Lancome Teint Visionnaire

Way back when I went to view Lancome's Spring/Summer collection I got first eyes on a revolutionary new product but was sworn to secrecy. you have no idea how hard keeping that secret was and today I am sitting down to tell you all about. The relief is incredible!

I'm talking about the new Lancome Teint Visionnaire, which launched at Lancome counters mid February.This foundation is a game changer as it pushes the concept of perfect skin to an all-new level: the alliance of a targeted high-coverage corrector enriched with vitamin CG and a perfecting foundation with 2% concentration of [LR 2412] rather than the 4% that is in the amazing Visionnaire. Essentially this isn't your average foundation because it contains skincare too.

First blush of the product you can see that the lid is a handy little compact high coverage concealer. This concealer is brilliant for dark spots, redness and any other imperfection. I found it does need to be warmed up a bit before applying with a concealer brush, but boy does it cover any areas I target it at. 

One first swatch of the foundation, you may (like me) think there is no way, I am going to get any decent coverage out of this. All I can say is don't be fooled by the lightweight formula, this foundation is easily medium coverage when applied and you can layer it for a more full coverage look. Even though the coverage is medium to high, you won't feel like you're wearing any makeup and the over all look is so natural. I found it does a brilliant job making my skin look only gorgeous.

The shade I was sent to try is 010 and a perfect match. I find that it lasts quite well, once I prime my skin with The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin reviver. I'm a huge fan of Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra, a find many foundations I have bought, just don't hold a candle to it. That is until now, I feel that Teint Visionnaire is fast becoming my new love affair, giving me a slightly lighter coverage then Teint Idole Ultra but still really good coverage and not as heavy on  my face
