This suited my needs perfectly. \nIt blended like a dream. Didn’t settle into any lines or creases, evened my skin tone(I have hyperpigmentation) and hif any imperfection subtly but significantly. \nI am yet to have anyone ask me if I’m wearing foundation because the match is that good. \nThe glass bottle is sanitary and the pump dispenses the correct amount of product for a foundation novice like myself. \nI have oily skin but have always liked a dewy fresh look to my skin and this does everything and then some.

I've read good reviews about L'Oreal Paris True Match foundation so thought I would try it. This is a liquid foundation that comes in 15 different various warm, neutral and cool shades to suit all types of skin tone so finding a shade to suit my skin was easy.\n\nIt comes in a 30ml pump bottle that is easy to dispense and makes it hygienic.

This is a liquid foundation that comes in 15 different various warm, neutral and cool shades to suit all types of skin tone so finding a shade to suit my skin was easy.\n\nIt comes in a 30ml pump bottle that is easy to dispense and makes it hygienic. Before applying the foundation, I cleanse my face and make sure it's clean, use some moisturiser and then a primer to help keep it looking fresh all day and make it last longer. The foundation is easy to apply with my fingers but I prefer to use a foundation brush or a damp beauty blender to give a professional result and make sure it looks smooth and even on my face.\n\nThe foundation is lightweight and doesn't feel heavy on my skin at all, it actually feel like I'm not wearing any foundation. It glides onto my skin silky smooth, is really easy to blend and looks very natural with a dewy finish. It doesn't look or feel cakey on my skin and best of all doesn't clog my pores and it lets my skin breathe.\n\nI found the coverage to be light to medium but the foundation is also very buildable so is great for days that I might need just a little more cover. I found it covered all my imperfections - redness, uneven skin tone etc well and gave me a flawless look. The foundation has a subtle shimmering glow to it so if you don't like that effect then this might not the right foundation for you. The foundation has great staying power and lasted all day for me and at the end of the day, it still looked great, even in hot weather where other foundations would have melted off.\n\nMy tip is to use a damp beauty sponge instead of a dry one to apply this liquid foundation as it will blend more easily and the make up wouldn't absorb into your sponge. Also if you tend to tan more easily in Summer and be darker then choose a different shade for Summer and Winter to match your skin tone. Your skin also tend to be more dry in Winter and sweatier in Summer so choose a foundation to match these needs. Another great tip is to remember to bring the foundation down and blend it into your neck as well because you want that beautiful seamless look from face to neck instead of two different colour.\n\nChoosing the right foundation for my skin is important because it forms the base for my make-up and can make my skin look really great or if I choose the wrong one, will look awful and cakey and really obvious. I really liked this foundation and found it met all my requirements and the colour matching to my skin tone was good and pretty accurate. I would recommend this foundation to anyone who wants a nice natural look at a good price. \n\nPROS:\n\nfeels lightweight on your skin and doesn't clog pores\nbuildable coveage\ngreat shade choices to suit all skin tone\ngood quality foundation at a good price\nsuitable for everyone\n

I am so glad I followed everyone's advice and picked this foundation up. For years I've heard every woman and their dog rave about this foundation but only just picked it up recently. After the first use I definitely felt the need to give myself a head-slap for waiting so long to try it. The first thing I noticed about this foundation was how many shades there were to choose from! I love that L'Oreal is becoming a brand that recognises the diversity in the human population, not just in skin colours, but undertones as well where the foundations ranged from cool, neutral and warm tones. It made me want to buy this foundation even more. The shade range made it really easy to pick a foundation that suited well for my skin. During Winter I am N2 Vanilla, but in Summer ... MoreI am so glad I followed everyone's advice and picked this foundation up.

It made me want to buy this foundation even more. The shade range made it really easy to pick a foundation that suited well for my skin. During Winter I am N2 Vanilla, but in Summer when I get more colour to my skin, I go into the warm shades with W3 Golden Beige.\n\nDon't let it's high coverage deter you if you are worried about it being heavy on the skin, because this is one of the lightest foundations in my collection with one of the most desirable consistencies and finishes. The texture and consistency is heaven. It literally feels like you are wiping butter on your face - it melts into the skin so easily and doesn't 'sit' on top of the skin like many other high coverage foundations can. This foundation has a formula that is also easily buildable if you want extra defence against your skin's imperfections, it can be built from a medium coverage to a full on high coverage finish. I think this would also make great stage makeup! If you want a lighter coverage, applying a small amount with a damp sponge is a great way to sheer it out for a more natural 'skin' look. This way, this foundation is easily customisable for every occasion from grocery shopping, up to formal events.\n\nThe finish is more on the 'glowy' side, but I wouldn't call it dewy. As someone with oily skin, I didn't find this to break up on my skin in my T Zone, nor did it make my skin look more shinier than usual. The finish is natural and glowy, neither matte nor dewy. Some have called it a matte finish but I think with this foundation it depends on your original skin type. \n\nFor me, with oily skin, I get about 6-8 hours of wear before it starts looking really oily from my own natural sebum production, and it's at this point where I feel like I need to defend my skin further with the use of another dose of setting powder. I generally don't like wearing foundations for too long on my skin, so foundations which claim 12+ hours wear time it's not really necessary. This foundation sits on my skin really well for the time I need it to. I haven't really extended the wear time past the 9 or 10 hour mark I don't think so I can't comment on that.\n\nOverall, this is one of the affordable foundations I always think of when someone asks me for a 'pharmacy' priced foundation that rivals high end foundations. As a foundation connoisseur, I have every confidence when I recommend this particular foundation because I really do think it is comparable to a lot of high end foundations but with a smaller financial burden. \n\n

