Make me matte!

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.

Stays matte, great for oily skin, very infallible

I have oily skin, and I've tried so many foundations that promise to stay matte throughout the day, yet they've all ended up going shiny and oxidizing on my skin after a few hours. This foundation is the only one that I've found to truly stay matte.

I own the shade Rosy Beige, which is a perfect match for my skin tone. The foundation comes in a lightweight tube (ideal for travelling). The tube is transparent so it's easy to see how much product remains. The tube looks classy and the product is dispensed through a nozzle, that ensures you get the right amount, so there's no wastage with this product. I've had this for 4 months and this still seems full, so a little goes a long way, which makes the retail price not so bad.

This is very lightweight, so you can easily build this up for fuller coverage. I would have liked this to have slightly fuller coverage like the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation, but this is my only gripe. This blends very easily and doesn't oxidize and go orange on my skin. When used with its corresponding primer and no setting powder, this stays matte on my skin all day long. I really liked that aspect of this product as it allows me to skip spending money on setting powder as its not needed with this, this really stays matte all day long. However, when used with a couple of my setting powders, this didn't stay matte at all, so I think this only works without powder on top.

Not only does this stay matte on my oily skin, it really is long-wearing and infallible. I actually did test this out for 24 hours as I had three event sin one day to go to. At one event I ended up crying happy tears, and this still looked fine, I then went swimming and sweated a lot (I didn't put my head underwater though) and went to a party til the wee hours of the morning and this was still on and looked good. So this really is infallible and matte, as long as you skip the setting powder.

I would use this again, as this has been the best foundation I've ever tried for oily skin and the only one I've found not to turn into a slimy orange mess on my skin within hours. While this is more than I'd like to pay for a foundation, the product lasts a long time so I don't mind paying that for a great product.

Tips: Don't use setting powder with this, it lasts longer on its own.

New HG

I've just gone on maternity leave and decided earlier this year that I needed to find a cheaper foundation than the double wear I use almost daily. My sister recommended this and I am absolutely in love with it! Not only can I pick it up cheap for almost a quarter of the price online it matches my.skin tone even better than my double wear and it blends like a dream! The colour is perfect, price is right, long lasting (albeit not quite as well as my DW), blends well, I am so impressed!

Matte Foundation

I choose this foundation as a full coverage foundation (even though it says medium on it, it's as full coverage as my previous full coverage foundation). What I was looking for, was something that was long lasting, had good coverage and was paraben free. This foundation ticked all these boxes.

I chose the matte tube over the pump version, because I was a bit over uncooperative pump bottles and I prefer a matte foundation.

I apply with either my fingers or my artiste foundation blurring brush. Both get a good long lasting coverage, but I think the brush does it slightly better.

Overall the foundation doesn't cake and lasts all day, but you do need to set it to keep it in place all day.

The tube it comes in has a fine tipped nozzle at the end which gives controlled amounts of foundation. What I don't like about the tube, is that I can't see how much foundation is left.

I also found all the shades available really similar to each other and they all seemed to be in the light/medium to medium/dark range, they didn't seem to really cater for light or dark skin.

My go-to summer foundation!

Been on the hunt for a long-lasting, medium to full coverage foundation for a while, and this one's hands-down the best for living up to its claims and value for money. Got this and the Infallible Matte Powder and have since repurchased both. Wore this at a summer wedding, entirely outdoors and this lil' baby stayed put! It makes my skin look flawless and doesn't cake even at the end of the day. Have tried the Lancome Double Wear and I still much prefer this, and at drugstore prices why not?

Tips: I prefer to apply with with my fingers and finish off with a Beauty Blender; a primer is always a must for me, as I have a super oily T-zone. Probably not suited for dry skin as its mattifying; in the wintertime I sometimes mix it with a bb-cream, as indoor heating is brutal.

The only foundation that doesn't slide off my face

I'm nearly at the end of my first tube of this and I've been really happy with it. I don't need to use powders like I do with other foundations and BB creams I've tried and it says on around my oily t-zone. It also doesn't rub off onto my glasses as bad as others either. The colour match to my skin is pretty spot on as well.

The only negatives I have is - no spf (which in this day and age I find strange) and it doesnt do anything for your skin (such as anti-aging properties etc).

good foundation

This foundation has great coverage and has a beautiful finish. It isn't entirely matte, but that's what I love about it. Covers all your imperfections well yet still looks natural. Helps with keeping the oil away too! Can wear for a good 8-10 hours still looking decent on my face.

Good foundation

I bought this foundation not long after it came out, it wasn't super expensive, but it wasn't super cheap either. Even though its matte it didn't stick to any dry patches I might have had, or look cakey, like I was wearing too much foundation. If I ran out of the foundations, (I have a problem), I'd buy this one again!
