Verdict

Lancôme Teint Idôle Ultra 24H foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation that’s best for oily and combination skin. It has a longwearing formula and will last through sweaty and grueling days.

It has a mostly matte finish and dehydrated skin may not find it moisturizing enough.

Like many Lancôme products, this foundation does contain fragrance, but it fades away quickly.

50 different shades to choose from

This Lancôme foundation has an excellent variety of shades for warm, cool, neutral and olive skintones.

Sun protection included

This foundation is one of those rare foundations with added sun protection. It offers broad spectrum SPF 15, which isn’t much but is sufficient for cloudy days or a quick lunchtime walk.
