L'Essentiel - High Perfection Foundation

Hated it

It wore horribly on me. It clung to little dry spots and just looks patchy. I have oily skin so when i say dry spot i mean the tiniest little spec and this foundation just made it look so much worse. I tried brush, fingers, and beauty blender. Just a no go. Plus the smell is just wayyyyyyy too strong.

chalky textures!

One of THE WORST foundations I have ever used! Hands down! Settles into skin! Makes me look about 10 years older then I actually am! Super chunky like morticians makeup! Lines and texture is amplified by A LOT! Seriously this is so bad I do not recommend this if you want to look natural or human like I don’t even think it would be good for a fake look Chalk city

Long lasting

I was disappointed when I saw that lingerie de peau has been discontinued but L’Essential has not disappointed. It’s thicker to apply but it lasts all day. The shape of the bottle is a bit annoying. It’s not as easy to use as the previous shape.

L’essentiel foundation

The best foundation! I recommend this product. I am very happy!!

HIGH PERFECTION FOUNDATION 24H WEAR - SPF 15

Although the shade and the foundation is great. The bottle is of very poor design. So poor it does not do up properly and on a recent trip away it emptied itself out into my make up bag. I’m so disappointed.

Lighter in texture than Estee Lauder DW but I find it lasts just as long! It feels lighter on the skin and doesn't cake as much as DW can. I prefer this for an every day long wear foundation and then the DW for special occasions etc. This will definitely be a repurchase item for me!

Current favourite full coverage foundation

I received a couple of samples of this foundation and decided to try the full size bottle. I had been using Huda's matte full coverage foundation last year, but I found that formula really showed any fine lines and rough patches. This found is perhaps the best full coverage foundation that still has a very natural and perfecting finish that I have used. My skin is fairly normal, I get dry on my cheeks and can get some oil on my T zone. My only complaint is the fragrance. I am used to it by now, but it is beyond me why companies still use so much fragrance in their skin products. I personally dont know anyone who likes scented make up.

Tolles Finish, gute Deckkraft

Ich bin zufrieden. Leider habe ich die falsche Farbe gegriffen, die nun etwas zu dunkel ist. Darum wird nochmal eine andere Nuance bestellt. :-)

great coverage (medium), slight smell but goes away once applied, coverage builds well. Stays on approximately 12 hours with oil-ish skin, does stay on in drier areas longer.

I hate everything about this

I came in interested in another foundation (for my wedding photography) but the sales clerk really pushed this one on me. I have pretty nice skin and usually don't need more than a sheer powder, but with this stuff my skin looks AWFUL. It oxidizes to a yellow hue so what matched at first doesn't after a few minutes. It makes my skin look so fake and ages it so much. I don't have perceivable wrinkles without make-up, but this settles into every crease and makes my skin *look* wrinkly. I apply with a BeautyBlender sponge and it doesn't matter. To top it all off, it STINKS. It's being returned.

Settles into pores and textures like no other

I liked the radiant version and decided to get this because my shade was on sale. I think it got the same strong lingering scent as the original. What I don't like about this foundation is that it settles into pores that I don't know I have (not the usual nose and around the nose areas but further out on the cheeks). Was very in shock because no other foundation I tried had this issue. It does last pretty well and stay fairly matte on my oily for at least 5 hours before I took it off.

New Favourite Foundation!

I have sensitive combo acne-prone skin and this foundation held up on all fronts. It had a nice blurring effect that diminished the look of pores and it stayed on for the entire day! I didn’t even need to use a proper makeup primer- I tried both “Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops” and “Smashbox Vita glow primer” underneath and the foundation lasted all day without separating. I did notice that after 8 hours, the foundation did settle a bit into the creases (smile lines) but you shouldn’t have an issue if you use a proper primer and set your foundation afterwards.
