The long-running Unsung Heroes series here on makeup and charm blog features some of our all-time favorite permanent collection products.
Have you ever seen the Gisele Bündchen ad for the Chanel Les Beiges healthy glow sheer Powder? She’s literally glowing! I think it was that and the amazing-looking beige compact that made me want to purchase it… and god, am I delighted I did… I mean, it’s become one of my favorite makeup products of all time. It’s certainly my favorite bronzer of all time. You know, with it Chanel created a new concept of bronzer… A sheer bronzer that’s impossible to overdo.

I have shade 50, which looks pretty dark, but I think that if I had gotten a lighter shade, it wouldn’t really have showed up on my skin. So, if you want to get this, my guidance is to get a darker shade than you typically would. I mean, if you get a lighter shade, you can use it as a setting powder, I guess… Well, actually, I think Chanel advertises this as a setting powder as well, but to get the most out of it, I think that you ought to really get a darker shade and use it as a bronzer.
