True to Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation ​

It’s a pass!

First thing: why are all the five-star reviews from people that receive the foundation for free? It seems completely misleading and scamy. Rant over, review starting now; for a liquid foundation this is dry and cakey. If you have dry skin, skip it. If you have texture anywhere on your face, skip it. If you have wrinkles, skip it. If you want decent coverage, skip it. It cakes up when trying to build coverage, clings to every dry spot, piece of texture, wrinkle on your skin…even if you...

Very impressed! Oily light olive skin

I picked this up in store after being shocked by the seamless shade match. I don’t get to match base items very often, or they end up being discontinued. I’ve worn this in humid climate on my oily skin, setting it with Huda’s loose powder because I am oily and it is humid, and I am so impressed. This is one of the few foundations that does not break around my nose and the corners of my mouth. It is a medium coverage formula and does not 100% cover my acne scars, but the whipped texture is...

Breaks up no matter what I do!

After having used this over 30 times over the past 3 months, I despise this foundation... no matter what I do, it breaks apart/pills on my face. I've tried using no primer, different primers, different moisturizers, just the foundation alone, etc. any combination you can can think of, I've tried it and it breaks apart on my skin. I have dry skin, so maybe this foundation just doesn't work for dry skin. maybe it is just my skin, but I can never get it to work. no matter what I do, it...

Impressive!

I’m usually a dewy foundation girl, but WOW. This lasted me from 10am application until 7pm when I took my shower. I did my entire day (toddler activities, outdoor walk, gym, etc) and it never came off or got patchy. I did have to prime and set, so I don’t agree that it’s self setting and priming. However, this will be my go to when I need a whole day look. I used Iconic London illuminating drops to have some shine and it was perfect. Plus, she has so many shades that the shade match is ideal.

THIS IS SUCH TRASH DO NOT WASTE YOYR MONEY!

I tried applying this in three different ways. The first way wasn’t how I normally apply my foundation. I put primer first after skin care and then I put my foundation on. It is not semi mat. It is completely mat. Furthermore, it oxidizes so badly that I look orange. Secondly I tried to apply it without primer because it said it had a primer in it. The same result occurred patchy clunk to dry spots, just all around ugly. The final attempt to make this work was me spraying a very hydrating...

Olive shades are in fact orange/yellow.

I swatched in store to look at the "olive" shades. Not even close. Is the blue/yellow (to make green) pigment even in the room with us? No. You'll definitely turn orange or yellow my fellow olives. Shame because they had a good template for olives with their concealer and old foundation not sure what went off the rails with this launch. Disappointing

Must have perfect skin

If you have pores, wrinkles, acne, or dark spots this is not for you. I have oily skin and I was so excited to try this. This feels like old school matte foundations that people hated from 2016. I am 31 so maybe it’s just not meant for “mature” skin. But I have seen creators that are older than me rave about this and maybe since they have Botox and fillers it’s fine for them. I even tried my favorite pore filling primers (even though you shouldn’t need one) and nothing. This emphasized...

Replacement for old Estée Lauder

I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement foundation after they reformulated the old Estée Lauder double wear. I gave this try, and it stood through the humidity and 98F by the pool without a primer or setting spray or even powder! Excited to keep wearing this.

My new double-wear replacement!

As someone who has been forced to find a new foundation to replace the og double-wear after the terrible reformulation, this foundation surprised me in the best way. I have very oily skin and this foundation stayed put all day, which is amazing, and the coverage is good and very buildable. The only downside is it dries down FAST so you need to work quickly or the coverage gets a bit patchy. But overall I would recommend anyone who is an og double wear stan to try this!

Reviewed by a MUA. This is not a product for mature skin. I used my BK 109 to apply the foundation. First time I applied it, it looked extremely dry with my Bobbi Brown vitamin enriched face base. Today I tried using the Bisha rice water primer. No matter what I do, this full coverage (not medium coverage) foundation looks horrible. If you’re under 30 and you have oily skin, this product might work. The hype about this product is all it is, a hype. This is not a good foundation, sorry...

Shade match is hard

Sadly I couldn't find a color match. I returned the first shade and tried a second. Missed my return window on the second which didn't match my skin either and tossed it.

A summer holygrail!

I used this A LOT in the summer for several outdoor markets and conventions I was selling at and I am so happy to say that this foundation holds up beautifully! It's my go-to for when I'm going to be out of the house all day and don't want to worry about what in the world my foundation might be doing. It stays put and looks great all day :)
