L’Oréal Paris True Match Mineral Loose Powder Foundation, Creamy Natural, 0.35oz

Easy to apply. 5min makeup. Sunscreen. Excellent price. Good Value. EDIT: Still the one. I've resigned myself to mineral powders only. Or this powder only. This has such a natural look on me. That's hard to do when a product has sufficient pigment such as this one. In the summer I use a lite dusting kaolin based(silicone free) powder as a primer on my T-zone so I don't get shiny. I wished I'd tried this years ago, I'd have saved myself a LOT of money. New users please note this isn't a ' swirl, tap, and buff ' product. Its a ' DIP, STIPPLE, then BUFF. Steps 1. Remove lid, unscrew brush(top) and remove inner seal. Or poke holes, you should see the perforations on the sifter. replace brush(top). 2. With brush(top) screwed on SHAKE container once or twice no more or too much product is dispensed. USER BEWARE. Product will gather on the underside of brush top, the next step is important to avoid too much fall out. Step three is the messiest part. Another option is to put powder in another container. 3. TAP container base on palm or counter once or twice so that powder settles on sifter. Next unscrew brush(top) and flip it over. Note: you will see powder on the underside, that's how creamy this powder is. Tapping of base helps mitigate this but it seems, with this container, agitation of any sort seem to release a lot of product. This may be why people complain about the 'mess'. 4. DIP brush(top), or brush of choice , lightly onto sifter container portion and pick up the amount of product you desire. Dip brush as often as you need to. NO NEED TO SWIRL AND TAP. The harder you press the more product the brush will pickup. So start slow. This product has a fine 'creamy' mill. This product adheres to the brush without any 'swirling' motion. You can swirl but the brush will pickup, possibly, more product than needed. You shouldn't try to use the lid as its ,not apart of or useful in the process. Its just a lid. This isn't that other national brand. You can tell I'm not a fan. 5. STIPPLE and tamp product onto face were you want coverage, then 6. BUFF to distribute product , swirl if you must, on face to get the even coverage you desire. Less waste and mess. There will be mess but significantly less and likely on your robe or current attire. If you wear foundation products loose powders and such that happens anyway. More coverage?: repeat at step 2 or 4-6. Too much product in and on sifter level?: Replace brush top then gently swirl container in hand like you would a glass of fine wine. Gently. Even easier. Replace brush top with lid. Use a separate brush( I use wet n wild Kabuki Brush, Flat Top Blending Brush, For Liquid & Mineral Foundation) and Tap the side of the foundation container while you hold it in your hand. Note the sifter is removable use a file or finger nail to gently pry the sifter pan up at the outer edge Easy. This product lasts all day. Some may need to prime and/or set depending on ones skin and/or skincare products, environment etc. Also its a great value because the product lasts a long time. As a side note sometime around 2018 Loreal had extended shades on Walmart.com. I didn't know they even existed let alone their availability. My best shade, in this formula, would be between N7 classic tan and N8 Cappuccino. It doesn't exist but I mix the two for a 'dark golden beige' tone. My coloring is a Muted Golden Olive. Think Found Mattifying Powder Foundation #173 Golden Tan (discontinued) or Alima pure satin matte {Mix of Neutral 7+Olive 6}. Note: L'Oreal C6 Soft sable too dark and has a red/violet/grey tinge on me. Around 2020 I saw the writing on the wall, Wally world (website) had the extended line (fair/ light thru dark/deep shades) on clearance, and the kept the original 12 shades in the lineup, you know I cleared the shelf of the shades I could use [n6 Honeybeige+n8 Cappuccino]. Minerals , this formulation anyway, are inert so no worries but its a unfortunate many have few options in powder foundation let alone clean options at mass retailers. Either we are limited by the shade range or we settle for a formula/formulation that is lacking in performance. Loreal if your reading this please bring back the BARE NATURALE / TRUE MATCH MINERALS eyeshadows, blush, finishing powder, all your 'clean' products, please KEEP YOUR WINNING FORMULA, and of course since where all worth it maybe add back more foundation shades. If anyone cares , IMO, The Age perfect products w/Minerals are too luminous and 'blurring', yet has no coverage nor does the user have control of overall finish. Most colors lean warm. No offense to Loreal and not to discredit the True match liquid flagship but not everyone is a fan of liquid makeup in general. Forgive me in advance, I used the true match liquid 'grid' to get a rough estimate of intensity. That grid appears in accurate in terms of depth, monitors can vary, and then again this True Match collection is more about addressing undertones. Again, for give me the lighter shades I'm uncertain about. Intensity: Soft Ivory N1-2 Light Ivory W1-2 Natural Ivory C1-2 Nude Beige W3 Natural Buff N3 Creamy Natural C3 Natural Beige W4-5 Buff Beige N4 Classic Beige C4-5 Sun Beige W6-7 Classic Tan N6-7 Soft Sable C6 Anyway always a Loreal fan, Your worth it. 2/8/25. They really discontinued the whole line. Ridiculous. L'Oreal you got consumers waiting.

