This foundation is a light to medium coverage, depending on how you use it. I have normal skin when it comes to oil, the foundation works best when set with powder. I wouldn't recommend the foundation to people with oily skin due to a glowing shine it gives. I love this foundation, I have tan skin and bought 330 sand color. It's amazing, my mother and I are really into new make up and she couldn't get over how well it sets. I would love to try this again but I usually try new foundations

so I was out and looking for a new foundation so I got this one ^_^
What can I say....
It looks amazing for about 3 hours-ish and then it starts to glide of my face. This could be because I have combo/oily skin. I don't use a primer so that could contribute to it. If I set it with powder it stays a little bit longer on my face.
I use this at school and after lunch time 2pm... You can barely see any trace of the foundation on me and it just looks like it moved all around the place.
Enought about negatives!
PROS:
- it comes in a pump
- good price for a drugstore foundation
- reasonable amount
- range of colours
- Dewy finish
CONS
- doesn't stay on
I will not buy this product again. Here goes me trying to find another foundation! x

I bought this product on a whim at the drugstore and decided "why not?" I had been using the Covergirl Outlast 3-in-1 Foundation, which I loved, but I was concerned that it may have been breaking me out, so I picked up Match Perfection (in 101 Classic Ivory because I am ghostly pale) and thought I should give it a whirl. The color is a smidge dark for me, but that is to be expected because I am whiter than white. The coverage is medium but it does a nice job of evening out my skin tone without looking heavy or cakey. This foundation looks very natural and glowing, which I love because although I have acne, I have dry skin too. I am not sure if this would be a good foundation for oily skin because of the glowing look. This foundation lasts really well (and I live in a sweltering climate) and looks beautiful on the skin. I have gotten a ton of compliments on my skin since I started wearing this product. My only quarrel is that the tone is tinge yellower than I would like and that the bottle doesn't have pump, but neither are big issues. I will be repurchasing this product and I highly recommend it!

Fantastic product! Can either be very light and sheer if that is what you like, however is also very build able, and can have great coverage if worked into the skin well. Very impressed with this product. Also, as the product is called, it matches and blends into your skin very well!

I did not like this product what so ever. It sets into my fine lines. I don't even really have fine lines ,I'm a teenager, but this foundation makes me look like I'm 5 times my age. My skin looks super cakey, do not buy.

I got this in true ivory but it doesn't match the best (that could be that I just chose the wrong shade though) - I found it to be pretty orange based though. It goes on pretty smooth and feels light. I wouldn't recommend this to people with oily skin though as it is quite oily itself. I have an old version it seems but the new one has a pump which is awesome because it can get a bit messy without one. The only thing that really put me off was the smell - it's really not that bad but I just prefer things that don't smell, it smells a lot like sun screen. I will not be repurchasing this item again, only because I'd like to try out other foundations. It's really good for the price though and is a lot better than some of the other cheaper and more expensive foundations I have used. Thumbs up!

pours out to quickly, gets kid of messy. packaging aside, the coverage is not bad but does get pretty cakey and looks dry. If you sweat in this product it comes off in sort chunk like, really not for me.

Normally i always stuck to MAC foundations (Studio Sculpt & Face and Body), but those made my skin look dry and flakey. So i tried the Rimmel one, and wow. Ivory is too dark for me and here in Belgium we don't have the palest shade, ugh -_- but when it oxidizes it gets really dark but i'll just mix it in with my Face and Body white and it's ok! Besides that i love the smell, i love the coverage, it's easy to blend, and my bottle comes with a pump which is awesome. It was 12,99 euros for me.

I've had my eye on the YSL touché éclat foundation after trying a sample of it from sephora but couldn't get myself to spend 50 dollars on it. Luckily I came across this foundation and call me crazy but it is very comparable to the YSL one.

The smell is very similar, they are both light, clean and really pleasant smelling.

The consistency is similar as well. Both are quite runny and blend really easily.

The coverage is a bit less than the YSL one but it gives the same dewy, light reflecting finish. In no means am I saying it has shimmer in it but it does brighten up my complexion nicely.

