Recently bought this foundation not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised by it, it has a nice amount of coverage, doesn't look cakey and mattifies amazingly. However when I wore this in hot weather i found that at the end of the day it had all come off my nose and needed touching up between my brows and on my cheeks as it had separated a bit but considering the heat it stayed on quite well. I've since used this foundation again in cooler weather where it had better staying power. Although I found it still seperated a little due to my oily skin type. Overall it's a nice foundation, but does need to be touched up throughout the day if you have oily skin.

I love this foundation so much! It is everything a person with oily/combination skin would want in a drugstore foundation. It comes in a plastic bottle that is great for travelling with. It has a fine-tipped nozzle that makes it easy to control how much product you squeeze out.
The coverage of this foundation is medium according to the packaging, but it is not far off being full. However it doesn't feel cakey at all. In fact it feels quite lightweight when I apply it with a beautyblender. Usually it takes only an hour before my nose starts to get a bit oily, but with this foundation it takes nearly the whole day before I start to look even a little bit oily. It lasts very well when I wear it, and it doesn't fade or appear patchy. I still set this foundation with a powder though.
My only problem with this foundation is that the lightest shade they stock in New Zealand is too dark for my very pale skin. I currently have the shade Vanilla, but I know that they sell an even lighter shade in other countries. If they stocked the shade Porcelain here, I would be over the moon with joy! At the moment I can only use this foundation if I have fake tanned or if I mix it with a lighter colour.
I really hope that with winter coming up that L'Oreal will consider stocking this foundation in the lighter shade. If they did I would update this review to 5/5 because that is the only thing preventing me from leaving a perfect review.
I love trying out new foundations, but I always seem to keep coming back to this foundation. It has the best coverage, lasts all day and does not transfer. If I had to compare this to a high-end foundation it would be Estee Lauder Double-Wear, thats how good it is! I have already recommended this to my friends enough, I do have to caution however that if you do not like 'matte' or 'full coverage' foundations or do not like the Estee Lauder Double-Wear foundation, then you will not like this foundation, however IF YOU DO like all three of these things, then you will love this.
Tips: I use it both with a beauty blender and a foundation brush and it both applies beautifully, when I set with powder and setting spray, it still does not cake up on me.
I love this foundation. I have extremely oily skin, to the point that throughout the day I have to constantly blot my face & re apply my powder. This stays on, stays matte, controls shine & makes my skin look amazing & doesn't run off throughout the day. The coli=our suits me really well. Nothing bad to say about this foundation. I LOVE IT!!!!
This foundation is very very matte. Even on my oily/combination skin it can look a little dry and cakey. however, with a moisturising primer it looks so flawless and beautiful! The foundation lasts all day long and still looks flawless at the end of the day. I love it!
Tips: If your skin is already quite dry, use a moisturising primer as it will help the foundation sit better
I recently brought this as I love L'Oreal products especially foundations. I have been looking for a matte foundation for a while now as I prefer a matte finish especially in the cooler months so I saw this at farmers and decided to buy it and give it a go.
When I applied this (as when I use all matte foundations) I always apply a primer first so it doesn't dry out my skin. I applied a primer by Moisture Mist first as a base. I then applied the foundation using my flat top kabuki brush. The foundation applies like a dream and glides on my face, the primer helps a lot too. I haven't tried it with out primer as I don't want it to be drying. It lasts all day and all night. The coverage is medium and buildable and the finish is quite flawless which I like. I love how nice this makes my skin look all day long. Its so easy to blend too.
I haven't found a flaw in this foundation. Its easy to apply and easy to remove. It works on my sensitive skin and the coverage is amazing! I recommend giving this a go!
Tips: Try using a primer first so the foundation doesn't dry out. It makes it easy to glide on as well.
L'oreal is one of my favourite mid-priced brands, I've tried many of their foundations, lipsticks and blushes and been impressed in the past. When I heard people raving about how great this foundation was, I couldn't wait to try it.
First of all, I'm a lover of full coverage foundations- Estée Lauder double wear, MAC prolong wear and the list goes on. I had heard this was as good, but for a fraction of the price. So, this sold me!
