Anny if it helps I wear the lightest shade in MJ genius gel. I purchased this bronzer and by no way does it show up as orange - which is hard for me to find so I was excited to get this. I originally tried using this as a contour (didn't work) it does give me a beautiful sun kissed look (with a light hand) without looking garish. The formula is fantastic BTW. Going off if you're medium/light skin tone I would say it would be more of a bronzer. I highly recommend this product, but I don't think it would work on deeper skin tones. Just my opinion - nordies does have a good return policy if all else fails!
I'll give my two cents on it. I am medium skin tone and it did not work for me at all. When I applied it to my cheeks (I didn't wear any other blush since I wanted to see how it would look alone) it made me look like I was wearing 2 different shades of foundation. It was so yellowy orange on me. So it went back. I suggest you go to the store without blush or highlighter on and have an SA apply it on you. Then you can see if you like it or not.
Hi Anny--this works as a light bronzer for me but I can probably wear it lightly all over. I love that the shimmer is very subtle and you can't see it in sunlight. It's a beautiful glow. I love it and bought it!
I went to the Nordstrom event this weekend and had my make up done at the Chanel counter. He used it as a bronzer on me and then put on some blush as well. I'm wearing 2 of the cream eyeshadow sticks and the orange lipstick from the summer collection.
(sorry for bad pics, they weren't taken to be shared since I was tired but I thought it would be helpful)
I don't think they are bad pictures of you. You look lovely but stop enabling me lol. I'm trying to recover from Tom Ford summer collection. 🙂
lol I think you need this one blackkitty. Go try it in the store.
I also bought 2 of the cream eyeshadow sticks :Laurier Rose (wearing it in the pics above) and Azulejo. Both are soo beautiful! I read that someone used the blue powder from TF Midnight sea on top of Azulejo and that it was gorgeous so I had to buy it to see for my self. lol
Thanks for posting all your pics- you look gorgeous! I got Companade. Going to unbox and use it today. They used it on my at the Chanel event last week.
I bought the Laurier Rose - its soooo gorgeous! Also I think you look very pretty in your pics 🙂
I love the Orchidee eyeliner and laurier rose eyeshadow. The eyeshadow stayed on abt 12 hrs no creasing on my oily eyelids 😄
Darn it Kate. You and Greenchilli are killing me 😉 They are beautiful aren't they. I'm trying to skip the Chanel bronzer with the hope that Guerlain will release the Asia exclusive highlighter 😞
But they are two different things! You can have both! The Chanel will work as a bronzer for you and the Poudre de Soie will be a perfect highlighter to compliment it. I have been asking all the Guerlain reps I see about the highlighter and no one knows anything about it here 😞
If it is released in North America, I'm picking one up too!
Blackkitty, the Chanel illuminator is worth trying out. I highly recommend testing it at the counter. I quite like it because it has no shimmer and is just a glow. I think it would flatter medium skin tones a lot!
Annypoo,I think the Chanel Mediterranee would be a natural bronzer on you (subtle). Not to be confused with a contouring powder...but for a sunkissed glow.
Thanks greenchilli! Trying to decide by tonight if I should order from Saks 😛
I just bought the Chanel Mediterranee LE Illuminator during Nordies 3X period. My SA (that works at NARS) highly recommended it. Today is the second day that I have used it. I really like it.
Picture outdoors - not very sunny.
Swatch on my arm. I have swatched it right in the center of the picture (heavy swatch).
On me (medium/deep), it just gives a bit of luminosity. This has no shimmer, it has a glow. I used it all over my face. I think on deeper skin tones, it could also work well on the high points of the face - swatching is recommended. On light tones it would make a good bronzer that looks natural.
If you swatch it heavily, some pinkness shows through (certainly not orange or yellow). So I would describe this powder as bronze and not golden.
It is incredibly subtle on me. I see an "effect" - like healthy skin, but I doubt anybody would ask what highlighter I was wearing.
Saks has Les Beiges 2015 up on the site and it's 16% off Ebates from Saks + if you have a Saks card you should have an email promo code : ) woo hoo, time to shop!
Today I tested out this purple beauty the Stylo Eyeshadow stick from the Summer collection…and I learned that Les Beiges Summer has 'left the factory and shipped' so it could be in stores very soon!
My illuminator came in from Neiman's this afternoon! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Any more updates about this? I'm very curious. I'll test it out when I go in for the event in 2 weeks…I have a lot of bronzers and highlighters…but I can't really make up my mind if this is a bronzer or illuminator-wait it's a bronze-luminator! ha!
Gorgeous! Looks quite orange though, is it?
I think it's just bad lighting...It's dark and raining outside, so I couldn't get good natural light in the photo. It's actually a really nice bronze/gold color.
It's a little darker than I usually use in an illuminator, but I'll probably use it as a bronzer for now - It will probably be more illuminating with a tan this summer.
My local Nordstrom had it and I was able to swatch it in store. It is not as orange as it appears in the picture, but I found it to not be very pigmented. Which is not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to highlighters. I will be interested to hear Tamara76's thoughts too.
