As a cosmetician myself, with a deeper complexion, I've never been able to find a foundation that could match my skins tone, undertone, and texture - while, one more tough test- not looking overtly feminine, and full of light reflectors. Most designers and brands offer tones way too deep for me, or their denifition of "tan" is so orange and too warm toned, it stood out on my face like bronzer. I mean, I've serched far as wide, department stores, Botiques , and even mom and pop shops. The next best contending foundation may perform like true match, but is seven times the retail price! Don't waste your hard earned dollars and cents, Loreal delivers a supiour product, that really lives up to its claims. Trust me, i am one of the toughest retail critics, i dont hand out A's to any old bottle of makeup. This liquid foundation, although very thin and pourable, spreads like a second skin, beautifully blurring and camouflaging lines, pores, and imperfections. The finish is so natural, even on camera, up close, and with a full application. I'm N7- Classic tan , sometimes in the summer my skin dips into C6- soft sable. The only negative review I could give, is, the limited shade selection, in Canada. American retailers offer such a wider array of shades with depth for ethnic complexions. In conclusion, though, this product is excellent and exceptional for a drug store offering. A+ !
