NOT sensitive skin friendly
22 days ago
Was very happy at first try due to the variety colours available and the affordable price. But my skin breaks out after 2 days of applying it. Because it's delayed reaction, I suffered few times to realised its problem (I thought I had windburn or rosacea). I have sensitive skin and I thought this is friendly to my skin, apparently not. I searched online, huge amounts of good reviews, I trusted them all. DONT BUY IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN!

New packaging, Possible new formula, Poor coverage
a year ago
I've been using true match for years and it has never disappointed, but as I re-stocked and re-purchased the other week, they have changed the formula and packaging to my knowledge. The covarage seems a lot thinner and if you read the small print on the new packaging it says better skin in 3 weeks, whereas the old says 2 weeks. Disappointing.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Really love the texture, easy to apply and matches perfectly to my skin tone but WHY does it have shimmer in it? Really disappointed there was no mention of shimmer before I purchased, the tester didn't have shimmer in it.

I wish Loreal were Leaping Bunny certified!
a year ago
I really like this foundation, it goes well on my 40 something skin, however, I just cannot push myself to buy Loreal anymore until they become Leaping Bunny certified, hence the average score! I just hate the thought of supporting animal testing in anyway, whether testing directly or through a 3rd party or selling products to China who we know full well still test their products on animals. Come on Loreal, take the steps to become 'officially' cruelty free!

Beautiful and perfect shade! Stays on all day!
a year ago
I started using LOreal True Match 5W about eight months ago and I love it! I am Spanish with Asian descent, so my skin has a little yellow undertone and its hard to get a perfect color, but True Match has soooo many shades that I was able to find the perfect one! I used to mix 2 to 3 different shades of Physicians Formula to find a good color, but now I only have to use one shade of True Match! I wear it to the office every day and it stays on all day. It goes on smoothly and covers my small freckles with a little extra foundation around that area. I am VERY pleased with this product and I highly recommend it.

Perfect colour, flawless natural looking skin
2 years ago
Bought this a few days ago after some research online - very fair skin and ordered (0.5c). Perfect match, made my skin look like a china doll (in a good way!) lightweight and not cakey. Quite runny but I liked that, started at the T-zone and used a combination of fingers, brush and sponge to blend outwards. I have some slightly flakey dry areas as well as a few blemishes but this foundation really concealed them well. I cleansed, lightly exfoliated, moisturised, jojoba oil and sunscreened beforehand. No pilling - really pleased with the product !!

Younger by 10 years according to my husband
2 years ago
Despite the comments about this product being watery I decided to take the plunge because I use a lot of L’Oreal moisturisers. I used a damp makeup sponge, and it is watery, but the results are amazing. I built it up a little by letting the first application dry. I am 67 years old, so I was really happy when my 56 year old husband of 32 years said that he couldn’t tell that I was wearing makeup, but that I looked 10 years younger. I am so pleased with this product.

Disappointed
2 years ago
Bought this yesterday after reading some comments on it. Payed a lot more than it’s advertised at. Tried it this morning and pressed the top and just a watery mess came out. Luckily I managed to keep it off my clothes. I shook the bottle hoping it was all it needed but no.. still watery. Even after being in the fridge it’s still the same. I do not recommend this and I’ve wasted my money when it could have gone to better use.

Good product, hate the bottle
2 years ago
I love the actual foundation and would buy again. Its very lightweight but gives
great smooth coverage. What I hate is the bottle and the pipette, I've lost count of the number of times it's dripped onto my top or the dressing table, I don't really know what it is supposed to be for. I'll buy again if it comes in a tube.

Best foundation for pale skin!

I have been trying for years to find a foundation that suits my pale skin without completely washing me out and can still cover my blemishes. I felt like it was never going to happen but then I tried this incredible foundation! It's truly lightweight; it looks and feels natural; it does not crease and its such good value!!

slightly disappointed
3 years ago
i bought this a week ago after seeing a lot of hype on social media, recommending the product for clean makeup looks (which is right up my alley). the shade matched my tone well and feels light on the skin (though it is buildable) but i found that it started to flake on my chin and forehead. i wish the dropper could hold more product, but other than that i adored the skin like finish and the buildable formula

Non cakey natural looking foundation

Lovely foundation for medium coverage, could be better if transfer resistant for longer staying power. Also a higher spf would be better. This is my repeat buy foundation, even compared to premium brands as this doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the skin, nice natural look.

Good medium coverage foundation

This is a good medium coverage foundation, this colour was too light for me so i mixed with Golden Chestnut during the winter months for a slightly lighter colour foundation. Good texture when i apply with a buffing brush. Could be much more desirable if it was transfer resistant.

Repeated skin compliments
4 years ago
I’ve used this for years and it never fails; I get constant compliments on my skin from strangers who don’t believe I have foundation on. I’m sure it’s taken care of my skin, too, as I have very few lines in my 50’s…I now use a second (darker) shade as a bronzer alongside my main one and it works so much better than expensive bronzer fluids or powders - so simple! I just wish I could recycle the packaging..

Dries out my skin even after moisturizing
4 years ago
The shade matches beautifully and gives good coverage, but I have dry skin and I apply this after serum/moisturizer/sunscreen. Weirdly, this dries me out and looks very dry on the skin, especially around some of the deeper lines on my forehead. It's not moisturizing at all.

Golden honey foundation
4 years ago
The golden honey foundation is perfect for me as i have a medium skin tone. Tbe foundation is light upon the skin and when applied to the face it was easy to blend and gave me a smooth canvas. What i liked about the foundation is that it never left any greasy residue and it gave me a luxuriously matte finish. I love the overall foundation and would definitely buy it again.

Doesn’t break you out!
4 years ago
Excellent foundation, gives a medium to full coverage depending on how much you build it up. Feels light on my skin and has not irritated or flared my acne so it’s a win! Also I’m 38 and starting to see the signs of ageing, this foundation does not sit in those fine lines around my eyes and if anything it helps to diffuse them as the foundation has a satin like finish.

Very cakey
4 years ago
I bought this recently as I wanted a light weight foundation for the day. I initially bought a darker shade, the same shade as my powder, however this made me bright orange. I followed the colour advice and purchased 2R. The colour matches very well, however the product is extremely cakey. I applied 1 pump to my face with my fingers and a blender, and had it settle in dry patches all over. I read some reviews that said to use a brush, tried this method and it is even worse. I've tried different primers and still the same result. I'm not sure of it's my skin or the product, but it's settles dry and greasy at the same time.

Lovely foundation
5 years ago
I have just recently purchased this foundation in shade 1.5N Linen and I love it! It applied seamlessly and I’d say it is a light to medium coverage. It lasted well throughout the day; only turning slightly greasy on my nose, which is my problematic area, so pretty standard for a liquid foundation.
I’m 34 and have combination skin, fine lines and this didn’t cling to my dryer areas or sink into my fine lines. I am impressed!
I normally buy higher end foundations but I can safely say this is my new go to foundation.

Allergy to new formula.
5 years ago
I'd used the old formula of true match for about 2 years, I really loved it. However, the new formula has caused a rash on my face, my skin is now hypersensitive and struggles to tolerate even my normal skincare. I appreciate cosmetics have to be improved, but changing formulas doesn't help people with sensitive skin.

This is a great everyday foundation. It's not expensive, so you can use it on a daily basis, and it looks great. Super natural look and they have lots of colours to make sure you choose the right one. I apply using my fingers as I don't like using brushes, but the results are always really natural, with glowing skin :)
