Finally sampled the Lancome Teinte Idole Foundation in 470 C. I like it ALOT. Lasted pretty much all day long. Oiled up in my t zone but nothing i mean nothing can stand up to my oil production levels. Lol.

Forgive the lack of eye makeup. Suffering from terrible eye allergies lately. So no liner or mascara for a while.

Here's another trial of Teinte Idole Foundation in 470. I used MOM on my forehead and nose bc nothing prevents shine in my t zone. I mean NOTHING!!! Here's a freshly done face and about 11 hrs later side by side. Lighting slightly different bc I'm in 2 different bathrooms lol.

I'm back with another trial of Lancome Teinte Idole. This shade is what the sephora SA thought would match me but I knew it wouldn't since I had 470C on my face and it was perfect. But she insisted so I took the sample. 500 W.

You can't tell due to lighting but it's super dark and red on me. Wearing it for the day nonetheless.

I can tell, as someone who has people push this stuff that is too dark and red on me (this was the first shade that was suggested to me in this foundation. Wrong. Wrong.). Especially seeing the 470C match. It was spot on. You know you can minimize it by keeping the oil at bay for the day.

with 4 foundations that I know work great for me. So this is the most expensive foundation I've ever tried (will NOT be purchasing). It's Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long lasting foundation in Ambre 114. It's a great match for me. I think it's spot on actually. I really like it a lot. It goes on great and actually feels powdery when applying. Never felt a liquid foundation apply like that before. It gave me a dewy but still matte finish and lasted a decent amount of time before my oils kicked into high gear. Lol. If it wasn't $50+ nearly $60 I'd probably get it. But for nearly $60 it should last me for 2 days without oiling up. Lol lol. So enough rambling I'm not a YouTuber lol. Here she goes.

@Angel007 - I hope your allergies clear up soon. Does anyone in the NC50-ish range have a rec for a matte coral lip shade? I am dying for one. I mean CORAL...not orange, not pink. CORAL. Having the hardest time.

This looks good on you! I have a sample of PL in 114 Ambre and love it too. It is a spot on match for me as well. But that price tag though?! I might bite the bullet during one of Nordstrom's extra point days. Thanks for doing all of the work of getting foundation samples, taking pics and providing feedback.

My blot powder gets no love lately thanks to my new fave foundations CG Queen Colllection All Day Flawless, Lancome Teinte Idole and Estée Lauder Double Wear . Still need it for Matchmaster tho . Can't leave MAC alone. Lol. It's brain washing. Lol.

I have this foundation in Mink, but I'm a darker NC50 who can almost go to a NW45 ( I just have really strong yellow undertones). But, this foundation looks kind of gray on me. When I use this foundation it looks grayish color on me. The coverage isn't that great either, to be honest. I think that the MUFE Pro Powder is much better because the coverage is much more buildable, and for people with strong yellow undertones the color match is better.
@RaizinnthaSun What shade do you wear in the MUFE Pro Powder?

Hi everyone!
I have been having trouble with things suddenly oxidizing on my oily NC 50 skin this summer & was looking for a blush/ bronzer that would not.
Everything was interacting with my serious yellow undertones & oily skin by turning my blushes & bronzers very red or orangey on me.
Both the on line SA & the counter SA suggested that I try Harmony for a change. I resisted because I really did not think it would show on my skin.
Shock of all Shocks it showed and its very pretty too! It looked very nice with all my nude lipsticks & the new Rhianna lipstick as well. I do not recall seeing Harmony
on anyone`s list but it is now a favorite daily go to. Blunt, format & gingerly are taking a break along with Guerlain #7. Give Harmony a try if you have not already
