Hello Gems and Jewels!
Today’s review is on L’Oreal’s True Match foundation. With L’Oreal being one of the most expensive
drugstore foundations besides Covergirl, I was a little skeptical as to whether
it would actually be worth the price and if they could live up to their 100%
match guarantee. Well beauties I am
happy to say it is so worth the price! The
packaging of this foundation is labeled “super-blendable makeup” so imagine my
facial expression when I finally decided that I would in fact purchase and try
this “True Match” foundation.
L’Oreal’s True Match makeup
comes in 33 shades and is nicely broken down into the warm, cool and neutral
undertones of one’s skin. I have to say
that once again I was able to pick the correct color on my first try. I could tell right from the bottle that this
matched my complexion. They even have a
little test to help you figure out what your undertones are. Apparently the 7 years of research that they
put in the product has not been in vain.
When I first applied my True
Match foundation in “W8” with a stippling brush and no primer, this makeup
glided onto my skin very well. It wasn’t
until I finished applying it that I remembered that I didn’t apply a primer;
needless to say I just proceeded with my look for the day. I did apply True Match a second time with a
very good primer and it still blended very well into my skin. When you apply this foundation it feels very
lightweight and once you start blending it you will see how natural True Match
looks on your skin. This foundation
offers a light to medium coverage while still managing to look very
natural. Overall I am very satisfied
with the outcome. I wore this foundation twice for approximately 4 hours each
and I did notice some oil in my t-zone area but that can be fix with either
setting powder after you have applied the makeup or blot powder.
Pros: They have a wide range
of shades to choose from (can be slightly overwhelming at first). True Match foundation does feel very silky when
you apply it and it blends out so easily that it’s almost unbelievable. It also dries down quickly if you want to
reapply another layer if you choose. I
will note that I generally have very good skin to begin with but during this
particular season, I get skin eczema flare-ups. I happened to have several patches on my
face during the time that I wore the foundation and I didn’t get any additional
irritation from wearing True Match!
Cons: It is a little more expensive
($10.00) than most drugstore foundation but L’Oreal does offer a money back
guarantee if you cannot find your True Match foundation. L’Oreal did not include a pump with this
product so you will have to pour it on the back of your hand and risk possible
pouring too much and making a mess! If does have a slight makeup smell but that quickly fades away.
My Recommendation: I have normal to combination skin usually and
I did notice some oily spots but nothing out of the ordinary. I would say that L’Oreal’s True Match will
definitely benefit dry skin simply because of the consistency of the product
but I recommend that all skin types give it a try with a good primer and a good setting powder and you will be happy with the results. As for my oily beauties, I suggest that you
try it as well but without a primer and with a setting powder. Then if you have a mattifying primer, I would
suggest applying it before you apply your True Match foundation. Beauties, this one is a winner, give it a try and let me know what you think! Thanks Melanie for keeping me up and remembering all the products I used!
