I'm looking for full coverage foundation on a budget. So drug store options are probably the best route for me.. Not looking to spend an arm and a leg. I've tried fit me foundation and hated it.. Don't know if it would be considered full coverage but it was AWFUL in my opinion. Watery and greasy.. Thanks in advance for any help :) also don't want something that's going to clog my pores an excessive amount.

What's your skin type?

My skin isn't oily but it's not dry either lol. I moisturize my skin religiously because if I don't it gets dry but since I do moisturize it I'd consider it normal.. Sorry if that's confusing?

It sounds like you have normal.

I would recommend Loreal true match.

Loreal true match or loreal true match lumi. True match has a tiny bit more coverage than the lumi but the lumi is delicately buildable.

Thanks ladies! Does true match look cakey at all?

Nope, I use it everyday and apply a powder afterwards and it doesn't look cakey at all (:

It also depends how you apply it
I apply it with a damp beauty blender therefore the beauty blender is getting more product

Okay thanks!! In your experience is it best applied with a brush or sponge? Sorry so many questions!

Haha no problem!
also I apply it to my face first with my fingers then I blend it with the beauty blender (:

I didn't like true match personally, but maybe that's because I have really oily skin. You should try Revlon color stay! If you're acne prone, however, it might not be the best.

I also have super oily skin, but I set it with a matte setting powder (:

I have normal skin with dry patches and it worked fine until my dry patches got REALLY DRY. I applied it with my fingers and it looked great.

I'm not acne prone, just don't want something that gives me acne haha. I started using cargo hd foundation and it DESTROYED my skin. I went from seriously no acne to little acne bumps all over my face I'm still struggling to get rid of. I'll definitely look into both!

What's the difference between the regular true match and the lumi? Other than it's a little less coverage?

Feb 12, 2015

Shanae J.

The lumi is supposed to be "luminous." I believe the true match is $8.99 & the lumi is $11.99.

Lumi is very sheer & dry dewy while the regular true match has medium-full coverage & well it doesn't dry matte & it doesn't dry dewy either

Try the Revlon Colourstay. Super full coverage without being cakey, long wearing, and it comes in both a dry/normal and oily/combo skin formula.

I meant Lumi drys* dewy lol

I third Revlon colorstay. I've heard nothing but great things ^

I like the regular true match rather than the Lumi because I like the coverage & finish better.

Thank you all so much! You're all lifesavers :)

Colorstay sucked so bad lol unless you like the feeling of a mask lol, I'd rather recommend true match out of the two..its alright, it's definitely not full coverage though, more so medium. Not sure if it's buildable, I never tried building the coverage haha!
