably but feel very lightweight and thin but don't emphasize lip lines/lip texture. The coverage tends to be more semi-opaque to opaque, so they aren't always living up to the "full coverage" claim.

Most shades wear four hours or longer with some of the deeper and richer hues lasting six hours or more, and the formula has been hydrating for me. They have a subtle, floral scent but no discernible taste.

MAC Heat Index (LE, $30.00).

Formula Overview

$18.00/0.15 oz. - $120.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "richly pigmented" (though also "buildable") and "long-wearing" that "hydrate[s] skin." The product is sold with a compact for $30.00 or as a refill pan for $18.

They were very pigmented, so a little went a long way, and I liked using synthetic brushes for application the most because I found I had a little more control over the coverage and could build it up without less error. With a fingertip, the tackier consistency made it easy to pick up more product than necessary, so more blending/diffusion was required.

The consistency was creamy, smooth, and tackier to the touch, so I was surprised it was not prone to lifting up base products as well. I noticed that it seemed a little less dewy when applied over a matte foundation, almost like it took on the underlying base finish, but it didn't create patchiness or unevenness. The blush's finish on bare skin was lightly dewy, not really tacky to the touch, and never fully dried down so there was some transfer if I accidentally touched my face or the like.

They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading.

What color and finish of blush are you still looking for?

A soft, plummy-brown with a satin finish–like Marc Jacobs Flesh & Fantasy but pinker and a little more shimmery. I think the closest to my idea would be Lethal’s Ornamental, which I do love!
