L'oreal is winning in the foundation field at the moment. I have three different foundations i'm alternating between, all from L'oreal, all very different.
This particular one has phenomenal staying power, as suggested by the name. I wore this for twenty hours straight and it did not budge, not one bit. It looked fresh as a daisy for TWENTY hours. More often than not I get home, look in the mirror and think "why did nobody tell me I looked like this?!" but with this I got home and let out a little gasp.
The product is very thick with high coverage, which I don't need but it's just so good. There's no dodgy smell and the dispenser has a little tube at one end so you can moderate how much comes out, and it's really sanitary. I tend to steer away from things I have to dip my fingers into- all that bacteria. *shudders*
I have very dry skin so was scared, as this has a matte finish, it would dry out my skin more and cling to the dry patches but it did neither so I was pleasantly surprised.
I opted for a darker shade than my usual skintone to cancel out some bruising I had on my face, but this will definitely be my summer foundation as it will keep the oils at bay, whilst staying flawless for hours.
It's available for £6.99 which is an absolute bargain as high end brands would charge £40+ for something of the same standard.
What's your must have foundation?
Wow, that's some seriously impressive staying power! I usually use Revlon Colorstay but even that doesn't compare in longevity.

Ooo i'll have to try that next!
DeleteEveryone keeps raving about this foundation! I really can't wait to try it out. I made a deal with myself that I wouldn't purchase any more makeup until I finish up another product I already own. It's been a struggle, haha. I wonder why the packaging of this same foundation is different in the US? Hmm.

I always find it weird when brands do that! Like how it's TK Maxx in the uk and TJ Maxx in the us... WHY?!
DeleteThat's awesome! I use clinique's foundation but i should definitely try this out! does it come in a variety of shades?
ReplyDeleteheyimhillary.blogspot.ca
It comes in a bunch, not super dark which is a shame but there is still a variety! Let me know if you pick it up!
DeleteThanx for sharing!

Love it!
DeleteFab review, I'd love to give this a go! I have oily/combo skin so the matte style sounds perfect. I've never tried foundations with high coverage but I'm super tempted to try this one out! :)

You should, let me know how you get on with it!
DeleteI am loving this foundation so so so much! I'll have to pick it up in a slightly darker colour for the summer, but I own the perfect shade at the moment, which is 11 vanilla. It matches my actual skin perfectly! x

Thank you <3
DeleteTwenty hours straight? That is impressive.
ReplyDeleteQuestion is: What on earth have you been doing so long that required makeup?

Hahaha, good question! I was at an audition at 6AM then being a MUA until 12pm and didn't remove my make-up until after I had my dinner, tough life!
DeleteThis looks incredible- I'll definitely be picking it up next time I'm in Boots!

It really is!
DeleteThis looks great, good work L'Oreal! I have dry skin too, and I find it so hard to find a foundation that doesn't cling to my dry patches. Looks like I may have to investigate this one! And what a bargain, too.
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised at the price too! I think it may be an offer though.
DeleteMost people rave about this, but I've definitely seen some people who just don't understand the hype and hate it, I think I'll just have to bite the bullet and try it!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, just followed!

That's similar to most things IMO, like, I love "They're real" but others just don't- I guess it just depends if you can work with it! But for £6.49 I think you should bite the bullet!
DeleteI really want to try this foundation, I have heard so many great things about it.

I've stopped wearing foundation yet I seem drawn to foundation reviews. Maybe I'll get back into it? xx

With this foundation I wouldn't blame you if you did!
DeleteI just bought this foundation I love it! x
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad! I've seen mixed reviews but in my eyes it's a winner!
DeleteMy pleasure!
ReplyDeleteI've heard really good things about this and it's really affordable. I was worried because I get dry skin too, but it looks like that isn't an issue with this.
ReplyDeleteMiss Stylicious
The price is SO surprising- such a gem!
DeleteI just purchased the Rimmel Matte Foundation and I LOVE that, this is for SURE next on my list!