I received this #freeproduct from @Lorealcanada to review. I came in a nice bottle. The packaging was nice and simple and sleek. I used this foundation in the day for a Zoom conference since that is the only time I have been wearing makeup these days. A little goes a long way. However I have acne prone skin so it is important to that have a enough coverage when I am breaking out. I like that this foundation is buildable and blends well with my blush. I also have dry skin from using acne products so I do like that this foundation contains hylauronic acid to help keep my skin moisturized. The formula is also breathable. It's also a drugstore foundation so it is affordable so you do get a good value. My only complaint is the colour I received was too light for my skin ... MoreI received this #freeproduct from @Lorealcanada to review. I came in a nice bottle.

I would consider purchasing this product in the future. I am giving in a 4/5 just because I still prefer my sephora brand foundation as my favourite because it matches my skin tone so perfectly. I have always loved Loreal products, especially its mascara. Loreal is always a favourite of mine.

I really wanted to like this product after reading lots of great reviews, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to work for me. I will say the colour match is great, maybe even the closest matching foundation I've ever used. The problem is with the formula. It's very runny and the coverage is light. I applied it with a beauty sponge and it clung to EVERY single hair on my face. My peach fuzz became crazy noticeable, it even made the teeny hairs on the end of my nose visible! It also filled into my pores and made them obvious and my pores aren't particularly large or anything. I tried to build a second layer with a brush but it didn't make much difference. If you have quite textured skin as I do, you may not enjoy this foundation. Disappointing, I'll be sticking ... MoreI really wanted to like this product after reading lots of great reviews, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to work for me.

Great but did not suit my skin!

I was so excited when I purchased this product as I always have a hard time find my shade with the correct undertone. This product has so many shades and I love how the shade range caters for all different undertones. My skin is light but a yellow undertone and the shade I picked up in this range was amazing. The cover is sheer to medium which suited me fine. If you want full coverage this may not be the foundation for you.I noticed that for my skin type it was a bit greasy by the end of the day and even though I set it with powder it was a lot more greasier than my other foundations I use during the work day. I was a little disappointed however there are other foundations in their range that suit my skin type better. If this works for you then it would be an ... MoreI was so excited when I purchased this product as I always have a hard time find my shade with the correct undertone.

L’Oréal foundation

I love I have had a couple of great compliments. Which said. ‘ what ever foundation you are using you should stay with. Because it’s the best match I’ve ever seen of your foundation. ‘ I have very light skin with red areas plus wrinkles being 60. I find it’s light as air going on very spreadable. Drys quickly and doesn’t sit in wrinkles excellent for older women.

L’Oréal was great

It was watery. But worked really well. I normally buy Ivory. Because if the great price I could try another shade. Golden Ivory. It’s a much better match than my usual shade. So I’m delighted to get a better match. Dries really fast. Excellent product

Value for money

Since I was a uni student L’Oréal was my go to foundation as it was so affordable and does a good job. I was excited to try L’Oréal foundation. It truly is long lasting, it stays on till I actually remove the foundation at the end of the day. It give me a flawless finish and covers all my blemishes and uneven areas. However my issue is the foundation range it too small, wish I carried more shades for ladies with yellow undertone. I always struggle finding my perfect shade so I always have to buy two shades to get the perfect mix.

a real match

I discovered this foundation because I heard one of the bloggers, who's opinion I trust, talk about it.I went to etos to check it out and was very surprised to see such wide variety of shades. I got this foundation in 1.N IVORY and it is such a good match - just like the name suggests.I am very pale and oftentimes makeup pulls too pink/orange on me. This shade works perfectly.The texture is very thin, yet it does have a good (radiant) matte coverage. I never feel like I'm wearing anything on my face with this foundation. I prefer applying it with a sponge, this way I get the most natural finish. It works well on top of all the skincare and primers I own.It promises your skin will look smoother and more radiant in two weeks - such a bold claim, but maybe it is ... MoreI discovered this foundation because I heard one of the bloggers, who's opinion I trust, talk about it.I went to etos to check it out and was very surprised to see such wide variety of shades.

I own it for quite some time and it's still intact.Long story short: it's a great foundation for a very affordable price - etos/kruidvat oftentimes have 1+1 on L'oreal. It's a longlasting, lightweight texture that will cancel out your imperfections. You can build it up or sheer it our.I can definitely recommend it and I once it's finished I will be repurchasing it again - that says a lot.
