Happy Sunday Beauties! I wish I could've put up more posts this past weekend, but I decided to focus on some personal things instead. I did have a formal on Friday that I went to, and I do have a get ready with me that I'm hoping to edit soon (but I may need to get the new iMovie to edit it).
Anyhow today I have a review for you guys! This review is on L'Oreal's True Match LUMI foundation. I have mixed feelings about this foundation, so let's get into the actual review, shall we?! :]
Breakdown:
Packaging: Hands down, this is my favorite foundation packaging from the drug store. I love the fact that it has a pump, and I wish that all foundations had a pump because it'll make everybody's life so much easier! Can we all agree?!?! lol, anyhow, the pump surprisingly does regulate the amount of product that comes out. I can do a full pump and half a pump and a quarter of a pump, which is awesome for me since I have almost no control trying to poor out foundation from those tubes.
Color Range: The one thing that I've always liked about L'Oreal was the fact that they have a range of colors that work with your undertones (warm, neutral cool), but I feel like there aren't enough light and dark colors in all the undertones. They have a great variety as far as the medium shades go, but if you're extremely light or darker, than you may have a difficult time finding a color match. I did notice that some of the warm shades did have a slight orange tint to it depending on how dark you went in the range. I was originally going to get W5, but I could tell that there was quite a bit of orange tint to it, so I went with W4.
Price: The price is a little much for me, but personally I would want my foundations to be around $6-8. This was about $10-11, which is a little more than what I would like. Though the price may be a bit high for my standards, I find that the price is average for a good foundation at the drug store.
Coverage: This has sheer-light coverage, but you can definitely build it to medium (which I don't recommend that you do). It has enough coverage to even out my skin tone and lightly cover some of my acne scars, but it doesn't fully cover the redness around my nose, my dark circles, and some red spots on my cheeks.
Finish: It has a dewy finish, but nothing too extreme. It gives your face a light glow, almost like you were just in the sun. It's easy to blend into the skin and the actual foundation does feel a bit liquidy, but it doesn't run down the back of my hand when I pump it out.
Lasting Power: On a hot day, this will last me for about 5-7 hours, which isn't bad, especially for a drug store foundation. The dewiness will still be there, and if you put on a pressed powder on top, it'll help control some of the dewiness and oil, but you may want to be careful with it.
Overall:
This foundation will be great for Fall/Winter. If you're oily like me and wear this during the warmer months, you run a high chance of looking like you had an oil explosion all over your face, instead of a nice luminous glow. Even when I put powder on top, it's not enough to absorb all the oil and after 3 hours in the sun and walking around, I need to blot my face.
I do like the glow that it gives and I like how easy it is to use. It's great for someone who has normal skin and is looking for a healthy glow without using excess products.
Hope you guys enjoyed the review! If you've tried this foundation, let me know what you guys think about it!! Have a great day and I'll talk to you guys in my next post!! :]
