L'Oreal Paris True Match Mineral Loose Powder Foundation, Soft Ivory, 0.35oz

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've been wearing this for at least 3 years. This covers well and I like it much better than Bare Min eras or ColoreScience. Now, let's address problems others have had: 1) The color is horrible! If the color isn't right, it isn't a product flaw...you simply chose the wrong shade. 2) It's messy! Well of course it is! It's loose powder, what did you expect! 3) The brush sucks! Think about it...have you ever purchased any makeup with a kick-butt brush that was absolutely perfect? Well, I sure havent. That's why I have my own brushes. The ones provided with makeup are cheap and inferior because you are paying for the makeup, not the application device. I dispense foundation in the clear lid, and use my big fat kabuki brush, which I love dearly. 4) It's heavy and feels like a ton of goop on my face! Um, not in my world. Maybe you are just using too much, which brings me to #5... 5) It doesn't cover well enough! It covers VERY WELL, but for those of us with very challenging completions who need a foundation that covers "very well" x 10...Putting on 6 coats of mineral foundation is not the answer. What is the answer? I have a bottle of Loreal Visible Lift foundation in the very same shade as my mineral foundation. I apply a little of that first, and follow with the mineral. Not only does this afford supreme coverage, it is better on women who are no longer 22 years old and may be developing a few fine lines. This will keep the powder from sinking into and highlighting fine lines. Ok, that's about it, other than I have tried every foundation under the sun. I like this one best. It suits my needs and whoa! The price is awesome compared to offerings from department stores.

I've worn mineral powders for years and somehow I missed this one, but tried it when I couldn't get the right shade for my old brand. I love it - amazing coverage with very little product and it lasted almost all day. Easily buildable in any areas you want. Never got dry, cakey or powdery looking or settled into lines. I got Soft Ivory which is just slightly too light - can't figure out which is the next darkest but still neutral. I have to agree that the packaging and brush are bizarrely awful since you can't just tap powder into the lid and swirl the brush in it as it's too short. I just tap into another lid and swirl a better brush and then apply. The contents are more important than the packaging so I will continue to purchase this hopefully forever.

I have used this for years and it feels like there is nothing on my face. No greasy or cakey feel. My shade is hard to find, so I was pleased to set up a subscription. It is powder and it gets into the air and coats everything around it. I apply with a small cosmetic powder puff. I have never used the attached brush, but did use a good quality makeup brush for a while, but decided I was wasting a lot more that way. I have very sensitive skin and this is no problem. Never itchy, never causes a rash. It is buildable, so you can add more to problem spots. I do often need to "powder my nose" or around my mouth after wiping them with tissues or napkins, but otherwise it stays on really well. If I am going out after work, I will often use what is on the puff to touch up a bit.

The lighter shades of this item seem to be discontinued.....are sometimes available at a greatly elevated price???

I wasn't holding out much hope that this mineral powder would be any different than the others, but I WAS WRONG! It went on really smooth - recommend using a powder foundation brush with a little more stiffness than the one on the container if you want an "airbrush" finish. The coverage is buildable which is super nice. I wore it know I was going to be outside in the 90+ heat, and yes, I got a little "dewy" but not the shiny "oil slick" I usually get throughout the day, I was amazed. The color really blended nicely with my ruddy, pale freckled skin and didn't look "cakey" or off, and my freckles still came through. Would recommend putting any concealer or other cream face make up on BEFORE applying the powder. Can't wait to see if it remains this amazing!

My favorite. Hate that they discontinued it.

I thought this would be a great product for a touch up since the brush is incorporated with it. I was wrong. Because there is no way to close the powder holes when I open it the powder goes everywhere. Ok for home use but definitely not for touch ups.

Ce produit a été pour moi la perfection en matière de fond de teint en poudre. Je ne trouve plus ma teinte depuis des années en magasin, j’etais donc ravie de pouvoir le trouver à prix raisonnable sur Amazon !!! Je trouve néanmoins que le produit a perdu en qualité (changement de composition ?), mais malgré tout satisfaite

A nice foundation, that doesn't cause me to break out the way that other products do. I like that it actually matches my very pale skin. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have been using this products many years, it is a great product and perfect combination with mineral. But, can't find any retail stores, I don't understand why they pulled out form the shelves. Luckily, still make them available via Amazon.

Eigentlich gutes Produkt, leider viel zu hell. Die Farbangabe stimmt nicht. Deckt sehr gut, nur sieht man dann aus wie ein Kalkeimer😒

Even if the price is little bit high also the product is of good quality. Using this is better than the local ones.The branded product from loreal paris.
