Replacement for Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear? Not a fan of the new formula 😭

Sadly I find myself on the hunt for a new foundation. This seems to happen every 12-15 yrs - be it due to my light shade being discontinued or formula changes. 

I just opened my new bottle of Teint Idole Ultra Wear (110C for reference) and noticed the texture difference right away. It was almost runny. I double checked the wording to ensure I didn’t receive another foundation by mistake. I am so bummed. I’ve been using this for years. 

Looking for advice on alternatives, please!!!

My Wants:

Full Coverage

Matte Finish

Love that flawless porcelain doll look (within reason at my age)

 

Me:

46, quite pale, blue eyes, blonde hair, normal skin, luckily little to no wrinkles, occasional hormonal acne, deep troughs/hollow areas under eyes (maybe worse in my own mind but hate them!)

 

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi there! I realize this thread is almost a year old, but I was just wondering if you ever did find a good dupe for your shade of Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear?  I also was using 110 ivory C for years and the new formula is too dark.  I am also pale with blonde hair and blue eyes. (

did any of the suggestions above work out for you? Did you find some thing else similar?

Sorry for the late delay - I literally only now got the notification for it. I ended up going with NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation Mont Blanc. The color is absolute perfection. Fabulous coverage, great porcelain smooth finish. The only drawback I’ve struggled with is that as I’m getting older my skin is changing on me. I now have very dry skin (a first for me) and by the end of the day I feel like all of my pores and couple of wrinkles look horrid. Could all be in my head, I dunno. I would definitely try this one though 🙂

Thanks so much for responding!  I didn’t get a notification either!  I totally relate and have the same issue. I am 46 now and have maaany more wrinkles than I thought I would have at this age. Plus, I’ve always had combination dry skin.  This is why I always loved the Lancome so much because it was very moisturizing.  

I might give the NARS a try at least as a temporary replacement because I am literally about to run out and I can’t be stuck with nothing lol.  Thanks for the info!

I’m in the same boat. I loved the old formula of Teint Idol in 090- the new version doesn’t have that ivory pink I loved.

Hi, @skb529 !  I've been there and it was the last time Lancome changed Teint Idole!  I'm 58 and pasty white.  I, too, love a matte finish.   I recommend DIOR Dior Forever Matte Skincare Foundation 0N Neutral  .  It has a great shade range (read:  colors light enough for us with very light complexions), a nice matte finish, and a buildable formula. 

 

For a very matte and full-coverage formula, try NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation Mont Blanc  .  I have a hard time finding a match in NARS, but maybe you won't.  I wear this foundation occasionally.  It's not my favorite, but definitely worth looking at.

 

Finally, a nice matte, medium coverage formula is LYS Beauty Triple Fix Serum Foundation LN3  .  Don't let "serum" scare you!  It's not a tint or glowy.  This foundation has the best match to my skin tone.  I wear this almost as much as the Dior.  The finish is very nice.

 

I also wear Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation  in no. 2.  However, it is a bit glowy, but the finish is lovely.  On the other hand, the color range is spartan.  I only mention this one because I never thought I'd like this type of finish.
