Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 23 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Finally! Finally a foundation that works! This foundation is amazing! It's moisturizing and covers well without being heavy. I have tried soo many foundations and they never quite live up to my standards. I don't even have to use a base or moisturizer with this foundation. It lasts all day with very few touch ups. I just set it with a little Translucence pressed power and I look flawless! Please Lancome don't discontinue ever! 2/16/12
Rated 4 out of 5 by love this product except for one thing THE PUMP I tried various foundations and was not happy,in July of 2000 ,I started using Photogenic. I love the the look,very, very natural. Then you changed the packaging and you added the PUMP. Great idea, it dispenes the right amout of foundation,but after 2 weeks the pump doesn"t work all the time, sometimes I have push the pump over 25 times. One time I got so mad I took the tube off the pump and used it the "old fashion"way by turning the bottle over and got an extra month of foundation out of that bottle . Can't you redesign the pump so it works all the time? 2/6/12
Rated 5 out of 5 by Finally! Being a makeup artist, I feel like I've used ever and tried every foundation you could think of and I've never found anything that I was truly happy with (for my skin). I usually avoid foundation because it looks too heavy on me and always looks dry around my nose and chin. I'm getting married in a few months and have been searching everywhere for a moisturizing foundation that didn't look heavy but had complete coverage. I finally found it! I feel like the color's melt into the skin and create a perfect match of color. It covers well and makes my skin tone really even. Super moisturizing and doesn't dry out my skin like other foundations. The best part is, it barely looks like I'm wearing anything!....everyone wants to look like they have great skin without looking like a clown- you must try. I was starting to loose faith I would ever find a foundation that was right for me- now I'm a believer ;) 1/27/12
Rated 5 out of 5 by Love this foundation? I've tried many foundations over the years, and several from Lancome. I believe this one is my favorite! It feels sheer and light, but covers well. Lines seem to fade away and my skin looks healty and smooth. It's important to me not to look too made up, or to have cakey foundation! My skin is normal to dry, so I rarely use any powder, and this foundation works perfectly. 12/7/11
Rated 4 out of 5 by lovely effect, disappointing spf I have very fair freckled skin. I chose this foundation over all of the others I was considering because it listed its SPF as "broad spectrum". Since no ingredient list is supplied on the website, I chose based solely on the description of technology and benefits. When the foundation arrived, I was extremely disappointed to discover that the active SPF ingredient is not considered "broad spectrum" at all according to the skin cancer foundation or dermatologists. It is only effective against UVB rays and not against UVA rays. So I felt misled. However, I did not return this product because the effect and finish on this foundation is beautiful! Try your other foundation on 1/2 of your face to compare in the sunlight and you will see the illuminating effect! Given the importance of SPF to me, I am not sure I would buy this foundation again given its price. But I would certainly consider a similar product with a better UVA coverage. 11/14/11
