....is it any good?

Looking for a lightish foundation with good coverage for my ageing skin. I use a primer so wouldn't need that within a foundation.

I love it. Previously was using only Lancôme. True Match won budget InStyle beauty award, which is why I tried it. Converted. It's great.

I like it - the shade range is very good, and so is the coverage. However, I don't find that it lasts very long on my normal skin without separating - I need to touch up after 5 hours or so. To get around that, I've started mixing it half-and-half with Bourjois Healthy Mix (very long-wearing but a bit yellow and shiny for me) and the result is my ultimate foundation - lasts a really long time, exactly the right shade, never causes break-outs and gives natural looking but good coverage.

I use shade N1 in True Match, and 51 (lightest shade) in Bourjois Healthy Mix - don't know if that's in any way helpful!

Also - I wore it for my wedding, and I my skin looks flawless in the photos even though I had a wedding-stress-breakout going on underneath. It photographs better than any other foundation I've ever tried!

Wow! Sounds good all round!

Used to swear by Max Factor's Second Skin which has now transmogrified into a really heavy, cakey jollop called Facefinity. I have red patches and open pores so I do need good coverage but want it to look natural if poss!!

I've used True Match for 5 years and think it's brilliant for the price. Lasts me about 3 months and blends so easily.

Its good.

I use the mineral powder version of it now and that's great too.

Lasts all day.

Went to Boots today and had my skin "analysed" to find my perfect shade. As a result I bought No 7 Stay Perfect foundation which does seem rather, er...perfectSmile
