L'Oreal True match | Is it yours?

You can see my camera in the pump! 
Something different for today, a completely honest, not-paid-for-at-all foundation review!
*cough* one day late... *cough*

Aimed at anyone who dreams of a flawless face and perfect skin. L'Oreal True Match - My all time favourite!
I have only ever tried around a handful of different foundations but the L'Oreal true match is by far the one most worthy of my scarce moneys. It is quite pricey for a foundation (£9.99 at Boots) but I personally think its decent for a tenner.
 As it says on the front, it is very easy to blend. The shade I own is N1 ivory and matches my skin tone near enough. In store and online, I have noticed that this foundation caters well for all the pale people of the world. However, I've not seen as many darker shades which is a bit disappointing. 

 As I live in the UK, SPF is not very important to me. At all. It is England we are talking about, known for its brilliant weather and sunshine. Anyhow, this is a serious plus if you live in a warmer country.

I rarely have problems with dry skin but get an oily 'T-zone' and this foundation works fine for me. I do have days where it applies really smoothly, good to go, brill. But I also have days where it cakes up and basically goes to sh't. It's most likely my fault but when I do wear it, it stays on for around 5 hours without any primer (just moisturizer) . I need it to stay on my face for my entire school day, although I rarely wear anything more than moisturizer and mascara to school, the struggle of early mornings! 

I apply this foundation with my Real Techniques ''Expert face brush''
I would recommend this foundation, just make sure you check that it is the right shade for your face before purchasing it. Wearing primer underneath will definitely make this L'Oreal foundation more long lasting. Oops, i forgot to mention- I sometimes use this as a concealer and that seems to work really well?

I hope this was helpful to anyone on a budget, looking for a decent foundation. Check out the primer I use and the foundation below!
