L'Oréal True Match Foundation

I got this foundation after watching Lauren Curtis use it, but was a little disappointed. The coverage I would rate as a 6/10. I have to apply quite a bit to get a good flawless coverage. I found it also becomes greasy quite fast, within at least a couple of hours so is not very long-wearing on my skin, however it may be better on other people. But I do like the fact that it is quite a thin formula and doesnt feel extremely caky like some liquid foundations.

It seemed that every makeup loving man and his dog owned, and loved, this foundation. I had always avoided it however, because I have rather dry skin and only ever used foundations marketed towards dry skin.

One day I decided to swatch this and it seemed surprisingly creamy, so I took the plunge and picked it up in the shade R3-C3. Turns out this was a little too pink and a little too dark (damn you, Farmers lighting!), so I have since acquired N2 and I mix the 2 shades for my perfect match.

It's a really natural finish, you can still see my freckles etc so this is not the foundation for you if you're after a super full coverage, which makes it perfect for work days.

For me, I don't set it with powder and it lasts all day long. Someone with oily skin would probably need to use powder though. It has a really nice satin finish and doesn't cling to any of my dry patches.

I LOVE that they have warm, cool and neutral shades. It makes it super easy to figure out what you need. I'm stoked that I've discovered this foundation, as it is half the price of my previous day to day foundation!

This foundation feels so light and silky on your skin. It really lives up to it's word when it says super blendable and you can apply a light layer for a more natural sheer look or apply a heavier coat for more coverage. The pump is easy to use and a little goes a long way. Love this foundation and I have tried many but this is my fave so far!

I picked this up recently when going through Duty Free. They had L'Oreal half price and I was in the market for a new foundation anyway. I was tempted by the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua but I couldn't walk past something half price and ended up with this.

I picked this up in R1.C1 Rose Ivory which is a great shade for me. It isn't often that I can find a foundation that is the right shade for me, so often they might not be quite pale enough, or has the wrong undertone. But I am very impressed by this.

I love the packaging. Nice and simple, but still very practical. The bottom part is glass that you can see the product through. The top has a silver plastic pump which feels a bit cheap, but is very practical and nice for the price. Then a clear plastic lid that does feel quite secure. The pump is very good and seems to dispense just the right amount of product to cover my face.

The formula of this is very thin which I love, means it really sinks into my skin. I usually use my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply this. It really sinks into my skin really well. I find it works into my skin really well. I usually set this with a powder so I can't talk about its longevity by itself, but with powder I find it still looks good at the end of the day. It gives what I would call a medium finish, but it is quite build-able.

I am really impressed by this foundation and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends if they can find the right shade for them.

The best foundation i have ever used! The colour range is incredible and I feel like they really cover every single skin tone. It is quite a thin consistency however still gives a good coverage that is easy to build to a full coverage. It doesn't at all feel cakey and leaves such a nice smooth appearance on your skin.

Never have I found a drugstore foundation that properly matched my yellow undertones as they usually lean pink, until this one. The shade W4 catered perfectly to my NC35/40 skin without the slightest hint of pink. This made this foundation stand out from all the others, but other notable things I personally liked was:

- the shade range catered for skin undertones whether you are warm, cool or neutral and gave light to dark shades for each one.

- coverage is easily buildable - this one is definitely a light to medium coverage but can be built up some more if you're after a fuller coverage.

- this foundation blends like a dream - whether you use clean hands, a foundation brush, stippling brush or beauty blender, it looks great and is easy to blend.

- the pump keeps it nice and hygenic

I think this might just be my new go to foundation. I really like the results I have been getting with this 'Super-Blendable' foundation.

I love that this foundation comes with a pump applicator, its means no mess and no fuss which I love. The product is not too runny and very, very easy to apply.

The colour builds ups really well on my skin meaning I can have a light to medium coverage with a little product or full coverage if I apply more. I didnt have problems with caking but towards the very end of the day it did go a little patchy.

I love the colour selection, you can also blend with other colours for an even better match.

I really did love this foundation overall how it did have its down sides. I felt this foundation was very easy to build up on coverage which is normally a huge plus when it comes to foundation however I felt because it was so easy to build up if very quickly became cakey looking and i often found myself having to take of my make up and start again. Also i have very large pours and I found that because of how lightweight and almost watery this foundation was it sunk into my pours so i would suggest always always always wearing a primer with this foundation. On the plus side this foundation comes in such a huge range of colours you are almost certain to get the perfect shade for you skin. I always go to back to foundation in warmer weather as it is so lightweight and almost feels like I'm wearing nothing on my skin. It is also incredibly long wearing and is perfect if you have a busy day and do not have time to touch up your foundation throughout the day. Overall I would recommend this foundation however I would say it is more suited to individuals with normal or dry skin.

This is such a lovely foundation! So easy to blend and easy to apply looks great with sponge or brush. For school I usually just use a sponge for a more natural faster application. It has a great range of colours and I found one which matches yellow undertones perfectly! I always get compliments when I wear this, its light weight and gives a really nice skin like finish. I love this foundation would always recommend :)

This foundation is really really versatile for so many skin types and skin tones! The shade range is extensive, the coverage is really decent yet still looks natural, and it applies with anything! It often still looks fine without primer underneath too.

Only cons are that I find it dries really quickly so you need to work fast, and it can stick slightly to dry patches.
