L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Review

This foundation is targeted towards Normal to Dry skin, which is right up my alley. While I didn't get long to try this out (due to a shipping delay), my first impressions so far is that the foundation has good intentions but unfortunately doesn't follow through. I found that the foundation accentuated my pores and the finish is quite powdery. However I would say the coverage is pretty good if you're looking for something light/medium. The staying power is excellent. I also would give props to it for including sunscreen, so important during our Kiwi summers! Ultimately it was an ok foundation, I won't be running to the stores to purchase however if you're looking for something decent then give this a try at least.

This is a liquidy foundation - the texture reminds me a bit of MAC Face and Body - but it's nowhere near as versatile. The thin-ness made it a little difficult to apply with a brush and I'd recommend patting it in with a sponge instead. The brand recommends fingers but I find that messy and potentially unhygienic, plus tools generally give a better finish. While the product says "pro glow" and is targeted towards normal to dry skin, the texture and finish was a bit unforgiving. It looks nice and natural on the skin where it's smooth and hydrated already, but clings visibly to areas of texture and clogged pores rather than smoothing out around them. It's also a bit thin for my oilier areas - definitely a product best suited to people who already have a fairly normal, clear skin. Lasting power was fine, I haven't tested it any longer than a normal day but I didn't notice any visible fading or wearing away, apart from where I was a bit oilier. I really like the packaging because anything in a soft plastic, squeezy tube makes heaps of sense to me. Practical, unbreakable, and easy to get every last drop out of it. I'm not fussed about the SPF content. I'd almost rather foundations didn't have SPF in because the SPF 15 in this isn't going to give anyone enough sun protection, so it kind of gives you false comfort. The most disappointing thing about this foundation is the lack of shades available in stores here. Shade range has been a huge hot topic in the beauty community recently and L'Oreal have the budget and the reach to be a bit more inclusive.

I was so impressed by the coverage that this product provided. It was easy to apply either a sweeping layer for a day of errands or fuller coverage for that date night I finally got with my hubby! I really like the tube, it's easy to apply just a little to my applicator without it getting everywhere. My only concern would be near the end of the tube making sure I can get most of it out. But then again you get that with any container. I would have given it a 5 but I found that the glow of the foundation was a bit much with my older (cough cough 40 year old skin) but I love the feel of it so much I have ordered some powder just so I can try it with a more matt finish. I know that this isn't the point of the foundation (it's supposed to make you glow) but I just want the option not to. My skin felt great with it on!

Love that this contains SPF15 ! The container is nice and easy to manage - being plastic its not a big deal if it hits the tile floor so love that!! Texture - not so keen - for me this was a bit too liquid, and quite thin, just not what im used to. I appreciated the staying power - most impressive but I feel the coverage was more low-medium than medium. It did have a nice radiant finish overall.

For me this was just ok nothing too impressive and I wouldn't buy it again, but shared it with my make up Guru 18 year old - who loved it, and it looked great on her!!!

I love this foundation! the colour matched perfectly and gives such a nice, natural finish. It has enough coverage to coverup blemishes but doesn't look cakey.

The only downside is that it does go a bit oily around my t-zone after a couple of hours wear - this is easily fixed with a bit of powder throughout the day - but I feel it doesn't really live up to the 24 hour wear claim.

I would definitely recommend to someone wanting light weight medium coverage and would buy again!

The sales pitch really oversells this product, long wear, hydrating glow, never dull or greasy, these are big calls and unfortunately it doesn't live up to the hype. When it arrived I was underwhelmed, for a product that retails for around $40 it looks pretty cheap. I was willing to forgive that if it lived up to what it claims to do. Opening the tube, it doesn't smell great - yay it has sunscreen in it, but its not a great scent which seems to linger with wear. I try it, the thin liquid goes a long way, and the coverage is pretty good, but I don't look particularly radiant, definitely a little greasy. I add a little powder over the top and head out. I get home after work, my cheeks and chin (my problem areas) are a little blotchy but its been a hot day, over the rest of the week I do the same, and much the same result. I definitely couldn't head out from work without reapplying which is a shame because it claims to be 24hr wear, I could forgive a quick touch up but basically a full reapply falls well short of 24hr wear! I wish this had been the miracle foundation I had been searching for, but my search will continue for now.

The packaging of this foundation is attractive and easy to handle. The foundation came out of the tube nicely but was a thinner consistency than I was expecting.

I applied the foundation with a foundation brush, but did find I had to switch to a beauty blender as the thinness of the product was more easily applied in this method.

I achieved good coverage, especially in problem areas such as red cheeks and darker under eyes. I was left with a glowing, natural look that I really loved. The foundation felt light on my skin and it didn't look thick or oily.

After a few hours I did find I had to blot as the foundation started to go a little bit oily in certain areas. But once blotted it looked great again, and lasted all night.

Overall I was happy with the Pro-Glow foundation and would use it again without a doubt.

This foundation is marketed as a long wearing 24 hour hydrating glow. Yes is is dewy and hydrating but it was not long wearing on my skin.

My skin type is combination with normal skin on the perimeter of my face and a slightly oily nose. Slightly TMI but i'm a bit of a hot mess. I over heat really quickly and am more sweaty then I would like to admit. Plus i'm a Dance teacher!

Straight away I was hesitant about this would holding up on my skin because of the above issues. I tried it out on the weekend (no dancing involved) and was surprised how beautiful it looked on my skin. Even the Boyfriend commented on how nice it looked. I wore it for about 8 hours doing general weekend chores and only started to look oily at the 6 hour mark.

I then decided to put it to test and wore it to work. 4 hours in and it was not pretty. Setting powder removed some of the excess shine but it left it looking cakey and some of it had moved around.

While this is not a good foundation for me to work in I did like it for weekend use. Especially on the days when I know i'm only going to be leaving the house for a few hours.

This foundation does look stunning when you first apply it and if you are a dry skinned beauty then i highly recommend it! I'm looking forward to using this in winter as my skin tends to become super dry and I think this might work nicely for me.

As a pale faced babe ( WN13 Mac, 120 Fenty) I was a bit worried about colour matching and I really struggle to find anything that works from to drug store. Not only am I super pale but I also have a neutral under tone. I have never been able to use L'Oréal as nothing has ever matched me. So this foundation was a pleasant surprise.

Normally if a foundation is labeled Ivory it's going to be too yellow for my skin but this was perfect!

I am now going to hunt out the Matte formula and give it a go.

When this product arrived, I originally thought that I had chosen the wrong colour, as it appeared much lighter than I expected, but it turns out that it was perfect for my skin tone. The coverage is incredible on me, and covers all of my problem areas, easily lasting my entire work day. I have no issues with oily skin, but do have a lot of red tones, which were covered easily over the entire day. In certain dry patches, you could see the cracking by the end of the day but only if you looked at my skin from a fairly close distance.

The liquid was easy to spread, and you don't need much of it at all to get great coverage. The best thing for me is that even though I have sensitive skin, I had no reaction to this product at all - I'm definitely keeping it on my product list!!

L'oréal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation was a real treat to use. First of all I'd like to say I love how handy it is to have a foundation in a easy to use, petite sized squeezy bottle. The Foundation itself has a matte like texture once applied and does look glowing on skin. I really enjoyed using it because not only did it make my skin shine but it had a nice natural tone, and I'm all go for natural. I have dry skin so I get weary to certain foundations I do use. I think this product would be great as a handbag must have because you could use it anywhere it is compact and easy to apply.
