I picked this foundation up on a whim, as the foundation I had gone into store to purchase was out of stock. After browsing through all of the brands, I finally decided on buying this one. Let’s just say that I’m glad I did, as I have been really enjoying using it.
This is my L’Oreal True Match Foundation Review.
The Claims:
Super blendable.
Medium coverage.
24 hour hydration.
Skin matching technology
Natural skin like finish
SPF
The Packaging:
It’s packaged in a sturdy glass bottle, and it comes with a pump. Even though I do find the dispenser slightly annoying, as you can press it and it stays down. Which means getting more than one pump out can be a bit of a pain. Saying that you get a decent amount of product out with one pump, so it isn’t the biggest issue. As it’s not like you need to pump it five times.
The Shade Range:
L’Oreal are really showing the other drugstore brands up, as this foundation comes in a whopping 48 shades. Which is a really nice change, as a lot of affordable makeup only comes in a handful of shades. The foundation also claims to have a skin matching technology with up to six different pigments. Which means everybody should be able to find a shade that matches them.
The Formula:
This foundation is rather watery, and I apply it with a buffing brush. I’ve never had any problems applying it this way, as it gives a flawless finish.
It has medium coverage, with a natural slightly glowy finish. I have had problems with this clinging to dry patches, so I have to make sure that I’ve prepped my skin well before applying. Which is something I wasn’t expecting since it does contain hyaluronic acid.
I find that this foundation isn’t extremely long lasting and does start to break down the longer the day goes on. Primer is a step that I usually skip, but with this I find that it benefits from one, as it helps it last just that little bit longer.
Even though this foundation requires a little bit of work, it’s worth it. I love how it makes my skin look. It evens out skin tone and gives a fresh natural finish; which is great for day to day.
The Price:
This foundation costs £9.99, which I don’t think is bad at all. I’m sure you can get it on offer too, as there are often 3 for 2’s going on, in places like Boots. It’s a great option to go for, but if you’d prefer something a little cheaper, I’ve also reviewed the Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation.
That was my L’Oreal True Match Foundation Review.
