Lancome has been around for a while, originally a French brand, and it’s pretty well-known here for its skincare and makeup. You’ll find everything from moisturisers and serums to mascaras and lipsticks. Their Advanced Génifique serum is a bit of a cult classic – people rave about how it smooths and brightens skin. It’s not just about products that look good on the shelf, but ones that actually deliver results, which is why a lot of people stick with the brand year after year.
The shoppers who pick Lancome tend to be those who want a middle ground between high street and high-end. It’s not cheap, but it’s not eye-wateringly expensive either. Plus, it’s easily available in department stores like John Lewis and online, so it’s pretty accessible. Lancome also has a decent range of foundation shades compared to some other brands, which makes it popular among a wider crowd.
On the flip side, some people find the scent of their products a bit strong, especially in skincare, so it’s not for everyone. But if you like a bit of a pamper session with your beauty routine, Lancome tends to hit the right notes. Their fragrances like La Vie Est Belle also have a loyal following, often praised for being elegant without feeling over the top.
