The Lancome Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation is engineered for dependable performance in various settings, from daily wear to special occasions. Its formula provides a natural yet refined look that holds up against environmental factors.
Application Steps:
Prepare Your Skin: Start with a clean, moisturized, and primed face. This creates a smooth canvas and helps the foundation adhere better.
Dispense Product: Shake the bottle gently. Dispense a small amount (one pump for medium coverage) onto the back of your hand, a makeup palette, or directly onto your chosen applicator.
Apply to Face:
For Lighter Coverage: Use a damp beauty sponge or your fingertips. Dab small dots on your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin, then blend outwards.
For Medium to Full Coverage: Use a dense foundation brush. Start by applying a small amount to the center of your face and blend outwards in small, buffing motions. Add more product in thin layers to build coverage where needed, such as over blemishes or redness.
Blend Thoroughly: Ensure seamless blending, especially around the jawline, hairline, and ears, to avoid harsh lines.
Set (Optional): For extended wear or an extra matte finish, lightly dust a setting powder over your T-zone or entire face.
Real-World Use:
Everyday Flawless Look: Apply a single layer for an even skin tone that still looks natural for work or casual outings.
Special Events: Build up coverage in areas needing more attention for a perfected, camera-ready finish that lasts through long events.
Controlling Shine: Users with combination or oily skin will appreciate its ability to minimize excess shine without feeling heavy.
Comfortable All Day: Experience the foundation's comfortable feel, allowing your skin to breathe even during prolonged wear.
Skin Preparation: Before applying, ensure your skin is clean, toned, and moisturized. Using a primer can further enhance wear time and smooth skin texture.
Shade Verification: Before first full application, test a small amount on your jawline in natural light to confirm shade 220C matches your skin tone.
First Use: If the pump is new, prime it by pressing it a few times until the product dispenses consistently.
Skin Types: This foundation is suitable for all skin types, including normal, combination, oily, and dry. For very dry skin, ensure thorough moisturization beforehand.
Other Products: Compatible with most primers, concealers, and setting powders. For best results, consider using other Lancome Teint Idôle range products.
Storage: Store the foundation in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use.
Hygiene: Avoid direct contact of the pump with your skin to prevent bacterial contamination. Dispense onto a clean palette, the back of your hand, or a clean applicator.
Cleaning Applicators: Regularly clean your foundation brushes and sponges to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth, which can affect application and skin health.
Shelf Life: Check the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, usually indicated by an open jar icon with a number (e.g., 12M for 12 months), and discard after this period.
