Life by Steph: L'Oreal True Match Foundation Review

I never actually tried this foundation up until about February of 2012

because whenever I would see it at Target or Walmart,

I would always think there wasn't much in the bottle!

I was perusing through YouTube one day and found that

Kandee Johnson's favorite foundation was this L'Oreal True Match foundation.

And she had a really cool application trick that I wanted to try...

I went out and bought it and these are my thoughts

I am in the color light ivory W2 (pale freak I know!)

and for the sides of the face for contouring I use W4

Pros:

As I said previously, I purchased this foundation back in February

and I am still on my first bottle as of today!

It has 1.0 fl oz just like most other drugstore foundations

It has 17 SPF which is perfect for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays

It is a very light-weight formula so you don't feel like you have cakey and heavy makeup on

VERY buildable.

I'll usually do one thin layer just to even out my skin tone, but

if I want more coverage i'll do two thin layers on areas that need it most

VERY wide color selection. Most I've seen for a drugstore foundation!

They have a whole wide selection for different undertones: cold (pink), neutral, and warm (yellow)

Easily accessible- you can find it at most drugstores

IT DOESN'T BREAK ME OUT.

It applies great with a beauty blender sponge

Cons:

I'd prefer a pump style bottle but this is one that you have to pour out.

at $9, I feel like it should almost be like a $7-$8 foundation...

You absolutely HAVE to use a primer under this foundation

because it will not last all day otherwise (on semi-oily skin).

You should also set it with a powder.

I don't put any setting powder on my cheeks because I like them to look more dewy,

but I do put powder on the middle of my forehead, nose, sides of nose, upper lip and chin

where I get most oily.

(I like this powder and the one for sensitive skin too)

If at 10am you prime your face, apply the foundation and a concealer on top, and set it with powder,

it should last almost all day

You will see a little bit of wear off by 8-10pm

would I repurchase?

yes :)

this was requested by a fellow beauty blogger Beauty On A College Budget
