Hi everyone!
Wow, I've actually stuck to two posts in one week? Someone must have some time on their hands!
You may have seen my blog post - a little over a year ago about high street foundation reviews (you can have a look here) and the first foundation I decided to review for you all was L'Oreal's True Match: The Foundation. It was and still is one of my favourites for various reasons (which you can see in the blog post, I still stand by them today!)
But now, with my acne prone skin - I have decided to find new foundations which should provide me full coverage as well as making my skin B R E A T H E. Luckily, L'Oreal has a powder version of their foundation which I was very much fond of this time last year. So I thought - why not give it a whirl?
(Disclaimer: as per, these are all of my own views! And also, shoutout to my mum who brought this product for herself and then I tried some and then I brought one in a paler shade...)

Positives:
First of all, for a powder foundation the coverage is absolutely amazing! You'd expect it to be very hard to see as powders normally don't show up (especially for me) on skin. Thats why normally I have a liquid foundation and a powder on top. As well as this - no extra powder is needed either (obviously!) which cuts down getting reading time by a HUGE amount. Since using this product my skin has improved a huge amount! Below are some images of the coverage (I've tried to do a comparison shot but as you can see its quite blurry!)
Negatives:
It is such a good product but there are a few things that I would love to have improved on it - to benefit others (and me!)
Firstly: WHY AM I SO PALE? There is no high street foundation (apart from No. 7) which has a colour that is close to my skin colour. In the new year, I aim to give Mac a try - when my bank balance can afford it that is! As you can see below, once again another foundation is too red toned (or orangey) for my pasty complexion.

The brush attached to the foundation is awful! I know it's just your usual bog standard makeup brush - but is there any need to add it on? Thats probably why the cost of it is fairly high - especially when you're on a budget! Instead of the brush given, I tend to use my finishing brush to spread the foundation easily, without having the fibre hairs all over my face.
Overall, I really do like this product! I've been impressed by its standards so far and if they come out with an even paler shade for pasty Brits, like me, then that would be a big help!
