Foundation Quest: Lancome Photogenic Luminessence

I told you last week about the emotional rollercoaster (ok, ok, I may be exaggerating a little) that was my quest to find a new, perfect foundation. The end result is that - for now - I'm sticking with MAC Studio Fix fluid as my old reliable, but I did find a couple of new and deadly products that I've added to my beauty arsenal.

Just launched is Lancome's Photogenic Luminessence. Perfect for mature and dry skins, it's actually a product that I think gives Armani's Lumimous Silk a run for its money. It's nice and moisturising, contains "coated pigments and Photo-Liminescent mother-of-pearl [and] catches and controls the light, boosting the skin's luminosity as though from within". In nomal-speak, it gives skin a lovely glow and is brilliant for a night-time look.

It's as good for day though, as it has SPF 15 and 14 hour comfort wear. Coverage? Medium, and the finish is dewey and flattering - and it can be yours now for about €35.
