Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear is Kate Morris's favourite foundation for medium-to-full coverage and long-lasting wear, especially on early mornings and humid travel days.

Fast Facts You Need to Know

When you're the founder of a beauty company that's existed for almost 20 years, it probably comes as no surprise that you get to try a hell of a lot of products. So when someone like Kate Morris sticks to the same foundation for years, you know it must be pretty good.
"Lancôme Teint Idole is one of my all-time favourite foundations and a staple in my foundation wardrobe (yes, that's a thing)."
What Makes This Kate's Fave?
"I rely on it for days where I need medium-to-full coverage and super long wear, such as when I'm travelling. Often I'll have to do my makeup at 6am at home in Melbourne, before flying to Sydney for meetings all day; there's no time to reapply, so I need everything to stay put no matter how humid it is. What I particularly love about Teint Idole as a longwear foundation is that it's not too matte or drying, so it works for my dry, dehydrated skin type."
Kate's Pro Tip: For ultra long wear, a spritz of Skindinavia Makeup Finishing Spray over the top of the finished look will well and truly lock it in place all day.

I was given this to trial a couple of years ago and fell in love with it straight away. I found the formula to be the perfect thickness for a full coverage application. I loved the scent, it is a strong perfume scent that does tend to turn people away but it drew me in. The scent doesnt last long though. The foundation can go patchy if not applied ...
