The Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation 405W is engineered for high performance in daily life, providing lasting full coverage while simultaneously caring for your skin. Its 24-hour wear means your complexion stays perfected from morning to night, resisting transfer and fading through various activities.
Thanks to AIRWEAR TM TECHNOLOGY, this foundation defies the typical heaviness of full-coverage products. It feels remarkably light and breathable, allowing your skin to feel comfortable and 'unmasked' throughout the day. This is particularly beneficial for those who require significant coverage but dislike the sensation of product on their skin.
The inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid and 81% Skincare Serum means your skin benefits beyond just aesthetics. Expect improved hydration instantly and over time, contributing to a healthier-looking complexion. Vitamin E and Moringa act as a shield, protecting your skin barrier from common urban aggressors like pollution, which can be particularly useful in city environments.
This foundation covers imperfections seamlessly without clogging pores or causing dryness, making it a reliable choice for those with acne-prone, oily, sensitive, or dry skin. For best results, apply a small amount to the center of your face and blend outwards using a foundation brush, sponge, or clean fingertips. Build up coverage in areas that need it, and remember that a little goes a long way with a full-coverage formula. Its specialized pigments ensure a natural-looking finish, especially for individuals with olive to darker skin tones, helping to avoid a chalky or ashy appearance.
Prepare Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. For extended wear or specific concerns (e.g., oil control, pore-blurring), apply a primer.
Dispense Product: Pump a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto your applicator.
Apply to Face: Begin by dabbing small dots of foundation on your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin.
Blend Thoroughly: Using a foundation brush, makeup sponge (damp for a more natural finish), or clean fingertips, blend the foundation outwards from the center of your face. Ensure seamless blending along the jawline and into the neck to avoid harsh lines.
Build Coverage (Optional): For areas requiring more coverage, apply an additional thin layer by gently tapping the product onto those spots.
Set (Optional): For very oily skin or humid conditions, lightly set with a translucent powder.
This foundation is uniquely formulated to be compatible with all skin types, including:
Dry Skin: Thanks to Hyaluronic Acid and 81% Skincare Serum, it helps maintain hydration.
Sensitive Skin: Its non-masking, non-drying, non-clogging formula is designed to be gentle.
Oily Skin: Provides full coverage without clogging pores, helping to control shine with proper priming and setting.
Acne-Prone Skin: Formulated to cover imperfections without exacerbating breakouts.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its consistency and efficacy.
Seal Properly: Always ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the product from drying out or becoming contaminated.
Hygiene: Avoid touching the pump directly with unwashed hands to prevent bacterial transfer. Clean your application tools (brushes, sponges) regularly to ensure hygienic application and optimal product performance.
