L'Oreal Cashmere Perfect vs. True Match

"cofarb" <do...@cofarb.com>
CVS has a "twofer" on L'Oreal foundations this week. I've been very happy
with True Match for my dry winter skin. (I don't usually wear foundation in
summer.) I would like to know the difference(s) between Cashmere Perfect
and True Match. If you loved True Match, do you also love Cashmere Perfect?
Compare and contrast, please.

Cashmere Perfect is much more matte, much more drying. True Match has a more
'natural' looking finish. TM also has a wider variety of shades and far better,
blendable coverage in my opinion.
I use CP for light coverage in the summer on my oily spots. Otherwise, it's
just too drying.
I have combination skin. I usually only spot apply foundation to the center of
my face and blend out minus the forehead and most of nose (too oily and
tendency for clogged pores).

Thanks for answering my question perfectly. The Cashmere Perfect is more
expensive, so unless someone raved about its magical qualities (I'm heavily
into magical qualities these days<G>), there's no advantage over the True
Match.
Thanks again,

Cashmere Perfect is my HG nowadays, although I haven't tried True Match, so I
cannot comment on how that stuff is, but all I know is that it is great for my
oily skin! I am on my 3rd tube of the stuff. I just wish the color range was
better, but it blends like a dream.....consider this a "rave" :–)

I'm an "oilygirl" too and Cashmere Perfect works better on me than
True Match liquid does. They both look great, but Cashmere perfect
looks great for far far longer. All I need is blotting paper and it
still looks good 12 hours later.I can probably toss my Lancome
MacquiControle and Mabyelline Everfresh now, since Cashmere Perfect
works so great.

Makeup, it takes believing in. Like a magic carpet, it's belief that
makes it fly. Otherwise, it's just a rug.
If you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own.
Of course, makeup is only dime–store magic. But it works well enough,
when it's used properly.",

I think True Match is fundamentally oily makeup. I use a plastic funnel to
transfer it from that godawful little glass bottle into a plastic bottle
with a squeeze top. It is almost impossible to wash the funnel afterwards;
I have to use sudsy amonia and an old toothbrush and super–hot water.
The Cashmere Perfect raves by oily–skinned a.f.ers made me decide to stick
with True Match. Now, if they would just do something about that bottle!
