I'm a littla late on the bandwaggon with this one, but honestly I was unsure whether it would be a good foundation for me. Plus, it wasn't exactly cheap for a drugstore product. I've seen it as high as $22.99, but found it in walmart for $16 which is a little more reasonable to me.
L'Oreal claim this foundation to be a demi-matte finish. I usually steer clear of the word matte as I have drier skin and dewy, glowing skin is usually what I need. I saw so many people that didn't have oily skin use and love this foundation though, so I was very interested in seeing what it's like. I got the shade 104 Shell Beige, which is actually a shade too dark for me but with a little fake tan on, I can make it work. It blends really nicely and has good coverage, but still feels lightweight on the skin. It covered redness and discolouration around my mouth, which I normally need concealer for.
My skin isn't at it's best at the moment, being dry and having a breakout on my forehead, yet it still looked quite nice and didn't cling to any dry spots. I even got a compliment from my boyfriend who asked if something was different with my face. It took me a minute to realize he meant my skin looked nice and of course it was from this foundation. I wish there was more of a glow to the finish, but I am pleasantly surprised with this one. I wouldn't say it was a new favourite, but it is a good option from the drugstore if you want a foundation with some coverage.
This seems to have become a CBB fave, it is on my list to try when I pick up some summer shades of foundation
ReplyDeleteI used this last summer & loved it - I've since thrown my tube away but now that we're getting hot weather again, I should pick one up!
