I just really don't like it.
Normally I love Lancome products, but, to me, this was a complete miss. Yes, it gives a flawless natural finish, however the application itself is not so great. You have to replace the applicator and there are limited places where you can purchase it such as Nordstrom or online, but if you buy it online you have to pay shipping and what not. And the applicator itself is like $5. If you do not replace it after using it a lot the soft velvet like bristles wear away and what is left is the sponge. And, if you apply it make sure your face is totally dry (no sweat or oil) because that wears out the applicator.
I feel like if you do not apply it all over the face right away, or if you start on your nose, it gets blotchy and has build-up on your face. The oscillation itself works and I haven't replaced the battery for owning this for over two years. But I would rather get a powder brush and apply it than use the oscillation applicator, which does not make sense since that is what you are paying for. Overall, I would say the powder itself is good, the oscillation feels nice, however together I don't think they work as well as it claims. As far as coverage go it does not quite work so well -- for a natural finish it does.
Not a gimmicky package - it works.
I thought this was another gimmicky product but the Oscillation Powerfoundation works. In general, I don't like loose mineral powder foundations simply because many brands are quite messy to use. Who wants powder all over the bathroom counter and floor? If you're curious and need to get some new mineral makeup, this is worth a try. It also has SPF 21 and is supposed to last 14 hours but I never wore it for that long.
The finish is super natural - it just looks like your skin, only healthier-looking. The vibrating applicator is not messy at all. I dunno if there’s really 7,000 micro-oscillations per minute, the applicator's gentle buffing action gives an even coverage. I love the Beige 10 shade as it really matches my skin tone. This foundation is also great for sensitive skin.