The tube super stylish, black and sleek. It is made of plastic, and is sturdy. I like that it's not breakable, and can easily be popped in my bag. The tube reminds me of the new MAC prolong wear nourishing foundation- it is just so similar.
My skin tends to be of the dry type, although my skin has improved greatly lately due to the skincare I've been using. So, I would say it's currently normal.
As usual, I always use my moisturiser and wait for it to dry and then apply primer. Afterwards I apply this foundation by using my RT brush. Ip the formula is nice and buildable on my skin.
It's so easy to apply and it feels comfortable on the skin. The consistency feels nice and it doesn't feel too thick, like some high coverage foundations do.
Although it covers imperfections so well it feels lightweight on your skin and it really lasts during the day. I really loved the beautiful finish it gave to my skin. It gave me such a flawless, matte finish that just made my skin look so nice.
BUT...unfortunately, after using this for awhile, it just doesn't agree with my sensitive skin and I had a reaction. This was so disappointing as it's such a lovely foundation, and if it had agreed with my skin it would be getting five stars.
I got this on special at makeup.co.nz & was happy when it arrived. I have the shade rose beige & will have to go up a shade during summer or load on the bronzer & contour to keep with my summer tan I develop. A tube that's partially see thru but has its brands logo & writing on the remainder of the tip which is red & black. The lid is black of which the tube sits flat on. The lid is a screw top & the dip ender is a tiny nozzle that's quite thin, not typical of any foundation I've ever come across. Contents: A thin liquid that requires shaking prior to use to ensure the oil substance is mixed otherwise it comes out quite oily. Other then that the fluid is thin. Effects this liquid is light to touch & means it's also light weight it claims to have a matte finish with full coverage. The coverage is a medium to full being that it's buildable for full coverage. It doesn't feel velvety at all but the appearance it gives is a matte finish. I found it leaves a nice finish and is easy to blend either with a blending sponge or a stipple brush. When applying concealer onto the face, the concealer doesn't move the foundation at all. So that's a plus for this foundation. Whilst layer on bronzer,contour,highlighter & blush these all blend in seamlessly without interrupting the foundation another advantage. For the stay power it seems to hold up to the humidity of spring & sat quite well I actually spent half a day in the direct sunlight and only a slight glisten of my face from the sun exposure & around my nose area needed a bit of touch up with my setting powder also where my sunglasses had been sitting on my cheeks just needed a slight touch up. Then I went on to cool tea for our kids club which involved some very hot humid temperatures of both the ovens& the industrial dishwasher. I went home after 8pm & still had a good coverage with now a dewy appearance. So this foundation has some good stay power with both the matte finish & the 24hours claims I can't guarantee 24hours due to not wearing it for that long but I'll give it a A+ for the performance it did for my fotd. What I'd like is a pump bottle or nozzle at the end of the tube for dispensing it would make ime product that much better.
I wanted to try matte foundation after hearing how good a matte finish is. I got my bottle through Trade me because I wanted to get a bargain for this foundation. I'm on a foundation hunt, Im looking for something that I can put on and it could last me all day without fading out. Also wanting to hide my uneven skintone and dark circles. I have seen alot of make up artists online using this and I wanted to find out whether I would like it or not.
This foundation comes in a a sturdy foundation tube. It has the Loreal labelling it looks very current. It comes in a 35ml bottle which isn't very big at all. The colour I got is Honey 30. On the back of the bottle it says its a medium texture with a high coverage. It has an example on the back of this tube of how to apply it. I agree that the texture is medium and it is liquid. No scent at all to.
With application I find it smooth out nicely with both a brush and blender. I like to try both depending on how I feel. This claims its 24 hours. It didnt last me twenty four hours. I did try and test it on several occasions and it did fade out for me. It had a slight powder finish to it after a few hours. Im still searching for my miracle foundation. I think it is highly priced for a drug store brand. I really wanted it to work for me. I definately won't be getting it again. Even though it did'nt work for me it might work for you.
Love this new foundation! Great coverage, lasts well and does a good job keeping me shine free. My only complaint is that the lightest shade is slightly too dark for me, especially in winter, so a wider range of shades would be good.
