L'Oreal True Match Foundation

I've found my new saviour. After my Max Factor Face Finity ran out last month I didn't think that there would be anything that could live up to it but after hearing the raving reviews on this foundation I thought I'd branch out and give it a go. I'm so glad I did because this has quickly become my new favourite foundation. I have the shade N1 which is a perfect match and I like the way that there are so many different shades with varying undertones. It has a satin finish (I say that but I don't know if it's actually correct) and gives a natural skin like finish. I usually go for matte foundations so this one, for me, is more on the dewy side and I'm completely okay with that. It doesn't make my skin greasy or oily and actually helps to control the oil. It lasts all day without the need for concealer touch ups and when I apply it I only use one pump and it covers my entire face, and the coverage is amazing, full to medium. I can't rave about this foundation enough and if you have a space in your collection for a new product, give this a try because you won't regret it.

Fight of the Foundations

Face fights! Foundations! I have serious foundation problems, my skin can get quite oily and a lot of the ones I've tried turn me into one big greasy chip. Here is the base of my face-drobe and let's dive in. First up is the Rimmel Match Perfection in the shade 101 Classic Ivory. I went through a phase about a year ago where I only ever wore this foundation. But then my skin decided to get really oily and now this one doesn't last very long on my skin with separating which makes me really sad. However the colour is an amazing match, hence the name I suppose, and I still wear it when I know I'm having a short day. Next up is the Rimmel Matte BB Cream in Light. Me and this little fellow have a roller coaster like relationship. When I first got this last spring I thought it was the best thing ever, really light, perfect colour match and lasted all day. Then after a little bit of usage things started to go wrong. My face got really oily it looked orange on my skin and it didn't seem to offer any coverage. I haven't used this in a long time but when the warmer months roll around I'm going to give it another try but if it doesn't work I might have to bid farewell. My oldest foundation in this mix is the Rimmel Stay Matte in the shade 100 Ivory (kind of a Rimmel theme in this post). I am in love with this foundation! The texture is light, the colour is such a perfect match and it stays put on my face, for good. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing wrong with this foundation and the fact that it's SPF free means on a night out there is no fear of flashback face, winner! Finally is the Max Factor Face Finity Foundation in the shade Light Ivory. I bought this just before I went on my summer holiday because I wanted something really long lasting and I'd heard good things about this one. This is such an amazing foundation. I used to just wear it on a night out but I've bumped it up to everyday as well because it's that good of an all rounder. I'm really upset because I'm coming to the end of this one, which shows just how much I love it. It lasts all day and the coverage is the best I've ever used. I think that overall my favourite foundation has to be the Max Factor one for the fact that I wear it so much and I don't know what I'd do without it.
