L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Cover - GOLDEN BEIGE

A little bit goes a long long way with this product boy oh boy! Less is definitley more! The colour chart for selecting the shade itself was misleading I think in person having testers at the stand will be a huge advantage for first time buyers wanting to try this product

I think the product was a bit too light for me which is ironic as this girl is WHITTE. However nothing that some bronzer couldn't fix. The foundations consistency is quite thick and doesnt have any unpleasent fragrances.

It definitley provided a matte finish as promised for those wanting no shine this foundation delivers. I wish the product was in a bottle with a pump- this ensures better value for money and of course hygeine. The product had a more yelloe tone vs the pinky look of the colour swatches.

The foundation lasted all day however if you suffer from a drier skin I would definitley recommend using a primer. I found the product caked up on my nose throughout the day.

Definitley a foundation for people who like the feel of wearing full coverage- really good product for baking and building up a smooth canvas.

Definitley use a make up sponge to apply vs a brush!

I was really disappointed in this product, the shade itself was slightly too light- which is not the products fault. However I found it didn’t blend well into my skin and sat on top making it very uneven and flakey. I tried a few different ways to apply the product and found using my fingers was the best way- but still not great. It’s quite thick and a small amount goes a long way. I found if I applied it to my oily/ sweaty mid arvo skin it worked better and kept my skin matte. I ended up having to mix it with some bb cream to make it more blendable- which worked well. The product size does seem small so I can imagine it wouldn’t last long.

When I first received the product I was pleased with the packaging. It is a sleek and simple tube, with a thin nozzle. The colour was nice, not too warm or cool, and the smell was pleasant, very subtle.

I began to apply the foundation with a wet beauty blender and found it was a bit patchy and sat clearly on top of my skin, not at all blending in. I swapped to a brush for the other side of my face and it applied better, but still did not seem to want to blend with my skin as well as my normal foundation would.

The finish was very matte but was not dull. I found it to last well during the day but if I touched my face or rested it anywhere, there was transfer and the foundation did appear patchy on my face.

I will continue to try it with different primers and skincare underneath as I liked the finish.

I have tried this foundation over a few days now, and put it to the test with some long days travelling for work in this humidity! Overall, I think this foundation is really nice - it has a beautiful matte finish that is quite natural looking, blends beautifully and doesn't look cakey. I found it to be a medium-to-full coverage foundation, that builds well and I barely needed any concealer to cover a couple of spots as I was able to build this foundation enough in any trouble areas! I found that it layered with other products, including my undereye concealer and setting powder well.

In terms of its 24 hour claim, I didn't find that this was the case for me! After about 8-9 hours of wear, I found that this foundation broke down on my more oilier areas (I have oily-combo skin) around my nose and chin, and needed retouching. Of course 24 hours is probably a bit optimistic, however I do have long-wear foundations from other brands that make similar claims and don't break down in these areas quite so quickly. For a more mid-range product, though, I thought this performed pretty well, and I will continue using it and purchase it again based on the blend-ability and natural-looking coverage.

Ok! This foundation I put through the ringer. It does what it says. I went to the pools for a spa to see how it would last with steam and heat - it was good! It definitely lasts all day which is nice, no noticeable patches. I did find it a little thicker than I like which is common with long lasting foundations, I’ve found. Overall it does last and the texture is creamy. I would use it again but only when I need something that’s going to stay put for an event etc.

I don't want to write this foundation off because it could be a primer issue, or skin issue but I didn't have much luck with this foundation. Before I had even set it, it had split on my nose and under my eyes, after finishing my make up it started wearing off in my forehead wrinkles, and it was really obvious. The coverage was great, I definitely can't flaw it on that. It was easy to colour match, I was concerned I hadn't picked right but it was spot on. It was easy to apply, and blend. Maybe it wasn't the right product for my skin, I'm going to try with a new primer and see if that makes a difference.

Overall I think this is a really great product with a reasonable price tag. It did not break me out and looks really smooth once applied. It reminds me of some more high end foundations that I have used in the way it sits on the face. Pros: Good coverage (medium buildable), wore well didn’t wear off too quickly on my combination/oily skin, sat really nicely it was not cakey at all. Cons: Colour range could be improved, I sit between two colours so to get the best match I need to mix two.

I was a bit excited about this trial but definitely picked the wrong colour for my skin which was far too light (bad judgement on my part).

I love how it comes in a squeezey tube, much easier to get the product out without wasting too much as you do with glass bottles.

The formula is easy to apply, i tried with brushes and fingers and it works the same. Because of the mismatch in colours i used this product on the areas i wanted highlighted and then mixed with my current foundation i used into the other areas.

Its definitely not full coverage and It didnt seem to withstand our 30 degree temps here at the moment and ended up creasing and sliding all over my face. Perhaps better with a setting powder and spray?

Id be keen to try this again in winter when my face is a bit paler and its not as hot.

This foundation is fantastic it has a light but creamy texture covering great coverage and easy application. I've found that a little goes a long way if you want a nice light coverage. I can't pin point the smell I associate with it, its delightful albeit slightly stronger than desired when I applied too much. This didn't cause issues rather just personal preference. I enjoy that while being matte it offers dimension and doesn't make your face look flat and dull. The claim that it lasts 24H I would believe to be true. I do pole fitness as my exercise and it was able to withstand a hot sweaty fast paced routine that my previous make up would start to look patchy and gross. Something this foundation did not. It stayed put and had me looking hot the whole time.

The range of shades is great and I found the 110 shade to be spot on for my skin tone.

I've already recommended this foundation to a few friends and in terms of value for money I will definitely be buying it again.

I am an absolute foundation hoarder, so I was really happy to be choosen to try this foundation out! I wear makeup every day, all day (for work), so this was a great test to see how long this would last on my skin.

The formula of this foundation is beautiful, a little went a long way with this and I found that even though I was using a smaller amount, the coverage was still great! I applied it first with a brush and then pat it down with a sponge, and then a couple of other days I applied with just the sponge and preferred the look of that better. I found this foundation super easy to blend and I choose the absolute perfect colour too which was great. I found that the coverage was really great but that it did highlight my larger pores, but didn't sink in to my under eye fine lines.

I don't think I would call this foundation 'matte' though, I thought it went on more like a demi matte, so I still set it with setting powder which then made it matte. The foundation stayed on each day really well, some days I wore it for up to 14 hours and the foundation hadn't seperated or moved at all, which is massive for me because I usually find my foundations seperate around my nose and chin by the end of the day. I found that my t-zone was oily at the end of the day, but again this is nothing new for me, it just meant it wasn't '24 hr matte' for me.

Overall, I really loved this foundation and I can see myself continuing to buy it. It's a great summer foundation since it lasts all day through the heat, but also since it wasn't matte/or drying on my skin this is probably one that I can wear through winter without it looking dry and caking! This gets two thumbs up from me.
