My comparisons of multiple tinted moisturizers/ light coverage foundations

Loreal Serum Foundation Application

This tinted serum is a lightweight serum texture that blended in very nicely with my fingers. (I don’t like using brushes and sponges when doing light makeup like this). It gave me light coverage that built up well in areas that I wanted more coverage. It also evened out my skin tone while still letting my skin look like skin, which is what I look for in complexion products. I’m wearing the shade 7-8 Tan-Deep which is a near perfect match for my skintone! This leaves my skin looking healthy and glowy without looking too heavy. It almost looks like I’m not wearing anything on my face at all when I wear this foundation (which is always my goal)

Is Loreal True Match Serum Foundation Good?

This product is just about perfect to me! It’s an incredible match to my skin tone and it doesn’t look overly shiny at the end of the day. It easily blends in with my fingers while still making my skin still look like skin. Plus, it’s affordable and accessible since you can get it at Target and other drugstores. My only issue is the packaging: a glass bottle I might break and an annoying dropper that gets really messy knock off half a point for me. Otherwise, I’m in LOVE and will be buying this foundation until the end of time πŸ™ŒπŸΎ

β˜† On a scale of 1-5  (1=bad, 2=meh, 3=fine, 4=good, 5=great), I’d give this 5 stars β˜† – it’s an incredible complexion product with a good shade range and good price point, very easy to find in stores, but has slightly annoying packaging
