    2.22.2010

It comes in 9 shades to suit your skin undertone. Also introducing three new faces of True Match Super-Blendable Liquid Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid are ZhangZi Lin, Li Bingbing and our very own Datuk Michelle Yeoh (they're using this to get their pefect match too!).

    available in 9 shades including the lastest shade G4

    These are the yummies on the NEW True Match Super-Blendable Liquid Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid:-

      for precise match with the skin tone with natural, even finish & luminous complexion all day long.

    • Light Texture, concealing imperfections & leaving no trace of a 'caked on' effect
    • SPF17/PA++ sun protection & Vitamin C
      protects skin from the damaging effect of UV rays & free radicals.

    how to determine your skin tone & find your True Match?
    answer: try out the "warm/cool" skin test!

    Since Datuk Michelle Yeoh already found her perfect shade, I wonder whats mine? lol. To find out I went to Guardian 1utama with Buaya Wing to do a bit of R&D (haha). There's a total of 9 shades to match your skin tone including the latest new shade G4 to suit your skin undertone perfectly. It's important to find your perfect match (foundation shade) for your skin undertone (cool/neutral/warm) not only to look natural but also flatter your undertone. Using the "Warm/Cool" Skin Test, I made Buaya Wing my guinea pig. Which one suits/flatters her the best?

    is it just me or I think Buaya Wing suits all the colors!

    What are Warm/Cool undertones about?

    Almost felt like slapping this woman, her skin is so good makes me angry. Anyway I decided she is neutral/nude undertone as she suits both gold & silver skin test. She tried N1 - Nude Ivory. TIP! do check the shade on your jawline to see if the shade suit you! there's like 9 total shades, some lighter and darker. You gotta find the right one yap!

    try the shade on your jawline before using

    after blending - it's the right shade!!!
    (and Buaya Wing looks good yum yum)

    my turn! which one suits me?

    Decide to try mine at home too. I got 3 shades to choose from R2, G1 & N1. After using the "Warm/Cool" Skin Test at Guardian, I found out that I have cool undertone. Using R2 - Apricot Ivory I began to do a face test just to see the difference. Ok there's no denying I have super nice face (cough cough stop cursing me) but I still have uneven skin tone, redness and pigmentation to hide. Also I have dry skin, so this True Match Super-Blendable Liquid Foundation with Hyaluronic Acid should be a perfect match for me! (Hyaluronic Acid is the latest thing now to hit skincare! powerful super moisturizer, everyone is talking about it).

    check it out people the test results!

    Definitely smooth, light and easy to blend! very soft and I target my weak spots/area first which is my cheek areas where redness and slight pigmentation can be seen and my T-zone. HMM I think my panda eyes had some coverage too! Though if you need more coverage you'll need to use a concealer after this liquid foundation. Definitely fun trying out the "warm/cool" skin test at Guardian too. People looking funny at me smiling into the mirror using cardboard pieces. NAH they don't know what they're missing out! Hyaluronic Acid is so the BOMB now!

    Verdict:

    Texture - Light, easy to blend, and smooth.
    Scent - I can't smell anything! ok maybe a slight powdery smell.
    Coverage - Light to medium coverage. Does the trick for my uneven skin tone and redness! yay! (err and u can see some pigmentation spots being covered too sob sob).
    Packaging - easy to hold, no spills pumper, it's made of glass so kinda heavy, u can use it to defend yourself against bullies.
    Shade/Colors - love the fact that it has 9 shades to choose from and a "warm/cool" skin test to determine which shade matches our skin undertones for a more natural and flattering glow.
    Price: Affordable! and there's promotions going on too right now at Guardian.

    12. Same question with Lavender, Is it suitable for super oily skin? will it look more shiny after apply?? ~O~

      ReplyDelete
    13. Lavender & Ciawei:

      Generally I don't advise oily skin to use liquid foundation, especially since this one with Hya.Acid lagi moisturising..

      use 2 way cake or powder better yap..
      and u need retouch somore..

    14. Hi! I just got my True Match foundation in G3 (yup, warm skin tone). However, I think it's a tad too dark for my skin. I didn't know how to choose the color that's right for me so I usually go with the L'oreal lady's suggestion (big mistake!). Was just wondering what the numbers are for? Like you got G1, I got G3. Does it mean that the higher number's darker?

      Thanks! And really great review! Really loved the way you wrote it, so full of life. =)
