I was so looking forward to the arrival of this product ,it’s so hard to choose a new foundation in the shops and I often end up with one that just isn’t right for me .
I love loreal products in general so was hoping it lived up to my expectations . And wow it exceeded them .
Certainly ticks all my boxes .,and why I’ve rated it so high .
I loved the size of the tube ,so easy to slip into your handbag . It’s a lovely thin liquid ,not thick and glucky ,so easy to apply . At first I thought the colour might be a little light even for my pale complexion ,but that wasn’t the case ,once I blended it ,it was actually the best match I’ve ever found for my skin tone .
And yes it did give my skin a nice healthy glow to it .coverage was listed as moderate ,however it covered all my imperfections just fine .
I am very impressed with this foundation and have decided to change from my existing one .
Price wise it is reasonable too ,I’ve yet to see how it wears during the day ,but I can come back and let you know . I would highly recommend this to all my female friends and family . It is a must have for me . Thank you for this opportunity ,it had allowed me to finally find the right foundation for me .
I also love it has a SPF factor a plus In my books .
The first thing I noticed about this foundation was how 'liquid' the formula is. I'm used to something heavier that squeezes out as a thicker blob than this one. That is not to say that it was messy or runny- just different to what I'm used to!
I followed the instructions and dotted it onto my skin before 'rolling' it in. I was immediately impressed by how smoothly it went on. There was no hassle in blending it in, no brushes or sponges required here. This is the kind of foundation that you want around on a morning when you'e in a rush. Or for that matter, anytime really that you don't want to have overly 'work' the foundation in for an even finish.
I chose the shade 202 creamy natural which is cool toned and matches the swatch diagram well. If anything, it's slightly lighter than my skin in person but an in-store tester would have quickly solved that!
The coverage is described as medium and radiant. I found it to be on the lighter side. Medium to me suggests that it will cover most imperfections in your complexion, but not all. I still went in with a few touches of concealer after the foundation for the small red marks that were left behind- pesky things! As mentioned earlier though, the coverage is perfectly even and smooth. My skin fits the 'normal to dry' profile and there were no issues with it drying out my skin. The radiance is there, I applied over sunscreen, and was left with a dewy glow- perfect! Not too shiny but not at all matte.
Overall, this is great if you're looking for an easy-to-apply, daily use foundation. It's not an option for those looking for a full coverage foundation but that's not what it sets out to do!
Tips: Applying with fingers works well. Shade test in person if possible!
