Skin Preparation: Begin with a thoroughly cleansed, well-moisturized, and ideally primed face. A smooth canvas is key for seamless application and enhanced longevity.
Product Dispensation: Dispense a small pump of foundation onto the back of your hand or a dedicated mixing palette. Remember, a little goes a long way due to its full coverage capabilities.
Application Method: Employ your preferred tool—a foundation brush, a damp beauty sponge, or clean fingertips—to apply the product. Start by dotting small amounts in the center of your face (forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks).
Blending Technique: Blend the foundation outwards from the center of your face towards the jawline and hairline. Ensure a uniform and seamless transition, avoiding harsh lines.
Building Coverage: For areas that require additional concealment, gently tap a small amount of extra product onto those specific spots rather than rubbing, then blend lightly.
Optional Setting: For extended wear, especially if you have oily skin or live in a humid climate, lightly set your foundation with a translucent powder, focusing on the T-zone.
The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation is designed for straightforward application, leading to a flawless finish. For optimal results and to maximize the foundation's wear time and appearance, proper skin preparation is key.
Detailed Application Steps:
Cleanse & Moisturize: Start by cleansing your face and applying your regular moisturizer. Allow the moisturizer to fully absorb.
Prime (Optional but Recommended): Apply your preferred face primer. Give the primer a minute or two to set on the skin before moving to foundation.
Dispense Product: Pump one or two drops of foundation onto the back of your hand, a clean palette, or directly onto your application tool.
Initial Application: Using a foundation brush, a damp beauty sponge, or clean fingertips, begin applying the foundation to the central areas of your face—forehead, nose, and chin.
Blend Outwards: Gently blend the foundation outwards towards your cheeks, jawline, and hairline, ensuring smooth, even coverage and no visible lines.
Build Coverage (If Needed): For areas requiring more coverage, gently pat a small additional amount of foundation onto those specific spots and blend softly.
Final Set: Allow the foundation a few moments to settle on the skin. For extended wear, consider setting with a light dusting of translucent powder or a setting spray.

To maintain the quality, efficacy, and hygiene of your Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation:
Storage: Always store the foundation in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, which can degrade the formula.
Prevent Contamination: Avoid allowing the pump dispenser to come into direct contact with your skin or other surfaces, as this can introduce bacteria into the product.
Observe Shelf Life: Refer to the Period After Opening (PAO) symbol, typically an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '12M' for 12 months), found on the packaging. Adhere to this guideline to ensure optimal performance and product safety, discarding after the recommended period.
