Lancôme New Teint Miracle
Lancôme Malaysia has been teasing us with the New Teint Miracle @ "Aura in a Bottle" since early September. They chose a group of their facebook fans to experience this miraculous breakthrough at the Mid Valley Roadshow.
10 years of research, 7 patents pending : Lancôme invents its 1st foundation that recreates the true natural light of perfect skin, with Aura-Inside™ technology. Instantly, complexion appears lit-from-within, beautifully bare, visibly flawless.

Must knows about the New Teint Miracle:
1) Combining optical research with biology, Lancôme has developed Aura-Inside™ technology, a natural light creator composed of new-generation bioptic pigments and a ‘liquid light essence’. These special ingredients optimise the skin’s surface radiance and bring out the skin’s inner light, making it appear flawless.
2) Teint Miracle has 10 times less powdery fillers and almost 40% purified water for natural coverage and bare skin sensation.
3) It also contains a skincare complex with soothing rose extract for hydration up to 18 hours and diminishes redness for a more uniformed complexion and luminosity.
4) Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.
5) Oil-free. Non-comedogenic. Dermatologist-tested. It does not cause breakouts and is non-irritating.
6) SPF 15 Sunscreen to protect skin from UV damage.

After having read all that, I was so curious how this would fair on my skin. A few things you should know about my skin before I tell you about my Teint Miracle experience - I have combination to oily skin, acne battle scars (the indented type as well as dark ones) and uneven skin tone.

You should be able to see my dark acne scars in the Right photo
Products that were used to prep my skin
From L-R: Express Cleansing Water, Genifique Youth Activator, Soothing Anti-Stress Moisturising Cream Fluid, Eye Contour Gel Cream, GN-Shield BB Base.
This water-based foundation has a light texture and glides on smoothly onto my skin. According to Irene, Lancôme's Color Design Artist the Teint Miracle has to be applied in a certain way, lightly massage it in a circular motion and even it out. It has a 3D effect that gives the face a lift. It's especially obvious at the cheek area. It can also be applied around the eye area. No powder was used to set the foundation to keep it looking natural.
My shade : O-04
A beige/yellow base is more suitable for my skintone.
You will see mineral pigments in the foundation. This is to make your skin look radiant & luminous.
My skin looked smooth, bright and my skin tone almost evened out after applying the foundation. It feels weightless. But here's the thing, because the coverage is so sheer and light my dark acne scars were still visible. I'm the type that does not leave home without concealing my scars really well. So I would still have to use a concealer to make them "disappear".

My left side looked quite smooth
2 hours later, my skin started getting shiny. This is a little bit faster compared to my usual oil control base, foundation, powder combo. The hydrating quality of this foundation may have also contributed to it. Not that its a bad thing but it may not be all too suitable for my oily skin. 4 hours on, apart from the shine, i noticed slight blotchiness. The foundation was already running off. Hmm.. perhaps I still need powder to set the foundation.
After only 2 hours :(
I'll give this foundation another go but this time with oil-control base, concealer and powder. But I guess that would defeat the purpose of looking natural *sigh*. Teint Miracle could work a lot better on normal to dry skin and skin with minor imperfections.
