Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation - Lancome - 220C

The Lancome Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Foundation offers buildable coverage, meaning you can apply a sheer layer for a natural look or layer it for medium to full coverage to conceal imperfections.

Shade 220C is typically for lighter skin tones with a cool undertone. For best results, we recommend testing a small amount on your jawline in natural light to ensure it blends seamlessly with your skin.

Yes, this foundation is formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including oily skin. Its long-wearing properties can help control shine throughout the day. For enhanced oil control, pair with a mattifying primer and setting powder.

The 'Ultra Wear' designation indicates it's designed for long-lasting wear, often up to 24 hours. Actual wear time can vary based on skin type, activity level, and environmental conditions.

You can apply it with a damp beauty sponge for a more sheer, natural finish, or with a dense foundation brush for higher coverage and a more perfected look. Fingertips can also be used for quick application and blending.

Formulations are generally designed to resist oxidation. However, individual skin chemistry and environmental factors can sometimes cause slight changes. Always test the shade on your skin and observe it for a short period to confirm.

Start with one pump for a medium coverage look. For more coverage, apply additional thin layers as needed. Less is often more to avoid a cakey appearance.

Ensure your skin is well-prepped (cleansed, moisturized, primed). Apply foundation in thin layers and blend thoroughly with a damp sponge or buffing brush. Avoid applying too much product at once.

Use less product; start with a small amount and build coverage gradually. Blend meticulously. Ensure your skin is hydrated, as dry patches can make foundation cling and look heavy.

Proper skin preparation (cleansing, moisturizing, primer) is key. Consider using a setting powder or setting spray after application to lock it in place, especially in humid conditions or for oily skin types.

Verify the shade in natural light after applying a small test patch to your jawline. Different lighting can alter how foundation appears. If it's consistently off, you might need a different shade or undertone (e.g., 'W' for warm, 'N' for neutral, 'C' for cool).

If it's the first use, prime the pump by pressing it several times until the product starts flowing. If it's not new, ensure there's enough product left in the bottle and check for any dried product clogging the nozzle. Clean the nozzle gently if needed.
