I got this to replace my Maxfactor All Day Flawless foundation, which you can read my review on here. I've pretty much stayed away from L'Oreal cosmetics because I've had reactions to their makeup in the past, however I thought it was time to jump back into the L'Oreal pool seeing as it has been a good few years.
The first thing I noticed about this product was the amazing shade range when I walked into the store. When it comes to drugstore foundations, I usually grab the fairest shade and have done with it. With this foundation I actually had to do a fair bit of swatching, there was so much to choose from!
My shade is N1 Ivory; the more yellow toned fair shade. It's an excellent match but it is also a medium coverage, which is my favourite of all the coverage's!
Not only is it a fantastic medium coverage, but it also gives a really nice even smooth finish. It's not too matte and not too glowy, so if you're looking for a more natural finish, this is your guy. I will point out that on very dry skin this has a tendency to go a little patchy but works nicely on oily and combination skin. It isn't terrible on dry skin; it just needs a little extra moisture as a base, maybe a good moisturiser or primer.
I do like the size and packaging of this. It's a really nice handbag size, not too chunky but not so tiny you barely get any product. It has a pump (thank the lords) and is really easy to get just the right amount; only half a pump will do the whole face. The clear lid is a pain however, why oh why do they insist on having clear lids?! It just makes everything look so messy! But because I love it I'll let it off, just this once though.
RRP: £9.99 (this is always on some sort of offer so keep an eye out)
Have you tried the True Match foundation? What do you think?

I've heard really good things about this foundation and think I may have to purchase it next time I'm shopping. Thank you for the great review.
