L’Oréal True Match Super-Blendable Is a Great Face Powder

A drugstore face powder that’s as versatile as it gets.

The L’Oréal True Match collection provides a range of cosmetics that make it easy to choose your perfect foundation, blush, and face powder. Their Super-Blendable Powder comes in such a range of shades that most should be able to experience the multipurpose benefits of this product. This powder wears well alone, even providing buildable coverage to even out the complexion. It can also be used as a non-cakey setter for your full face of makeup or to control shine in only your oiliest spots. It truly does it all and looks pretty natural at the same time.

Promises vs. Performance: Your perfect face powder shade match awaits.

A peek at the L’Oréal product page for their Super-Blendable powder reveals 34 shade options in various undertones. This, along with the claim that this face powder will “precisely” match your skin’s “tone and texture.” Whether worn alone or to top base products, Super-Blendable includes a hint of pearl pigment to enhance the look of your skin.

This face powder fulfills its claims of versatility in my experience. I’ve used it directly on bare skin, only to instantly notice its coverage and natural finish give my face a more even appearance. It keeps keeps makeup in place, while being perfectly compatible with my dry skin type and giving it a natural (not overly matte) finish. Shade matching was a cinch given the number of options available, and for me the right one is N1 Soft Ivory (Neutral). The shine control of this face powder lasts about four to five hours for me, then it’s time to touch up. No problem, though, because the lightweight compact adds no bulk to my bag, so I take it on the go.

How It Compares: A great, affordable face powder for a natural finish.

I consider L’Oréal True Match Super-Blendable face Powder to be the standard drugstore pressed powder. It’s not cakey, comes in a ton believable shades and undertones, and looks flawless on the skin. This powder is a fine setter for your foundation and concealer, and it offers plenty of shine control without being super matte or dry. Even worn alone to lightly perfect the complexion, or layered for fuller coverage, Super-Blendable performs like a dream. The silky, breathable formula has more than nine thousand five star-reviews on Amazon.com. There, shoppers rave over its versatile uses and 34-shade range.

Milabu Beauty Method: Naturally beautiful skin with True Match Super-Blendable face powder.

This product makes it easy to customize a naturally beautiful looking complexion. My favorite method includes applying it just where I need it most.

1. Dot your favorite concealer onto areas where you want the most coverage, and blend with your fingertips or concealer brush. I do this beneath my eyes to camouflage dark circles, around my nose to hide redness, and on acne. (Check out Maybelline Instant Age Rewind, $9.99.)
2. Using a small, fluffy powder brush, swirl into your Super-Bendable face powder then tap the brush to remove excess.
3. Look upward as you gently apply the the face powder beneath your eyes to set your concealer, then swirl the brush around your nose, in your T-zone, or anywhere you’d like to set concealer or have extra coverage and shine control. Pick up more product as needed.

Tip: For occasions that call for full coverage, try using this powder over Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear, $14.99. These two top rated products pair beautifully for a camera ready finish.
