Do you think makeup deserves a second chance? A few months ago I tested out the Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation ($36.00) while I was in the midst of a skincare regime that was changing my skin a bit. I’m still very oily but now my cheeks have some dryness to them… some texture that seems to be easily accentuated if I don’t properly get at it. Since previously trying the Too Faced foundation I’ve learned what to do to get my skin prepped to wear and now I’m ready to give this product another chance.

review
Previously I tried several ways to apply and wear the Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation. It didn’t go well. I had assumed that since I love the Mattifying Setting Powder and the Cooling Matte Perfecting Primer from the same line (to the point of holy grail status) that the putting the foundation in my life would be a no-brainer. Initially I was wrong. No matter how I applied the foundation or what I used for a primer & powder it just looked terrible on me, particularly in my cheek areas. I promptly returned it.
Fast forward to now where Too Faced has sent me an entire box of this foundation. I wasn’t sure what to do, because I’d already decided I didn’t like it. It’d been awhile so I figured the least I could do for the brand was give it another try. I’m really glad I did! While the coverage isn’t full (where I usually like it) the foundation formula has never been touted as being anything more than medium coverage. I’ve been looking for something a little lighter for the Summer months and this is definitely that ticket. It’s more of a satin matte finish that pairs well with the setting powder and primer that I already love from the Peach Perfect line. It gives that wonderful illusion of “flawless”. I use several other products to provide more coverage to the areas that need it and I think it’s looking a lot more natural than what I usually go for.

On me this foundation wore well all day when paired up with the coordinating primer and setting powder mentioned above. As always I do get a little bit of shine breakthrough but it wasn’t anything I even felt like I needed to touch up and it only appeared in my t-zone. If I wiped at my face (like if I blew my nose) the foundation did come off but it didn’t transfer if I accidentally touched my face with my fingers. I was impressed enough to continue to wear this foundation daily since it arrived and I’m excited to see if it’ll do as well during the sweaty, Summer months.
The Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation applies best by using a beautyblender (or makeup sponge of your choice). I tried some of my favorite brushes to try and amp up the coverage but those just made the foundation apply unevenly and the end result wasn’t as smooth as with the beautyblender.
PS – if you’re curious about what prepped my skin to look amazing for this foundation it’s the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial. It’s pricey but OMG it makes a WORLD of difference!
swatches
All 20 shades of the Too Faced Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation are swatched below on bare skin (no primers). Please keep in mind that every shade of this foundation leans warm (peachy), even those that have a neutral or cool sounding description (like beige or rosy). I also suggest color matching for this in person. I’m in the shade Porcelain which I NEVER would have thought would have been my match. It’s listed as “fair with rosy undertones” and is the third lightest shade available.

availability

Thank you for posting these swatches. I really appreciate your review and swatches. I purchased two shades, Butterscotch and Chestnut, based on your swatches a couple of years ago before it was discontinued, I figured I would need to mix two shades to get a good match and I was correct. This foundation does not budge once set and is also waterproof! It is great for those qualities, Perfect for if, and when I need a bit more coverage, or for humid days. I love it! See Taylor Wynn’s PPCMF review in ‘Snow’ if you have very pale skin and Diamonbeauty’s reivew for a deeper shade. It is sad TF discontinued this product!
what shade would you say is CLOSEST to an Estee Lauder Double Wear in 1w2 sand or MAC NC 15-20 (anywhere in between), with strong yellow undertones (not orange!), and straight outta the tube before oxidation ? thank you!
If I had to guess I would say Almond would be good for you out of this group but it’s hard to say. I use ELDW 2n1 during the months I use Porcelain from Too Faced (Summer I go to 3n1). MAC I’m usually NC or NW 20 (25 in Summer). I run neutral so it depends on the formula. So you’re obviously lighter than me but not a whole lot. I think Snow and Swan would be way too light for you and probably not yellow toned enough. Have you used the Sephora Color IQ? Sometimes it’s helpful (sometimes not, though) and can help to narrow it down more. This is the link http://bit.ly/2vXuqd3
Thanks for posting this. I see one shade that’s sort of light, one shade that’s sort of dark, and then 18 shades of medium. WTF Too Faced???
I love that you gave it another go! I found the shades confusing too because porcelain looks nothing like its discription. Which would you say is the lightest and most yellow toned? I’d think it would be almond but I can’t trust the discriptions lmao I’m suuuuuper yellow toned to the point where i add yellow food colouring to most of my foundations
WOW that’s definitely very yellow toned!!! If you’re going toward the light shades definitely Almond. It was one that shocked me when I swatched it because it was SO YELLOW. It’s bright almost (not like highlighter but bright for a foundation). If you try it out you have to let me know how it worked for you!
Finally got my hands on it and I’m so happy!! Still not yellow enough for me, in fact it actually the most pink foundation I own haha, but I LOVE the finish and feel of it! So glad I caved in and bought it!
WOW You have some yellow!!! I’m glad you love the formula. It’s one of my favorites too!
Can you please tell me what other foundation shades you are so I can get a reference? For example MAC NC 15? And I know you have strong yellow undertones (I have yellow undertones, maybe not as strong as you but definitely no orange or pink or peach!) I’m trying to see if Almond is the right shade for me too. Thank you!
Excellent post! I didn’t like this foundation when I had it applied in store last week! Maybe I need to give it another go! Like you said I think application is key.
Yup! It’ll depend on getting the right combo for your skin type (primer, foundation and powder) and how you like to apply it. Definitely play around a little! It helps me too if I am up on my skincare with moisturizing and masks (like the drunk elephant I mentioned in this post or the glamglow supermud). Olay and Emme Diane are what I’ve been using for moisturizers!
