Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation Review

Lately I have been getting a lot of questions and compliments about my skin! I have to thank Lancome's foundation for the illusion of even skin colour, my good diet and sleeping habits for no breakouts.


Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation in Buff W

I've heard a lot about this foundation in the past being some famous YouTube guru's HG but I've never had a chance to try it out until now. I ALWAYS thought that the drug store ones are good enough, but after this, I have completely changed my mind!


Before 

This is me before any makeup! It's a miserable and humid day (rainy for the rest of the week! Sandy go away!!) that we had to run some chores so it's a good indication on how well it will withstand rain.


After foundation


With complete makeup

As the weather turns cooler, I have not been setting my foundation with powder. Sometimes I do set it when it comes to tinted moisturizer or BB creams, but with this foundation, it is not required!


Close up

So we were running chores and it was very wet outside, hence I didn't get to take any pictures.


After 9 hours of wear

After a whole day of wear my makeup was still perfectly intact. I love how my skin looks in pictures <3. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this foundation if you are in a lookout for something new!

p/s: WINNER for the giveaway has been revealed on Twitter! Please check your DM so that I can mail it out as soon as possible.

YSL Teint Resist Long Wear Foundation Review


YSL Teint Resist Long Wear Foundation

I don't usually go for a high end foundation if it's not required. I understand that some people think that more $$ means better quality, but in my opinion, I give everything a fair chance and it's safe to say that  drugstore brands have outperform the expensive brands over the years.

YSL recently came out with another foundation, the Touche Eclat but I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. If you would wish me to compare the 2 foundations please leave a comment down below! :D


Bare face

As usual, I'm showing you the bare face! hahaha. Lately I have not been  much outside so I believe I have lost some of the tan that I gained during the summer. Toronto is also getting very cold now (ugh! hate it!) so I am staying indoors as much as I can.


After

I applied the fondation with my trusty Sigma F80 Flat top brush. I reallllly need to get a new one! That brush is my fav and always give me a perfect finish!


Close up

I went along to put on the rest of my makeup. I did not set this foundation with any powders or setting sprays.


3 hours later

Excuse me with the bad hair. My fringe is growing at this weird length that it keeps falling on my face so I have to pin it back. I went out around Bloor st and my makeup stayed intact for that 3 hours.


7 hours later (with flash)

We met up with our friends and went to Hapa Izakaya for dinner. My makeup still looks very fresh even though it has been 7 hours. No signs of blush sliding down my cheeks or eyeshadow going under the eyes. 


Check out my lashes!!!! I'm only using the new Givenchy mascara!

Pros:
  • Light weight
  • Medium coverage
  • Long lasting (May differ slightly if humidity and temperature is HIGH outside)
  • Great colour selection
Cons:
  • I honestly can't think of any! 
Thank you for reading and see you soon!
