Agree that skincare isn’t essential in a foundation if you have a great skincare regime as hopefully, most of us try to do but don’t think there’s any harm in having it, especially if we’re wearing it for a number of hours &/or it addresses your skincare concerns, depending upon the season. My. skin is very dry in the fall & winter so I really appreciate a foundation that has nourishing & moisturizing properties. I don’t expect long-term benefits but it definitely makes my skin more comfortable & helps my foundation wear/look better.

I think it could go both ways for sure. For some, the added ingredients are just a bonus, but when you start adding too many, it is a higher chance for irritation for sensitive skin types. I like to have a mixture of both in my collection, and I am just noticing that almost every single one launching lately is high in the skincare.

Premature comment: I'm so curious about the NARS. The powder was always a favourite of mine, even when no one else talked about. It mattifies and blurs invisibly, while still working as a spotlight on your face. If you see it on your brush, you're using too much. I have only used the original "Crystal" shade so far. About the skincare component. If you see results with an actual skincare product, you're lucky. Maybe in three months. And that blue light hype? If at all, blue light affects darker skin tones much more than lighter ones. And, as the little data there is shows, the best protectant from blue light is iron oxides. Iron oxides are brown pigments which, naturally, are more prominent in darker shades of foundations. So just wear what you usually do, as long as you wear sunscreen. Edited: "teint" in French literally translates as complexion, not tint.

The Chanel boutique has it, but that SA there said it was for only up to 30 year olds, LOL. and tried to push the Sublimage le teint, which I did like when I tried it, but $150.00.

Thanks for your video. They both are beautiful on you. Personally I think adding more ingredients to a foundation such as skin care is a marketing ploy to get customers to buy their products. To me these extra ingredients cannot totally fulfil the claims. The tiny amounts added don’t seem adequate. And for people with allergies could create extra problems. And I don’t consider a study with only 20-30 women to be accurate. A study should include at least 100 or more.

I ordered the Chanel foundation because I have never tried a foundation from them. The color I chose is B20 and it's a perfect match. I have combo skin and am acne prone. I've only patch tested it and so far, I like it very much. I ordered a sample of the Nars from Ulta which was free if purchasing $40 of Nars products. I have the Soft Matte foundation but I had trouble getting color matched with that foundation as even their cool toned ones are a little too warm. I have the shade Vienna and that formula is a little too matte. The sample color is Mont Blanc and I'm hoping that will be a better match. I've also heard that the Chanel is great as a mixing medium. So I'm going to give that a try as well and do the same thing with the Nars.

I’d like to weigh in…I think the new Chanel is a foundation on its own. It looked better on me the more I wore it. The Chanel le teinte has completely different textures and wear and most of ingredients. If you like the CONE type ingredient to smooth your skin then try le teinte, but if your looking for more skin care derived product with lightweight coverage and no CONE in it..go with new Chanel. I enjoyed the Chanel! But price wise I went with nars. It’s glorious on my skin. Totally lightweight no cones and just really evens my skin tone out. It’s worth going to Sephora and getting sample and shade matched as the tool on nars website is not accurate. I tried. Very natural and beautiful finish!

I have tried both hoping to find my holy grail foundation. I’m very fair and in Nars I bought Oslo, in No 1 Chanel, BR12. I found the Nars Oslo color to not be as cool toned as advertised but leaned more neutral, and I liked the coverage, but my face had a tacky feel all day long that bugged me. Even with finishing powder, still tacky feel. The Chanel BR12 was the perfect cool tone fair to match my skin. It goes on smoother immediately and no tacky feel. It made my skin look better. I think the NARS lasted a tad longer over the long work days and on off of my face mask. For me though, the color, the feel and finish of Chanel wins for me. With finishing powder (Hourglass) I had no oily shine at the end of the day. Overall, I feel NARS colors run more yellow to neutral tone across the color choices. Chanel has better cool tones and true neutral tones. Both are good. But Chanel is my top choice.

