REVIEW | L'Oreal True Match Foundation

I feel an impending sense of guilt as a begin to write this post as I haven't posted for six. whole. days. that sounds unnecessarily dramatic but it is the longest that I haven't posted. Let's just say it finally dawned on me that May is round the corner and my ten exams aren't going anywhere. Anyway instead of trying to make you feel sorry for me I'm going to review my current foundation- L'Oreal True Match. It is almost empty and when I was deciding whether to re-purchase (after my spending ban of course) I decided what I really thought about the product.

L' Oreal claims:

The silky texture of True Match blends seamlessly with the skin. It automatically adjusts to the texture of the skin to create a flawless finish.  In 20 true-to-skin shades across warm, cool and neutral tones, True Match super-blendable liquid foundation perfectly matches the colour and texture of your skin, hiding imperfections with its fine, creamy texture. The result: Flawless coverage.

Now this product has been slightly raved about in the beauty world and I do think it is worth the hype. My shade is N8 Cappucino and although it is a tad dark for my skin once blended in it isn't at all noticeable. The vast majority of shades with various undertones means that you are very likely to find a shade that matches your skin perfectly. 

I will start off with the bottle itself, the pump dispenser is very handy and allowing you to get just the right amount of product out without all of that pouring malarkey. The packaging is also pretty nice for a drugstore foundation with the glass bottle giving it a high-end feel. 

Aside from the bottle the foundation itself is one of my favourites. It blends in super easily and you can hardly feel it on your skin as it's not at all heavy. I would say the coverage is medium but definitely build-able depending on the coverage you want. 

The finish is quite dewy (although I think this depends on your skin type, some bloggers have said it's matte) without looking oily and has an extremely natural finish. As well as all of the above it lasts pretty much all day and has never melted off of my face (we'll see about that in Summer), although I touch it up with powder now and again on some days. 

My only critique on the product is that applying it sometimes can be a bit messy, I used to put it on the back of my hand and then apply it with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush but it is so runny that that didn't really work.

Overall I love this foundation and will definitely be repurchasing. For £9.99 it is a bargain!
