The Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Line's Shade Selection Is Getting a Major Upgrade

Next month, Lancôme is not only launching their first-ever metallic lipsticks (which are seriously amazing BTW), but they're also bulking up their popular Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation line. Three of the existing, long-wearing complexion products are getting shade additions, making them more accessible to people of every skin tone. And we swear we're not talking about 50 shades of beige. Instead, the company is joining the ranks of Kat Von D and Maybelline New York in expanding their foundation lines to be more inclusive.

First off, the full-coverage Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation is upping it's 35-shade range to 40 with five bisque hues. That's a pretty solid selection. Each fill in some holes throughout the line, with 215 Bisque (N), a fawn, being the lightest new shade, and 465 Bisque (C), an amber brown perfect for olive skin tones.

If you're more of a cushion foundation fan, Lancôme will now offer 18 shades of their . The Best of Beauty 2016 winner for medium coverage foundation is adding four new colors to its lineup. All add to the deeper side of the shade spectrum, with 555 Suede (C), a deep espresso, as the new darkest shade for the product. There's also 450 Suede (N), which is a chocolate, 460 Suede (W), a caramel brown, and 500 Suede (W,) a mahogany brown. You can preview all of the shades here.

As for the creamier crop, the superportable and superbuildable Teint Idole Ultra Wear Stick is introducing 10 new shades next year. That brings the range up to 30. Like the fresh Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation shades, the latest hues for the stick are all across the board, specifically in the Ivoire, Buff, and Bisque categories. (The stick already comes in the darker Suede shades.) BTW these things are kickass multitaskers; you can also use them as a concealer, highlighter, or as a contour (with a shade two to three shades darker, of course).

Again, all of the new shades in the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear line will launch in January on lancome-usa.com, so there's one more reason to get excited for 2017 if you ask us.
