L'Oreal Paris

Want to start by saying I initially loved this foundation and wish I could continue to wear it! It has a good colour match for me, looks very nice and lasts really well! BUT I think due to the fragrance and alcohol content I cannot wear it. I tried it out for about 5 months... I started to develop very bad eczema around my eyes on and off (swelling, burning, itchy dry patches). I assumed that it was seasonal allergies. I tried creams and allergy tabs to fix it...One day decided I should just use up the last of my old foundation rather than waste it (I had totally decided the Loreal foundation was my new go to). I had about 4 weeks left of my old foundation. Well in that time up until now my eye issue has totally resolved. It could be coincidence, but honestly I think the foundation was the cause. I have thought of maybe now trying again to see, but honestly it was that bad I dont want to go through it again. Obviously very disappointed as I really liked the product!!

I love it! Makes my hair look good all day all night without being stiff. I dont have a problem with the smell, sure its strong in the beginning but after a while you cant smell it. Will continue to repurchase!!!

This is my favorite foundation for my less-oily days, or when the weather is colder. It's beautifully blendable and applies well by hand or brush. It's a moist yet non-greasy finish. Unlike most anti-aging products, it's not pasty and oily. (Why does every beauty company assume that everyone's skin is dry when they get old? There is a billion dollars lying on the floor waiting for someone to make anti-aging products for oily skin. /rant) The skinlike coverage is high medium and wears gracefully, with no clumping or creasing. You will need powder to set this if you're oily or the weather is hot...I can't speak to how this would wear on a drier complexion, but it ought to be (no pun intended) perfect. I wear 160 Rose Beige and it matches me extremely well. I'm not a fan of the jamming-prone pump bottle. More likely than not, you'll eventually have to unscrew the top and use the pump straw as a makeshift applicator. Still a great product. If you wait for sales you can get this for about $20, which is eminently reasonable.
