Does anyone know if any other Chanel foundation matches the Lift Lumiere in 05 faience in colour? Including the Asian exclusives like the Le Blanc B10 or the Vitalumiere Aqua in BO20 or even the White Essentiel.
If the swatches on the Chanel websites (Asian and US) are anything to go by, VA in BO20 is a bit darker than Lift Lumiere in 05 Faience. VA BO20 is a bit closer to Lift Lumiere in 20 Clair or 30 Cendré. I only found Le Blanc in BR10, which is a bit more pink. I wonder if Chanel Asia is discontinuing it? White Essentiel in 05 Beige Ivoire may be an option. Mat Lumiere in 02 Porcelain or 14 Ivory, or Vitalumiere in 07 Ivoire may be as well. (I think VA in B10 would be slightly too dark. Same with the outgoing Pro Lumiere in 10.)

^^ Enjoy! I love your avatar - I'm a snoopy and peanuts fan! I forgot about the newPerfection Lumiere foundation that is coming out next month. So they will come out before the RA velvets? Dior has a new foundation, diorskin forever and I'm quite excited to try it. Between diorskin forever and perfection lumiere, I hope one will impress me and I can have a new foundation for the cooler months!

Lou, when I was in Vegas at the new MUFE boutique in Sephore the ma matched me up with the lift concealer in #1. I'm really liking it. The female ma started to put me in #2 but the guy stepped in and said #1 and it is the best one for me. I'm very pale and #2 would have looked like dirt under my eyes.

I got the dirt thing when I tried Victoria's Secret concealer also in the lightest color. Elegant mentioned the VS concealer or I would have never thought to try it. I liked the concealer itself but there is not a light enough color for me.

i tried it on my hand at the counter today and it settled into the lines of my hand which instantly put me off to be honest :( off i go to find a make up forever concealer that matches me!
 
 
Good luck. I love Mufe concealers. I use Full Cover for little blemishes on my face and HD for under my eyes because it's so creamy and natural looking.

I have the lift concealer in #2. It matches me well and I've used it a couple of times. When my cdp cream stick concealer finishes I shall use it everyday. It is now finally down to the last 1 cm after a few years of daily usage.

A lovely MA just texted me that they have a new cream foundation! I'm guessing it is the Perfection Lumiere foundation and I'm excited to test it out!

I have a feeling the new foundation is another one that will be available in Asia (where Miss QQ is) and Europe before the US. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it Miss QQ.

^^ you're right! It turns out the new foundation is Vitalumiere Hydra, and it is indeed a cream foundation. I'm quite sure it is replacing Teint Innocent cream, since Vitalumiere Aqua replaced TI fluid. I didn't see the foundation in person yet, I only saw it from a distance as I was passing by the store. It looks like it comes in the same packaging as TI cream compact. I never had TI cream because I don't use cream foundation. Are they heavy? I may give this a go if I can get a sample.

Yeah we haven't heard of Vitalumiere Hydra at all! I only tried TI cream at the counter before. Hopefully Hydra has a good colour range for everyone to find a good match. Now there is a big Vitalumiere line!

Have you tried the new cream one? That's Hydra. It just launched here, while VA launched a year ago for us. I think some of the ladies here have the concealer and they like it, but I'm not sure if it's the same concealer you want.

Does anyone know what's happening with Mat Lumière in Europe? They only have five shades listed on the website and the shade 05 Faince that I've been using seems to be gone :( 20 Clair is way too dark for me..
