Face of the day.

So as I was sifting through my Christmas presents which are still sitting in a pile in my room,

I rediscovered a little set of L'oreal goodies, containing a mascara, a lipstick & amongst other things a sample of L'oreals' True Match foundation.

Always up for trying new things I applied the foundation after moisturising.

On first application, True Match seems super silky & smooth. It's medium - full coverage & is definitely buildable.

I applied it using my fingers then buffed in using a Real Techniques buffing brush.

True Match leaves a matte looking finish without making your skin look dull, it still lets your natural glow come through.

The sample was in shade W3 Golden Beige - which was slightly too dark but still looked acceptable!

L'oreal Paris True Match Foundation is available at all drugstores & is priced at £10.29

Adore the finish - flawless.

Will definitely be purchasing!

Along with True Match I'm wearing:

- MAC Paint Pot in 'Bare Study'

- L'oreal Super Liner

- L'oreal Telescopic Lash Mascara

- MAC 'Spiked' brow pencil

- NARS 'Laguna' bronzer

- MAC cremeblend blush in 'Posey'

- Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 05

Hello!

Hi Everyone,

This is officially my first post!

I've decided to start blogging about make-up.. finally!

I'll mainly be posting make-up looks; inspired by celebrities or created by myself.

But I'll also throw in a few product reviews..and anything else beauty related that takes my fancy.

If anyone has any looks they want me to create.. all you need to do is ask :)

Love, Poppy. X
