Lancome Teint Idole Foundation

Advantages: Full coverage, doesn't dry out my skin, don't need to retouch throughout the day
Disadvantages: Pricey and comes in the form of a pump [not my personal preference]

...the lovely girl at the Lancome counter went to so much trouble telling me how to apply it, where to, asking about my skin etc, I didn't have the heart to say "I'll think about it" and then leave. So I walked out of boots £43.50 poorer and with foundation, powder and a free gift. It is available in 8 shades: 01 Beige albatre 010 Porcelaine 02 Lys Rose 022 Beige Rose 03 Beige Diaphane 035 Beige Dore 04 Beige Nature 05 Cognac However at the ...
...you. As usual I race home to remove my current make up and apply my new one. The Packaging: It comes in a pretty silver box with black writing and a rose on and the shade number/name on the top and bottom. The Bottle: The bottle is a glass one as pictured with a black top and writing down the front. No where on the bottle does it say the shade however on the back the shade number is printed on. (e.g. it may say 010 which is porcelain) The bottle ... Read review

Advantages: Lasts a long time, doesn't dry your skin out too much, quite light.
Disadvantages: Coverage not the best.

...for a similar price. Lancome Teint Idole cost me £22 off the Boots website. I chose it as it told me it was 'retouch free', 'comfort make-up' with a great coverage. It was also the only expensive foundation I could find that was actually a liquid. It arrived a few days later in a posh little box and on taking out the 30ml bottle, it certainly looked impressive in its thick glass container and black lid. It has a little pump, which is popular nowadays, ...
...recently have been using the Lancome in the day and the Estee Lauder by night. It has great durability - once it's on, it doesn't budge. And for a 30ml bottle, it goes a long way - you don't need that much each use and so far my bottle has lasted a couple of months and it's probably just starting to run out. It's not bad value for money, but in my reckoning it should maybe be a few pounds cheaper. The bottle says its 14hour touch-free, which is ... Read review

Advantages: stays on well
Disadvantages: I found it too dry

This is a nice product. I decided to give it a try after reading the reviews on it and found that they were all good. At this point I was wearing a cheaper chemist bought foundation that was not giving a very good coverage. I went to the counter and the assistant assessed my skin and gave me a complete makeover and advice on what best moisturiser etc to use with the foundation. On trying out the foundation I found that although it does give a good ...
...if you do not blend it in immediately it can end up a bit patchy. Having said this, I do suffer from a dry patches of skin which may react badly with some foundations. Once you get it right, the cover is good and it is long lasting. However, I would not recommend it for those with very dry skins. I do not think I would buy this foundation again as it does not really suit my skin, but would agree with other reviews that it is a good quality product. ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent coverage
Disadvantages: Fairly pricey

...light enough tone, I found Lancome Teint Idole. All the feedback I had read about it was very positive so I decided to try it out. I went to Boots to get it, where I got to try it on before buying it. I instantly saw I liked it and it was exactly what I was looking for. The foundation fluid being of a slightly thicker texture giving my skin a smooth and even finish, with an excellent coverage. I have tried out several foundations since my discovery ...
...it. It also lasts for quite a long time making it worth the money. *With this foundation you have to work fast as it dries instantly. Make sure you use moisturizer before applying the foundation, if not, the result might end up patchy. It suits most skin types, but with dry skin you should mix it with some moisturizer. ...
