Labels & Packaging

I love the glass bottle. It's sleek and makes it feel expensive. The pump is absolutely great. It has never failed me and I'm able to get just the right amount of product.

Ingredients

I hope you can read that. LOL.

In Action

I love the consistency of this liquid foundation because it's not runny, just the right amount of creaminess. In my experience though, there's a bit of tug during application so it's better if I use it with a moisturizer or a primer underneath. It is easily absorbed and sets easily so I prefer using it with a damp sponge. 

Left: a dollop//Right: blended out

Check out the coverage in this photo. It may look like 104 Golden Beige is tad too light for my skin but I am a acidic so by the time the foundation oxidizes it's my right shade. I applied half of my face with this foundation and I bet you can see the demarcation. It covered my baggies well, huh?

Based on the label, it says that there's :
-No transfer
-No Visible Imperfections
-No Visible Shine
-No Dry-out
-No Mask Effect
If I have to be specific about these promises, based on my experience, here are my opinions point by point.
-There are minimal transfers once the foundation is set. Unless you rub it off on purpose of course.
- It covered some of my imperfections, like my baggies but my pores and scars are still pretty much visible.
-No visible shine upon application but of course I'm an oily gal so by noontime, I expect oils to seep.
-No Dry-out? Not applicable to me because I'm pretty much oily.
- I agree that there's no mask effect. It blends pretty well, specially if I use a damp sponge.

Overall

Of course, it still boils down to one thing: do I love it or not.

TBH, I see a huge difference on my skin when I put this foundation on. It may not totally cover all my imperfections but it already does a heck of a job just by brightening and evening out my complexion. I get the help of a primer for my pores.

It's lightweight and doesn't feel messy on my face even if I sweat a bit. It pretty much stays on my face the whole working day and with just a touch up with powder on the 4th or the 5th hour of wearing this, I still look fine. I don't know if you can stay fresh for 24 hours as its name claims but I'm not willing to try wearing this for a whole day. LOL. 

Yes I love it and it's gonna stay on my list of good foundations. When I run out of this one though I will try the other L'Oreal variant, the  matte one that comes in a tube.

PS. With a little help of setting powder and primer, here's how the foundation looks on me.
