(For the summer months, I prefer a more mattifying foundation, such as Dior Forever, which keeps my oil at bay for at least 6 hours.) The L'oreal True Match and the MUFE HD foundations have a more runny consistency and feel more moisturizing, which is why I prefer them over Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra, for the winter months. The biggest difference between these 2 foundations and Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra is the texture. This also happens when I wear my L'oreal True Match and Make Up For Ever HD foundation. My t-zone starts getting oily after about 4 hours of application. The main reason why I don't love this foundation is because it's not as long lasting as it advertises. However, I still need to set with a powder on my forehead and nose area because my t-zone gets oily throughout the day. Also, the finish is neither cakey nor fully matte, but looks natural and like skin. It does not emphasize dry spots if you exfoliate and moisturize well. It blends easily and offers buildable, medium to full coverage. The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra foundation has a thick creamy consistency that glides onto the skin like butter and feels silky smooth. For reference, I'm an NC30/35, L'oreal True Match W4, Dior Forever 021 mixed with 031, and MUFE HD 127. I went to get color matched at 2 different Lancome counters and both SAs recommended 320W, so that's the shade I chose when I placed my order online, but it ended up being too dark for my skin tone. W means warm, which is suitable for those who have a yellow undertone and N means neutral, which is suitable for those who are neither cool nor warm. C denotes cool, which is suitable for those who have a pink undertone. The gift with purchase definitely lured me into buying the new Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation ($44 for 1oz), which I ended up liking, but not loving. Lancome labels the shades using a number and letter system.
