L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Review

I applied this foundation using F80 kabuki brush. It’s not the perfect shade for me but the product was very easy to blend, and gave me a medium coverage on one application. The consistency is quite runny, watery. The ‘glow’ this foundation gave is very nice and natural. I love a good glow and this foundation will make you glow all over .

I have combination skin with some dry patches on some parts of my face - this foundation did not accentuate the dry patches at all.

The past couple of days were very humid and I wore this foundation to work -a total of 10 hours , my blush/bronzer remained intact. I was sweating on and off (not heavily) but the foundation did not melt. I didn’t get shiny either.

Very lightweight, I did not feel that I have foundation on my face but when I touch my face, the foundation felt a bit tacky on my hand.

Con: limited shade range available in New Zealand unlike the Loreal true match.

I really loved the colour it was perfect for my skin and it didn't seem to make me look pink like some foundations tend to do. A little definitely goes a long way I used a beauty blender and my fingers to apply and it looked quite nice not Cakey at all! It gave my skin a nice finish and it was very buildable. I loved the coverage no need for concealer! I found it lasted all day but not around my chin and on top of my nose. But it is definitely a new favourite

I am light/fair skinned, it is usually dry and I get occasional dry and flaky patches.

I got the colour 202 Creamy Natural and although it was the best colour match (after checking out the colour range at Farmers), I found that this shade looked slightly grey after applying it on to my face. However, after applying concealer and bronzer, the greyness was less noticeable.

The formula was very runny and blended well into my skin. The packaging recommends using a rolling motion so I tried using my fingers, and a damp beauty blender and found that a damp beauty blender worked the best for me as it gave the most natural and even finish and also dries to the touch. The coverage is buildable but I'd say more towards the light end.

On the skin, the foundation felt very light, which I really liked. The finish to look quite dewy and natural. It isn't quite highlighter-level glow but nice for everyday use. I found that because my skin can be quite dry, I could get away with not using a setting powder and/or setting spray but using them helped a the foundation last a bit longer throughout the day. I can't be sure if it would last 24 hours, but for a normal 8-10 hour day, it held up for me.

In terms of its hydrating effect, I still found that I preferred to wear a light moisturiser underneath. I had a dry patch on my cheek while testing this and I was very impressed that it did not emphasise the flakiness, especially after applying and setting my make up. At the end of my day, the area did start to get a little dry but overall, I couldn't really tell. I also haven't had any issues with breakouts so far.

The packaging nice and simple, the bottle is nice and slim. The bottle says to shake well but because the formula is so runny, it does tend to leak out into the lid - regardless of whether it is shaken or not, so that when you open the lid the end is is covered in foundation. This means it can be a little messy if left on the table with the lid off.

This is a great foundation…for somebody else. Unfortunately, this foundation has a very limited shade range. It fails to cater for the very fair, as well as those with deep skin tones. I trialled 202 Creamy Natural which is the ‘lightest’ shade for warm undertones. Honestly, it looked orange on me. Admittedly, I am extremely pale. My perfect fit is Nars Sheer Glow in Siberia. I feel that I should point out that I knew that this shade would be terrible for me but, I wanted to test the formula.

The formula was amazing! It has a radiant finish that gives a subtle glow to the skin. The foundation does not accentuate any pores and sits nicely on the skin. This formula, when used with a makeup sponge, is easy to blend and build. It has a nice medium coverage that does not feel heavy.

Aside from the shade range my only negative is that the packaging can get a little messy as the foundation is very runny. The foundation has a tendency to spill out of the nozzle when it is upright. So, naturally, I store this upside down.

Ultimately, if L’oreal extended their shade range I would repurchase this beauty in a fairer shade.

Ever since this product released in the US I have heard loads about it - mostly good, so when I saw this trial opportunity I immediately put my hand up for it! This product claims to be a lightweight, medium coverage foundation with a glowy finish and up to 24 hour wear. I personally have combination skin (oily with stubborn dry patches) but I prefer a glowy finish so I was interested to see how this foundation would hold up, especially in this summer's heat. This foundation retails for $39.99 and contains 30ml of product, which is around average. It comes in a plastic squeeze tube type container - as the foundation has a thin texture sometimes this can be hard to control and I end up with too much product.

