L'Oreal True Match Minerals

Well! I couldn't resist buying this when I saw the adverts, and purchased it from Boots a year ago for £8.99. Its not much different in price right now. The advert seemed to promise full coverage, colours that blend with any skin tone to match it 100% a flawless finish to boot. It seemed like just what I needed. Added to that it was neat and tidy- you get a little pot of the facial powder which is covered by a flat sieve type cover and then a brush. All covered in a thick plastic lid. I will let you on in a little secret here. About 70% of the time, I end up putting on my war paint (natural looking though it may be!) on public transport. I rarely ...  Read the complete review

I normally wear alot of eye make-up but not really much make-up on my face, just some powder, so my face isn't shiny, and some bronzer as Im really pale, I don't normally wear foundation at all but Im glad I tried this one! When I first heard all the hype about natural make-up I was really excited, make-up thats not bad for your skin and you can even sleep in it, bring it on! The only problem is, it's really expensive! It's about £13 for this pot of powder/foundation and although it does last a long time, its still pricey. I first tried bare essentials natural make-up and loved the bronzer but I wasn't impressed with the powder/foundation at all so ...  Read the complete review

I've heard great things about this so when my maxfactor Lasting Performance ran out this week I thought it was time to try a powder. PACKAGING/PRODUCT The Boots that I bought my True match from is a very large one & carried True match in 9 different shades; from Vanilla Rose to Beige. I went for Golden Ivory. The packaging & presentation of the product is great. It comes in a nice sturdy container; powder in a compartment at the bottom with a brush on top covered in a chunky lid. It's not the sort of bottle that feels like it could crack in your makeup bag & the brush is quality; solid but soft. To use the powder you need to tap the bottom of ...  Read the complete review

Or at least I like to call that my complexion colour. Usually I fall into the ivory or nude category. Normally I don't wear any make-up but when we go out I do tend to push the boat out and slap a new face on. Here is where my problem normally lies. Before now I have always tried the liquid or matt foundations. One example is when we were off to a wedding party and I applied the face of a sexy temptress. Happy with my face I then put the strapless dress on to find that my face was a different colour to my neck and shoulders! OOPS! That will never do. Now normally I don't wear very much make-up when going out but as I have very fair skin the tiniest of amounts ...  Read the complete review

This product is available in a variety of shades to suit your skin colour, and ranges in price from around £8 to £14, depending where you buy it. The product comes in a little plastic container, and the bottom of the brush acts as a lid on the foundation. There is a clear plastic lid to protect the brush. The foundation compartment is clear, so you can see how much of the powder you have used. The bottom of the brush, in between the brush and foundation, is made of silver plastic. All in all, the product does look attractive, and is an ideal size/shape to put in your handbag. To use the product, you remove the clear lid off the brush, unscrew the ...  Read the complete review