I do not like that it does not have a pump or come in a squeeze tube however I do like that it is in a glass container.

I have seen this foundation in practically every drugstore however I have seen the most shade selections at my local walmart. There are a couple of "new" shades at walmart that I have not seen anywhere else. I paid between 4 dollars and some cents or 5 dollars for my standard 1 fl oz bottle.

I picked mine up in light nude because nude was way too dark for me.

It is a medium coverage foundation which is perfect for what I'm looking for and feels very light on the skin. If I ever have to lighten up the foundation I just pump a little of my cetaphil face moisturizer (which is a very basic, simple and light lotion- no fragrance )

I apply this with either a damp beauty blender or a dense kabuki brush.

Bought this foundation not expecting too much seeing as it's so cheap and was pleasantly surprised!

I have a fairly normal skin tone and 100 ivory matched my skin perfectly.

I find it to be quite a light foundation which blends into skin very well! It never makes me look orange whether I'm going for light or heavy coverage.

It covers blemishes fairly well and redness extremely well.

It doesn't stay put all day on it's own but I find with a simple powder over the top it keeps skin looking pretty flawless all day.

I love how sheer and natural looking this foundation is and how well it can blend in. I will definitely be repurchasing as for an everyday foundation it certainly ticks all the boxes!

This foundation felt really oily on my skin and it seemed to slide of my face during the day and by the end of the day there was nothing to wipe off even when I set it with a powder.
This foundation did make me break out a little bit and the pump kept getting stuck down and i had to keep pulling it up.
The colour soft beige matched me really well but I would not buy this foundation again.

this foundation is amazing! With a good concealer it covers my face so that it looks blemish free. You can find it at pretty much any store, and it doesn't even cost that much! it comes with tons of product; i have been using it pretty much everyday for the last 8 months and still have quite a bit left. the pump t now comes with is great as it makes it so much easier to squeeze the right amount of foundation out. the only thing i would say is that if i have not moisturized before it can be a bit drying. i love this product though!

LOOOOOVE! Love! Not drying, not oily. Just perfect. The lightest shade (Classic Ivory?) is light enough for my super duper fair complexion. So cheap! Blends like a dream with a beauty blender knockoff. A little perfumey for my tastes but it fades. No breakouts! Wish it was in a pump but what can you expect for $5? Will definitely repurchase!

Using this foundation the past two years or so, it is the first foundation I found that suits my skin.
Applied with a foundation brush I find it lightweight, concealing, covers blemishes and uneven skin. Can be harsh on dry skin areas.
I seal with a light bronzer and it lasts several hours.
It's obvious you're wearing makeup but its looks light and Doesn't look "caked" onto your face, like more expensive brands do.

This product didn't work well for my oily skin. The consistency is great, but once it's been on, I feel like its just sitting on my skin. It seems to wipe off easily onto my fingers and clothes. This might be better for people with normal to dry skin. The color ivory was nice for my skin. The packaging would be better if it was in a pump. It is easy to apply and not too thick.

I have tried just about every drug store foundation out there. Including this one. This foundation has a mix of good and bad. I bought the Nude and it was a perfect match. You have to pull pretty hard to get the pump to come up. But I like the pump.

I found the coverage to be just so so. I need a full coverage foundation. This is definitely NOT full coverage. It is medium coverage at best. It also doesn't last that long. It looks great when you first apply it, but it fades away to nothing quickly. Even after finishing it off with powder, I got maybe 3 hours of coverage. I would apply it around 9 am and by noon it would be almost non-existant. The shine and redness were apparent on my face. If you have a flawless complexion (which I definitely don't) and don't need much coverage in your foundation, this might be a good choice. But if you are looking for full-coverage, you need to look elsewear.

I have always used mineral foundation and decided one day to try out a liquid one as well, just to see the difference. This one was alright and gives quite a nice coverage, but I really did not like the packaging as it leaks a bit now and then. I will most likely go back to mineral foundation as it suited me the best, but this foundation is pretty good too. Just not my thing.
