My recent decluttering of my makeup collection highlighted a significant gap in my everyday foundation options: I needed a lightweight, natural-looking formula for those days when full coverage felt too heavy. This led me down the rabbit hole of researching lightweight foundations, and one name kept popping up: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. Specifically, I was interested in shade B30, a shade I hoped would be a good match for my fair-to-medium skin tone. This review, therefore, is based on my personal experience with Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua in B30, drawing on my own usage and comparing it to other Chanel foundations I've tried. It's a deep dive into the texture, application, wear, and overall performance of this popular foundation, addressing the common questions and concerns surrounding this much-loved product.
The Review: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
Before diving into the specifics of B30, let's establish the overall impression of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. This foundation consistently receives praise for its lightweight, almost watery texture. It's described by many, and my experience confirms, as having a refreshing feel upon application. This is a stark contrast to heavier, more full-coverage foundations that can feel thick and mask-like. The "aqua" in the name is no marketing gimmick; the foundation truly feels hydrating and almost weightless on the skin. This makes it ideal for those with normal to dry skin, or for warmer months when a heavier foundation feels too much.
However, the lightweight texture doesn't compromise on coverage. While it's not a full-coverage foundation, it provides a beautiful, buildable medium coverage. You can easily sheer it out for a barely-there, natural look, or build it up for more coverage where needed. This versatility is a significant advantage, allowing you to tailor the foundation to your specific needs and the occasion. I found that B30 blended seamlessly into my skin, creating a very natural-looking finish. The finish leans more towards dewy than matte, which I appreciate, especially as my skin tends to be on the drier side.
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation Review + Swatches
Now, let's focus on B30. Finding the right shade is crucial for any foundation, and with Chanel's reputation for a wide range of shades, I had high hopes. I've included swatches below (though the accuracy of online swatches can vary depending on lighting and screen calibration). B30, in my experience, is a beautiful fair-to-medium beige with neutral undertones. It's not too yellow, nor too pink, making it a relatively versatile shade that should suit a range of skin tones. It's important to note that even within a single shade, the appearance can vary slightly depending on the lighting and the level of build-up.

The application process is smooth and effortless. I've used it with both a beauty blender and a foundation brush, and both methods worked flawlessly. The liquid texture glides onto the skin without any tugging or pulling. The foundation blends quickly and easily, leaving a seamless, even finish. It doesn't settle into fine lines or pores, which is a huge plus for me.
