L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Foundation Review

After hearing so many you tubers go on about how amazing this foundation was I finally gave in and purchased a tube myself. Note the one the you tubers rave on is not the same formulation as the one you can purchase here and I think the overseas formulation might be a bit better than this.

I wanted to try as it claims to last for 24 hours and is matte.

It comes in a nice little tube with a small nozzle which is good, as it means you don't squeeze it and a heap of product oozes out!

It's quite easy to see how much is left in the tube as most of the tube is transparent.

Price wise, it's not too bad, especially compared to double wear which some say this can be a dupe for.

I choose shade 20 Sand which was a pretty good match for me over winter, not so much for summer.

The best way I found to apply it was with a brush or beauty blender - both were equally as easy to apply and seemed to produce the same result.

The formulation is fairly liquid but not too liquid, which I like.

For my oily skin it wasn't too bad but I won't purchase again as it definitely does not last 24 hours - I think it could claim to last around 7-8 hours. By the end of the work day I can start to notice it sliding around my face big time. It came off my nose and chin the quickest as those are the places I seem to touch the most. It improves if you set it, but I feel with a matte foundation you shouldn't have to set it.

Coverage wise, huge fail - this is not a heavy coverage foundation as stated on the tube. It's medium at best!

All in all it's not bad, but for me, it's not good enough to repurchase.

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.

I am always keen to try new foundations as I am still to find an absolute favourite.

I bought this particular foundation in tube. I prefer tubes to bottles for the fact I feel you can get every last bit of your foundation out of it where as bottles it is hard sometimes as the lids dont always come off. The nozzle on this tube makes it super easy to squeeze out and you never have too much.

I always prep my skin, a good primer is a great start. This foundation goes on nicely. I always use my fingers as I have not yet mastered the art of brush or sponge applications.

I found it to be lightweight which is nice, there is nothing worse than feeling your make up is caked on! It blends nicely and I found the coverage to be ok, not as good as some others I have used. The foundation stayed in place most of the day. I used this in the winter when I dont perspire much, I dont think I could use this in the summer when I get hot. I think it could possibly run a bit, not stay in place.

Overall, this foundation is just ok for me. I will not purchase it again. I feel the price point is too high, if you were wanting to try this I would wait for a special.

I used to have oily skin a few years ago, but lately it’s been on the dryer side(aging), especially in the winter, so I’m not really the perfect group for this foundation. However I still bought 2 tubes of this foundation simply because I’ve found my perfect shade match! Already used a whole tube and can’t wait to use my unopened one again in the warmer months. It settles into my wrinkles and accentuates dry patches in the winter(but there are tricks I use against this, just no time for this routine in the mornings), so been using different foundations for the meantime. It is a very thick cream, mousse-like paste rather and it’s very easy to overapply, I only need a tiny bit to spread across my whole face and neck. If it is a bit too matte or drying I apply it with a damp beauty sponge or mix a drop of face oil into my moisturiser and it’s all fixed. Oil really helps this foundation to slide across the face beautifully, however I understand it’s counterproductive for people with oily skin. It is indeed full coverage but I only use a tiny amount, so I take it down to a medium coverage and it looks more natural for my liking.

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.

I liked the Pro Glow but I found that the Matte Foundation 22 had more of a yellow undertone that matched my skin tone better than the Pro Glow 204. I don't have a lot of matte foundations so I decided to get this to use over the summer. The foundation has a light feeling on the skin and does last awhile though it's more prone to looking a bit dry and showing my fine lines towards the end of the day. I'm thinking I may not like a matte finish as much as a satin-natural finish. I only used a little bit to get more of a light to medium coverage and my skin looked good. I probably wouldn't get this again unless I really love it by the time I've finished it just because I have other foundations I prefer but it's a decent foundation and not that expensive.

I've just gone on maternity leave and decided earlier this year that I needed to find a cheaper foundation than the double wear I use almost daily. My sister recommended this and I am absolutely in love with it! Not only can I pick it up cheap for almost a quarter of the price online it matches my.skin tone even better than my double wear and it blends like a dream! The colour is perfect, price is right, long lasting (albeit not quite as well as my DW), blends well, I am so impressed!

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.

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.

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.
