Meet Your True Match
Scores of patrons converged at Discount Beauty inside King’s Plaza last Saturday for the L’Oréal Paris Makeover Tour, put on by Pioneer Manufacturing Distributing Company Limited. The bumper crowd was out to meet L’Oréal Paris professional make-up artist Daniel De La Torre for beauty tips, a makeover, and to find their true match from the L’Oréal Paris True Match line of foundation, powder, concealer, and blush.

Tips from L’Oréal professional make-up artist Daniel De La Torre
* Always apply concealer over eyes ahead of eyeshadow to hold the eyeshadow in place and illuminate the eyes.
* Use magic perfection base after moisturizing to prevent sweating and hold your make-up for eight to 12 hours.
* It’s all about the lips right now, that is where the boldest and brightest colours will be found with a matte finish.
* There will be more earth tones and soft colours like nude and tan on the face.
True Match fact sheet according to Daniel De La Torre:
* Once you’ve found your shade of True Match foundation, then you’ve automatically found your concealer and powder, as they are the same shade.
* There are 33 shades of True Match foundation, and there is a shade for every complexion.
* True Match foundation is a full coverage foundation that is very light in texture.
* The True Match foundation lasts the whole day.