I cannot live without this makeup! I have used this product for around 6-8 years now. It is very easy to build coverage and it has a very natural appearance when applied. This shade works very well for my fair skin with a yellow undertone. I believe soft ivory is the lightest shade they have. I use this product atleast 4 times a week and it lasts me for 1-3 months. My skin is combination/oily and with this it still looks good at the end of the day. If you have dry skin you may want to make sure to exfoliate and moisturize often because as with any powder product it could accentuate your dry skin. Even though I own an easy to use professional air brush system, I chose to use this as my everyday makeup. Most of the time (around 95%) this foundation is enough to cover all of my blemishes without concealer including acne, veins, redness, and undereye circles. If something needs a little extra coverage I am able to use a concealer brush or my finger to apply this powder directly to the blemish. I do have naturally veiny eyelids and get occasional hormonal acne and this product works very well at concealing those issues for me. I've never experienced any troubles with break outs or clogged pores when using this while having acne. As far as the brush I do not typically use it. It is a decent brush for a disposable makeup system, and it applies the makeup well. I often use a kabuki brush because it gives a lighter coverage, for medium to full coverage their brush works well. To disperse the powder onto my brush I do not use the makeup well, it is concentrated into a small area and I like to control the amount of coverage. I always tap some powder out onto the side of a large flat empty leather makeup bag and then disperse the amount I desire onto my brush. Doing this usually leaves extra ready to go for the next time I wish to apply any. It's a similar technique to using a painter's palette. It takes me less than a minute to apply this makeup from start to finish for flawless skin no matter the amount of blemishes I have. Out of all the designer and drugstore makeup I've used this is my absolute favorite foundation. It is easy, it looks natural, and gets the job done well all while being mineral based and healthy for your skin.

I love this face powder! It goes on smoothly, blends beautifully, and gives my skin a natural finish. It doesn’t dry out my skin, which is very important to me. It feels lightweight and lasts throughout the day. I will definitely keep buying it.

I have tried this powder in a few shades and Natural Ivory fits my skin tone so perfectly that it looks like my skin....but better. I think thats the ultimate goal of a good foundation and this is the only one I have ever tried that has nailed it with the color match and undertone. So for you, it will depend on if you too find your perfect match on whether you have the same impression that I do about how good it is. Aside from the shade, the texture goes on so seamlessly. I use my own brush because I find the one included causes too much powder to go on the first place you apply it. The jar it comes in is terrible for travel but for home use its ok. I tap the powder into the big clear plastic lid and dip my brush in and swirl it then tap it on the sides so the excess falls back into the lid. I only need one layer to make my skin look polished and better than without makeup. But not really looking like I"m wearing makeup. Two layers gives a heavier look.When layering I would be careful not do do too much over textured areas of the face because there is a glisteny effect that bounces light off the face and looks really nice but if you use too much over textured areas it can highlight them and make them stand out more. Now for what I don;t like about the powder. It is not a long wearing makeup. It starts to come off after about 4 hours so unless you have already found a method that keeps all your makeup in place it will probably wear off you too if you have oily skin.. The amount you get is tiny. Especially considering its a loose powder. Therefore to me the price seems too high, for such a small amount of powder. Especially for every day use and especially since it needs to be re applied. That glisten effect, if you get it on too heavy doesnt' look good in certain areas. Such as over flaws. And yet despite all of those cons, its still the best looking, non mask like, non greasy and natural looking ,yet with coverage somehow, foundation I have found.

I love this stuff and actually really like the packaging. You can get different amounts of coverage depending on the amount of powder used and the way you apply it. If you use the regular brush and a circular motion with a small amount, you get good coverage and despite it being a powder, it looks natural. If you use a small brush (I like a small, angled brush, but I find those hard to find, and a rounded brush seems to do the trick), dip it into the powder, and then tap it on a blemish, it works like a concealer and hides the blemish well. I'm not sure why some people don't like the packaging. I take the clear lid off and place it on the counter upside down, like a bowl. Shake the container, turn it upside down, and then back right side up. Unscrew the lid with the attached brush. Tap the screw-brush-lid onto the container a few times to jar loose any powder stuck to the "bottom" of it. Then tap the brush into the powder, tap off excess, and apply in a circular motion to your face. I skip the forehead and crowsfeet, as powders tend to settle into the lines on me. :) Next, I put the brush into the upside-down bowl lid, so it can rest on the counter without dirtying the brush, and then I tap my concealer brush into the powder and tap it onto blemishes and dark spots. You don't need a lot of powder, so I don't think I'd want to remove the salt-shaker-y part and dip a brush right into the powder... the current design keeps you from getting too much makeup on your brush and overdoing it. Anyway, this powder is way quicker to apply than liquid foundations, and I was once complimented on my "flawless" skin after spending some time covering up two or three pimples that evening. :) My only complaint might be if the brush gets dirty and you wash it in soap and water, it doesn't feel as soft as it does before you wash it, nor as soft as the brush on their overall glow type product (which I think was discontinued, and I hope they bring it back. It has a slightly different consistency, so that brush may not work with this awesome powder anyway).

