I decided it was time to put my MAC studio fix fluid aside for a second and delve into some high street/drugstore foundations. I recently went out and purchased the L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Liquid Foundation in the shade Honey - N6.
I've heard rave reviews about this foundation so I thought I'd test it out myself! The foundation contains SPF 17 which is great for all year round. I tried out the shade W7 as well but found this a little dark and too yellow toned.
The formula is water based and quite runny but it also lives up to its name and is super blendable. The foundation contains a pump which is a bonus! Don't you just hate foundations that don't? And then you pour too much and end up wasting more than you should? Anyway, I use 1-2 pumps for my full face and neck and dot it everywhere for consistent coverage.
The foundation lasts for ages - I applied the Super Blendable True Match powder in shade W6 (honey) to set the foundation and also to prevent any shine.
The foundation was a little light on my skin but I prefer it to be lighter than darker because you can always contour to make it look natural. Also, I find this foundation does oxidise a bit during the day so it's certainly worth getting a shade lighter especially if you have medium-dark skin.
The foundation itself is perfect for a flawless finish. It has a semi-matte finish with shimmer particles that aren't so noticeable. It does cover slight blemishes and evens your skin tone.
L'oreal Paris are always doing special 3 for 2 offers in Boots and Superdrug so its definitely worth checking it out as they do have a huge colour selection for this foundation :)
Here's a terrible photo of me with only the foundation and powder, no other make up.
What do you guys think? Have you purchased this foundation? What are your thoughts? Leave comments below :) I will be reviewing the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in my next post!
I'm thinking of getting this foundation, maybe the same tone as yours as I'm quite pale! Love the fact that it oxidises.. means I don't have to go around lookin' like a vamp ;) x
ReplyDeleteHi, I want to try out this foundation but I'm not too sure which shade I am. So I was wondering what MAC shade you are?

Hi there! Sorry for the late reply - I'm NC42 in MAC but this foundation does run a little light and neutral on me. W7 is more yellow based but is a bit darker so it's worth going in store and seeing what works for you :) xx
DeleteI'm a n6 too but wanted to know which shade that would be in the mac foundation?
ReplyDeleteI'm not 100% sure but I'd say it'd be around NC37, it does run a little neutral in my opinion though
