What the gurus are saying

This foundation doesn't settle into lines or pores, even when layered to full coverage and worn for the entire day (the standout both reviewers praise). The lightweight gel formula has a smooth, cooling feel that layers beautifully through any coverage level, though anyone with very oily skin may need something more mattifying, and fragrance-sensitive skin should know the clean-laundry scent is noticeable.

"The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation is my perfect foundation in every aspect. It feels like nothing on the skin, is easily buildable to full coverage, but never makes the face look flat or lifeless and stays put the whole day even without relying on a primer or setting spray. One thin layer evens out the skin and looks as if I am barely wearing anything. Two thin layers are enough to cover redness and pigmentation, and I can get it to full coverage with a third layer, which still layers well and stays comfortable to wear throughout the day. Ten hours later it still hadn't settled into my lines or pores and my face still looked more even than before, so I am more than happy with the results. Could it take the shine down a little more? Yes, but I forgive that minor flaw as it never settles into my lines and pores, something most mattifying foundations do, and it is hydrating enough to not cling to dry patches, but not that hydrating that it would slide off in the heat of summer. If your skin is very oily, you might want to try something more mattifying, but for everyone else it should work very well."

"I was not impressed with the formulation of this product. It didn't last that long at all. It had zero lasting power and there's no way I can sleep in it and wake up and carry on throughout the day. Basically, it didn't last 24 hours."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