I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!! I have super sensitive skin, so for many years I bough really expensive department store makeup brands. Nothing ever gave me a good coverage. I even tried the Bare Minerals product and that didn't work out either. A lot of makeup I was allergic to as well. When this product hot the shelves years ago, it changed my life!! I have Lupus and due to the diease I have what's called the butterfly rash. It's pretty common with SLE. I have dark spots of pigmented skin, red blotches and I also have severe acne. I don't like the heavy feel of primer, moisterizer, liquid foundation, concealer and powder! I wanted all in 1 products! #1 I use the Magic Perfecting cream by Loreal. Then I use the Mineral Powder. You can get a light coverage or a heavy coverage depending on how much you apply. I apply a lot of the mineral powder, but what's important is that it doesn't feel like a lot! It really doesn't feel like I have any makeup on at all. Now every now and again I have a red spot that i can't get covered even when using the small brush with the mineral powder. Then I have to use a concealer and I either use the green crayon like Loreal concealer or the skin color one. Just depends on the type of spot. And that's pretty rare that I have to use those. 90% of the time the Mineral Powder does the trick. Now I use to NEVER show my face without makeup on. I mean never. I remember one time my best friend dropped by with out calling ahead. She was in the neighborhood. I had no makeup on. I had her wait outside until I got my makeup out then opened the door told her to come in and have a seat on the couch and I quickly put my Loreal Magic Perfecting Cream on and them my Loreal Mineral Powder on. I was so embarrassed. Even when I've been admitted to the hospital I have my makeup on. I would shower or sponge bath and get at least up to the step of my mineral powder on. (I usually wear full makeup. Brows, eyeshadow, eyeliner, contouring pallet, blush, mascara, the setting spray. The Loreal setting spray is amazing! It keeps your makeup on all day long!! Not only do I have Lupus, but I have a whole array of health issues from heart and lung damage to degenerative bone diease and a book worth of health issues in between!!! Well recently I decided to share with people what I look like with no makeup. I want other women who are going through similar things that I do to know you can look beautiful and have your makeup look amazing on the cheep! So here I am from no makeup, to full makeup.

I had high hope for this product but unfortunately I have not liked it very much. I use it more as a finishing powder. It doesn't work for me as a foundation. If I put too much on you can definitely tell it and for me this color was a bit too light. It does have a light weight to it, so you don't feel it on your face. I have seen other posts where they talk about how messy it is. I very much agree. You cannot put this on in the car or on the go. It can go everywhere. The brush isn't the best either, most of the time I use a different powder brush. I will be trying something else next time, most likely a pressed powder. I do like Physicians Formula and usually have success, however I couldn't find the one I usually wear, so I decided to try something different.

I have used this product for several years and the coverage is amazing and very buildable from a soft light dusting to cover oily hot spots on my face to a full on photo finish look. As an older 50+ woman, I have always heard to stay away from powders, but I still find it still works well with my skin. When first applied, it will look as if it is settling a little bit into the wrinkles of older or dry skin, but somehow, it doesn't stay that way after a couple minutes. Possibly because it finally sinks in and blends with your moisturizer or skin oils since it is mineral powder - no idea? But I love it! I have pigmentation issues and white skin patches from past acne scars and this product blends it all in with the rest of my skin. As with all powder foundation makeup, you will find it a bit messy. You will need to clean up more often, but I haven't found it to be that big of a deal. I use it over my bathroom sink or a tissue to keep it off my vanity countertops. The packaging is okay. I think Loreal did the best they could in trying to create a portable, inexpensive mineral powder that includes a brush. Personally, I use my own kabuki brush that is softer (and costs more) when I'm at home. But I have used their attached brush when on the go. Yes, it is a little scratchy, but not horrible or unusable. Overall, The pros out way the cons. And for the money - this is a high quality product with great coverage, works with my skin and not just on top of it, lasts long and worthy of a five star rating in comparison to other similarly priced foundation products.

Product true to description. Came over a week earlier than anticipated. Excellent service. Will order again! Thank you

different from the old version... quite heavy...

Fantastic for Indian medium skin tone!!

Says 2 pack, only 1 arrived. Be aware!

So happy I ordered this, despite what I consider a completely exaggerated price. I can no longer find it in stores and it's truly the only foundation I like. Unlike other powder foundations, it is not dry, it does not make dry skin flakes stand out and it somehow magically sticks to the skin all day long. Bulky packaging, hefty price but great product.
