L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Review

I was so excited for this product! Anything with dewy or glow in the title I snatch up because my skin is like the Sahara. Unfortunately this looked terrible on my skin, I use thick foundations quite often but this was CAKEY and after applying it I had to immediately take it off. It emphasized my dry patches (some I didnt even know I had) and made my pores and fine lines look huge. I'm so sad about this because it was such a highly hyped product and looks beautiful on some people's skin but it did not work on mine!!

I was lucky enough to score this from the Rewards Vault recently and was eager to try it as I'd heard its a good dupe for my beloved yet pricey NARS Sheer Glow.

Unfortunately for me I could not get this foundation to agree with me - I tried several different primers (Hour Glass, Porefessional and a NARS one), I went without primer, I set with my Urban Decay setting spray and set with my Australis setting powder. This foundation hates me.

I have oily skin particularly through my t-zone and every which way I tried to get it to sit on my skin it would separate within 2-3 hours particularly across my nose and chin.

This foundation is quite runny (like Sheer Glow) and it has a medium/light coverage which I wasn't able to build to a more dense medium coverage whether using a brush, fingers or sponge. It looked OK once I'd set it for an hour or so but after 2-3 hours it looked awful and after trying it for a good 10 days I've had to admit defeat.

I'd had this foundation on my radar for a while. I love a foundation that gets me through a busy day without touch ups, but also a foundation that doesn't look too matte and flat.

This foundation is very runny compared to others. First impressions was that the coverage was going to be quite light.

Application wasn't as flawless using a foundation brush and ended up using my fingers. Coverage is okay - it is a medium coverage and on the light side of medium for my liking.

By mid afternoon I did notice some shiny areas, and my chin especially was looking a little pink where foundation had worn off a little.

Definitely no issue removing this makeup, and my skin didn't feel dry like other long wearing foundations, but the coverage wasn't quite as heavy as I'd like, and therefore I noticed the wear long before I would with other foundations I've used.

It's an okay foundation, and if you want something lighter than the usual stay put foundations, this one might for for your. I loved how it felt on my skin, but that was probably about it, so I still haven't found that holy grail foundation yet.

I have tried sooooooo many foundations and they seem to cake so bad on me. When I saw this being trialled on BR and after all the great reviews I decided to give it a go. I have pale skin and got the shade classic ivory which is a perfect match.

It is quite a runny consistency which I like. I prepped my skin and applied with a damp beauty blender. It applies smoothly and the coverage is medium on me. It looks quite natural. I find that this looks better a few hours after applied. It gives me a soft glow which is nice as my skin is usually dry and dull.

It wore very well throughout the day, I didn't end up looking like an oil slick which I was worried about as I'm not used to wearing 'glow' foundations. A beautiful foundation which I think is great for dry skin.

I've applied using a sponge and my fingers but my sponge gives a bit of a better finish. Loving this foundation! Will be great for winter when I need that glow :-)

I was lucky enough to win this through Beauty Review and was so exvited to try it as I have so many friends that rave about L’Oreal foundations. I have combination/normal skin and have found this foundation goes on beautifully and makes my skin glow almost instantly. Unfortunately within about 4 hours its almost non existant. This foundation is definitely not suited to a more oily skin as it will only make your skin appear shinier. It may help using a mattifying balm but even with a setting spray I just dont feel this foundation lasts. It is a nice lightweight foundation and the colour was a perfect match for my skin so if you’re a little dryer then this may work for you. I will continue wearing it during the day as I do love the glow it leaves on my skin but will probably not repurchase

Oh my goodness, new Holy Grail foundation! This is so amazing beyond words. Though I have always been a fan of L’Oreal foundations. I love the squeeze tube packaging that it comes in – it’s always so easy to get the product out and I find it to be mess free. The amount of foundation received was decent too, it is sure to last a good amount of time.

The foundation itself is so light and it applies to the face so softly, and goes on so evenly. It is basically liquid gold. It stays on all day and the dewy glow it gives to the skin is just amazing – it was so noticeable – it’s a glow that makes your skin look healthy and radiant, not overpowering. I have a normal skin type and it is just perfect, extremely easy to apply, and doesn’t cake at all on my skin.

It has a medium coverage – it doesn’t hide everything, but I truly believe it still makes your skin still look flawless but also natural. It does layer well to. Pair it with some concealer and a light dusting of powder on top and this will help with the coverage.

I definitely find this foundation lasted the day and when I come home from work my foundation still looks great. It sinks into the skin so well. I have not had any break outs since using this product either.

Highly recommend and I will definitely be repurchasing!

After seeing RawBeautyKristy talking about this foundation countless times I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! It finally came to Farmers so I wasted no time in purchasing it. The shade range in store is a little lack lustre, but I found a shade that matches me well. I have only worn this a handful of times so far but its definitely my holy grail foundation. The price isn't too bad ($34 iirc). It lasts well throughout the day, gives a lovely glow but doesn't look oily, it covers well (all my acne scarring) but doesn't make you look cakey or like you're wearing a mask, it blends in so quickly (with a sponge or a flat top kabuki brush is best, ) it's all around just everything I'm looking for in a foundation.

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 really like the bottle this foundation comes in. It is a plastic squeeze bottle which means I can try to get,every last drop of product, as I hate that most of my foundations are in badly designed bottles which there is the annoying bit at the bottom of the bottle you can’t get to. This is a big tick for me. The foundation itself is a thin liquid and I was a bit worried about the coverage as my previous foundations are all quite thick liquid. On applying ‘as per instructions on bottle - dab spots on and rub in circling motion’ I was surprised with the good coverage of this product. I did not use as much product as I thought I would need to..another big tick. Sp15 sunscreen is a positive, saves adding another cream. The foundation lasted well but was at its best for up to about 6 hours when I noticed my skin getting oily in the usual spots, but lasted well until 8-10 hours - but I was happy with this as who does want to keep their make up on for 24 hours. i tried the Creamy Natural shade and found this a good match for my complexion. I would definitely consider buying this product again, I found many positives and nothing really bad about it. I have been a long term user of Maybelline products but this foundation may just well convert me.

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!).
