Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation

Did you know that Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H has a new look and name? Now available in 40 shades, Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation is well known for its long lasting wear and great coverage.

This foundation has a thick and creamy consistency, but it's surprisingly lightweight and doesn't feel greasy on the skin.

I haven't worn this product for 24 hours, but it did last all day on me (12+ hours) without separating. It doesn't make my skin oilier than usual, but it doesn't mattify it either.

260 Bisque (N) is similar to N25 and has peachy pink undertones.

320 Bisque (W) is slightly darker than NC30. It has yellow undertones.

Here's the shade 260 Bisque (N) on me :

As you can see, the color isn't a good match for my pale winter skin and the undertones are too pink for me. The shade 320 has the undertones I need, but it's way too dark. It should be a good color for me this summer though!

The Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation provides medium but buildable coverage, so you can apply a second layer for more coverage. But it emphasizes pores and looks more cakey with a second layer.

It's very similar to Estee Lauder Double Wear, both foundations are long-lasting and offer great coverage. But I definitely prefer the Lancôme foundation, as it looks a bit more natural.

Overall, it's a great long-lasting foundation! I wouldn't use it on a daily basis though, because I don't always need this level of coverage and it's less natural-looking than a light to medium coverage foundation.

Please note that I haven't received the new bottles, so I can't show you the new packaging. With that being said, the formula hasn't changed.

The Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation retails for $55 CAD for 30ml and is available at Ulta, Sephora and Lancome.ca.
