This exceptional duo leaves skin looking beautifully radiant and flawlessly eventoned, while also delivering intense comfort. I have been looking quite a while for such a result and tested a lot of products after my longtime favorite make-up got discontinued, this duo is absolutely worth the investment, you’ll shine head to toe. Thank me after! Here you go …

CHANEL SUBLIMAGE LE SOIN PERFECTEUR
Ultimate Radiance-Enhancing Priming Moisturizer
3 x 15 ml CHF 280.-

A 3-in-1 moisturizer, primer and illuminator that perfects the look of skin and preps for foundation. Imperfections appear visibly diminished and pores look minimized. The complexion has a more radiant appearance, even without makeup.

Key Ingredients
Intense Vanilla Planifolia Water, a potent antioxidant, helps shield skin from free radicals and reduces the appearance of dullness caused by oxidative stress. Hyaluronic acid offers exceptional hydrating benefits, while a marine extract refines the look of skin texture. Pearlescent particles add a touch of luminosity.

How To Apply
Use as a daily moisturizer, as a base for makeup or on targeted areas for a subtle glow. Follow with the foundation for a sublime finish.

CHANEL SUBLIMAGE L’ESSENCE DE TEINT
Ultimate Radiance-Generating Serum Foundation
40 ml with brush CHF 165.-
Available shades in Switzerland : B10 / BR12 / B20 (mine) / BR22 / B30 / B40

An exquisite foundation with an unprecedented serum-like texture that melts into skin and instantly creates a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion. Day after day, skin maintains a luminous appearance.

Key Ingredients
Infused with Vanilla Planifolia—the signature ingredient of SUBLIMAGE—along with soothing Vanilla Enfleurage Oil and light-reflecting mica, this sensorial formula moisturizes and plumps the look of skin. Antioxidants help protect against external aggressors. Includes a deluxe brush for seamless, customizable coverage.

How To Apply
Dispense a drop of foundation on the back of your hand and dip the brush into the product. Dab onto each cheek, forehead, chin and neck, then smooth over your face from the center outward to blend. Use the tip of the brush to build targeted coverage where desired.
