Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear Reviews

I bought this wee guy a few weeks ago after experiencing some truly awful customer service at the Estee Lauder counter - I thought nope you will not get my sales lady! So I popped around the corner to the Lancome counter where I was helped by a gorgeous lovely sales lady who suggested this foundation - and I have been wearing it every day since! It lasts so well n my combination skin, and the delicious perfumy fragrance is just to die for! The coverage is perfect, not too lights and not heavy at all! I have been reaching for this far more often than my Studio Fix (which is a miracle in itself!) Actually I love how this foundation sits when set with Studio fix powder! A match made in heaven!

Oh my sweet goodness. This foundation has changed my life. I was use to having disgustingly oily skin that wouldn't hold foundation, reapplying every 45 minutes and a blotchy nose from worn off foundation. It made wearing foundation a chore! Then the most lovely counter lady from my local life pharmacy suggested Lancomes Teint Idole Ultra 24h, and it has made me a new woman! My skin looks and feels flawless all of the time, I don't look cakey or orange. My skin holds the foundation a lot better, my nose ALWAYS has foundation on it, and although I still do get a wee bit shiny it's nothing that a bit of blotting can't fix. This is the perfect foundation for my skin and thank you Pip (counter girl) for the fabulous suggestion!

So I have tried a lot of different foundations and never really feel in love with one so kept playing the foundation field. But I finally tried the Lancôme teint idole ultra 24h after a recommendation by a friend. I got colour matched at the Lancôme counter and I have never looked back. The best foundation ever. Feels great and light weight on my skin whilst evening out my skin tone. I have a oily t zone which is kept at bay. Blends well and the foundation lasts all day.

Yes it's a bit pricey ..... but it's worth every penny.

The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24h foundation is my favourite foundation. It smells gorgeous and it covers little red spots perfectly. Luckily it does not cover my freckles in summer, so I still look natural. I think it is quite pricey but it does everything I expect.

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.

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.
