I really hate this foundation : / The lightest shade is way too dark for me(not like a shade or two too dark, it's really really dark and orange), it smells awful like paint, feels really heavy on the skin and feels like it just doesn't get off even with a waterproof makeup remover, it leaves the paint-feeling on the skin. I don't like at all.
if u put a translucent powder on it then it might stay for longer and then you wont use up so much primer so for power i would reccomend bare minerals x
i have this foundation, think it's great but i have to say.. after a day at college when i come home it really lacks, the flawlessness goes and i'm left with tide marks -not good. Although i criticize -to be honest all foundations will do this.
yes it's light and very blendable, i don't feel like i'm wearing any foundation when i'm wearing this but i wouldn't re-purchase it at all, it " sinks " into my pores and well just doesn't give me an attractive finish ( even freshly applied )
it tends to cake very quickly and leave spotty spots on me face ? and just blah

@BennyJennyJ1 About mid-range. They're getting quite expensive themselves though! I'd consider brands such as YSL, Dior, Urban Decay, MAC, etc to be high end.
@BennyJennyJ1 They are a drugstore, but most brands that are considered drugstore are getting more expensive! I definitely don't consider L'Oreal a high end, or even a mid-range brand.
I had the same issue with pouring it on the back of my hand and freaking out because of the HUGE color difference. And when I blended it in... Well, it was amazing X3
I have the American version of this, just different packaging, and it is fantastically photogenic!! Not only can you find a shade to match your exact skin color, but it also makes your skin look flawless in photos. Doesn't oxidize too much. And you can build up coverage on problem areas by firmly tapping more onto those spots.
Would this foundation be good for taking pictures (wedding pictures)? Would it give me that white cast effect? If so, can you recommend a good drugstore and/or high end foundation that wont?
I have that foundation. It's decent for the price. The only problem I have is that it does NOT last all day and tends to break apart and starts to look spotty. I'm going to either try dream matte mousse or the photo ready foundation next. My skin isn't really oily at all. But when I set it with my mineral powder it seems to last longer.
@SDAR77 I have oily skin and some spots, i find that this slightly mattifys my skin and it has NEVER caused me to beak out =] yay =] so i would but im not garanteeing =]
ive had this foundation for a few months now, and im using so much less now that ive seen this video applying with a brush really works but at first my blusher brush made me look orange so i got a new one and its perfect i actually look like a real girl!
it depends on what your undertone is. if your not sure you can try just a neutral color. but if you want a more accurate match. then try searching a video on how to find your undertone.
the color tones (like warm and cool) isnt really for the color of your skin, its more for the undertones that you have. i use warm because i have warmer undertones. (golden, and tanish) cool undertones would be like pinks and whatnot.
this is a great review. is it worth trying this product? is it good on sensitive skin? my skin reacts badly with this but its fine with other loreal products.
I'm so glad I came across your videos! :) I'm going to give this a shot sometime. And I've read really really good reviews about this product. btw, I love your accent :D
You're lucky it has a pump cuz in the US it's just in a glass bottle it sucks. But you're right the foundation is really good. I have really pale skin and it's actually light enough for me. I use N1.
@EasyAccessBeauty That's weird, because I bought a bottle of the same stuff about a year ago. It has a red pump. I got it at Longs Drugs in California.
WHAT? Over here, just a month ago? No way! Last time I checked at the drugstore they had the pump. I just got some and it's in a stupid glass bottle with a screw-on cap!
No, I got it a year ago :P But I just checked again, and I can only find it with a pump... I've honestly never seen it with just a plain cap! Maybe they've changed the product design in the U.S. I moved to Canada four months ago, and they have the pumps here, too. lol But get this- I checked the L'oreal Paris website, and the US site has the screw on caps, but the Canada site has pumps... So yeah, they probably changed it :(
Ooh, heheh... Sorry, misread your message. And yes, that's a plausible idea... Although to get all of it out I will have to slosh some water into the remaining foundation in the glass bottle.
ooooh yeah well you could break it open... ... ... but I would NOT recommend that XD Then again, with the regular pump bottle, you don't get all of it out anyway lol
i thought it was too good to be tru, it was lol u said 15..o well. i know it sounds crazy for a foundation to have spf 50 but i found a mosturizer from nuetrogena that has spf45, only problem is its too strong for my skin
i really like a concealer i have from l'oreal so i was thinking i oughta try this..then u said it had spf 50! thats insane and awesome, i mite just wear it for that (cause i dont need it), but i do need spf and sunblock is greasy. i kinda sont believe it rite now but im gonna go check tht out lol thank you
I just bought this foundation a few days ago after I saw your review. I also got the powder compact in the same color. I'm n2, and it matches great and isn't super thick. Thanks for doing this! :-)
This sounds good. I'm going to try it. Been looking at trying a drug store brand to alternate with my more expensive brand for ages but couldn't decide which! My skin can be quite dry so I think this may be ok for me.
