Beauty Care: Lancome Tendre Mirage & Mlle Amanda L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Tendre Mirage (250)

Lancome Tendre Mirage (250) L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick (2022) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light, pinkish-peach with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had medium, somewhat buildable pigmentation, that applied fairly evenly but was more prone to settling into my deeper lip lines.

The consistency was lightly emollient, smooth, and lightweight without being too thick or too thin. It wore well for three hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce

It was recently reformulated to be even more hydrating with "18 hour comfort" and "8 hour hydration" paired with an "ultra-creamy texture" and "intense color" that gives a "luminous finish." They distinguish the 18-hour and 8-hour claims from it being long-wearing, so presumably they are referring to how one's lips feel after the product as worn away or been removed (after fading).

Most shades had full color payoff in a single layer, while a few shades had to be built up. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and emollient without being too slippery or too thick, so the lipstick applied comfortably across my lips but wasn't prone to settling into my lip lines. The formula was more forgiving of lip texture imperfections and seemed to smooth out my lip lines more often than not.

They have a powdery floral scent, which is noticeable more in the tube than on, but it had a bit of taste initially to me. The updated formula felt very comparable to the last iteration, possibly a little lighter-weight and smoother on my lips. They wore between four and six hours and were hydrating.

Mademoiselle Amanda (253)

Lancome Mademoiselle Amanda (253) L’Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick (2022) ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark peach with warmer undertones and a cream finish, though it seemed a little pinker during application. The lipstick had a lightweight consistency that was thinner, but not clingy, smooth, and easy to maneuver across my lips.

It had rich color coverage that adhered evenly to my lips and softened some of my lip lines. This shade lasted well for four hours and was hydrating over time.
