98% OF CHICKS DIG IT
I was a bit hesitant about this product at first. The packaging is really nice, but the product seemed a bit slick.
When I used it, it transferred fantastically and was really easy to blend!
The colour remained all day! I will absolutely be buying this!
I got this product for free to review (Product Review Club).
I tried this foundation stick for 2 days before writing a review. I got the 250 Bisque (W) as a highlighter. It was almost close to my skin tone so the results of me using it as a highlighter was not as visible as I wanted it to be. I have use highlighting powder in the past and I would say that this foundation stick is much better. The application is so smooth and a little creamy. It blends really well. I have large pores and it filled up my pores nicely and not cakey at all. I always have problems by my cheek area. Any foundation or concealer I use no matter what primer I have on first, still gets cakey and creasy. This foundation blended nicely and gave me a nice coverage. I use a damp blending sponge and also used an angled liquid foundation brush and they both worked really well. I like using it now to highlight my brows.
I would say it is a light to medium coverage but very buildable til you achieve full coverage you wanted. It also blended nicely with the finishing powder I was using. I love that it is oil free and has a matte finish. It is not a very matte finish. I'd say it's in between dewy and matte.. but like 70% matte just enough glow that it makes the finish looks really nice.
The SPF is an added bonus! I should say too that it is not transfer proof or smudge proof.. it is TRANSFER and SMUDGE resistant.. meaning there will still be minimal transfer and it will still budge.
It is very light weight. I don't even feel like I was wearing makeup. I will continue to use this and would probably get the shade closest to my skin tone as my base foundation and get a dark one for contouring once my contour cream is done. I love how small it is and you can just take anywhere with you. My makeup on day 1 trying this product lasted for a good 9 hours til I have to remove it. My work involves running around and cleaning and my makeup was still on til I got home.
I guess it all depends on your skin type. This will probably not be good for oily skin. Oh yeah, it wasn't cakey at all on my dry spots and covered it up pretty well. I like how easy it is to use this product and just glides on my skin.
The price may be a bit in a higher range but I think it's worth it. :)
Thank you again ChickAdvisor for the nice opportunity.
Thank you Chickadvisor for the fabulous opportunity to test out the new Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Makeup Foundation Stick. I received No. 460 Suede in my perfect contour shade.
The Teint Idol Makeup Stick was my first time using a cream contour product as opposed to my normal powders. It was very easy to use and blended evenly. It really gave a nice soft but matte finish and it had great staying power throughout the day. It felt very light on my skin and not "cakey" at all. The stick format of this product is fabulous for contouring because you can apply your contour precisely where you want it, blend and done! Oh ~ added bonus it contains SPF too!
I was surprised at how well this worked for me. As a darker skinned girl, it's hard to find a colour that's matches my skin but this one matches to a T. I love how creamy it is, for a stick foundation it applies very well on the skin. It leaves a nice natural finish to the face. I have combo skin that tends to get really oily in the T zone. There was a bit of shine at the end of the day, but that is normal. It doesn't feel thick or heavy, it has good coverage and its not sticky on the face.
I received this product free to try.
I was weary about using a foundation stick, they are either too drying or too greasy, but this one was perfect for my combo skin! It was lightweight and didn't settle into my fine lines and at the same time didn't make me oily throughout the day. I loved how build-able it was and how it lasted all day. I also was impressed with the shade selection and how well this matched my olive skin.
I received this free for review
How was your experience with the product based on the on the advertised benefits? (e.g. lightweight powder-creme formula, oil free, transfer and smudge resistant, etc.)
-this product dried to a perfect powder and was easy to apply an appropriate amount. No wasting
How would you compare this product to other foundation sticks that you've tried in the past?
-I havent actually used many in the past but this is by far the best with the silky powdery finish
Would you purchase this product again and/or recommend it to a friend?
-it is more expensive but I know it is now worth it and would definitely consider buying it again. I would also definitely recommend it
I have always been skeptical of stick foundations. I think this stems from my teenage years of using Cover Girl stick foundations that were sooo dry! Let me tell you, I am a new convert!
I received this product as a free trial from Chickadvisor, and I am SO glad I did. The foundation matched my skin perfectly. It was smooth and creamy, and went on like a dream. I drew it on my face just like in the video, and use Morphe 439 to smooth it out over my skin. I blended beautifully, and did not pick up on any dry spots like I thought it might.
I normally spend $52 for my MUF Ultra HD foundation, so spending an extra $1 to buy this Lancome isn't a big deal. I love that it has the most shades at Sephora too, which is where I shop for beauty products. The only test will be to see how long this lasts. I'm not sure it will last as long as my usual liquid.
Oops! The only thing I forgot was that the packging is majorly cheap! It does not feel like a product you spent $53 on at all. Even Cover Girl has better feeling products.
#LancomeTIUstick #gotitforfree This is an amazing product! Love the stick application!! It blends nice, easy to carry in a purse or anything like that because of the compact size. The product itself was an amazing shade, and it lasted all day; even through sweating, it lasted! I liked the idea that it could be used as a foundation, high lighter or bronzer depending on shade. I used this product as a fondation. Will buy again!
Wow im very impressed with the product. i choose the right shade for me. When you apply it on your face it blend smoothly. At the application you can feel that is a high end product.Lancomes Teint Idole Ultra Foundation Stick packaging is very sophisticated.
Lancomes Teint Idole Ultra Foundation Stick is sophisticatedly presented in a gold and black applicator. It glides on effortlessly and leaves skin rose petal smooth to the touch. I am impressed.
