Review: Lancome Dual Finish Versatile Powder Foundation Makeup

I have always been trying out new foundation powders over the years...And I gotta say, this is one of my favorite foundation powder.

The shade I have is Matte Neutrale II (W)..The texture of this powder foundation is really finely milled. I would say the coverage of this foundation is medium to build-able.  I wouldn't say this is a heavy duty full coverage powder, as it doesn't cover acne or marks.

One of the reasons why I love this foundation a lot is the longevity that it gives. I usually apply my  makeup around 7:30am in the morning...and I have a typical OL work schedule. So by the end of the day (I would say at least 8 hrs later), I can still see the foundation set really nicely on my skin. For alot of other foundation powders that I have try (ex. chanel)..this Lancome powder does not oxide as much on me. The color stay pretty much the same as I applied. But of course, it does wear off a bit at the end of the day. But I really love how long it stays on my skin and how nice of a texture it gives to my complexion.

And did I mention that I LOVE the finish that this powder gives? It completely makes minimize the pores around the centre of my face, and it gives a smooth look to my complexion.

The only down side of this foundation is the color range. I have a yellow undertone skin (I'm in B30 in Chanel foundations) and Matte Neutrale II is a touch too light for even my winter shade. However, the next shade darker is too dark to match my skin tone :(.

But overall, I would definitely recommend this powder to everyone. It gives a nice matte finish, so its great for those with oily skin. But even though I have combination to dry skin, I still love how the finish it gives.
