Didn't work for me :(- 03.08.10
Quick Take: not line smoothing
In the store it seemed perfect, but because I had tried a "few" foundations/primers, I wasn't seeing this as a stand alone foundation. The color was beautiful and the application is very smooth...however, I thought this was supposed to be line smoothing...for me, it seemed to accentuate my fine lines. Wierd...but that was just my observation. I even gave it another shot, after purchasing a good primer and still not good results. I would imagine this would be lovely on young skin. I will stick with Dior Capture liquid foundation, which is great for mature skin :)

LOVE IT!- 03.04.10
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, leaves skin feeling soft
I love this makeup. It is full coverage that goes on so easily. So much easier than liquid and more coverage than mineral makeup. Leaves your face feeling so soft and smooth. Doesn't settle in lines and I'm 42. Went away this weekend and a friend asked to borrow it. She went to Sephora on Monday and bought for herself. Ha.

Perfection!- 02.22.10
Quick Take: long wearing, cream to powder
This is the absolute best foundation I have ever used. It makes my blotchy combination skin look so smooth and pretty. I actually got a compliment that I had "beautiful skin" for the first time in my life (no mention of the make-up I was wearing).

Great Coverage/ Super Smooth Finish- 01.10.10
Quick Take: full coverage/flawless finish
I bought this foundation in ivory 4N and it blends into my skin seemlessly. This foundation has great coverage and really does help to smooth out the look of the skin for a more flawless finish. This is one of the best foundations I have ever used and I've tried pretty much everything out there.

Magnificient!- 01.08.10
Quick Take: long wearing, flawless coverage
This is absolutely the best foundation I have ever used! Up till now it was necessary for me to layer concealer and foundation (sometimes two) to hide the imperfections that result from my aging, sun-damaged skin. Lancome has beautifully remedied this by developing a foundation that, on it's on has brightened my skin and left me feeling confident again. An absolute winner!

Just Perfection!!!- 01.03.10
I love this product!!! It makes my skin look hydrated and line-less! I set it with Smashbox double powder in a brush ( the one that is white with two finishes ) and honestly, my skin looks almost too perfect!!! LOL

It's OK- 12.15.09
Quick Take: oil-free, cream to powder
I LIKE THIS FOUNDATION, IT GREAT FOR MY SENSITIVE SKIN AND ALSO IT LOOKS NATURAL. THE COVERAGE IS OK AND THE SPF IS A PLUS. HOWEVER, IT SMEARS EASILY AND IT'S NOT LONG LASTING.

Quick Take: long wearing, cream to powder, medium-full coverage
I really like this product. It is the best color match for my skin tone I have found, and wears beatifully all day long. I was concerned about the amount in the compact vs the price, but a little goes a long way. It gives great coverage without looking or feeling like a mask. I will definitely buy this again, except during the summer, when I will switch to the liquid formulation.

Line ENHANCING Makeup!- 11.09.09
Quick Take: cream to powder
This makeup is supposed to smooth lines, instead it seemed to enhance the lines. It also made my skin look kind of greasy. It feels really nice going on, silky and smooth, but after a couple of hours it looks like you've aged ten years. I won't buy it again. I usually love Lancome makeup, but not this!

Great foundation- 11.07.09
Quick Take: oil-free, cream to powder, great coverage, versatile
For those of us who travel lots, its a solid, so you don't have to stuff it in a plastic sack. It covers well. Set it with a powder for staying power or reapply if you need. Great for daytime with a very natural look and terrific for evening with a heavier coverage. Very versatile. I really like it.

Photogenic Lumessence Compact- 10.10.09
Quick Take: cream to powder
I purchased the Ivoir (ivory) color, as I am white as a ghost. This color was NOT ivory. It was about 1 1/2 shades too dark for me. I was VERY disappointed. Paying this for an item that shows one color on the website, and receiving the color, which was WRONG, is an expensive mistake on YOUR part.

Greasy- 10.09.09
Quick Take: oil-free, greasy, not long wearing
Pros: blends well, good color range, looks natural, convenient. Cons: Feels greasy. I top it with powder, but within an hour or so my face feels greasy and if someone or something touches my face, the color rubs right off. I'm returning it and my hunt for a cream foundation continues...
