Lancôme Teint Miracle Hydrating Foundation - 2017 Formula Review


Teint Miracle (S$68) was the first foundation I bought from Lancôme years ago. I remember getting a couple of sample sachets (carefully squeezed into a travel jar and rationed out into several days of use) and had a light bulb moment when I when I realized foundation could refract and bounce light to give coverage and "fake" a natural-looking nude skin luminosity.

Teint Miracle has always had a spot (well, two spots because I buy this in two shades) in my foundation drawer since. Even though the market is now flooded with newer formulas, I come back to this one repeatedly because I trust it to deliver that my-skin-but-better effect without sacrificing too much coverage or a fresh feel.

Brands constantly upgrade formulas as new technology and better ingredients become available, so I wasn’t too worried about the new version not being good, but reformulations can cause things to sit differently on the skin, so I spent the past few days just testing out the new foundation repeatedly.

What I always loved about the Teint Miracle formula:
  • natural looking radiance that mimics great skin and gives a brighter, more rested appearance
  • lightweight feel with buildable to medium coverage
  • hydrating but oil-free and non-tacky to the touch
  • satin finish that looks like bare skin
  • great fairer shade options on the yellow-based spectrum
The latest formula is supposed to deliver these, along with:
  • deeper skin hydration from rose extract, glycerin and hyaluronic acid
  • soothing and anti-aging benefits from rose and Moringa extract (rich in vitamin A) 
  • oil-absorbent ingredients for better lasting power
  • new "Universal Light Technology" to mimic that perfect glow regardless of lighting conditions
