FAQs
How do I find my perfect True Match shade?
Consider your skin's undertone (cool, warm, or neutral) and depth of color. The True Match range aims to match 98% of UK skin tones. Testing shades on your jawline in natural light is recommended for the most accurate match.
Is this foundation suitable for oily skin?
While the formula is oil-free and non-comedogenic, the finish is dewy, which may enhance shine on very oily skin. Those with oily skin might prefer to use a mattifying primer and set with powder.
Can I build up the coverage?
Yes, the True Match foundation is blendable. You can apply a second thin layer to build coverage from medium to a more noticeable level without it looking heavy.
What are the key skincare ingredients?
The foundation contains a hydrating complex including Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Aloe Vera extract, along with Vitamin E, to provide 24-hour hydration.
Does it offer sun protection?
Yes, the formula includes SPF 17, which provides a basic level of protection against the sun's rays.
How long does the foundation last?
The formula is designed for long wear and provides 24-hour hydration. Actual wear time can vary based on skin type and environmental factors.
What is the finish of this foundation?
The foundation provides a dewy finish, enhancing your skin's natural glow for a radiant, healthy appearance.
Troubleshooting
Foundation looks too orange/pink/yellow.
This indicates an undertone mismatch. Try a different shade with a cooler (C), warmer (W), or neutral (N) undertone based on your skin's natural hue. Refer to shade guides or test in-store if possible.
Foundation feels heavy or cakey.
Ensure skin is properly prepped with moisturizer. Apply a thinner layer of foundation and blend thoroughly with a damp sponge for a more seamless finish.
Foundation is not lasting throughout the day.
For extended wear, apply a primer before foundation and consider setting with a light dusting of L'Oréal Paris True Match Minerals Finishing Powder, especially in the T-zone.
The shade doesn't match after initial application.
Allow the foundation to set for a few minutes, as the color can slightly oxidize. If it's still not a match, you may need to try a different shade.
