Chanel Reverie Natural Loose Powder Holiday 2012 Review & Swatches

I’ve come across some great finishing powders to love this Holiday season one of which is Chanel’s Natural Loose Powder in Reverie ($52). With great sadness I’ll have to wave goodbye to Reverie once the Holidays are over as this is a limited edition shade that is releasing with the Chanel Holiday 2012 Collection.

I’m considering a back up at this point in my Holiday makeup life.

Reverie is a limited edition shade released with Chanel’s Holiday 2012 Collection. It’s the perfect addition to their Holiday Collection since shimmer is all the rage during the Holiday Season.

This is a universally flattering shade of Rosy Golden Beige that should work on most skin tones. It has gorgeous flecks of gold in the mix that create an ethereal sparkle on skin. The powder itself is a light coverage, matte finish setting and perfecting powder that will even out skin tone, set makeup, and create a glow on skin that will disguise minor imperfections or finer lines. The powder is silky and finely milled and looks smooth and even on my drier skin.

I realize not everyone is a fond fan of shimmer on facial powder but I thought the flecks of gold in the powder a delightful addition to a facial powder that can be used around the Holiday. Who doesn’t love a bit of festive shimmer around the Holidays? Just use it with a lighter hand for the best finish.

Overall, Reverie is truly a gorgeous color with just the right amount of cheerful, gold Holiday sparkle! The setting powder itself carries a luxurious feel and finish even on my drier skin. That added addition of gold shimmer might just be what seals the deal for you!

Gorgeous!

I’d pick it up if I were you.

Available at Chanel counters shortly or chanel.com for a limited time.
