Ôscillation Power foundation, Lancôme’s latest vibrating makeup, is self touted do-it-all foundation. I bought into the vibrating mascara last year but realized after 3 uses that the vibration actually made the mascara dry. Granted, this has SPF 21– among the highest on the market but does a vibrating applicator make it a smoother more natural finish?
The applicator delivers 7,000 micro-oscillations per minute, which is said to help spread the powder evenly across your skin and buff it down to a matte finish. I will have to try this out to see if it delivers as promised. Have you tried this? What do you think? Lancome ‘Oscillation Powerfoundation’ Micro-Vibrating. Polishing. Mineral Make-up. SPF 21 here. $48
it seems like they’re just trying to apply the same technology/marketing to a different product. except, i don’t see why it would be necessary for your foundation to apply 7000 times a second. for mascara it makes sense, to cover all lashes and build volume (though i actually found the vibrating wand to be less effective than my usual wiggle/blink technique…)
I bought it and sent it back – very poor coverage…never got enough powder on the oscillating puff to make a difference…
