Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear Reviews

I have found that this foundation has a lovely smooth finish with just the right amount of coverage. My only complaint is that the colour that best suits my skin is not available in the NZ range as I purchased mine while on holiday in the US and they have a greater range. But that aside I love it.

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.

After long consideration I’ve decided to buy a cult foundation and I chose this lancome one, I usually use cheaper brands or bb creams and I find they do the job just right, but I wanted to know what I might be missing out on. I’ve ordered it online from a reputable site and sadly didn’t get the colour match right, however I still wanted to give it a go and see what the consistency/coverage is like and what all the fuss is about. I gotta tell you this has been one of the worst foundations I’ve ever put on my face, for me personally. It was holding onto dry spots so bad, I looked like a zombie who started to rot, the feeling of it was also paint like, very thick, wasn’t easy to spread. The coverage was all right, a medium I’d say and it didn’t oxidise at all. Scent wasn’t very pleasant. I wouldn’t recommend, I expected more of it.

... I think I must be the only person who doesn't like this foundation! I got colour matched to this at a Lancome counter when picking up skincare and was recommended Teint Idole for my oily skin.

First impression? Whoa, the smell! This is the most strongly-fragranced foundation I have ever worn. Don't get me wrong, the scent is really nice, feminine and pretty and would make a gorgeous perfume, but I just don't like that much added fragrance to my foundation. I find it really unnecessary and I hate putting overly-scented products on my face as my skin is so sensitive.

The formula has a great light-weight consistency which is neither too thick or thin. I apply it using a foundation brush and it absorbs quickly and has a medium coverage, evening out my complexion well. I had high-hopes for the longevity of this product but I think this foundation just doesn't suit me. I found that while the colour remained true to form and didn't oxidise, my skin did get that shiny look about it and my foundation began looking a little worse for wear half-way through the day.

Unfortunately this isn't the foundation for me, and for the price I think there's other options I'm more likely to recommend first but because of the other rave reviews it may be worth trying a sample first to decide for yourself.
