L'oreal True Match Super-Blendable Liquid Foundation in Cocoa

My newest obsession is watching youtube videos of ladies covering cystic acne with foundation. It's mind-blowing what you can cover with a little foundation and concealer. Anyway, I have a foundation review for you today. Now, I'm pretty sure that True Match was one of the first foundations I have ever tried. I bought this with one of my bestest friends ever back in the eleventh grade. She bought Cappaccino (I think) and I bought Nut Brown. It was too light so I went back and bought Cocoa a year or so later. And it was too dark. So I gave up. Recently L'oreal released "truer color" and more colors for chocolate girls so I thought I would give them a try. Prices haven't changed much in the past six or so years and I bought this for eight bucks. Not bad. L'oreal usually has coupons too so you can always snag a good deal.

When I went to pick this up..they were out of the colors that I wanted to try...I think it was the Deep Warm and Cappuccino that I wanted. So I ended up picking up the Cocoa which matches me a lot better than it did years ago. I think they lightened it. It matches my skin now but I think after Winter it may be too dark. I might try the other colors then.

My favorite thing about this foundation is the finish. It's almost like a liquid to powder finish that works great on my oily skin.

It's a medium coverage foundation that is easily build-able to full without looking cakey. I just use one layer using my fingers to blend because I find it melts the foundation into my skin a little better than using a brush.

I don't have transfer problems with this foundation either. There's nothing I hate more than accidentally touching my face and than some paper and leaving a brown mark. It doesn't melt off in the rain either. It's not a super long lasting foundation but it lasts throughout a work day for me which is all that matters.

The only thing is I wish it had a pump. The European version does. But since it doesn't I just cover the top with my finger and shake until I have some on my finger and use that. It works much better than pouring. I also love that this has built in SPF without looking crazy in pictures!

Overall, I think this may be my favorite drugstore foundation. It even beats out the Revlon Colorstay because I think the Color Match is better (no mixing colors). Definitely worth a try, and with the extensive color range your almost guaranteed to find a great match with the correct undertones. Try it, try it, try it and let me know what you think!
