Lancome Blanc Expert Mineral Liquid Foundation
Lancome Blanc Expert Mineral White-Reviving Liquid Foundation (S$75, 25ml) promises a radiant, translucent finish while covering both spots and pores. As it is designed and tested on Asian skins, and manufactured in Japan, I had fairly high hopes for it.
Here's the product description.
The ingredients list (not paraben-free).
It comes in a elegant glass bottle with a pump that is easy to control in terms of dispensing the fluid. In fact, one full pump is too much for one application so I usually use about half a pump. After prepping my skin with Shiseido White Lucent Intensive Spot Targeting Serum, I warm up the foundation in my palm before dotting it on and then blending it out with my fingertip. The foundation texture reminds me of L'Oreal's True Match Liquid Foundation (L'Oreal is the parent company of Lancome) in that it is a thin liquid that dries down quite fast to a slightly powdery matte finish, so you need to blend it out quickly. It is essential to sufficiently moisturise your skin before using this foundation because otherwise, it does tend to accentuate any dry patches/flakes.
The coverage is sheer to medium. It does even out my skintone but does not completely conceal dark spots or my under eye circles. In terms of oil control, I still needed to blot my skin every hour or so (which is normal for me) but at least the foundation doesn't pool in my pores or start streaking when my skin starts to get oily.
Overall, I felt that it was a decent foundation but not really holy grail material for me. I still find Lancome's Maquicake UV Infinite Powder Foundation to be more user-friendly in terms of ease of application and with better oil control. Also, if you have dry skin, the Blanc Expert Mineral liquid foundation is probably not suitable for you.
The lovely Kas from Shine, Shimmer & Sparkle gifted me with this Lancome Ombre Absolue Palette C10 Renaissance Printaniere a couple of weeks ago. The Ombre Absolute series was just released last year. The texture is quite silky with a lovely glimmer that is not too frosty. The shades are best applied with the sponge applicator for greater intensity.
For this look, I also used Virtuose Precious Cells mascara and Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Zero.
