L'Oréal True Match Foundation

Foundation is the one product I have never fallen in love with. I have tried them all – from Rimmel to Estee Lauder, Revlon to Clarins. I never understood the double wear hype, and I have far too many unfinished bottles of foundation. I have combination/oily skin and like a medium-full coverage foundation. I thought my search for the perfect foundation would never end, until I discovered Loreal True Match.

This isn’t a new foundation. Lauren Curtis raves about it and it’s everywhere in the US drug stores. It was on my list of foundations to try and I don’t know why it took me so long to actually get this brilliant product onto my face. The first thing that caught my attention was the shade selection, which is on the larger side. These are available in Farmers, so you can play all you like until you feel confident that you are walking away with the right shade. I have fair skin and fake tan, but still struggle to get a shade that doesn’t wash me out, yet isn’t too dark. Fake tanners face the dilemma between having a foundation that is golden, but not orange. Farmers had a buy one get one half price deal at the time, so I picked up two shades, which have both been perfect for my different stages of fake tan. This foundation is a standard NZ priced foundation, on par with Revlon. The packaging is sturdy with a pump that doesn’t dispense too much product.

When applying Loreal True Match foundation for the first time I noticed that I used a lot less product to achieve the coverage that I wanted, but without looking heavy or cakey. Because of this, the bottle will last me much longer than foundation has in the past. The foundation is thin and lightweight, but provides a medium, buildable to full coverage. It blends well, and provides even coverage over the skin, without breaking up or latching onto certain parts of the face. The end result without powder sits somewhere between matte and dewy, and can go either way if you use mattifying products, or creamy products for a dewy finish. I personally finish off with Australis Fresh and Flawless, because when I wear foundation I do like a complete, flawless and long lasting finish. I still can’t stop staring at my skin after applying this foundation and the best part.. it looks just as good when I arrive home for the day! I have been wearing Loreal True Match for a month now, and every evening I am still so impressed. Absolutely none of the foundation wears away, the coverage remains perfect, but it doesn’t feel heavy. It doesn’t oxidise or alter at all during the day. I do get shiny after 4-6 hours, so blotting or powdering once in the middle of the day is needed to keep the foundation perfect. This foundation has not affected my skin at all, and it has been prone to blemishes and dry patches caused by foundation in the past.

Loreal True Match has become my holy grail foundation – something that I never thought I would find. If you are looking for a flawless, all day finish then I 100% recommend.

This foundation is extremely versatile, I use a small amount for a light coverage daily, but because it is so build-able, I can also apply more and get a fuller coverage for a night out. I no longer need two foundations for these two uses as I have this one!! Secondly, the foundation feels light on the skin, and I don't notice I am wearing foundation until I look in the mirror. Lastly, the application is so simple, the formula makes it easy to blend out that I can apply it in under a minute!!

This is a must have foundation. Its very versatile and can be used in small amounts to get enough coverage for a day look, or you can build it up for a night time look. Although i do have very oily skin and i found it didn't go too great with it and i found myself needing to use my setting powder which isnt too much of an issue! Overall gives a great finish and great coverage

So my skin tone is very strange as it gives off yellow, pink and neutral undertones making it hard for me to find a foundation that matches me perfectly without having to buy two shades and mixing them together to get my desired colour. this foundation has made this so much easier for me as it matches me perfectly!! Also giving me a flawless finish. It applies so evenly with only one coat needed and feels weightless on your skin. i would highly highly recommend this to EVERYBODY out there!

The L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Foundation is one of my all time favourite drugstore foundations! I use the one without the pump as its cheaper to buy (online) It has a very runny consistency, I would say its a medium to full coverage very buildable foundation which I love! Its not super matte or drying but its definitely not dewy either. I don't use a powder over many of my foundations as I have very dry skin and I find this stays all day without a powder! Its for sure in my top 5 favs! I use a beauty blender or a flat top brush to apply and its easy to apply and blend with both!

I don't even know where to begin from but I absolutely Love Love this foundation to the point where I have used it for 4 years straight.

It definitely delivers exactly what it promises for me. First of all it has a large range of shades and I find it very easy to match the product to my skin which used to be an issue in the past with other products.

The offer a very good coverage that last for a quite a long time. Not too thick consistency and doesn't feel cakey/ heavy on my skin.

It looks very natural on my skin and doesn't seem to irritate it - no break outs or oiliness give how good the coverage is. The price is ok although I wish it was a wee bit more affordable as I use it regularity.

i only recently bought this foundation and its amazing, light weight with a medium coverage, colour selection is great and it blends like a dream.

I have often used L'Oreal foundations and this one is another consistant performer.

The packaging for this foundation was clear which is ideal and was topped with a pump which is the way I like my foundation bottles.

The product itself gives a light to medium coverage which lasts relatively well on its own and even better when set with powder.

As the product promises it blends well into the skin, but obviously you still have to get the right shade for the blending to look natural.

I also really like the SPF component to the foundation and the range of shades available.

I think it's a really good standard foundation.
