I first mentioned the
Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H ($44) in my
Sephora haul about a month ago and since then I've been using it almost every day. I have the product in the shade 310 Bisque and it was color matched to my skin during the summer, so unfortunately, this probably won't work for me during the colder months. However, I'm extremely happy with the product and it's actually converted me back to foundation from tinted moisturizer.
The product comes in a frosted glass pump container with a plastic cap. The packaging is nice, it looks very pretty in my makeup collection, and I really like the fact that it has a pump. Pumps are a much more sanitary way of applying your foundation rather than constantly dipping a dirty brush into a container and having it breed bacteria.
I typically use one and a half pumps to cover my entire face and I'd say that the coverage is medium to full with a matte finish. The product itself is very creamy and I like to use the
Sephora Pro Flawless Airbrush #56 to apply it. I apply some extra product to any areas that have redness or blemishes and it definitely evens everything out.
The product says that it lasts for 24 hours but really, who wears makeup for 24 hours?! Anyways, it definitely lasts all day because I have normal to combination skin and I apply it at around 7:30 in the morning of my longest school day and get home at 9:30 at night and I still have an almost flawless look to my skin.
I would recommend this product to all skin types because it's creamy and moisturizing enough for dry skin types and mattifying enough for oily skin types. It's one of the best foundations I've ever tried and I will most likely repurchase it when I run out.
Ooh great review! So nice to hear it lasts all day!
