L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Review

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.

I bought this a couple of months ago on sale and have been really enjoying it.

At first I didn't think I would like it, it's very runny and when first applied it looks way glowy and dewy for my liking. But once it's blended out it looks so good on my skin. It's quick to blend and everything sits so nicely on it. It gives me medium coverage. My skin has been very dry lately and it doesn't cling to any dry patches and I absolutely love how it looks on my skin, and makes everything else look on my skin.

I set it with a powder to give me a bit more coverage and because it's a bit too dewy for me without powder. It doesn't last as long when I don't wear powder with it. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because it doesn't last as long as it claims too. I get about 8 or so hours, on an average day, of good coverage and then it kind of disappears and redness from my skin starts showing and it just starts looking bad. This doesn't bother me that much, I haven't found many foundations that last any longer than this, but I definitely didn't find it to give 24 hour wear as it claims and won't be wearing on nights out. Other than that I think this is a really good, affordable foundation!

I was excited to be picked for this review. I had been in the market for a new foundation for a little while now but I was finding it hard to find anything better than my HG tarte water foundation.

I expect a lot from my foundations. I want them to be lightweight but buildable. I don't want them to be cakey and I want them to last. Is that so much to ask? Also I prefer a medium coverage.

For reference I have combo skin leaning more towards dry.

First up the packaging. It's a cute little squeezy tube and its actually fairly handy for travel. I'll probably take this overseas rather than my tarte since it'll travel better and I'm less afraid of this smashing everywhere.

The colour match for this was pretty good - likely one shade too light (bronzer helps) but will probably fit me perfect in the winter time.

It's a very running foundation and I went with my usual method of applying primer (Guerlains Lor) and then using my booty (heh) blender to smooth this out.

If you are expecting a full coverage foundation this is not for you. It actually says on the tube it's a medium coverage foundation and I found this light to medium. It's buildable without being cake and it did a good job of covering my pores on my cheeks. My concealer also layered on top nicely as did any powder products I applied after.

I wore this all day on Saturday from 11am all the way to 9pm. Baby shower all the way to the pride parade where I was shaking my butt off to the music and trying to get a selfie with Jacinda.

I did notice some oils creeping through particularly on my nose. While it didn't settle into any lines I felt it didn't do much to smooth them out either. Next time i'll try to add a bit of powder to these areas to see how they fair. My number one this is that is DID NOT oxidise on me which in the past i've had huge issues with loreal foundations doing that.

All in all I actually liked the foundation and will keep using it.

The packaging of the L'oreal Paris Infallible pro-glow foundation is rather cheap looking. In my opinion, its not a cheap foundation, but it definitely looks it from the packaging. I really love that its SPF as well. The first thing i noticed when applying this product was that it was very chemically smelling. I almost didnt want to put it on my face from the smell. The consistency was just right for a foundation, not too liquid-y but not too thick. It applied very well and i only need a small amount to cover my face. From the small amount i got the right cover hat i like which is around a medium, but of course i could have built it up more. The shade blended well into my skin and it wasn't obvious that i was wearing foundation which is awesome. It did have a little but of a sticky feeling, it wasn't too bad. In regards to lasting, i wouldn't say it lasted 24 hours... but i dont need it to. It lasted me the day at work which is all i need. It is a good foundation but i have used others that are more affordable and give me the same outcome.

I was very excited to be chosen for this trial. I have spent alot of money in my time trying to find a foundation to suit my skin. Definitely great for dry skin, I have had trouble with other foundations leaving dry patches and this one didn't. Nice medium coverage. I was worried it was going to be too light as it's quite a runny liquid but coverage was good. Lasted my 12hr work day which is great!! After using for a week I am more than happy and can see me buying it when I run out.

I've been using the LOreal Infallible 24HR MATTE & TOTAL COVER for over a year so was stoked to be chosen for this trial! I was very nervous picking a colour and found the website recommended for the trial team very helpful - when it arrived it was a perfect match for my skin which is a miracle in itself! (204 natural buff) Which leans more towards a yellow skin tone instead of pink - LOreal is one of the very few that cater to my skin tone. I have Melasma (dark irregular pigment patches) all over my face from sun damage so foundation is something I struggle with as it seems to highlight these patches instead of blur or cover. I also have dry flaky patches & an oily T zone at times.

Thats my backround - now for the product: I was suprised by the runny consistency compared to my other 2 foundations. It felt very lightweight to use/wear and would recommend for people wanting a light/medium coverage or even first time foundation users. You can build it up over areas you need more coverage. Great foundation for during the day but personally I would prefer more coverage/heavier foundation for a night out. Ive used it over a light day cream with SPF15 and it did well mostly staying in place till dinnertime. Then I tried it with a heavier hydrating moisturizer and found it didnt hold quite as well and my oily T-zone was an issue but it didnt grab onto my dry patches like other foundations which was a nice suprise! And another combination I tried was my light day moisturizer, primer and setting powder and it did the best with this combination lasting well into the evening with good coverage. So in terms of 24hr wear I would say more like 12hr if you do all the prep work. And where my pigment patches are concerned I was very pleased that it didnt seem to highlight them but blur them slightly instead so thats a clear winner in my books! The finish of it is 'dewy' which is different for me but I liked it. Overall I love it for daily use and it will now be a constant in my makeup drawer! Thank you Beautyreview & LOreal - great trial

I loved this product. I've been using revlon colorstay for about 9 years and haven't found anything that was remotely as good on my skin. I really enjoyed this foundation and will definitely repurchase. Considering I picked the color from an online swatch, I was very surprised that the color actually looked the same on my skin. I got sand beige as I have some yellow undertones and this was perfect. I found it didn't oxidize either, and stayed true to color throughout the day. The consistency is quite runny, but the coverage is good, so I found I didn't need much product. I applied with both foundation brush and using my fingers and preferred the brush application to get a nice even coverage. The coverage style is true to the description, about medium, but gives a really nice even color with a slightly dewy look. Very natural. I found applying a thin second layer under my eye helped with my dark circles. I would still recommend concealer to cover spots. Setting with powder helped it look flawless for longer, but I mostly just left as is and I still looked like I had foundation in at the end of the work day, don't think it would live up to the 24hrs though!
