Soleil Tan
De Chanel is a weightless cream and almost a whipped mousse type bronzing
product. It blends into skin effortlessly and diffuses easily for a sheer
finish with a hint of colour, a slight shimmer and a silk finish
all over. Soleil works wonderfully for light contouring as well as all over
bronzing. It is defiantly not a heavy or dark in tone, it does warms to the
skin so comes across very subtle in giving you a natural bronze-sun kissed tone.
It looks a lot more of a deep tone bronze in its packaging, but once it is on
the skin, it's very sheer, not muddy/dirty like other bronzers at all, almost
milk chocolate in colour. It does make you look naturally bronzed rather than a
fake-tan look.
It applies and blends beautifully, so you can control exactly
where you want the colour to go which is why is so wonderful for contouring and
the best part is that is never gets cakey or clumpy, it also contains little
gold light reflectors which has an amazing way of leaving your skin looking luminous
but no overly shinny, the colour is medium but buildable if you wanted a deeper
tone. I would recommend Soleil Tan de Chanel is
suitable for light to medium skin tones but do think it is a little cool for
warmer skin tone and defiantly have to work with it to a build colour.
Packaging is of the typical chic Chanel style
twist open frosted jar with the ever famous interlinking double "C"
trademark on the lid but this time in a gorgeous gold - not the usual white and
if you’re like me and a complete sucker for packing me you won’t be able to
resist and be bedazzled by it.
Bourjois Bronze Primer has a similar texture but a lot more moussey and I think
that may well be a good dupe, so if you don't fancying splashing the GBP31.00
price tag of the Chanel version however the colour is a little deeper and more
orange based rather than yellow like the Soliel so you may end up with a
heavier tone as well as a more of a fake tan look and here a little bit in
random information for you Bourjois are actually owned by Chanel so you do
often find similar products between the two but there defiantly is a difference
in pro-long where.
Soleil Tan de Chanel so amazing to wear,
application of just a small amount will definitely take you long way and
throughout the day, this wears for close to 8 hours on my combination skin when
worn as a contour base.
In this look I went over with NARS Laguna
powder bronzer on top to achieve a heavier contoured look for evening kind of
look
Well I think I have covered everything with
this little bad boy – defiantly a little gem for that make-up bag! Let me know
what you think
