First Impressions: True Match Lumi Cushion

Hi Everyone! I recently stumbled across this new L'Oreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation at my local LA Walgreens and since there aren't much reviews out yet thought I would put my two cents in.

Packaging: 

I love the packaging of this product. It comes with a sponge that works well with the formula of the foundation and applies it evenly on the skin, I did not feel like I needed to have my own tools to use this foundation.

My only negative thing to say about the packaging is that issue of sanitation, especially with the sponge. Other than that I have had no issues with the foundation spilling or it being messy. 

Claims: 

• Finish: Fresh & Luminous
• Coverage: Sheer to medium, buildable coverage
• For all skin types. Safe for sensitive skin.

I would have to say that the foundation lives up to all the claims. It is a very sheer coverage which you can build up to medium and it won't feel cacky. However, if you prefer matt finish or full coverage this foundation is not for you. The luminous part you can always fix with a quick dusting of powder but for me personally the luminous would shine through after three hours. It wasn't bad to the point where I looked like a disco ball but it was definitely noticeable for me (and I have an oily T-zone). But in the bright side it didn't cling to any dry patches. 

Final Thoughts: 

My only other complaint about this foundation is the limited range that it offers, especially for woman of color. It reminds me a lot of Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation except that with Maybelline you can build up the coverage to full. My problem with both is that I would get shiny throughout the day, even when using a mattifying primer and powder. L'oreal does a better job at controlling my oils than did Maybelline. Ideally this would be great for someone who doesn't like full coverage foundations and wants somethings easy and maybe even on the go. Everyone's skin is different so I wouldn't completely throw it off your list if you have oily skin just work with powders and primers (and blotting sheets).
