L'oreal Tru Match First Impression | TheMakeupDiaries

Hey guys!! So I just recently purchased the L'oreal Tru match after hearing so many great things about it. I own the Tru Match Lumi by L'oreal and I absolutely love that foundation, but because my skin has been getting oiler because it's starting to warm up where I live, and because I've been wanting to try something new, I decided to pick this one up. I got it in the shade W3, or nude beige (in the Tru Match lumi I'm a W4) because my skin has just been getting unreasonably lighter the past few months. And it'll be nice to have a lighter foundation in my arsenal. So without further ado let's get started!

Claims: 

Finish: natural

SPF: 17 (select shades)
Coverage: Light to medium
Skin Type: For all skin types. Oil-free.

Available in 33 skin-true shades. 

How I looked like after applying it (10 minutes after. I rushed in the car to get a pic!)

First impression:

First applied (8:45 a.m)- I applied a beauty blender to first apply this foundation. IT BLENDS SO WELL! The finish is Demi-matte, and not as luminous as the True Match lumi. Usually I'm really bad at colour matching and I get a shade darker than I am (fail) but now it's the right shade (w3). I was so surprised that it wasn't as runny as the Lumi, but not super matte (which I don't like!) anyways, so far so good, I set it with my new Maybelline Fit me! Powder. I'm excited to see how this holds up, and I'll update you in a few hours.

9:30: still looks great! 

12:30: my skin looks quite dull (I'm getting sick so maybe that's why..) reapplied powder onto t-zone. My blemishes aren't peeking through yet. 

4:40: blemishes are starting to peek through (the big red ones) however my foundation still looks good. Unlike the lumi one, it looks like it's sitting nicely on top of the skin whereas my lumi one doesn't have such a good lasting power. My blush is gone except it was a sheer tone blush from mac so it's just a light wash of colour. So far so good, I'll update you later. 

9:30: It's now the end of the day, and I've been wearing this foundation for more than 12 hours. And guys, this is hands down my most long wearing foundation. It stays in my skin while giving me a Demi matte finish. My acne scarring and hyper pigmentation are barely showing through (which is a first, especially after using it for more than 12 hours). This is my new go to foundation! Love love love! ❤️
