True Match from L'Oreal is rubbish! I bought one and have only used it twice...wasted £9 for nothing, the brush is so small, you can't apply properly on the face and you either get too much powder or not enough on the brush, due to the unpractical way the powder is delivered onto the brush. Minerals or not, a product NOT worth bothering with!
