Do you ever see a photo of a celebrity and wonder how on Earth their makeup looks so flawless? Sure, a lot of this has to do with celebrity makeup artists, access to the top derms and facialists, and Photoshop, but there is one product that celebrity makeup artists consistently reach to more than any other for a flawless, skin-like finish.
The product in question? Chantecaille Future Skin Gel Foundation. Makeup artists have been reaching for this product for years, but it first garnered attention when it became known as the foundation that celebrity makeup artist Donni Davy reached for on the Euphoria set. “These foundations look like skin, they do not look at all like foundation,” Davy told Who What Wear UK. “It melts into the skin and looks so much like skin.”
The trick to this foundation is all in the formula. Chantecaille Future Skin is an oil-free gel, which allows for customizable, lightweight, and buildable coverage. It melts seamlessly into skin, like an IRL Instagram filter. Since it’s made with 60 percent water, aloe, and Camellia sinensis (tea leaf) extract, the formula also hydrates and nourishes skin while it evens and adds coverage.
Every product has a downside, and the downside to Chantecaille Future Skin is that it’s $89, which is quite a pretty penny for foundation. Even though the jar lasts a long time and is definitely worth the investment, I still feel uneasy shelling out so much for a face product. Right now, though, Dermstore is having their Anniversary Sale, and one of the products included in the sale is Chantecaille Future Skin. From August 8 until August 17, you can use the code CHEERS at checkout to get 25% off Chantecaille’s cult-favorite foundation (and plenty of other beloved products).
