Hi, everyone. Sorry I have been so MIA lately. I've been trying to post every Wednesday, but I have been so busy with all the wedding planning I still have left to do. It's seriously a 24/7 job ( at least it feels that way). Anyway, today I am going to be reviewing the L'oreal True Match Lumi Foundation. First off let me tell you a little bit about my skin. I have extremely dry skin for the most part. It is incredibly flakey on my chin and forehead. My cheeks can get somewhat flakey as well. My under eye area tends to be really dry as well, so makeup tends to look especially obvious around that area. Anyway, so I know this isn't the newest foundation out there, but I thought I would review it for those of us who don't buy things as soon as they come out. It's so hard to find foundation that looks good on my skin. I heard many raves about this product, so I thought I would give it a try and this is how it went:
Here is a picture of the product. I'm sure you are all familiar with it. It's pretty run and thin in consistency. The shade is a good match for me even though it looks drastically paler than my hand. It matches my face, trust me :)
Here is my before and after. As you can see, it definitely evens out my skin tone. It's pretty light coverage. It does a minimal job in terms of covering my acne scars as you can see below:
It's not exactly build-able either. It leaves a luminous finish like the name implies, but I always powder it and it only takes a little bit of the "dew" away. One thing I will say is that this can cling to dry areas. I find it best applies with a sponge, but still not my favorite foundation for dry skin, because it can cling to dry areas. It's also not at all long wearing, and becomes oily pretty quickly. I would say within about 2-3 hours I'm oily, and I have dry skin! Definitely not a product for oily skin. I wouldn't say this is the best foundation for dry skin, but it isn't the worst either. I think it's worth a shot. Maybe you have a better skin routine than I do, or a better moisturizer etc that might help. I will continue to use it because it does have SPF 20 and is pretty quick and easy to apply. Would I repurchase? Probably not. Hope this review was helpful.
Bottom Line: Not Impressed
