Hey Guys!
I've been wanting to try a new drugstore foundation for a while now and decided, after reading several positive reviews, to pick up L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation. I ended up choosing the shade W6 Sun Beige. I probably should have picked up a lighter shade as I haven't been self tanning as much lately, but ended up getting W6 - Sun Beige anyways for the days when I have been self tanning. What I liked about this foundation is that I had no idea what colour I was, but saw that the shades were broken down into three categories: Cool, Neutral, and Warm. I love when companies create a range for different undertones because it makes it much easier, as a consumer, to pick out a shade in your undertone range, rather than picking through all available shades with different undertones. I have warm undertones so I knew that my colour selection was limited to the "Warm" shades.

Initially I imagined the consistency to be a little thicker than what it was. The foundation is quite thin. The term "Super-Blendable" is very appropriate for this foundation, as the formula just melts into the skin and looks very natural. I would definitely say that this has light coverage, but can be built to a medium coverage without looking the slightest bit cakey. I love how natural and healthy my skin looks after using this. The lasting power is quite good as well and does not come off patchy (the problem I had with Neutrogena Healthy Skin). For reference, I have normal to dry skin. For those with oily skin, I would suggest setting this with a powder as it can be quite dewy. Overall, I am very impressed with this foundation and think its a great alternative to my high end brands (i.e., NARS Sheer Glow and Make Up For Ever HD). I plan on picking up a lighter shade in addition to W6 for mixing and to be able to wear this when I'm not quite so tan.
I tried using all Drugstore products for this look. The only thing that isn't drugstore is my Make Up For Ever Waterproof Brow Corrector, but I couldn't live without this stuff! LOL I was just chilling in my pjs watching the super bowl. This is usually one of my go-to looks I do for warmer months, especially the summer, but I felt like rocking bright lips and gold lids for a change.
