L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Crayon

Despite being in the form of a bar or crayon, the product isn’t that difficult to apply, because it’s actually rather creamy. It’s not very hydrating, so if you decide to use it, make sure you’re using a good eye cream first because it tends to leave traces around the eyes. Or simply choose another more convenient foundation case you have really really dry skin.
