Because I’m Worth It!
We all know that finding the right foundation shade can be a very trying experience—especially as a woman of color. Finding a shade that matches both your overall skintone and your undertones can be what seems like a lifelong process. Well, L’Oreal has heard us loud and clear and is making it easier for women to find their perfect, true match.
Their new online quiz allow you answer a few questions about your general appearance and at the end gives you your perfect match from the True Match Liquid Foundation collection. Check out the quiz!
I took the quiz and found out that my True Match shade is N8 Cappuccino. I was actually really impressed with the quiz. I have used L’Oreal True Match in the past—l love the price point and the coverage—and I always purchased N8. I was nice to see that my crude system of just kind of eyeballing it was accurate.
After I took the quiz, the wonderful folks over at L’Oreal sent me my shade. (In fact, they sent me several shades…which is good because my skin lightens a bit in the winter months so I’m more of a C7 Nut Brown.)

I tested it out and it was just as wonderful as I remembered. The coverage is amazing. Not so thick that your face feels weighted down, but good enough to cover up any perfections you don’t want to show through. The selling point for me, however, is the shine control. My skin is quite oily naturally and it’s not uncommon for me to have to bloat my face throughout the day. L’Oreal’s True Match foundation does a great job of keeping the shin under control. Even in this infamous Southern humidity!
Check out how matte the finish is!

A good friend of mine was raving about this foundation and purchased hers from the US for a discounted price.
I have quite sensitive skin & broke out after using such well-known brands as Lancome and MAC, so now stick to Mary Kay.
Also, the other brands’ shades don’t really match mine, but Mary Kay does and is very kind to my skin and bank balance.
Interesting to see a drugstore brand hitting the nail on the end for darker tones…finally!
P.S. cannot access link to quiz…

So I was actually looking to try a pharmacy brand for foundation this time around as opposed to my usual $50 foundation from Becca and I came across this post and decided to try True Match. I love it! I have oily skin and this foundation definitely kept the shine at bay! I believe I also bought Nut Brown. Loreal True Match is just as beautiful as my more expensive foundations for forty bucks cheaper! Well worth it!

That’s one of the things I love about it. I have more expensive foundations and the True Match definitely holds its own against them. I love that I can spend $10-$12 and get the same quality as a $50 foundation.

I just recently started using it, I’m a C8 & I LOVE it! It blends amazingly and feels very light & I like the finishing powder too!

I’ve never tried true match liquid foundation but it looks like a great product! You applied it very well.
