TruBlend Powder Foundation SPF 15 ($9.49) has a mica- and talc-based texture that's buttery, silky, and slightly powdery all at once. That's an admittedly strange description, but it accurately describes this great new pressed-powder foundation that features an in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen. It blends beautifully, providing light coverage that leaves skin looking naturally polished rather than thick and powdered. Cover Girl's shade improvements continue with this product. Among the 15 options, almost all are suitable and they represent a wide range of natural skin tones. The only shades to avoid because they are too pink, peach, or rose are Medium Light, Warm Beige, and Natural Beige. The following shades are OK because this product blends so well, but should be approached with caution: Classic Beige, Natural Ivory, and Creamy Natural. Classic Ivory is an excellent shade for fair skin, while Buff Beige is an ideal neutral for lighter skin tones.
This product joins the small group of pressed powders that offer sufficient sun protection. However, keep in mind that products such as this are best used in combination with a facial sunscreen or foundation with sunscreen.
