L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Review

On first using the foundation it felt quite thin as i usually apply with a wet sponge. This seemed to spread it unevenly and I had to apply more product so I tried again with a dry sponge. The product went on easily and my skin felt soft, however by the afternoon it felt quite itchy. put this down to the heat and humidity and din't think any more of it. Day two and I applied after my usual moisturiser again and by the afternoon my skin felt lumpy, on removing it at night I noticed i had red raised spots only on my face. I tried again the next day without moisturiser and with a fresh sponge and my skin felt sore and itchy after an hour so i removed it. Obviously the product was not compatible with my skin, this doesn't mean however that others will necessarily have a reaction to it. Although I can be sensitive to some products I have never had a reaction to foundation before so I was surprised and didn't have a rash anywhere else on my body. To be honest I wasn't that keen on the consistency anyway as it seemed too thin. Sorry L'Oreal I'm not a fan

The title says it all really. I trialled L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation for a week now. It certainly is lightweight in that it is very runny and I really wondered how long a tube would last. Not a good sign, as this foundation is well over my normal budget. I found that my skin dried out when using this foundation. Considering the product claims to hydrate and is for normal to dry skin, I couldn't work out why this could be. Maybe it wasn't a thick enough coverage? Tick that it has a spf component. But I will not purchasing.

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.

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 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!!
