L'oreal: True Match Foundation

Finding the right match for foundation. You girls will probably know this issue too. Especially if you have a very pale skin it is even harder.

Well, I personally cheat to match myself (selftanning) to the lightest shades in drugstores.
For summer though I always like to go a bit darker, because in summer I use selftanners that go darker to. Just to look very nicely tanned but don't worry I don't get orange :)

That aside L'oreal has a foundation range where you supposed to find your true match.
Well do they? Let's find out!

L'oreal came out, a long time ago, with the True Match foundation. I always was intrigued because most of the blogs/YT videos about this foundation never were bad.

My normal shade supposed to be in Vanilla Rose, but for my tanned skin I decided to go for Golden Beige. Price around 16 euros.

The packaging of this product is glass, and I like that sort of package. When you look closely you notice a lot of shimmers. Putting it on your face, you don't see that anymore.

NOTE: On the pictures this foundation looks really dark, but trust me, it isn't.

When I first tried this foundation you directly see that it is a very runny foundation. 

 I used it with a beauty blender and a flat top kabuki sort of brush, somehow this is not the right application way. I decided though to wait for writing a review because I had new brushes coming and I wanted to see that first.

Now that I have my Zoeva brushes I used the 102 Silk Finish brush, and woaw a world of difference.

Using my older brushes this foundation turned cakey, patchy and just horrible on my skin. The Zoeva brush though, leaves me with a very high coverage base and gorgeous looking sheen by the shimmer.

I have oily skin and it also seems to work there. This foundation dries to a satin/matt finish and stays that way (for me) for about 6-7 hours.

I do still powder my face because without powder I will get oily anyway, even with matt foundations.

Overall thought: I really like it, and I'm happy I've waited for my new brushes to arrive. On that hand you can see what changes brushes make. The coverage is fairly high and I need few to no concealer. This dries satin/matt and I love that finish a lot. Also it lasts me fairly long. Pleased.

Tell me, what are your thoughts on this foundation?
