L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation

Just like a lot of people, I'm on the hunt for the perfect foundation for me. I'm looking for a natural looking skin but with enough coverage to hide most of the redness on my face. I prefer a satin finish most of the time but I enjoy a semi-mat finish once in a while. I don't usually go for dewy foundation because I like to use powder so it's pointless for me. The retail price of this foundation is around 14 to 18$, it depends on where you buy it.

It says on the bottle that it will illuminate, unify and improve the look of the skin for a healthy-looking complexion and there is vitamins C & E in it.
This foundation has a sheer to medium coverage but it can build up quite nicely. It gives a healthy glow but it's not greasy. I'd say that this is between satin and dewy finish. I apply it with my fingers most of the time because with this foundation, that's how I get the most natural look.It has a very nice pump and I need 1-1½ pump of product for my face and neck. It blends really well and allows you to place it on your face before you blend it. It feels lightweight and it's very comfortable to wear throughout the day. I prefer to set it with a powder over my T-Zone but it does set nicely. For the staying power, I'd say it holds up pretty well during the day with one (or two if it's humid outside)touch-up of powder on the T-Zone. There is 15 shades to choose from and you have to know what undertone you are(neutral, cool or warm). My shade is n3 natural buff and it suits me very well. One of the things I like to have in a foundation is a sun protection and the Lumi has a SPF of 20 which is really great. I don't really care for flashbacks simply because I don't really like to have my photos taken so it's not a big deal for me. Lastly, I would suggest this foundation to people who have normal, combination or dry skin. Since it's quite luminous, this might not be the best option for those who have oily skin.


I have to say that I really like this foundation! I love how it feels, how it looks, how my skin reacts with it, I just really enjoy wearing this foundation. Most of it's features are ones I look for in a product and I'm quite impress by that! If it's not discontinued when I'm done with that bottle, I will absolutely buy it again. 

I hope my review helped you to know more about this foundation and decide if you want to get it or not. For any question or comment, please leave it in the comments section :)
