Welcome to the new "Acne Coverage Test" series. Last week I mentioned I may start a new series where I test the coverage of any foundation on the market and see how it performs covering acne. It's just so darn hard now-a-days to find a review of a foundation by someone with problematic skin. I'm the perfect candidate, so why not me?
For my first pick I actually grabbed a foundation I used quite often- The Loreal True Match Foundation. I didn't plan on starting my series right away but this morning I just had an urge to share the results of this foundation.
Three Layers Applied With Beauty Blender
I love how blendable it is and it's easy to build. Typically I use three layers of the foundation and don't notice any cakeyness. It does cover most of my problem areas but the coverage isn't completely full. I do still have big pimples that need to be covered with concealer. That's ok, though. Foundations that are full coverage usually look too cakey for me anyways. This one thankfully does not!
The wear time is actually really good. It will last on my combo skin for about 8 hours before breaking down. Almost always, my foundation breaks down within a couple hours because my skin is just so stubborn but I don't worry about that with this foundation. I can easily see it being my holiday foundation. I really look for one during the holidays that keeps up with me on my busiest day of the year. No girl has time to worry about her makeup!
How does it compare to others? Well, it's not the fullest coverage I have tried but it has enough coverage for me to feel comfortable wearing it. I also like how natural the True Match looks. Even though I wear a lot of it, it doesn't bunch up or look too cakey. I'm totoally head over heels for it. The shade selection is really good... Hence the name true match. It's also affordable at only $9.99.( click here to purchase) The packaging is functional. I wish it included a pump but I'm ok with pouring it onto the back of my hand.
I'm for sure going to repurchase this when I run out. Honestly, I love this foundation so much, it makes me want to try the new Loreal True Match Cushion Foundation. Future participant.. Hmm?
