I remembered how the first foundation that worked for me was
from L’Oreal so I dropped by their stall and asked for a good full coverage
foundation and was handed the L’Oreal le teint True Match in Nude Amber.
What are its claims?
One pump :) |
Spreading :) |
Blended :) |
It says in the bottle that it has SPF 17, which is a big
check, right? It also has Hyaluronic Acid, which will keep your skin hydrated
all day; has ultra-fine pigments for an even more precise match with our skin
tone; and outstanding, yes it says outstanding, coverage for a flawless natural
makeup coverage.
The Good Bits:
I like the aesthetic features of its glass bottle. It makes
the product look really classy and a definite must-see in your makeup pouch.
The price is reasonable, and although I bought it during a sale, I wouldn’t
mind buying the bottle again for its regular price. I think it’s a thousand
bucks and a bit more or barely a thousand bucks; either way, it’s worth it.
When it says that it has an outstanding coverage, it kids you not. I don’t use
any concealer and yet the foundation can do a great job in leaving my skin
looking flawless the whole day. I use one full pump to cover my whole face up
to my neck and half a pump for my under eye and some stubborn blemishes which
are still a bit visible; but aside from this, I don’t use any other products
for additional coverage. I’m all good! It lasts almost the whole day. I just
need a few retouch on my powder at the end of a day’s work and I’m good to go
out on a date! It’s easy to blend and doesn’t feel heavy on the skin; neither
would it dry your skin because of its hydrating ingredient – the Hyaluronic
Acid. Oh, and it kinda looks like it shimmers and glitters on your skin. It’s
so cute and pretty but I don’t know if you’d prefer it.
The Bad Bits:
Would it be harder to finish it up to its last drop because
of the glass bottle and pump feature? We’ll see. And be careful with the glass
bottle – as pretty as it may look, it’s still glass so don’t be too clumsy on
this one. The glittery and shimmery after effect – I don’t know if you’d prefer
it or not.
Over-All:
This is the foundation I’m currently in love with. I’m
giving it a rating of 10/10. Gives
me awesome coverage at a reasonable price plus lasts almost the whole day. For
now, I’m good. What foundation are you currently in love with? Share it with me

The Foundation Transformation:
No makeup or any products on my face |
One pump is enough for my whole face |
Blended! Done? Nah-ah! |
Half a pump more for my under eyes and other places with more noticeable blemishes and/or discoloration |
Blended. Better? Now, add makeup! |
FACE: L'Oreal Paris le teint True Match in Nude Amber | LA Colors Loose Powder in Medium BROWS: ELF Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Mascara LIPS: Snoe Rouge Deluxe Lipstick in Precious Pout |
I think it looks a little ashy on you, or maybe it's the loose powder you used to set the foundation. Nevertheless, looks awesome and I might just try it out for myself :)
ReplyDeleteI figured it's the lighting. It looks better with the flash which is what matters more. So I took a picture na one with a flash and the other without it :)
DeleteThe shade really suits your complexion, and the coverage looks pretty good. I'd be discouraged to buy this one though, because of the glass bottle. It's hard to have anything made of glass in our bedroom since I have a very curious five-year-old. Haha! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Czjai! I just bought my second bottle ngayon kasi matatapos na ang sale. LOL
DeleteWow.. the coverage looks nice :D I haven't really tried L'Oreal's foundation because I'd usually use Benefit's.. but I would definitely give this a try SOON! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd I'd like to try Benefit naman soon. Hehe :D
DeleteI'm also using L'oreal True Match! So far I think it has great coverage though I think I'm not using it to its fullest extent. Thanks for the "half a pump" second layering technique. I think I will try that next time! :) Miss you Gel! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIMY Kai! Let's see each other soon! :)
DeleteI have not tried this product but it looks ok on you.

Thanks! :D
DeleteI like full coverage foundations like this, but I realized wala akong L'Oreal stuff sa kit ko! :P
ReplyDeleteHehe. You should try this one out, Helen! :)
DeleteI wouldn't mind spending on a product that is really effective. I'd like to try this L'Oreal foundation, too.
ReplyDeletesame here. i learned that, sometimes, you really do get what you pay for :)
DeleteHave you tried L'Oreal Lucent Magique (still catching up on your blog posts since I switched to Feedly)?
ReplyDeleteIt has SPF 24 naman. Maybe you'll match with G7. I use it more as a tinted moisturizer.
Will check that one out. I was actually looking for something na may full coverage din kasi. And because this one is on sale... I kind of hoarded a bit. lol Hahaha! xD
DeleteNaku, if that's the case, don't get Lucent Magique, light to medium coverage lang sya. Thinking of investing in a high-end foundation, Ipon-ipon muna.
Deleteinfairrrr... nice yung product ah.. very pigmented!!!! :) love the finish! <3
