Updated and improved to meet women’s most pressing skin desires, Teint Idole Ultra Wear has become a global icon. An ally, a means of self-expression and empowerment; it remains Lancôme’s best-selling foundation[1], achieving outstanding proven performance – year after year. No wonder it is consistently one of the most beloved foundations worldwide.

Since then, it has become renowned for its winning technology and is synonymous with a round-the-clock natural matte finish that delivers maximum comfort, lasting coverage and hydration with no streaking, caking or masking.

Following 26 years of science since the first Teint Idole, the upgraded Teint Idole Ultra Wear is patented until 2033, it’s backed by 14 tests and 11 years of development. Today, the remarkable story continues as Lancôme pushes the boundaries with a new and improved Teint Idole Ultra Wear patented formula that defies expectation and aims to help everyone find their perfect match. In a consumer test on 215 women, 9 out of 10 women found a shade that flatters and matches their skin tone.

’With skinification, we are no longer only satisfied with the initial criteria that define a good makeup product. We go beyond that by trying to understand how it can also improve the look and feel of the skin. It is through this approach that we can decide on which active ingredient to use in our formulas.’’
