Compact design
9 years ago
I used to use Merle Norman, but it is so expensive. I tried the Loreal True Match foundation and the power compact. I love them both, but I am not happy with the compact design. Is is not user friendly. It seems awkward to use. The mirror is in a different spot than the makeup part. You have to close the make up to look in the mirror and you need more powder, you have to close the mirror to get to the powder. Pleases re-design the compact so that it is more user friendly. Thanks for great products though. I am also using the Loreal hair color....Love it.

New packaging and puff pad are terrible!
4 years ago
I have been a very loyal purchaser of the super blendable powder for years... recently the compact and applicator sponge changed. The new compact is very hard to use and the mirror/powder sections flips around. The powder applicator is now a very old school puff pad and is terrible if you have wrinkles.
Please bring back the original packaging and applicator!

No coverage. Hard texture.
15 days ago
True Match Powder Foundation used to be the gold standard. I’m talking holy grail status — the kind of product you don’t even think about replacing because it just works. I’ve been loyal to it for over 15 years, which says everything. The finish was smooth, the coverage was buildable yet natural, and it blended effortlessly into the skin. It was reliable, consistent, and honestly hard to beat.
But this new reformulated version? Completely different story — and not in a good way. The texture feels noticeably harder and almost chalky, making it difficult to pick up any product on a brush or even with your fingers. When I swatch it, there’s barely any pigment payoff. It lacks the coverage that made it so dependable before — it honestly feels more like children’s play makeup than a high-quality foundation.
What’s most frustrating is that no one asked for this change. The original formula wasn’t broken, so why “fix” it? Reformulating a longtime favorite and ending up with something that performs worse is incredibly disappointing, especially for loyal customers who trusted the product for years.
Sadly, this isn’t something I’ll be repurchasing. It’s just not the same product anymore, and definitely not worth it.

LOVE This Powder!!!
a month ago
I have very dry skin that often feels tight and this is the only powder I use on my face. It gets rid of the shine without drying or tightening my skin. It also looks really pretty when I put it on and goes on really smooth. It comes in a wide variety of colors. I’m pretty fair and often can’t find a match for my skin tone. I’m able to get an exact match and another one that is a close 2nd. LOVE IT!
Would you purchase this again:Yes

Don't bother! Useless!

This new powder product is very disappointing! To call it a foundation is laughable. It doesn't cover any blemishes or uneven skin tone. If this is their replacement for their TruMatch Mineral powder then they have made a very bad choice. The TruMatch Mineral powder was their best matte product ever used by many, including myself, for over 20 years.

Hi there Lina, thank you so much for being such a loyal fan of True Match for over 20 years—that truly means the world to us. We’re so sorry to hear that this powder didn’t provide the coverage you were expecting. Your feedback is incredibly important, and we’ll be sharing your comments with our product team. Meanwhile, for a powder with greater coverage, take a look at the Infallible Up to 24H Fresh Wear Foundation in a Powder. It’s weightless texture gives full coverage and a natural, matte finish and can be applied dry or wet.

Horrible in comparison to True Match Mineral
a month ago
I used to use True Match Mineral loose powder. It was perfect. This does not give the same coverage and for my skin it's oily. Please reconsider the discontinuation of the old product. I've been getting by, finding the loose powder online but that won't work forever. I'm now moving on to other brands because the powder compacts like this and liquid foundations are horrible for my skin. I need a loose powder with good coverage. You had the perfect product and got rid of it.

Your feedback about coverage and oiliness is incredibly helpful, and we’re passing it straight to our creative team to show them why the old formula was so loved. Thank you for letting us know how much it meant to your routine!

Miss the old formula
a month ago
I would like to join the chorus asking for the old formula. This was the perfect powder that did not irritate my skin and also matched my skin tone. Since coconut oil has been added to the formula, I break out in acne every time I wear it. I am begging for a formulation with a non comodogenic oil!

New powder shades do not match
2 months ago
I used L'Oreal true match gentle mineral makeup, loose powder in shade W6-7 sun beige. Since L'Oreal got rid of that, I switched to the L'Oreal true match blendable powder, but none of the new powders come close to their old w6-7 sun beige color. It matched my skin perfectly and I wish they would bring back their loose powder in the original shades. I tried their new shade in W6, W7, N5, N6, and N7 none of them come close to their original W6-7 sun beige color nor do the new powders apply and cover like their loose powder.

This is a joke

I echo the sentiments of everyone else. The old formula/packaging was best. I've been living in denial, buying every little discontinued one I could find in my shade on ebay for 3x the price. I've tried moving over to this, but it's worthless. If anyone can find a good alternative/another brand, post it here, and save us all.
