L'OREAL TRUE MATCH FOUNDATION

Sunday, January 24, 2016




I just want foundation to sit on my skin and not look or feel like I'm wearing foundation. That's probably a little unreasonable.

This is what I'm thinking when I try out a new foundation: I want to apply this to my face to cover my redness and even out my skin tone, but I don't want to feel it and I don't want it to look like I'm wearing makeup.

That's probably too much to ask, but I do have some foundations I absolutely love (here's lookin' at you, L'Oreal Infallible!) so when I try a new one, I want it to be as good, or better than my current favorite.

I had heard so many good things about L'Oreal True Match foundation, and I finally gave into the hype a few months ago. I've been reaching for it more now that we're in the colder months; I found that using matte foundations every day was drying out my skin. Girl. Girl. This foundation is great, and I'll tell you why.

So, the packaging isn't anything fancy - but the formula is amazing. There are 24 shades, and 3 different skin tone variations to choose from within those shades (W - Warm, C - Cool, N - Neutral) so that you can find the perfect shade to match your skin tone.

This foundation has a liquid consistency, and goes on smooth when applied with a brush or damp sponge. It's is oil free, but also has a moisturizing and nourishing quality. This foundation won't cling to any dry patches, and can be sheered out or built up to a medium-full coverage. As always, you should set this foundation with a powder to ensure it will last all day.

REVIEW: L'OREAL INFALLIBLE PRO-MATTE FOUNDATION

Wednesday, November 25, 2015






I used to exclusively wear powder foundation because I couldn't stand the way liquid foundation felt on my face. I also couldn't find a liquid foundation that stayed on my face all day...and looked equally good at the end of the day as it did in the beginning. 

I can't bring myself to pay high-end prices for foundation. Let's be real: this is a product you use every day so you're going to go through it fairly quickly. Spend upwards of $20 on a foundation? No thanks.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation is the solution to all of these things. This foundation applies like a dream - applies beautifully with your hands, a beauty blender, or a brush.  Something I pay close attention to with liquid foundations is if it cakes up or applies unevenly - I specifically have an issue with foundations settling around the sides of my nose; no issues with that here. Amazingly, this product dries down to a matte-powder finish. What this means to you: you can go right in with bronzer, blush, and the like without setting it with a powder. The best part is that I can go straight from work to an evening outing with zero touch ups. Now that's amazing.

What is your favorite liquid foundation?
