Review: Chantecaille Future Skin
Chantecaille Future Skin
All good makeup application begins with a great foundation, and no one understands this better than Sylvie Chantecaille. As the original creator of Prescriptives, the first brand to formulate custom-blend foundation to match every range of skin tone, she understands better than anyone what makes a great foundation, and she has applied it to Chantecaille.
Future Skin by Chantecaille is the Rolls Royce of foundations. The oil-free gel is composed of 60 percent positively charged water that absorbs moisture from the environment to hydrate the skin all day, Future Skin comes in 13 different shades for three different undertones.
It is also loaded with natural botanicals—including aloe, camomile and arnica—that work to calm irritation and soothe sensitive skin. Rosemary, green tea and rice bran boost immunity and help fight oxidation.

Typically, the pink tones of most foundations for fair skin heighten redness and appear unnatural on my fair skin. However, Future Skin’s lightweight texture and light reflecting pigments can be applied to provide just a sheer glow or layered for more coverage. Chantecaille’s global make up artist Fernando Cadavid used the lighter shade of Future Skin in the undertone-balanced shade of Alabaster, applied with a concealer brush and fingers. It gave great coverage where needed, matched flawlessly, and gave the glow of flawless skin without any unnatural heaviness.
Using wisdom from aromatherapy, European flower pharmacology, Chinese medicine, and biotechnology, Future Skin contains a natural SPF10. It contains no petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or synthetic colors, so the natural active ingredients are absorbed easily and treat the skin while providing flawless makeup.
Cadavid finished off with Protection Naturelle SPF 46, a micro fine transparent powder with natural sunscreen that can be applied over makeup and comes in light and bronze for a perfect finish.
