This is the first Lancome foundation I've ever tried, I'm not sure why it's taken me so long but I'm sure glad I did.
There's nothing spectacular about the packaging - just a nice clear glass bottle with a pump that is easy to use.
The first thing I noticed about the foundation is the very liquid consistency which worried me, as liquidity usually indicates a lesser coverage. I was right about this. That is my one gripe about the foundation - I don't get enough coverage using it alone but that is due to the red veins in my skin. What I found worked really well was mixing a touch of oasis BB cream in with it and that gave me the coverage I required without dulling down the effects of this beautiful foundation too much.
My skin never felt cakey or got that oily tacky feeling you can get with some other foundations and I found this foundation to wear well for about 8 hours before starting to break down.
I think after reading some other reviews I'm going to try their 24-hour foundation as that seems to have a heavier coverage without the need to add anything else.
I loved the colour and the fact it didn't oxidise. If it had a wee bit more coverage it definitely would have been 5/5 for me.
The price point is one of the higher ones but the bottle has lasted me a few months and I tend to bring foundation down my neck as well, so I'm pretty happy with that.
I am a fan of Lancôme's 24h foundation - it's really hard to beat - but this comes pretty close. It's a much lighter version so is great for everyday use and is much easier to remove.
The coverage is light to medium and lasts the day pretty well although I find if it's hot and humid it can move a bit. I also feel that it doesn't dry so good and find I have a lot of transfer onto my collars etc.
I like the scent of this foundation, very pleasant and luxurious smelling. I don't get any breakouts from this foundation when I wear it continuously for weeks at a time with little make up free days in between.
The colour shades of Lancôme match my fair skin well and always look flawless.
