even finish. The breakthrough Optic Blue pigments

natural luminosity and diffuse light for pure
perfection. Enriched with Aqua-catch(TM) complex, this

hours, providing all-day comfort that allows the
complexion radiates from within for an endless vivid
glow.What else you need to know:This product is

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...

Great finish- 09.29.09
Quick Take: long wearing, cream to powder
Lovely finish looks pretty natural... Has med to full coverage, pores minimized and good finish in most lights, so far. And it is compact and not messy!! take with you. I just hope it lasts long, it seems like not much in the compact. Thus the deduction. Will repurchase.

Great Foundation- 09.29.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing
I was a mineral foundation user for years until I found this! It applies smoothly, the coverage is great and it doesn't leave a greasy sheen on my face. Friends have even commented on how great my skin looks when wearing this foundation. It's pricey, but worth it.

Great coverage but doesn't last.- 09.29.09
I have combo skin that leans more toward the dry side and, after a couple of hours, this stuff left my face too slick and shiny. Definitely not an all-day make up.

Great coverage- 09.29.09
Quick Take: long wearing
This is a great foundation that evens out my skin tone. I tend to have red tones and the coverage from this make up is great. It does not look heavy or cakey but it covers flaws wonderfully. I am 44 and always on the look out for a foundation that will correct,but not make me look older. This is it. Worth the price.

Stunning! Beautiful Look That Lasts All Day!- 09.09.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, perfect coverage
This is better than any foundation I've ever used. It feels like silk going on. It's very creamy, yet not heavy in any way. It doesn't settle into fine lines. The coverage is perfect and the results flawless. The foundation stays on all day until I take it off with cleanser. For a complete look of perfection, top it off with Photogenic powder.

This stuff is great!- 09.03.09
Quick Take: oil-free, smoothing
The coverage with this product is excellent - all fine lines dissapear! I am used to using a mineral powder with no underlying foundation, so going to just this took a little getting used to, but now I love it. Your complexion is so smooth and flawless. If you have fine lines (like I do - forehead), be sure to apply "against the grain"; if you apply in the direction of the fine lines, it will tend to settle in them after only a few minutes. Applied correctly, it's pure heaven. It's so natural looking and not heavy or cakey at all. I have a very good complexion (luckily) anyway, and this product just gives me an absolute porcelain finish. Fabulous!

crazy!! wonderful!!- 08.28.09
Quick Take: long wearing, smooth
i tired this makeup on while in sephora when i first put it on, the color bisque 8 it was kinda a red color. it totally blended with my skin and when i added the honey lll powder it was great. when i left the store to finish my shopping people were telling me how great my skin looked. i am very happy with this product and its just my first day. its also smooth and feels soft on my skin and i like the low spf because sometimes the high spf products are to much for my skin. its a great product. i plan on trying the foundation.

PERFECTION!!!- 08.09.09
Quick Take: creamy and luminous!
As a long time Armani Luminous Silk addict it takes a lot to impress me! This is like LSF in a convenient compact! In Armani I wear LSF #5. But in this line the Ivoire 4 (N) was an excellent match. This makeup goes on like a dream! It's creamy and luminous. Coverage is medium to heavy depending on how you apply it. Finished off with a light dusting of Guerlain Meteorites Beige Lunineux and a little Coralista blush on the cheeks, it works wonders!
