Reviewers say that L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup SPF 17 is a real bargain, especially considering the large color selection it provides. This liquid foundation makeup is available in 24 shades, ranging from porcelain to cocoa -- in warm, cool and neutral tones. Users at MakeupAlley.com and TotalBeauty.com say that it is easy to blend, looks natural and is lightweight. The foundation gets high marks from professional reviewers as well. It has won beauty awards for several years from beauty magazines such as Allure and InStyle for providing natural-looking coverage at an affordable price. Skin care expert Paula Begoun gives it her highest rating and says that it has a silky texture that feels nice on skin and that the shades are excellent. She warns that a few of the cool shades are a bit too pink. She also says that L'Oreal True Match reduces oily shine but it tends to emphasize dry skin and fine lines. The liquid foundation is oil- and fragrance-free and provides light to medium coverage with a powdery matte finish. If you prefer a powder formula, MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation (*Est. $27) also gets high marks.
