Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Long Wear Reviews

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.

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.

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.

... 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.

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.

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.

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!
