Review : Lancome Photogenic Lumessence

As you can tell from the picture below this is a well loved product , i have used it till the last drop . Now i don't use foundations as much , i prefer light natural coverage so on a day to day basis i stick to a bb cream or a bit of concealer .
I bought this foundation a long time ago and i mainly bought it to wear it on special occasions when i need something long wearing and when i don't have time to retouch my makeup .
This  foundation claims to bring 14 hours comfort to the skin by giving you a long lasting glow and it also provides an SPF of 15 (Which is great for daytime , but not so great for flash photography).
I'm going to jump right off to the pros and cons :


This is what the product looks like
This is my used up version


PROS :
  • Very hydrating if you have dry skin you will love it
  • Long lasting , it lasts for a good 10 hours 
  • High coverage, it covers blemishes and evens out the skin just with one layer ( so at least for me it was not a day to day product as it does not have a natural coverage)
  • You will like it if love heavy coverage foundations
  • It provides a gorgeous glow to the skin , Not shine , Not oiliness but Radiance!
  • A little bit goes a long way


CONS:
  • You won't like it if you expect to be light on the skin
  • You won't like it if you have oily skin 
  • Need to be blended really fast or else it will cake up
  • On the expensive side
  • Only available in five shades  ( mine is 01 beige albatre)


The Verdict:

As i have dry skin i enjoyed wearing it , it is very hydrating and it evened up my skin just fine , it provided me with a subtle glow that i loved but on photos it was a bit problematic as it has an SPF of 15, If you can grab a sample before buying it it will be perfect but if you can't and you have dry/mature skin as well as you love high coverage foundations then you will love it

Thank you for stopping by .Have a magical Day !
