But Care & Glow does give an exemplary level of high-wattage luminosity – it’s the sort of glow level where I personally feel I don’t need a highlighter.

Interestingly, I prefer the feeling of the high coverage Idole on my skin to the Care & Glow. White for the lighter coverage Care & Glow* and black for the higher coverage Idole*. It’s incredibly confusing and I wish that Care & Glow was just a totally different product line, in a way – it’s less coverage, more dew – but you can easily tell the two foundations apart by looking at the lids. This newly reformulated Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear is not to be confused with the new Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow. I personally welcome the additional plumptiousness because I still get the same coverage but now it feels even more comfortable and flexible on the skin.

It’s the same marvellous foundation, plus a (very) slightly more hydrating feel. I really don’t think that many (if any) Teint Idole users will be disappointed with the new version. My new face side is juicier and more springy to the touch but with the same amount of coverage on the skin. I was sceptical beyond all polite reason about the hydrating skincare element of the relaunched formula but it’s there. The other side doesn’t feel dry, as such, it just feels…normal. And do you know what? You can actually feel the difference.Īfter a week of daily testing, with the old formula on one half of my face and the new formula on the other (how I suffer for my art) I can categorically tell you that the new side of my face feels continuously hydrated throughout the day. Lancome have taken their Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation and made it just as comprehensive in coverage, just as cushiony to apply and just as long in wear-time, and they’ve somehow added a load of skincare ingredients into the mix along the way. What would Lancome tweak? What aspect of the original formula would us diehard fans sob over? How could Lancome improve upon perfection and a face base that had been around – successfully – for decades? And so: my nervousness over the reformulation.

It was cushiony, it didn’t settle into lines, it moved with your skin…if ever there was a full coverage foundation for grown-ups then this was it. Contains press samples sent with no obligation to review and affiliate links, marked *Īnd the feel! Oh the feel of the thing. And it had a subtle glow, an expensive luminescence, yet the finish was velvety-matte. It looked flexible, comfortable, slightly juicy, but also gave that perfect, flawless, airbrushed sort of finish that completely removes redness, dark circles, areas of pigmentation. The original Teint Idole covered every blemish and imperfection – no concealer needed – but it somehow managed to not obliterate all of the life from your skin at the same time. And I say epic with not even a hint of irony because it was just that: very few high coverage, ultra longwear foundations came close to it in terms of the quality of finish, ease of application, shade range and longevity. She adds, "I find these brands to be, overall, super-inclusive - not just for my skin tone, but also for people who are darker than I am and way lighter than me as well.I was slightly nervous about the fact that the epic Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation had been reformulated. We asked her to share what exactly those foundation wins are, and she delivered recommendations for seven foundations that she finds are best for medium skin tones.

Taking this into account, whenever she finds a foundation that looks natural and matches her skin tone, she thinks of it as a win. "They're too yellow to the point where you almost start to look green and a little sick," Moorjani adds.

"Most foundations on the market are too pink," Moorjani tells Allure, "so when I apply them, they make me look very gray." Others often overcorrect the problem by adding too much yellow pigment for the shades offered to medium skin tones.

For Arshia Moorjani, an Indian-American beauty expert, it's still a struggle to find a foundation hue that matches her skin tone, which she considers to be towards the medium-dark end of the spectrum. Foundation shade ranges may be (thankfully, finally) becoming far more wider, but the variety of undertones aren't always taken into account - especially for those with golden undertones.
