Hi,
I'm a new member. Have been lurking for some months thanks to those brilliant ipsy forums but I have a serious question today. I just got a sample of the Lancome teint idole ultra 24h and absolutely love the natural looking finish. I do wear foundation regularly since I have discoloration and some acne scars. My current foundations are all drugstore and one high end (lise watier). I alternate these based on how dark/light my skin is and how the foundation is reacting to my skin on a regular basis However I have to use foundation for me to be able to go outside with confidence because I hate the light acne scars i have.
I hate the obvious foundation look that you get from drugstore even though I only use one layer each time. My skin keeps going in a cycle of dry to oily based on seasons. Of course in the summer I'm more tan (think NC 35-37).
Foundations I currently own:
Neutrogena Healthy Skin - 60
Loreal True Match - W6
Revlon Colorstay Cmb/Oily - Natural Tan 370
Lise Watier 12 H Glam - Naturel
Revlon Photoready - Medium Beige
When I tried the lancome I was shocked at how natural it looked even though it covered my imperfections completely. I have never dished out so much money for a high end foundation though ($50 CAD) and was thinking that if I would buy this then I should shop around with high end ones before committing to one. I've looked at countless reviews of diorskin nude and teint miracle and teint ultra but was wondering if someone could recommend top foundations that are just as, if not better than the teint idole.
So those of you who have purchased foundations at this price point or have tried the idole, which brand/formula would you recommed? I am really interested in dior, lancome, chanel and do not think i would like MUFE or MAC.
My skin type:
Combo/Oily - for some reason my forehead never stays oil free -.- rest of face is pretty normal.
Light tan/tan
blemish prone
Thanks for reading my long explanations
