i think it's very medium. meaning, it completely covers any blemishes and imperfections on the face, but it doesn't feel like a mask.
also a good thing about is that it comes in a variety of shades, and if you get a good sales associate, they do a thorough job of finding the right shade.
btw, i just found out that lancome and l'oreal are owned by the same company. i wonder if l'oreals true match foundation W4 would be the same as the lancome W4. if that is the case,i will gladly switch to drug store l'oreal foundation and someone's going to be saving $30 each foundation refill time

I love mascara

The three that I usually wear and LOVE are imju fiberwig mascara, Chanel Inimitable multi-dimensional and Dior blackout...The Chanel and Dior are amazing

But overall I prefer the Chanel, cause it separates, lengthens and thickens, but if you're not careful with the Dior it can get clumpy sometimes.

One of the reasons I don't use drugstore makeup is because alot of them have cornstarch in them and that makes me break out. I love Lancome but I find that Laura Mercier is awesome too. They are both very silky and have a silky finish. Unless you have really bad skin, Lancome does a good job at coverage.

iSHi, the fall look is really pretty.

I love her "Hiyah" and "Zoom Zoom"...LOL. She's just so cute.

onets, how do you apply that? How long does it work? It's a really pretty bottle and pink color.

shadha-

shadha, i think it's pretty sheer, so you can build coverage. lol think of it like a huge chapstick that you apply to your cheeks? and yes, agreed, the pretty packaging is a plus; they really know what draws girls to products, haha.

Like, I think this looks strange:

shadha-

the concept sounds werid i agree...but in sephora we tried it on...i tried on purple and my friend tried on blue...it was the hottness

It doesent look good though if you have alot of eyeshadow on too though..cause then its like tooo much on your eyes. It nice simple way to add some color to your eyes without having to go the whole way.
