L’OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH FOUNDATION and COMPACT POWDER REVIEW



Hi Beauties,
In this post I am going to talk about one of the global Favourite brands – L’Oréal Paris. There are 2 products from the #true_match range. So, these are not at all new products but I finally used them first time: -
  
1.     L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation in the shade #6.N Mel Honey.

2.     L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable perfecting powder, in shade G.5/W.5 Golden Sand.



I have been waiting to try these after hearing so much about them, seems to be very popular among the beauty bloggers. So were they hit for me or not? Read on to find out guys.


PRODUCT 1.  L’OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH FOUNDATION



WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS: -
·       Micro-Match Technology
·       Shade Micro-Precision- true to skin shade capture your skin tone and undertone.
·       Skin micro-perfection – Ultra fine pigments provide the perfect coverage without caking to naturally beautify your skin.
·       Super Blendable
·       24 Hour Hydration
·       Dermatologically tested
·       Non comedogenic

HOW TO USE?
Apply all over face using brush or sponge. Best results for all day wear: prep skin with a primer


PRICE: - MRP Rs. 799 for 30 ml (valid for 3 years from Mfd. date).


PACKAGING: -



L’Oreal Paris True Match Foundation comes in a hard glass bottle with silver pump packaging. It has a transparent plastic cap and shuts with a click. I really like the Pump-dispenser which is convenient to use and hassle-free, and the transparency helps to see how much product is left in the bottle. Glass bottle may be risky but better than plastic bottles.


SHADE: -



Normally, we can see two or three shades of foundation in the market but “L’Oréal” provided us with 13 shades to choose from fair to medium to dusky skin tones. Mine is in the shade mel Honey #6.N which is suitable for medium to tanned skin. So dusky beauties might just find this the perfect shade.


TEXTURE & FINISH: -




This foundation has a liquid consistency suitable for perfect blending. It contains micro glitter particles but they are really atom-small and only enhances the glow. Please do not think of the chunky glitters at all. They look superb in the skin. The texture is like silk which blends amazingly into the skin.


COVERAGE: -



Okay so this foundation is amazzzziinggg you guys!!!!
The coverage is medium to heavy coverage. I used a foundation blending brush to apply the foundation. The micro particles gives amazing healthy glow. Now you know why actors like Sonam Kapoor promotes it.


LONGEVITY: -

It stays intact for 7-8 hours easily. I used it in office and was quite impressed with the performance and long-lasting formula of this foundation. Quite effective and long lasting.


AVAILABILITY: -
You can easily get it in any retail stores as well as online. I got at a discount from nykaa.com

ADVANTAGES: -

·       It is available in 13 shades.
·       It is suitable for both dry and oily skin beauties.
·       Mattified effect with healthy glow
·       Easy to blend
·       Has SPF 17
·       Non comedogenic
·       Medium to high coverage
·       It is long-lasting(easily for 8-10 hours) in normal weather.

       DISADVANTAGES: -

  •    Budget might be an issue for college youngsters.


FINAL VERDICTS: -

Omg this foundation is a holy grail foundation ladies. I am quite late to try out this. Always wanted to try but now I know why its so popular worldwide. The L’OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH FOUNDATION is a lovely product. The texture melts like butter in the skin while giving a healthy glow. My skin is normal type (sometimes lil dry) and this product gives the perfect matte yet glowy look. The most attractive point is its shade range that too at such a price tag is a steal. As L’Oréal says it’s definitely WORTH IT!!!!!


OVERALL RATINGS: -  5/5


PRODUCT 2.  L’OREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH SUPER-BLENDABLE PERFECTING POWDER




WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS: -

“Do-good powder with natural origin ingredients and mineral pigments. It improves skin quality day by day. Super-blendable, silky touch, all day natural matte finish.”


HOW TO USE: -

Using the given applicator, apply all over face using delicate descending strokes. You can apply it alone or over the base.

PRICE: -
MRP Rs. 725/- for 9g (valid for 3 years from Mfd. date)


PACKAGING: -




The powder comes in a classy silver lining plastic case. The front is transparent offers a window into the item with loreal true match name. You'll see a tab beneath the dish, lift it up and it uncovers a nice estimated reflect mirror and a round puff. But I don't like the need for flipping the sides which becomes really hectic for application.


TEXTURE and SHADE: -



My shade number is G.5/W.5 Golden Sand (for medium tanned skin). This compact powder has a good velvety texture. Being a medium-tan skin girl I had an issue with the whitish cast as in most of the powders but to my pleasant surprise, this compact has got none of it. These come in 8 variety of shades for everyone to choose from.

COVERAGE:-

The coverage is very natural. Due to the fine finish, the powder sinks into the finest of lines. I wouldn't repurchase this powder because it gives very light coverage. I always prefer a medium-high cover compact to avoid touch-ups.


STAYING POWER:-

It is not a long stay compact you guys. It stays up to 2-3 hours. Touch-ups are required.

AVAILABILITY: -

You can easily get it in retail stores as well as online at Nykaa.com

ADVANTAGES: -

1.     Classy packaging.
2.     Good for the skin as it is dermatologist tested.
3.   No whitish cast on skin, natural finish.
4.   Comes in 8 variety of shades.

DISADVANTAGES: -

1.     Very light coverage
2.     Quite costly for a compact powder.
3.     Does not justify the value for money.
4.     Did not fulfil my expectations as a brand value.
5.     In the package, the mirror is at the back because of which you have to flip it for constant use. 

FINAL VERDICTS: -

The L’Oreal Paris True Match super-blendable perfecting powder is an average quality product. But as per the brand image and price is concerned it failed to satisfy me. Coverage could have been a bit more as per the price is on a higher side in India. I will not repurchase it again. But anyways you guys can give it a shot once and let me know whether it worked out for you or not.


OVERALL RATINGS: - 2/5

Hello guys! Welcome back to my blog. I am Urmila Karmakar and today I'm gonna share with you my personal makeup experience from the basic Drugstore brand to high-end professional brand available in India. To my old readers you already know but to the new visitors let me tell you I got middle-tan skin tone and finding the perfect shade in India is a tough challenge.
