True colour match

I'm on a mission to find that perfect foundation and I am getting rather annoyed with half bottles and trying every brand that is readily available. For years, before my skin was dry and manky and with the added bonus of lines I went through bottle after bottle of L'Oreal infallible. So was more than excited to try this one. I have W4 natural beige.

The bottle is a little 30ml with a screw top lid. It has no pump just a big opening where the foundation comes out (rather fast too)

One thing I really liked about this foundation is it has an SPF 17, we all know the effects the sun has on our skin so the more creams and foundations we put on ourselves with an SPF in it the better.

The foundation itself is really runny. It almost runs off the back of my hand while I'm trying to apply it. I apply it using a brush then a blender and it looks good it has a light to medium coverage but I can't build it up anymore otherwise it gets far too cakey, which is my problem with this foundation its cakey and settles in lines with only a light amount of it on my skin. And I can promise I have tried different bases, no base, just moisturiser and nothing works. I never use a setting powder because it makes my skin look even more dry so i need a dewy or satin finish foundation and this definitely leans towards a matte finish.

This is beyond disappointing because the colour is perfect and matches my skin perfectly and as well as that it goes on and stays on I do get 6-7 hours wear out of it and it doesn't change or move but it is easy to remove with make up remover. I really think this would be a great foundation if you have young normal skin with no lines. And with that my search still continues....

True Match

This has been a favourite of mine for many years and will always be my foundation of choice. Worth every cent!

It has a fantastic range of colours to choose from, and is a super bendable foundation with build-able coverage.

I have never had an issue with this, it doesn't oxidise and doesn't rub off quickly, so I have nothing bad to say about it. I am a happy camper.

Tips: I probably would never (personally) use a sponge with this, only ever brushes (I use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush).

Loreal True Match foundation

Awesome foundation for everyday wear, is very light and blends into the skin very well. feels like you have nothing on and is more of a natural finish. it is a light - medium coverage i would say. however is very build able. i probably wouldn't wear out on big nights or occasions as i doesn't have the full coverage that i like.

Nice foundation

I like this foundation and use it alot! it gives a good natural coverage to the skin, blending really well and looking non cakey. The colour range for this foundation is really good and gives loads of options. I love a foundation with a pump and so glad when they re packaged it they added a pump sooooo much easier to use!!

Tips: I get mine from lookfantastic.com for half the NZ price ;)

L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Makeup

Very nice foundation. Having medium coverage and still natural. I like it has yellow undertone that helps with my current red/pimple skin. The price is a bit higher than other drugstore foundation but its worth.

Name says it all "Super- Blendable"

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.

My Holy Grail 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.

Tips: Make sure to moisturise as this foundation dries quickly.

In My Top 5 Favs!

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!

My true match

I brought this recently after getting a little bored of my usual Revlon foundation. I had read good reviews and hoped that it lived up to it! . I do like L'oreal products and its very handy (and tempting) that my local pharmacy around the road sells L'oreal!

First off, like other L'Oreal packaging, this bottle looks stylish and is convenient. I much prefer foundations which have a pump - not as much wastage and more hygienic.

N3 is the perfect colour choice for me and blends right into my skin. I love the lightweight feeling of this foundation and the natural finish. I really forget I'm wearing foundation with this. After applying this my partner commented on how good my makeup looked, so it must be good!

I find this foundation not as longwearing as Revlon, but I really am in love with this - a great foundation!

Starting to like this even more than my normal colorstay, which tends to be abit drying for my skin.

In comparison to other drugstore foundations, this would definitely be on the top of my list.

Tips: The matching concealer is also a great product!

Review

this foundation is one of the more recent one i have purchased and I'm really enjoying it ! i use it every day and you can use it for a lighter coverage , or if you want just layer it up to build into a full coverage , without looking cakey ! it honestly is SUPER blendable ! exactly what it says ! it just glides on so smoothly and is super easy to apply . you definitely have to powder it to make it last though . really like this foundation and it has a very natural finish compared to most foundations .

Tips: i apply all my foundation with normal foundation brushes (the sort of paint brush style ones) and then use a stippling brush to buff it into my skin , which makes it look super flawless !
