L'Oreal Paris True Match Naturale Mineral Foundation

LOVE IT!

I had much doubt about this product before I purchased it, but to my smiling face (and I mean a BIG smile!!!) it has been one of the greatest items in my makeup bag. Here's the story, I use to use Philosophy's mineral powder up until they stopped making my color, even though it is rather pricey, I loved its results and used it for years. I am very VERY loyal to things that work for me, so when I had to search for something else to replace the Philosophy's mineral powder, I was rather upset and a little emotional ;-(. So, I searched through the several, well, a large bag full of mineral powders and AT LAST I found something that works for me. BUT, there is a trick to using this product. The packaging really sucks, so just a tip to you all: I unscrew the top part off, turn it upside down, and tap some powder in to the the spot under the brush. Then I use my powder brush (or a brush I have left over from my previous purchase) to apply. Make sure you tap off the extra powder otherwise you'll be wearing it on your shirt and hair (seriously). I will mention one other thing, I have REALLY uneven skin tone (lucky me...) and I do where a liquid foundation under this. It may seem like it's a lot of layers of paint, but it really isn't if I can have even tone and perfect looking skin, right? Anything else...oh, I will also sadly mention that it doesn't last as long as the Philosophy mineral powder, but it lasts for a considerable amount of time. So thats nice to the pocket book. Lastly, I've been using this for about 3 years and it's still going strong. I just hope they don't try to switch it up on me like I've had done with some other products I can't live without.
