L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation

   L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation, is my go-to foundation.

 

   It did not used to be that way. I have tried MAC foundation, Tarte foundations, Revlon Photo Ready Foundation and even the FIT Maybelline foundation, they are all good and worked very well for me, but after experiencing some drying of the skin on the face and some occassional flaking around my cheeks and upper lip area (weather have been dry lately and some recurring allergies) I have finally seen the error of my ways.

 

   Foundation choices are aplenty. You have everything for everyone. The dilemma is finding the right one for you; right color, right shade for your skin tone, reflecting or non reflecting, dewy or matte, coverage and the list goes on and on and on...

 

   I have seen this at Walmart, Target and other places that carry cosmetics. I love to challenge myself in finding that best product that brings out the best of my skin. If at times, it is dull, I reach for my foundation that makes my face dewy. If I have blemishes, I opt for the ones that give me best coverage and conceals any imperfections (e.g pimples, discoloration, etc.). And that is all and good, but how many foundation does one really need? I mean I have upgraded my cosmetic container twice in the last month, because I keep buying cosmetics that will "help" me. I mean, come on!! Even I have to recognize the hype some of these products put out there for consumers to just "try this one, maybe it will be THE ONE". ARGH!!!

 

   So after debating about it for awhile, I decided to try yet again another foundation. I watch youtube reviews and all that for reviews on this product but by nature I am a skeptic when it comes to rants and recommendations by beauty gurus on products they tend to favor over another. But here I am, blogging about one foundation that has so far worked very well with my dry skin and give me medium coverage (it's summer ladies!).

 

  Let me count the ways, first I love it that they have a color that best matches my skintone. The consistency is very blendable, for me it works like melted "buttah"..I apply it with my Sigma F80 and should further blending be needed (in conjunction with concealer) I use a damp sponge. Works wonders. It is very buildable to full coverage just let the last application dry a bit before adding more. No caking or settling in any fine lines. Just blend properly. It leaves my face dewy and photographs nicely. I do not set with powder at all, my skin soaks it all up and makes it look like skin..really!

 

  An added plus is that it is dispensed with a pump (hurray for pumps!) and is in a nice hefty bottle container. Love it!! No mess, no fuss. You get 1.0FL oz/ 30ml. A pump of foundation on the back of your hand is more than plenty for the whole face. It does not run after a couple of hours running around doing errands. It has SPF20 but my moisturizer and sunscreen have SPF anyways so I can work with the SPF20 it comes with. It does not have any funky smell. The lid is clear plastic that seals the product very nicely. REMEMBER, to shake the bottle before pressing the pump. At times, I use my fingers to apply it, especially in the morning when I have to step out and run out for my morning java..

 

  L'Oreal have some outstanding products out there and  I have to re-acquaint myself with them again. I have a love-hate relationship with L'Oreal but this LUMI is a winner. And if L'Oreal is trying to win me over as a customer, I think they are doing a very good job with this product.

 

  With all L'Oreal's competition out there, I think LUMI can stand on its own. Love this product. My skin thanks me each morning when I apply it on. It makes my oftentimes sallow skin (during THAT time of the month, most especially) and as a mature consumer, I think L'Oreal has not forgotten about my age group and our needs. Thanks L'oreal!!

  You will be happy to know this foundation is MADE IN THE USA. I love that as another bonus.

 

   This foundation works for me and my dry skin. Now, I do not have to battle with the dryness (though I moisturize) I let L'Oreal True Match LUMI do it's magic for me and my skin. Flawless skin can be achieved, allow me to introduce you to LUMI. Oh, btw, it does not turn yellow on me after wearing it for the day. Love, love it!!

 

  Dry skin, no problem. Blemishes, see what this can do. You want dewy looking skin, try LUMI. Long lasting, boy, let me tell you, this lasts. Finding that perfect match for your skin tone, I am sure they have one just for you. If L'Oreal has one for me, I am most certain, they have one just for you. True Match LUMI, I mean, where have you been and if there was one product that I really needed it was a good foundation. And I found it in this product. Hands down, the best. Expensive brandname products, you can buy anywhere but will it do what LUMI does, now only you can say for the money that you spend if you will ever buy that $40 plus dollar foundation ever again, if you try this and apply this correctly, who would not think you bought that expensive brandname one. It is really good and a must have for those wanting to start their own personal makeup collection.

 

  Does this mean I will not try other foundation? NO! What this means is that, I now can feel confident that I have one foundation that works for me and my skin type; and that I can reach for it anytime and I know it won't fail me. And isn't that what we all are looking for? Right!

 

  I have been using it for 3 weeks now, no breakouts, no flare up. Loving it!
