If you have seen my previous post then you would have seen I have been enjoying using the L'Oreal Truematch Mineral foundation. However, I was not initially impressed by the product.
I had been interested in trying a mineral foundation for quite a while, as I can't find a liquid one that is perfect for my skin type. I have tried many different brands and types of liquid foundations, and even the best seem to get caking and patchy throughout the day. I found this quite disheartening, as some days I would just like my skin to look more even. Patchy is not a good look!
I started hunting around and did a bit of research. I saw Helen (melon) using the L'Oreal one in one of her Youtube videos, and decided it was worth a shot. I ordered myself the palest colour, as this is always my shade in Drugstore foundations.
For the first couple of days using it, I could see that the coverage was perfect for what I want, and it sat on my skin very nicely. A lot more flawless than any liquid foundation I had used previous. Then by the end of a weeks use, I started breaking out in tiny little spots on my forehead and around my nose especially. I could only put this down to the foundation, as I do not get small spots, only very large sore ones! The only product I had changed on my face was the mineral foundation. So I stopped using it.
I was watching some more beauty Youtube videos, when someone (I can't remember who) said they didn't use the brush that came with a particular product, as it broke them out! So I decided to give the foundation another shot, instead using my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush this time round. I have not looked back! No break outs at all!
This is 100% my favourite foundation I have ever tried, and perhaps one day I will try some more mineral foundations. I highly recommend it if you struggle to get away from that 'caky' look. The foundation is also buildable, so if you want something with a higher coverage, you can get that using this one too.
Here are a few photos of what the foundation looks like on my face after a full 12 hours wear at work.

Please excuse the state of my hair! I literally just walked in from work when I took these!
