The Lancome Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation is designed to be a dependable staple for daily wear or special occasions where longevity is key. For everyday use, a single thin layer, blended thoroughly, can provide a natural-looking, even finish. Start by applying a small amount to the center of your face and blend outwards using a foundation brush or damp beauty sponge. For special events or when you require more coverage, the formula is buildable. Apply a second thin layer to areas needing more attention, gently patting and blending, rather than rubbing, to maintain the 'Ultra Wear' benefits without cakiness. This foundation performs well under various conditions, maintaining its integrity throughout the day, which makes it ideal for long workdays or events. Always ensure your skin is clean and moisturized before application for the best adherence and finish.
Prepare Skin: Begin with a clean, moisturized face. For extended wear, consider applying a primer suitable for your skin type.
Shake Well: Before each use, gently shake the bottle to ensure the formula is well-mixed.
Dispense Product: Pump a small amount onto the back of your hand, a mixing palette, or directly onto your application tool.

Setting Powders/Sprays: Can be set with a translucent powder for a matte finish and extended wear, or a setting spray to lock in the look.
