L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Foundation Review

YES!!! Finally found something that gives amazing coverage, that lasts well throughout the day. I use to swear by Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, but now I prefer to use L'oreal Infallible Pro Matte. I apply it several ways, I use a flat top kabuki brush for a more full coverage look or I use my beauty blender for a more medium coverage. I do find I have to moisturise well before applying as it can cling to dry patches. I use a combo of primers underneath the foundation, Bareminerals neutralizing to combat the reddness on my cheeks and Too Faced Primed & Poreless and I find the foundation goes on top of these primers nice & smoothly. And when I don't want a so matte looking finish I add my Smashbox Studio Skin Hydrating 15 hour wear Foundation to the L'oreal Infallible Pro Matte for a more Demi-Matte/ Satin finish which I love.

I love this foundation so much! It is everything a person with oily/combination skin would want in a drugstore foundation. It comes in a plastic bottle that is great for travelling with. It has a fine-tipped nozzle that makes it easy to control how much product you squeeze out.

The coverage of this foundation is medium according to the packaging, but it is not far off being full. However it doesn't feel cakey at all. In fact it feels quite lightweight when I apply it with a beautyblender. Usually it takes only an hour before my nose starts to get a bit oily, but with this foundation it takes nearly the whole day before I start to look even a little bit oily. It lasts very well when I wear it, and it doesn't fade or appear patchy. I still set this foundation with a powder though.

My only problem with this foundation is that the lightest shade they stock in New Zealand is too dark for my very pale skin. I currently have the shade Vanilla, but I know that they sell an even lighter shade in other countries. If they stocked the shade Porcelain here, I would be over the moon with joy! At the moment I can only use this foundation if I have fake tanned or if I mix it with a lighter colour.

I really hope that with winter coming up that L'Oreal will consider stocking this foundation in the lighter shade. If they did I would update this review to 5/5 because that is the only thing preventing me from leaving a perfect review.

Love this new foundation! Great coverage, lasts well and does a good job keeping me shine free. My only complaint is that the lightest shade is slightly too dark for me, especially in winter, so a wider range of shades would be good.

This foundation is very very matte. Even on my oily/combination skin it can look a little dry and cakey. however, with a moisturising primer it looks so flawless and beautiful! The foundation lasts all day long and still looks flawless at the end of the day. I love it!

I asked the shop assistant to recommend something that lasts and stops oily-ness. This foundation has plenty of colours on offer so shouldnt be hard to find the colour you prefer. I got the Rose Beige one, there is one colour lighter than this but I prefer to look a tiny bit less white. This colour was perfect for my skin colour. In regards to my oily skin, the foundation conquered it! In regards to lasting all day, it does last but i discovered that i didnt like the coverage as much. my old make up was able to hide my dark under eyes much better. I was worried I would use it quickly because i looks like a small tube but has so far surprised me so far lasting 3months.

This is a super great foundation for oily skinned people that want a fuller coverage, even though it is matte I always set it with a powder to make it last even longer. the packaging is great, it makes it hygienic and easy to use, it also means you can get every last but of product. The one thing I didn't like about this product was the colour range, I haven't been able to find my perfect match, I don't feel like they have enough colours out, and they don't have a wide range of undertones either.

I purchased this foundation as a cheaper everyday foundation as I don't like wasting my expensive usual foundation for everyday use. Small amount goes a long way and is light wearing and long lasting. My only issue is the colour range doesn't seem to match my skin tone quite right but nothing a bit of contouring doesn't fix

I worked in promotions and got giving a range of different shades of this foundation. I found this is a really good foundation. It has a matte finish and doesnt mattify during the day. I did find that there were a few dry patches so have to make sure to wear primer with this one. Also good to use darker shades for eyeshadow and contour. Overall good foundation and would buy again!

The coverage is great on my skin , I only use abit because it can appear thick on my skin Nice matte finish Quality finish. And a great price.

L'oreal is one of my favourite mid-priced brands, I've tried many of their foundations, lipsticks and blushes and been impressed in the past. When I heard people raving about how great this foundation was, I couldn't wait to try it.

First of all, I'm a lover of full coverage foundations- Estée Lauder double wear, MAC prolong wear and the list goes on. I had heard this was as good, but for a fraction of the price. So, this sold me!

The tube super stylish, black and sleek. It is made of plastic, and is sturdy. I like that it's not breakable, and can easily be popped in my bag. The tube reminds me of the new MAC prolong wear nourishing foundation- it is just so similar.

My skin tends to be of the dry type, although my skin has improved greatly lately due to the skincare I've been using. So, I would say it's currently normal.

As usual, I always use my moisturiser and wait for it to dry and then apply primer. Afterwards I apply this foundation by using my RT brush. Ip the formula is nice and buildable on my skin.

It's so easy to apply and it feels comfortable on the skin. The consistency feels nice and it doesn't feel too thick, like some high coverage foundations do.

Although it covers imperfections so well it feels lightweight on your skin and it really lasts during the day. I really loved the beautiful finish it gave to my skin. It gave me such a flawless, matte finish that just made my skin look so nice.

BUT...unfortunately, after using this for awhile, it just doesn't agree with my sensitive skin and I had a reaction. This was so disappointing as it's such a lovely foundation, and if it had agreed with my skin it would be getting five stars.
