L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Foundation Review

This is my everyday go to foundation!!!! This foundation hides my pores is super full coverage and does an amazing job at keeping my oiliness under control.. I'm yet to find another foundation to replace this one

I picked this up in my latest Farmers shop. It was on sale for $29.99. I had the choice between a tube or a bottle but I choose the 35ml tube as it travels better in my bag and you can squeeze every last drop out. I have pale skin so got the lightest shade available which was 11 Vanilla.

The consistency of this is thick but creamy. Colour wise it is not too great a match, it looked fine in the store but when I got home it is definitely too dark for me and it is very pink. It has medium coverage and feels lightweight on my skin which I like. It glides on well and does not look cakey. You don't need to use much at all.

I have dry skin but I prefer matte foundations. So I make sure to prep my skin well as this will cling to dry patches.  I quite like the finish of this. It looks quite natural and covers the redness on my cheeks well. My only gripe is the colour. When I looked up online I see they have a lighter shade in porcelain but it is not available in NZ for some weird reason.

I will try this out in summer when my complexion is a bit darker as it will be a much better match. My advice is try before you buy, lighting is different in stores so be careful with your colour selection. Perhaps get a sample to take home.

This foundation seems to either be loved or hated by everyone that tries it. Sadly for me I hated it. First off, for a drug store foundation I thought it was super pricey. Add a few dollars on and I could've purchased something high end. The packaging was a bit cheap, but I never have liked foundations in squeezy tubes. I purchased this foundation because of all the positive hype about it, which was a big mistake.

The consistency was very thick, almost moussey, but the finish was quite nice. However for something that claimed to be a '24 hour foundation' it barely lasted 4 hours on my skin, even with and primer and when set with a powder.

The thing I hated the most about this foundation though was the colour. I got Vanilla/11 which is the lightest shade available in NZ. Straight from application it was so so pink toned. I am yellow toned, but this was so pink I'm not sure it would even look normal on a pink-toned person. After a few hours of wear it oxidised from the pink to a very patchy orange, and I actually stopped what I was doing to come home and take it off.

I just think that when charging almost $40 for a drug store foundation, there should at least be a more wearable shade range. And I know all brands dramatise the length of wearability, but putting the 24 hour claim on a foundation that didn't even manage to last 1/4 of the time is just awful.

Been on the hunt for a long-lasting, medium to full coverage foundation for a while, and this one's hands-down the best for living up to its claims and value for money. Got this and the Infallible Matte Powder and have since repurchased both. Wore this at a summer wedding, entirely outdoors and this lil' baby stayed put! It makes my skin look flawless and doesn't cake even at the end of the day. Have tried the Lancome Double Wear and I still much prefer this, and at drugstore prices why not?

I so love this foundation! It's easily blended, I love the tube design which makes for easy access to the product. It looks flawless on and is very long lasting, sometimes I have to pitch in and do warehouse labour when I'm short staffed and I tell you, it gets to 40deg in the factory and I will be dripping with sweat but this foundation Does. Not. Budge. I have oily skin and used it with the matching matte primer and it glided on flawlessly with a real techniques 301 Brush Crush foundation brush, the finish was excellent and I needed minimal concealer afterwards. Now the downside. Whether it was the primer or the foundation I'm not sure but the combo on my skin made me break out like never before, within a week of wearing it I had full blown acne across my cheeks and forehead where I've generally been clear and my problem area; chin reigon was so exacerbated there was not a single clear space. I've always had 1 or 2 cystic spots since puberty many moons ago but my whole face has broken out. This is so sad for me because I absolutely loved the way this foundation looks on my skin, it doesn't go cakey or patchy but stays flawless. I would still reccomend this foundation to anyone who has oily skin and wants flawless long wearing makeup, but be careful if you are a sensitive little flower like me!

So I have super oily skin with few dry patches and I've always found most foundations don't sit well on my oily skin. I had never heard of this until I saw a L'Oreal sale at a pharmacy I was in so I went and looked without any intentions of buying anything but I couldn't help myself when I saw this! I think that this foundation blends into my skin so well! I have lots of redness that it covers amazingly, it has more coverage than most foundations I've tried. It blended into my skin so nicely and flawlessly and then it wore on my skin very nicely. I will be using this for a very long time I am in love with it! Wish it was cheaper when its not on sale.

I bought this foundation not long after it came out, it wasn't super expensive, but it wasn't super cheap either. Even though its matte it didn't stick to any dry patches I might have had, or look cakey, like I was wearing too much foundation. If I ran out of the foundations, (I have a problem), I'd buy this one again!

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
