CHANEL LES BEIGES HEALTHY GLOW SHEER POWDER IN NO.20 + COMPARISON TO NO.30 AND NO.40

No.20 is the perfect all-over powder for my current (winter) skin tone (medium, olive, Mac NC30 / Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua).  It's the perfect colour match to my skin tone for a natural look.  It gives me a lovely glow as the name suggests without adding any depth of colour.  I already own No.30 and No.40 and glad I purchased No.20 as well (I had a Myer voucher, so I only had to pay half the price for it in the end - woot!).  For a more natural tanned look in my current winter (paler) skin tone, I use a heavy application of No.30, or a sheer application of No.40.  No.40 is also great for contouring.  In summer, I'll be a shade or 2 darker, so I can switch to a shade darker to match.  I love this product so much! ^_^  For comparison swatches of the three shades, take a look down below.

If you wish to see more photos and details about this product such as method of application, the weight, scent, availability, ingredients, etc, please see my previous review on shade No.40 - HERE (No.30 is HERE).

Swatches
All photographed indoors under artificial lighting and using a strobe.  On the right of the photo is a 'normal' application of No.20 using the provided 'moon-shaped' brush. (See photos of provided brush HERE).  As you can see, there's not really a colour difference, but hopefully you can see there's a very subtle sheen from No.20 that gives the 'healthy glow' effect. :)


Comparison Photos & Swatches of No.20, 30 & 40
As you can see in the photos of them in the pan, there appears to be a considerable difference in depth of colour between No.20 and No.30, and the difference between No.30 and No.40 doesn't appear to be as great.  When applied on the skin though as mentioned in my previous blog posts, the product is very sheer, so it's not as scary as they look in the pans at all.  The swatches below were done very heavily just to show the colours.  No.20 is a little difficult to see as it melds and matches the palest part of my wrist perfectly.
No.40 is obviously darkest of the three and appears more on the neutral side compared to No.30, which is the warmest of the three.


Availability
These are now available in Australia for AU$80.


Hope this was helpful.

Thanks for stopping by! ^_^ xo
