I’m sure you all know that Lancome launched a new breakthrough foundation this month, that its going to revolutionize once more the art of makeup. After 10 years of research and 7 patents, let me introduce you to *drum rolls* Teint Miracle foundation!
Teint Miracle promises to give your skin instant radiance, luminosity and that “barely there” type of finish. There is a lot of science behind it, “Aura-Inside” technology that recreates your inner light effect, is just one but im not going to bore you to death with it.
I have been using it daily since i got it, almost three weeks ago. This was the only foundation i had with me on holiday, so i only used this without cheating with other foundations.
First, i have to tell you that my skin is combination/oily, i don’t need major coverage but i like a medium to full one, just to have a nice canvas for eyeshadow and blush. Miracle offers a buildable coverage, which means you can layer the foundation depending on the desirable look.
What i usually do is apply it with my fingers all over the face and the insisting with a foundation brush on the areas where i feel i need a bit more coverage. The result is very natural, and yes i can notice a nice radiance added to my skin. Also, it didnt break me out.
Texture wise is very hydrating (40% water content) and has an added SPF 15. Some people might not like this, but it has a faint scent of roses due to the natural extract. I don’t mind fragrance in my skincare as I’m not allergic, but i know some people dislike it.
The only issue i have with the foundation, is that its not meant to add pressed powder on top of it because you are killing the luminosity/radiance effect. It actually makes sense, a dewy makeup means maximum light reflection…powder kills it, by matifying. After a couple of days with terrible oily t-zone i had to compromise and use a pressed powder on the shiny areas, avoiding the cheeks.
Here is me sporting the 03 Beige Diaphane shade. Looks a tad darker in real life.
Overall i like it a lot for day to day use, but i wouldn’t use it at night time. By being a radiance foundation, it reflects the light so you look like a ghost in flash photography. I learned that the hard way lol.
What do you think, do we have an yay or nay?
Hi Andreea,
I think it looks lovely on you-seems to be a good colour match and looks really natural and dewy.
The foundation looks quite yellow in the container and on your hand thought. Was it an expensive foundation?
Btw, I emailed you back about the problems that you were having with commenting on my blog 🙂

Hi Alethea,
It looks orange on the first photos because it was taken with the iphone + loads of artificial light. I was in bed with the laptop writing the post and felt too lazy to get the camera lol. The face photo was taken with a normal camera.
In reality is a nice beige color, not to light not to dark. This shade actualy is the most wearable for day time from the lot.
Hi.. I was surfing online for the reveiws n came across urs.. Just wondering what shade u r using… Pix looking lovely:)

Hi hun, 03 its yellow based and seems to be the most popular shade for a medium skin. At the moment i got the 02 (slight pink undertone) because im terribly pale and even the 03 is too dark. Try a sample first in the shop and see how you like it xxxx
Gah, I’m no medium skin…but will give my 03 a go, fingers crosses it will adapt to my skintone, hope dies last :D! xx

Im sure it will be ok, you are not very pale either. Curious to hear your thoughts on it, think a fotd is mandatory 😀 xxxx
Hi Andreea,
are you sure this is the right Lancome packaging? I could only find bottles written in black at the local stores here in germany. The writting read – BARE SKIN FOUNDATION and not bare skin PERFECTION.
What do you think?
