Chanel Baume Essentiel in Transparent

If you are looking for a clean and dewy glow, this is the highlighter for you. Chanel Baume Essentiel in the shade Transparent is a gorgeous highlighter that smooths your skin and catches the light beautifully. It is a smooth balm texture which melts right into the skin leaving it with a natural glow. The texture is smooth and has a lovely consistency which makes you want to rub it all over your cheekbones.

This highlighter comes in two colors transparent and sculpting. Transparent is what the name suggests: a clean glow, while sculpting provides more of a pearlescent shine. I decided to go with transparent because I believe it is more of a unique highlighter since sculpting is a similar shade to a lot of beautiful highlighters out there.

I have been applying this highlighter on my cheekbones, inner corner of my eyes, my cupid bows, and a little below my eyebrow. It is such an easy product to use because it can be swept on the face directly from the tube or applied with fingers. I think using your fingers allow for more control but it is still fun to use the tube. I am really happy I gave into this highlighter because it seems different to the others I own. I love that it is also a multi-usage product! I think it would also be beautiful applied on top of a lipstick to make it more shiny. This highlighter is in no way drying and really leaves my skin looking supple and hydrated. It also does sit on the face nicely throughout the day and does not feel uncomfortable or sticky.

Chanel did not fail to disappoint with this beauty and I will probably eventually give in and purchase the other shade!
