Luxurious base in less than 1000 bucks: L’oreal Paris The True Match Foundation

L’oreal Paris the true match foundation review, price, shades

If there’s one foundation in my vanity of which I used more than half of the quantity this winters, it’s this L’oreal Paris the true match foundation! Although I have a super oily skin, it’s also dry (dehydrated). You know, like super oily/combination skin, as if acne, pores and facial hair problem wasn’t enough! Hufff! Anyhow, it was my saviour for these entire winters!

Product description:
Groom yourself for a flawless complexion applying this L’oreal Paris the true match foundation. Enriched with quality ingredients, it hides fine lines and streaks of your skin to give you a natural looking skin.

 

My experience with L’oreal Paris The True match foundation:
Packaging: It comes packed in a transparent glass bottle with a pump dispenser. The pump works properly and there’s no oozing out of unnecessary product, leading to wastage. The cap also shuts down properly. Other details like ingredients, shade name and expiry are mentioned on the bottle itself.
Texture: L’oreal Paris the true match foundation has a silky and lightweight texture, which blends in completely within a few pats. The texture feels a lot like Lancome Tient Idole foundation. I have used this with my fingers, damp sponge and buffing brush. It works well with all. I mostly use a damp sponge. I avoid using a stippling/buffing brush when I have a lot of dry patches to avoid more patchiness.
Coverage: It has more than medium coverage, but not full. It covers my acne scars really well. I have used more than two layers of it sometimes to cover a lot, but never did the result turn cakey.
Finish:  The finish is a luminous matte. It has a subtle sheen, not oily! As per the claim, it does not give a flawless finish but it does make your skin glow.
Staying power: Since my super oily/combination skin starts shining early, the most important aspect I look for in a base product is that it should prevent my face from looking dull for at least 4-5 hours. And, it scores real well here! As mentioned by me, I used a lot of it in winters. It lasted on my skin for more than 10+ hours, although I did touch up in between for 2 times using powder and oil blotting sheets. I have even used it in hot temperature and it wore well. Definitely one of the best foundations for oily-combination skin in India.
Photography: For a SPF foundation, it does not look bad. It did give a little white cast upon using flash but it’s not ghost like.  
Breakout problem?:No, it has not broken me out.

 

I’m super happy for having bought L’oreal Paris the true match foundation because the texture is just so nice to work with! Not to forget the ideal performance for a drugstore brand!
Update: I love using it in summers too. It’s amazing how forgiving it is on dry patches and doesn’t magnify my pore size. Definitely the best foundation for oily skin large pores. I do follow up with powder though.
