This Is The Secret To Looking Bright & Well-Rested
THE BACKGROUND BEHIND THE BUZZ
Botanical beauty brand Chantecaille has long been a go-to for those wanting complexion products that enhance rather than mask. True to form, its new Bio Lifting Concealer – exclusively available now at Chantecaille and John Lewis – is already generating serious buzz. And there's an exclusive 20% off for SheerLuxe readers via this link.
What sets Chantecaille apart is its pioneering approach. Since the 1990s it has championed quality botanicals within its formulas and built a range of products that blur the boundaries between skincare and make-up, merging long-term benefits with luxurious, wearable textures – and this latest launch is no exception.
THE FORMULA
This concealer works hard. Clinically proven to reduce the look of wrinkle depth by up to 41% instantly,* it leaves you looking fresher and more well-rested. It’s medium coverage but with a fresh, flexible feel, so it moves with your skin and doesn’t feel cakey. With a subtle, light-diffusing quality, it helps blur and smooth texture, resulting in a more even-looking finish. Boosted by a powerful botanical peptide complex, the formula actively plumps and smooths, in turn softening the appearance of fine lines around the delicate eye area and supporting your skin’s elasticity levels over time. It also contains anti-inflammatory Gentiana lutea extract to ease puffiness, as well as Persian silk tree extract, an ingredient often used to target dark circles, to help you appear noticeably brighter.
THE APPLICATION
After cleansing, press a couple of drops of the Bio Lifting Serum+ into your skin using your fingertips to smooth fine lines and boost hydration, followed by the rich, luxurious Bio Lifting Repair Concentrate+ which locks in moisture and feels really comforting. Then, to even out your skin tone, reach for the Future Skin Gel Foundation. The finish feels fresh and natural-looking and the gel formula is brilliant if your skin leans dehydrated. This is where the Bio Lifting Concealer really comes into its own, layering beautifully with other formulas.
The creamy, serum-like texture melts seamlessly into the skin, making it easy to apply with your fingertips for a natural finish or build up with the brand's soft, cushiony Blend and Conceal Brush for more coverage where needed. Pat it in gently under the eyes, around the nose or over any areas of redness. It instantly covers discolouration and creates a soft-focus effect, subtly blurring texture while maintaining a skin-like finish.
THE VERDICT
If you like your base to look like skin, this delivers. It’s the kind of concealer that quietly does the heavy lifting without feeling thick. The coverage is flexible and the blurred finish is extremely flattering – plus, we love that it has added skincare benefits. Consider it the fast-track to looking like you secured those all-important eight hours.
"I'm never without a quality concealer in my make-up bag, and Chantecaille's Bio Lifting formula has quickly become a new firm favourite. It really pulls its weight, diffusing texture and making my skin look brighter and overall more uniform – the kind of product I always want to have close to hand. I wear the shade ‘Cream’." - Orin Carlin, beauty writer.
