If you hate applying makeup because it’s just too hard to do, then keep on reading. I was a little frightened when I first heard about Lancôme’s Ôscillation mascara, with the world’s first vibrating mascara wand. But as it turned out, that product was a gem.

Lancôme has now moved on to vibrating foundation. I’ll be the first to admit that I was skeptical about this product’s power. Is it really good? Does it apply evenly? Is it really that simple to use? Well, speaking from experience now, the answers are yes, yes and yes!

Keep reading to find out why Lancôme’s Ôscillation power foundation is going to be your must-have product for 2010.

When a Lancôme makeup artist washed off my makeup and applied the new Ôscillation power foundation to only half of my face and then stopped working, I froze. Was I supposed to walk the streets like this?? Then she told me to apply the rest myself because it was that easy. In less than 30 seconds, my entire face was covered with a light foundation. It was even and my skin looked a little more radiant than usual. (Always a plus.)

All you have to do is run the applicator across your face and, well, basically that’s it. With 7,000 pulses per minute, the foundation is always even and it lasts up to 14 hours. The best part is that it doesn’t look like you have any makeup on at all. It covers but isn’t thick or clumpy. Bonus: it has SPF 21. (Always protect against the evil UV rays of the sun!) It also contains vitamin E and aloe so it won’t dry out and you don’t have to worry about dry and flakey skin after a few hours.

This amazing new product is perfect for the gal who loves to have great makeup but has no clue how to apply it. The Ôscillation power foundation does the work for you. Call me lazy, but I kind of like having stuff done for me. Lancôme’s Ôscillation power foundation will be available at select Lancôme counters in January 2010 and will retail for $65.

Will you try it out? Or are you still skeptical about makeup that moves?