Thank you so much for a wonderful review. I absolutely loved how you compared them, your honesty and enthusiasm! You reviewed each of them individually ( you gave each foundation its own time to shine- I hope that makes sense) AND gave a fantastic comparison that I think everyone will be grateful for! As for the skin care in makeup, I agree with you! Also, I think it’s good to a certain extent or some situations ( if it makes wearing the products more comfortable, and really Is helpful, and/ or an individuals skin care routine isnt great), but otherwise i feel it’s often more about the company wanting to boost sales ( not always!). Too many essential oils and so called ‘healthy’ ingredients can often be sensitising etc. Or we may not want a particular ingredient in the foundation anyway. As for the blue light protection- that is offered by the iron oxides apparently and based on what I’ve seen and read, we only need to worry about blue light from the sun (apparently it’s responsible for more rapid and stubborn hyperpigmentation… they need to do more research on it still). You would know more about all this than me anyway! Again, Thank you so much for a wonderful video and you look absolutely gorgeous as always

You are so very welcome. I hope you love the Chanel!! The chanel does have fragrance, but it's super light, so it depends on how sensitive you are to that. Good luck on it working out for you...I hope it does!

It does maybe half a shade. I didn't feel like it was enough to warrant a different shade, but there was a tad bit of oxidation.

Both are beautiful. I recently bought Skin Twin, Lys, and Charlotte tilbury 😳 Ofcourse I'm wanting the Chanel. I got a sample of the Nars and didn't feel it wore well at the salon. Have to try it again. They both look beautiful on you. I'm just not sure on which coconut derived ingredients I break out from. Thankyou for the as always, indepth reviews.

Both look so pretty on you! I have the Chanel and love it. I want to try the Nars just because. I've always had such trouble finding a foundation in the brand overall. No matter the formula, they all run very yellow on me. I'll have to go in store to color match. I'm not in a rush. Maybe this summer I'll look at the Nars again. I'm having a bit of FOMO LOL

Buffing it in just moves it around and leaves streaks. If that is your preference, by all means, but stippling hasn’t let me or my clients down yet. Have a great day!

@@MandyDavisMUA i wasnt criticising lol its just that when foundation is warmed between the hands id blends better and allows you to cover the eye skin and underneath so it doesnt just stop and leave a llne directly under the eye where it isnt blended....when its smoothed into the skin it gives a more even look too

So glad you did this review !! I bought the Nars and love the way it looks initially but noticed it breaks up and looks very dry as the day goes on. I’m not powdering it either. I was so sad ! Always been a fan of Chanel - so I might need to try the Chanel #1. I’m 56 and have very dry skin.

So the more I read about the NARS the more I see it says it’s silicone free so not to use a silicone primer - I’m not sure how you’re supposed to blur pores when most pore blurring primers have silicone - I’m wondering if that’s why it doesn’t last on some people - I got shade matched in store and she just put it on part of my cheek and it totally disappeared - as far as it blended in well, but I didn’t wear it over anything except face lotion. And I didn’t set it or wear it all day. I’m really curious how it wears over primers - I have gripping, Tatcha silk (pot), Hourglass mineral veil, Benefit Porefessional, FAB coconut smoothie and ultra repair primers, and a few others, so I feel like it would be “repelled” by the primers. If foundation improved your skin with every wear you would eventually not need any - I don’t think they want that to really happen or they’d go out of business.

Hi Wendy! I don't typically use primers on myself and only rarely on my clients. I have yet to use one with this particular NARS foundation, but I have definitely used Hourglass Vanish and Veil underneath the Soft Matte and haven't had an issue. If you have super large pores, the one in this video may not be the best bet since it's so luminous and can make them seem larger.

Hi Amanda, I am 42 so I definitely don't consider myself a spring chicken. That being said, there are people who benefit from skincare in a foundation and some that don't. For example, the more skincare you put in a product, the more apt someone is going to be sensitive to one of the ingredients. I can't wear foundations with Niacinamide in the inky list for more than a day in a row because I am sensitive to too much of that ingredient. I am not benefiting from it when it irritates my skin. And I have plenty of foundations with no skincare in them that far outperform those with. All in all, it's hard to make a blanket statement that skincare in foundation is great, when that isn't the case for all people and vice versa.

Excellent review. Thank you. I tried a sample of both and preferred the Chanel, primarily because I was able to get a better color match. Other than that, as you pointed out, they're very similar. For reference...my skin is normal-dry and "maturing." I'm sure somebody has already mentioned this, but "fond de teint" is French for "foundation." LOL!!
