Where I got it: I got this from my local Lancôme counter for $70.00. They were doing a gift with purchase offer where you buy two or more items one being a foundation or a skincare. I got this along with their latest launch Custom Glow Drop.
What I got: This is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Stick Foundation in 03 Beige Diaphane. The foundation’s innovative extreme long-wear formula gives all skin tones a flawless, complexion-perfecting coverage. Its ultra-lightweight powder-crème texture blends smoothly for a traceless, second-skin result. Made with porous polymers that absorb excess oils, it leaves the skin looking flawless and shine-free. This formula is transfer-resistant and smudge-resistant, so the colour-true coverage stays on all day long. Suitable for all skin type, even sensitive skin. This pigment-rich makeup stick is infinitely versatile— with ample coverage to use as a concealer, an even glide for custom contouring, and perfect portability to take with you on the go, it goes beyond your average foundation.
All day colour wear. All day comfort. oil-free, fragrance-free, transfer-resistant, smudge-resistant. Non-comedogenic. Tested under dermatological conditions. For all skin types, suitable for sensitive skin. SPF15 sunscreen. Its 20 shades were developed based on real skin tones so that everyone can find the perfect match.

How I find it: I always apply sunscreen or a primer with SPF under this foundation. I like to use a pore-refining or blurring primer. I then swipe the stick across my face and then blend with a paddle brush. The formula glides on effortlessly and ever so smoothly onto the skin without skipping or depositing too much product. I would use a paddle brush to keep the coverage or use a damp beauty sponge to sheer it out. I hardly need to powder to set the foundation.

Overall: The shade match is actually very good as I was matched at the counter. She tried out shade 02 and 03 on me and I thought shade 02 was a little bit pink on me and a little bit pale. The formula blended out easily and was not streaky. I would add a few more swipes around my cheeks to cover my acne scars if I need. I love the formula and I love the finish, but if it was a little bit more product or cheaper, it would easily be my holy grail full coverage foundation. $70 for 9g of foundation is a little expensive for me. I would definitely take this to travel because it is so convenient and I could easily blend it out with my fingers if I need some touch-up.
