Rave: L'oreal true match color finder

"mo" <...@idcomm.com>
For those who haven't seen the color finder, it's a plastic sheet with
the colors printed on it. The one that disappears against your skin is
your color.
Ingenious, not dependent on a MA, and perfect!
Love it, love the foundation. Why don't others have a similar system?
Not so sure about the 'matching' blush, it looks sort of orange.\

I've seen it hanging up in some drug stores, but not all. Can't remember
which ones though, sorry :(

The L'oreal True Match transparent color matcher didn't do much for me.
Still have to try it on my hand. I love the makeup but i use a
combination of 2 colors as I seem to be in between.
It's sort of like the hair color books (with the little swatches of
heair) that some drugstores have. You can't count on them to be
everywhere.

Walgreens!
When True Match was first released my Walgreens had the swatch thingy,
testers, sample packs and a video running about it. They've still got
the swatch thing, not for certain about the samples.
Other L'Oreal foundations seem to use the same numbering system,
Cashmere Perfect does, at least.
I"m a MAC NC20 and I'm N2 in True Match/Cashmere Perfect. Try
dividing your MAC # by ten and see what happens. :–)

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,
