My skin is naturally oily and it doesnt need much for it to be super shiny during the day. My skin is also acne ridden therefore I need a foundation that is full coverage to hid my pimples and my scars.
Sadly this foundation doesnt give me the full coverage I need for my skin needs. I need at least 2 layers of foundation to have my desired coverage and it makes shiny very quickly. By lunchtime my face has the look of dripping with oil and it not very great for your confidence.
I've used this foundation with a few primers and not even a primer would help combat the oily and shiny effect that this foundation has on my skin.
I do however find if I use this foundation for a few hours then it does it job for me. My go to foundation is Double wear but this is quite pricey so when I only need foundation for a few hours I will grab this foundation. This is definitely not a long wearing foundation either because I cant wear this foundation on a hot and humid day because it will melt right off my face.
This foundation just doesnt work for my oily skin for an entire days worth of wear but for a quick foundation its no problem therefore I would have to rate this foundation as average for my skin type.
I have been gifted this foundation but as it doesnt suit my skin I will not be purchasing this foundation.
I love Loreal and have found them to be a very trusted brand so far. This is the foundation that I use and love. The price is not too bad and you do get a decent amount of foundation in the bottle. I only use one pump and use and foundation brush, this one pump is enough for me to cover my face and down my neck. I do find that it can look a little oily in the summer but one I have used a setting powder it looks fine. It does not become blotchy at all and feels like it makes an even coverage. For me I personally like having a lighter coverage so this is great for me.
