Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear Reviews

Teint Idole Ultra was my first high end foundation, and years later with a '24h' now added into the title it is still my #1 foundation and it has always had great staying power. I have it in 02. I used it again over the weekend after having been unfaithful and using 2 other brands of foundation on a regular basis of late. I really don't know why I bother with the others. This one is the best. It glides on easily, hardly needs buffing at all. It dries well so it doesn't rub off so easily and definitely lasts for 24hours - bad I know but it was the first time in years I've gone to bed with makeup on! And it looked great still in the morning! I love that this foundation is light and thin but provides maximum coverage- it makes my skin look flawless with a matte finish. I can see how it can be drying but I think that is how it lasts for so long on your skin- I moisturise before I apply this and again after removing and my skin seems to be fine (I have pretty normal skin). I have noticed with some other foundations that the colour oxidises and turns a bit orange looking by the end of the day, this has never happened with this foundation. I don't feel that the fragrance is to strong, in fact I really like it. I cannot fault this foundation at all- give it a go for great coverage and a perfect finish.

So firstly I'll say this foundation says its matte finish.... but its more of a satin finish... but its sooo sooo perfect. I find some matte's to just make fine lines stick out more, or can turn flaky.

This foundation is so diverse, I have tried it in so many ways and it always looks flawless. If your running out of time getting ready, you can just whip on a thin layer, no primer, no setting, and it looks great. Although if you want a more full coverage, with primer, and powder after just give it that little edge. No matter what it still lasts all day and does not settle into fine lines

I use this with a flat kabuki foundation brush, but it is equally good with a blending sponge or fingers.

The formula is quite thick, kinda like estee lauder double wear. But when it is on, your skin still breathes nicely.

I purchased this foundation after seeing numerous beauty bloggers raving about it on YouTube and Instagram. I was a little hesitant about the price but everyone is obsessed with this stuff so it must be good, right?

I got colour matched at the pharmacy and to be honest, I don't think I was given the right shade which may influence my opinion a little bit..

This foundation is heavily perfumed which I don't mind but may be offputting for some people. I do really like the finish and it doesn't oxidise or go oily throughout the day which is a plus in my book! I did notice the first few times I used it that it sank into my pores but I've since tried it with a different primer and I no longer have that problem.

I will continue to try out this foundation but I may have to go back and get the right colourto be fully satisfied.

I have been buying this foundation in the 001 shade for the past year. I wanted to try it after watching a few beauty bloggers rave about it. I love the packaging, I prefer glass bottles and this one is frosted and has a good pump that lets you pump out the amount of product you need. The price is a bit over the top but I am prepared to pay more if the product is worth and I have to say that when I first starting using it I was sure it wasn’t worth it. I have early 30’s skin that is prone to fine lines and dryness and I just found that it sunk into my fine lines and stuck to the dry skin. The wear wasn’t great either even after using a good primer. I was determined to make my purchase work for me and after a bit of experimenting It has become my holy grail foundation. I now know to use double the moisturiser, a moisturising primer (I use the hangover primer by too faced) and I mix the tiniest bit of rosehip oil in with the foundation. The result is a long lasting foundation with a glory finish that doesn’t settle into my wrinkles or accentuate my dry skin. In saying that, if I could find a foundation that provided all of this for me without those extra steps I would switch.

This is my go-to foundation. I've tried other supermarket and high-end brands but none have lived up to this one. A little goes a long way! It has brilliant coverage while not looking cakey. It lasts all day regardless of how sweaty my face gets - it just will not move. You can use it with or without a primer, personally I use a colour corrector underneath. I prefer a matte look so I use a press powder ontop. One good thing is that when using a brush, it doesn't leave streaky marks! Totally worth the price tag.

My friend has been recommending this to me for so long and I finally took her advice and got colour matched. This is now my absolute favorite foundation!! I have oily to normal skin and It sits so nicely all day!! It blends seamlessly and is really buildable for when I'm after something a bit heavier. You really dont need to use much either, a pump is more than enough for a decent coverage for work. The bottle is so nice, the pump dispenses the perfect amount and its so lightweight too!! The biggest bonus is it doesn't clog my pores and make me break out!!! Definitely recommend!!!
