My Current FAVOURITE Foundation!

DISCLAIMER: The foundation featured in this post is a press sample.

Last night I posted the before and after you see above to my social media accounts with the caption ''That no makeup face though... I look about 12!! I will have a review up on the foundation I am wearing here on the blog tomorrow. CLEARLY it's a miracle worker!!'' 
Soooo without further ado I can now reveal that my current favourite foundation is... *drumroll* ... the oil free Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Cushion Foundation. In the interest of complete and utter transparency I am gonna throw in straight away that this foundation was sent out to me last September by Lancome to try and maybe review. However despite that I, as always will be 100% honest in all of my thoughts and opinions. I can safely say that over the past five months it has been given one hell of a testing.



I like this foundation for many reasons, the main one being that it is super quick to apply and gives impressive, pretty much full coverage while still looking natural and dewy. Isn't that the aim for daytime makeup really? Like, we all have our days where we make huge effort and lash on the makeup but to be honest 90% of the time I go for a more paired back and natural look. The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Cushion Foundation compact contains literally everything you need to create your makeup base. You have the product, a sponge to apply it and a mirror all housed in a durable, gold case.

I asked myself if I saw this on a Lancome counter prior to trying it would I have picked it up and do you know what I'm not actually sure I would have. The whole cushion application thing is so different than what I am used to using that it probably would have made me weary of it but I am so sooo glad I got the chance to try it out because I will definitely repurchase it now. My favourite shade is 010 Albatre. It matches my natural skintone perfectly. Generally when I use a good quality setting powder I can wear this foundation flawlessly for the day but on the rare occasion it did need topping up (maybe a wedding or a night out) you literally have everything you need right there. 

If you wish to try out the Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Cushion Foundation or yourself it will cost you €39.00 initially but then...and here is the best part...you can purchase refills for only €25.00. It is available in an incredible nine shades so there is bound to be one to suit.
