Lancôme Teint Miracle Promotion

Ladies, if you've always battled with imperfect foundation matches, you might want to check out the upcoming Lancôme promotion. For the entire month of May, all Lancôme beauty counter visitors will receive a complimentary skin-matching consultation and a free 15-day supply of Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup.

This oil-free foundation is pretty pigmented (sheer to moderate coverage), so I suggest using a small amount and build up as you go. Comprised of nearly 40% water, the lightweight texture also provides 18 hours of hydration. Rose Gallica extract is added to smooth skin tone and minimize unevenness. The pink and blue bioptic pigments create a dewy, lit-from-within finish.

This foundation also comes with SPF 15. I tried the Buff 5 C shade, which seem to match my light-to-medium skin tone. The Buff 2 W is a tad too pale on me, but it might work on my winter complexion when I get less color. Be careful to work quickly, because once the color dries it won't budge. I'd recommend using a makeup brush for more even coverage.

Available at all Lancôme counters and www.lancome-usa.com.
