Chanel Ensoleille Baume Essentiel Review & Swatches

Ensoleille

Chanel Ensoleille Baume Essentiel ($45.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a light coral with iridescent pink and gold pearl throughout an emollient, glossy base. The texture was creamy with high slip, which contributed more of a dewy sheen that visible color or pearl (which was quite fine in particle size already).

It had sheer color coverage–as marketed–that applied well to bare skin and over light-coverage foundations but was best patted over a dewier base as matte foundations seemed to move around more with this on top. It lasted for six and a half hours before migrating a bit. It did not function as a eye product for me as it was prone to creasing from the get-go.
