As much as we obsess over luxury skincare and makeup, we’re just as obsessed with drugstore alternatives that are just as better. And we found one really good alternative for Chanel’s LES BEIGES Water-Fresh Tint foundation (typically $70). Best part? You can snag it on sale for less than $15.
The Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence Foundation ($14) is a glow-y, tinted moisturizer that’s packed with serums and gives a natural finish. The blendable, pigmented foundation is a must for anyone who wants either a more sheer foundation or a natural-finish, high-coverage one. It’s so good, even celebrities have used this!
For instance, for decades Queen Latifah has been a part of Covergirl as a brand ambassador. And the gorgeous actor and rapper who always seems to have the most stunning skin, has been a Covergirl for so long, so really, how can we not be obsessed with the brand? If you have a Peacock subscription, chances are you saw a commercial of her and Covergirl Kelsea Ballerini appeared in a commercial for a foundation so many are swarming to buy for glow-y, beautiful skin.

Not only can it help perfect your skin tone, but it’s also filled with two very important ingredients: bakuchiol and tranexamic acid. With 0.5 percent of bakuchiol, a retinol alternative, it can help plump your skin, reduce fine lines, and more. And with tranexamic acid, it helps fade the appearance of dark spots for a brighter complexion.
In addition to all of this, many shoppers even say it’s very similar to the $70 Chanel water Tint foundation.
One shopper said they adored this foundation. They said, “Great tint but has a lot of coverage! This is better than the Chanel! The Chanel water tint you can’t fully mix it it leaves a horrible streak and is patchy on my skin. This one blends beautifully and i get coverage and it makes my skin look hydrated but not greasy or oily this is now my holy grail!”
Another shopper said it’s so similar to the $70 Chanel foundation, saying, “It’s a dupe for the CHANEL Water foundation…it really is, I am a retired Esthetician/Instructor of skincare a makeup lover and formulation educated.”
“This is beautiful tinted moisturizer that leaves your skin so supple and glowing! It is lightweight. This is a sheer to light coverage. There is no caked on full face of makeup look with this product; instead you are left with a healthy natural look. Even as lightweight as it is it does mask redness and flaws. It does not crease or sit in my wrinkles. All and all a thumbs up for sure,” a third shopper said.
