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.

Tips: Go to a Lancome counter and get a tester, just because it has such a cult following it might still not work for you.
I desperately wanted to love this foundation, so much that I went out and purchased two other colours in the hopes that I would find the perfect match.
Unfortunately for me no matter how I primed my skin, or set it the foundation would oxidise by the end of the day and leave me with very obvious foundation lines.
I can say though that while it’s not my match, it did provide great coverage and lasted well throughout the day. Even my glasses stuggled to remove it off the bridge of my nose. As other users have commented it does have quite a sweet smell but don’t let that put you off. Would highly recommend it and will certainly reconsider it if they bring out more colours.
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.
Tips: If you suffer from dry skin, moisture a heap first, use a moisturising primer and mix a tiny bit of rosehip oil into the foundation before you apply.
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 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 am addicted to this foundation and the flawless finish. It's so easy to apply and no mess with the pump and you are not wasting any as a little at a time. I have few capillaries I don't like and they are now covered for flawless complexion. Lovely fragrance and non greasy. And the foundation goes a looooong way. Highly recommend you pop in to a pharmacy and give it a go. You won't look back.
Tips: I always have apply a good tinted moisturiser first as I don't always cover my entire face. Depends on the day. And the foundation has SPF15 too.
This had been at the bottom of my makeup bag for a couple of years and I recently just rediscovered it. This foundation has a slightly yellow undertone to it, probably why it has sat at the bottom of my bag.... However I have found that throughout summer, with a slight tan, it is a perfect colour for my skin tone! I find that it hides my purple blemish scarring extremely well. It stays all day and is oil free so does not look all greasy by the end of the day. I have hardly had to touch this one up, unlike the double wear which slipped all over the place!
I tried many foundations before setting down with this one. It's easy to apply, looks great, SMELLS great and holds up against the heat. I wear foundation during the day and work in a job where it gets hot a lot so need good coverage not only over the scars on my face but needs to stand up to a bit of heat sweat from time to time. This foundation does all that!!
Tips: Buy a foundation brush to apply for easier, smoother coverage.
This is fantastic foundation. I have sensitive skin and this is just perfect for me. Its doesn't dry my skin,gives an even cover but with a natural look so you can still see my freckles. The price is alot higher than what I like to spend on foundation but the product is definitely worth it. I don't even cringe having to pay for it because I love it that much.
... 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.
