L'Oréal Translucide Lasting Luminous Makeup

I am a sucker for 'drug-store foundations' and I rush out to buy the latest cheap make-up in the vain hope that it will be the Holy Grail of Foundations and I'll live happily ever after. But I always come back to L'Oreal Translucide. I guess it's the closest I'm going to get to my Holy Grail. My skin is fairly problematic. I usually have a couple of spots to conceal at any one time. I have some acne scars as well, and to even out my skin tone is the main reason I wear foundation at all. L'Oreal Translucide is great.

CONTAINER of L'Oreal Translucide - Advantages: The product itself has been invaluable to me. I have sun damaged skin and the translucide makeup camouflages the imperfections perfectly. - Disadvantages: The bottle has an attractive shape.

It has to be wiped., Considering the price, I feel the product would flow better and be cleaner to use if it were packaged in a tube (like toothpaste). Consider the advantages when travelling - the bottle tends to allow leakage.

I wear this for work as during the winter months my skin (along with practically everyone elses') gets very dry and frankly I need a bit of slap on to look half-human. I don't however, want to ...  Read the complete review

I dont know what possesed me to buy this foundation!, i normally despise foundations because they're so heavy and un-natural looking, i guess i bought this foundation because it is promoted as being lighter and more translucent than other foundations. I can now rave that it is the best foundation i have ever tried, and has converted me to using foundation!!! Having struggeled in the past to find a foudation that wasnt bright orange on my quite-pale skin, i was very pleased to find that their palest colour (sorry, dunno what its called) was a perfect match!! woohoo! and i think their colours would stretch to suit most skin colours because of the more ...  Read the complete review
