Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Sticks: Your Makeup Bag Needs One Right Meow!

July 25th, 2017 by Karen 5 Comments

Current cream blush obsession…the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour Sticks ($45 each)

Every day after Connor and I have lunch, we go outside to play on the grassy knoll in the front yard common area here in our little condo complex, and almost every day we go out there, I’ve got some degree of craziness on my face — mismatched eyeshadow, false lashes with the wingspan of a bird of prey, bright green Hulk gloss, etc. — so I usually look a little nuts and get some sidelong glances.

Do I really care? Nope!

It is nice, though, when I’m not testing some new makeup and actually, ya know, look kinda normal and someone gives me a compliment, which happened last week while I was wearing the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour stick No. 24.

Actually, come to think about it, whenever I wear one of these cream blushes, somebody asks about it. I’d probably do the same if I saw a gal wearing one, because they’re bomb!

I wish I could wear all of these on my cheeks at the same time and not look completely cray-cray. From the top, that’s No. 21, No. 22, No. 23 and No. 24. There’s also a tan shade called No. 20 that I haven’t tried.

They’re twist-up cream blush sticks sort of like the NARS Multiples, and there are five of them, all available on Chanel counters now in the new Les Beiges collection. Also, yay! — I’ve been told that they’re permanent.

They feel similar to the Multiples but aren’t quite as dry. They’re wetter and creamier, so they’re also 1) easier to blend and 2) don’t push around whatever you have on your cheeks, like foundation, tinted moisturizer, concealer, etc.

No. 22

No. 20 is a tan shade, and I haven’t tried it…YET!). No. 21 is a warm peachy pink. No. 22 is a bright coral. No. 23 is a rosy pink with secretive, little golden sparkles that are only visible up close. And No. 24 is a coral, also with tiny, timid sparkles.

The colors look bright in their sticks, but they go on fairly sheer. Not completely sheer, though. You can certainly see color on your skin, but the colors don’t deposit so intensely that they become hard to control. They’re like Chanel’s powder Joues Contraste blushes in that way.

No. 21

Oh, side note! Speaking of the Joues Contraste blushes, these creams look AMAZING when you layer them together. I really, really like the pink shades — No. 21 and No. 23 — together with Chanel Pink Explosion or Rose Initiale. And then No. 22 and No. 24 with Malice.

Also, combining them with the Contraste blushes makes them last longer, like 8+ hours! — although they still last about six hours on my cheeks by themselves, which is pretty good.

No. 23

FYI, they are fragrant. Yes, you know how Chanel loves to scent their makeup. They smell fresh, fruity and floral, like apples, jasmine and a hint of lychee.

No. 24

To apply them, I recommend using a kabuki brush and running it across the top of one of the sticks. Then, gently sweep and swirl the loaded brush directly on your cheeks. This way works best for me on either bare skin or a sheer base like tinted moisturizer, BB cream or CC cream.

If you’re going to be wearing primer, a medium- to full-coverage foundation, concealer and the whole nine yards, though, I just use fingers. I’ll pat (not swipe) and press the cream on my cheeks and blend out the edges.

Seriously, SO in love with these! They’re right up there with Kjær Weis Sun Touched Cream Blush, which rocks me to my makeup-lovin’ core. They’re both tied among higher-end cream blushes for me.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Now I am intrigued. I saw them at the Chanel counter and was on the fence. I want the eye shadow palette and was going to pass on the blush but since you have such high praise, I may have to get one. I also have a Chanel powder blush in Rose Ecrin and I think it would compliment one of the cream blushes. There goes my budget!?

    Oh, these look lovely on your cheeks, no wonder you got compliments on wearing them. I am all about These easy to blend creamy blushes right now, with the heat we are experiencing they ar the perfect thing to wear.

      The struggle is so real. I’m slowly building up an army of cream blushes. I keep telling myself no more but alas… That isn’t happening any time soon.

      How have you been? It’s been a minute! I hope you and the fur kids are doing great. Things on this end have been busy, but good.

        We’re good! Hettie is pawing at me to say hi. She’s been giving Mina lots of kisses and it’s very cute. I’m busy too, work and circusing. I have some nice bruises on my hip creases right now, LOL.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