I chose the shade '202' for this foundation and even though it had the right undertone for me it was just a tiny bit too light. The consistency was very runny - I had to be careful not to spill it when I opened the cap. I applied it using a beauty blender sponge, which left me with light-medium coverage - this was perfect for me. The finish was very glowy and natural, but I had to set it with a tiny bit of powder as otherwise it would have broken down in minutes with my oily skin. Even so, it didn't emphasise my dry patches which is a big plus! I found with primer it lasted around 12 hours, with no breaking down (it just looked a bit oily, but I do have oily combination skin). Without it lasted for a little while less, but still didn't break down. I really liked the finish of this foundation though, and also the fact that it contains SPF is great!

Overall, I really enjoyed this foundation - it has good light-medium coverage, wears well and has a natural glowy finish. I imagine it would be great for dry skin as it is very hydrating. However it is on the mre expensive end of 'drugstore' products, costing $39.99, but I think it is a great product and would definitely buy it if it was on sale or I had a coupon.

I was lucky enough to get on the trial and really was impressed with this foundation. It was easy to apply and didn’t feel or look heavy on. I got used to the shiny look and it made me feel less conscious of my age as it had a much fresher look than my matt foundation. It didn’t take long to apply and lasted all day. I started off with the less is more and added to it until I reached the coverage I wanted.

Having seen rave reviews for this foundation everywhere I was excited to give this a try!

The packaging is great - small and sleek and it is easy to get the product out. Because the tube is so thin I imagine it will be easy to squeeze out product too when there's not much left.

The foundation itself is very runny which is fine because it means a little goes a long way and it spreads really easily. I could spread this nicely using my fingers without the need for a beauty blender or sponge.

I set the foundation with a bit of powder and it definitely had staying power on my face - I put it on around 6:30am and washed it off at 9:30pm and it hadn't budged much.

The actual finish itself is what makes the product - it looks super natural and dewy, and it doesn't really look like you're wearing foundation at all! I would say this is light-medium coverage. I also really like that this product is SPF 15 without that greasy/oily feel of sunscreen.

The only negative for me was the smell - not too pleasant and a bit sunscreen-y. I also ordered the lightest shade 201 Classic Ivory as I am quite fair-skinned; however this was actually far too pale for me (maybe I did get a slight tan over summer!).

I have been using L'Oreal infallible foundations for the longest time and it has come to hold the position of my most favourite 'drug store' foundation by far. So for the newest Pro-Glow edition I had very high hopes and expectations but I was slightly skeptical about how the foundation would fit with my dry/combo skin type. I also have quite a lot of texture and a lot of redness from scarring and rosacea. The packaging is quite basic. A plastic rectangular tube type shape without a pump. Can quite clearly see the colour shade through the tube, thats a plus. The consistency of this foundation is a lot runnier than the others. That's fine, no biggy. Although this signals alarm bells to me as I often feel that runny foundations are often very sheer. I tried this product over primed skin, both the Elf Primer and Benefit Porefessional. After a good shake to mix the product, to my delight, this product is very easy to apply and has very excellent medium coverage, which is probably my greatest desire when looking for the right foundation. It is definitely buildable, having given this the test on nights out and including a music festival! It feels relatively light-weight, particularly after giving it the time to dry down. Especially compared to its cousin the Pro-Matte. The glow is beautiful, although something that will take awhile for me to get used to as I am so used to wearing matte foundations. I was inundated by comments on how healthy and glowy I looked both by males and females. It does look a lot more natural than other foundations and definitely something super easy to wear day to day. It feels comfortable on the face, has great coverage and boasts a healthy looking face. I would definitely continue to enjoy using this product and recommend it to anyone :)

I have purchased this when my skin got really dry with dry patches on chin and skin peeling off and this was a saviour product for me.

Coverage wasn’t full or even medium, more like a light to medium, but it still looked really good on my skin, it didn’t bring out the dryness at all, so I was happy not looking like a rotting zombie throughout the day until I got over this dry skin phase.

I managed to pick up a slightly too dark colour, so after my skin normalised I went back to my usual foundation, I’m so happy that summer is here and I can use this foundation again, will be so good for a quick pick-me up to get a bit of coverage and glowing skin.

I’m happy it didn’t make my skin seem oily, just a light healthy glow and with a bit of setting powder this lasted most of the day for me.
