This shade is a bit lighter than my skin tone. The color W3 Nude beige is a light-medium shade that has peachy undertone, slightly grayish. A little blush and bronzer did the trick.
Now on to the road test!
As you can see, I have a lot of acne scars. I also have uneven skin tone. Will this foundation cover those imperfections?
One layer. It has full coverage. It has a demi-matte finish. It is not sticky, it is very blendable. This is at 4:38 pm
My complete makeup of the day! :) This was taken at exactly 5:08 pm
at 6:42 pm, 2 hours on wearing the foundation, it already made my face shiny.
at 8:41 pm. My face is shiny again. :( I decided to put on some powder to see if it will help.
Not too shiny. This is at 11:08 pm. The powder definitely help. I used maybelline clear smooth all in one powder.
Last update at 4:12 am. Almost 12 hours since I have applied the foundation. As you can see, I'm really shiny. But the coverage remained intact!! That's amazing right? Take note, I have a very oily skin! If you have normal or combination skin, you can get away with no touch ups throughout the day. I tend to touch up 3 to 4 times when I am wearing this. Not necessarily putting powder, just blotting the oil out of my face. I just pat some tissue over and bam! It looks like I have just applied it again.
I have been using this for 1 month now. I don't know if this is the culprit of whiteheads popping out of my nose. It definitely emphasize them. If you don't have whiteheads, then good for you. I do have and t hate it!!!
Yes I wore this foundation from 4 pm in the afternoon until 4 am in the morning! :)
Let's sum it up!
What I like about it:
- It lasts a full 8-hour wear.
- It has a wide range of shades. L'Oreal has 15 shades available.
- It is really blendable.
- It has spf 17.
- Not sticky, it has a demi-matte finish.
What I don't like about it:
- It can be cakey. Be sure to moisturize well to prevent caking.
- It has no oil-control and I have very oily skin. :(
- You have to touch up several times to remove shine!
- It is kinda expensive. At least for me.
Will I repurchase? No. I prefer the Revlon Colorstay than this one.
Thank you for reading!! I hope you found this helpful. :) God bless!

Revlon Colorstay is my go-to drugstore foundation. <3 I was thinking of trying this out because I was curious about this but I guess I would skip it and stick to Colorstay instead. :P Thanks for the review! :D

DeleteI love this foundation. I've never used it on it's own though. I have the darkest of the cool and warm shades that I use to mix with lighter shades. Try using Johnson's baby powder to set the foundation, it did a better job at keeping my face shine-free compared to the pressed powders I own.

I actually set this with tiny buds baby powder, it still made my face oily. Tiny buds worked well with all of my foundations. :D
