wearing pieces from the new Chanel Les Beiges summer 2015 Collection
There’s beige…a color which is typically associated with drab hospital walls, sensible shoes and cat barf.
That face you make when you find a fresh glob of goopy cat barf on your treadmill, beside which stands your cat, looking all smug and self-satisfied…
And then there’s Chanel Beige. also known as yaaaaaas.

I have no idea how Chanel turned a color as historically boring as beige into something so covetable, but they did it with the new Les Beiges summer 2015 Collection.
Pretty pieces from the new Chanel Les Beiges summer 2015 Collection…

For the hardcore Chanel-ophiles among us, I’ll get to that striped face powder in the above picture and what it’s doing there in a minute, but first! — what is Les Beiges?
Well, it’s two things. One, it’s a line of sheer face powders in the Chanel permanent collection, and two, it’s also a collection of sun-protected and healthy glowing skin-themed annual summertime products released by Chanel for summer over the past couple years.

Think polished but not overly perfected, and picture sheer tinted moisturizers, cream blushes and sheer face powders. All very summery.
This year’s Les Beiges summer 2015 release follow that same idea, and it includes multicolored face/cheek powders, stick blushes (these are new!), nail polishes, a couple of glosses, a balm, a retractable kabuki brush, face powders and tinted moisturizers. The only things listed on the Chanel website as “limited edition” are the tinted moisturizers, so here’s to hoping that most of these items stick around a while.
Chanel Les Beiges healthy glow Multi-Color No. 02 broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen ($65)
Now, about that striped face powder in the above picture…OK, I didn’t realize until after taking these pictures that this version here is from last year’s Les Beiges summer 2014 Collection.
Jepp.
Whoops! Min feil. This year’s version has more stripes (see here), as well as two colors in the pan instead of three, but if the 2015 version’s finish is like last year’s, which I believe it is, it should be worth checking out.
The pan of Les Beiges healthy glow Multi-Colour Powder in No. 02 in these pics, which I’m wearing as a sheer bronzer, creates a soft, natural-looking sheen/glow. In these pics I’m wearing it lightly dusted around the perimeter of my face, across the bridge of my nose and toward the back of my cheeks.
As for the other Les Beiges pieces I’ve been wearing…
Chanel Les Beiges All-In-One healthy glow fluid broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen
Chanel Les Beiges Sunscreen
Les Beiges All-In-One healthy glow fluid broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen, a tinted moisturizer with SPF, is lightweight, sheer (expensive) and pore-blurring, with a strong gardenia and green apple scent. Skin looks natural when wearing it, but ever-so-slightly perfected. When I use it, my skin tone appears even, but I can still see my freckles.
I wear shade No. 40, which is a deep tan with slightly peach undertones, and for reference, I’m a MAC NC42. My skin leans warm with yellow undertones, and No. 40 is a tad darker and peachier than I usually like to wear. but because it’s quite sheer, I think it’s still doable.
The moral of this story is this: if you can’t find an exact match for your skin tone with this product, don’t fret. If you can get close, you can probably still work it.
I really dig this tinted moisturizer. It’s comfortable and beautiful, and I love the non-fussy semi-matte finish.
I am kind of alarmed, though, that it’s listed on the Chanel website as limited edition. Why is the good stuff always LE? Ack! It SUCKS!!!
Chanel Les Beiges blush healthy glow sheer Colour Stick in No. 21
Chanel Les Beiges blush Stick No. 21 ($45)
Les Beiges blush healthy glow sheer Colour Stick in No. 21 feels exactly like Chanel’s cream Blush, except that it comes in stick packaging. What starts as a silky cream when it’s first applied dries down to a powder with a satiny finish. apply itmed enten fingre eller en børste fordi begge fungerer bra.
Nr. 21, skyggen jeg har på seg i disse bildene, er en varm rosa korall, og jeg er litt forelsket i det. Å være synlig, men ikke Hella åpenbart, det burde være veldig bra for sommeren.
Også veldig bra for å hjelpe meg på min søken etter å bli “kule tante Karen”, som adskiller seg fra “Crazy Auntie Karen som har for mye rouge.”

Iført to strøk Le Vernis i 663 Lovely Beige
Ærlig talt kan jeg ikke si at beige neglelakk gjør at jeg vil slippe buksene mine, men hvis det var en beige neglelakk som var i stand til å gjøre det, ville det være en fra Chanel. Åpenbart.
Denne skyggen, 663 flotte beige, er akkurat det. En nydelig beige. Ladylike og varmt, det er pigmentert til ninene. Du kan enkelt gjøre ett lag av denne peachy beige og gå på din glede måte.
