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

I have loved discovering this foundation, thank you for opening up the world of matte looks to me BR!

I have uneven skin - nothing major, just rosey patches and a few sun spots. I also have the mean glasses tan line - so I do need a bit of coverage to get an even base, but I don't need a super heavy coverage as my skin texture overall is generally smooth and free from breakouts.

This product is very buildable. At its lightest, its medium cover - heavier than a BB cream. One layer is still a very matte finish. Two to three layers give very full coverage.

I used a beauty blender to apply, its just my preference, but I think it would do well with a brush too.

I don't party all day and night any more, so I can't put the 24hour claims to the test - but I do believe it would get pretty close! After a day at work, this was still on and in place. It doesn't transfer on to clothes and you'll definitely want a cleanser to remove this . A quick scrub in the shower will not get it all off!

I think my favourite thing about this product is that although it is a matte finish, it isn't flat. It doesn't leave skin looking dusty and grubby, its a kind of multi-dimensional matte if you like.

I was really impressed with this foundation formula! It’s full coverage but doesn’t feel heavy on the skin! It’s matte but not drying on the skin. It covered all my redness but managed to still look natural but kept me shine-free. I also got a compliment while wearing the foundation, my colleague said my makeup looked really good, even better than usual. So it made a noticeable and positive difference! I’m definitely going to keep using this foundation!

I have 2 L'Oreal foundations that I use most days and it's one of my holy grails so I have high hopes for this new foundation which is L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Cover.

I really love it and I use it everyday now. I would say it's medium to full coverage depending on how much product you use. The summer weather makes my skin so oily but this foundation sticks to my face like a charm! I really love it and the shade is just perfect for my skintone. I didn't use any primer or anything during the trial and I could say that it stays all day on my face. I haven't tried to use it for a complete 24hours because I usually wash my face when I go home but I can vouch for its longevity. It's definitely not caking, flaking or fading which is really nice.

I would absolutely repurchase it when I ran out of it. I have finish two bottles of L'Oreal foundation and that's how much I love using it!

I found this to be a perfect everyday foundation and really good for oily skin. The texture is thick and mousse like, but once it is on the face it blends in really nicely. This foundation I would say is medium coverage not full coverage. Despite this, the foundation is buildable. I found that despite it clinging to any dry patches, it does do what is says it would and cancels out redness. And my face remained somewhat matte at the end of the day. So a win in my eyes! Would recommend.

This is one of the first matte foundations I have tried so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The consistency of the foundation is quite creamy and thick. I blended it in my hand before application to warm it up but I’m not sure this was necessary. Additionally I used a sponge to blend it out. The colour was a good match for my skin tone and didn’t oxidise over time.

The foundation promises 24hours, it wears pretty well but it I did find it broke down a bit over time )didn’t stay matte) however, the coverage remained well.

I was lucky to be able to review this as part of the trial team, and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised!

First impressions were that I really like the packaging, nice and easy design, to take only as much product as you need—prior to this trial I have been using the OG infallible one and the lid and nozzle gets clogged with product, so I like the design of this one :)

When applying this, I found I had to work quite quickly as it would dry fast, therefore it can cake but working it over with my damp beauty blender helped a lot.

Coverage is fantastic, my freckles, sunspots and redness disappeared and it lasted a full day [including those heated summer days—bonus!], I've found with previous foundations that they fade and show redness before lunchtime, so this was a great result!

Translucent/finishing powder, bronzer, highlighter and setting spray worked nicely over the top of this foundation without causing anything to cake or transfer.

Overall, I'm quite impressed by this foundation, it did 90% of what it claimed [beside a small amount of caking which is easy to sort out] but overall a surprisingly light and not-so-drying foundation that I could wear all day without it fading like crazy—I would definitely buy again!

I was really excited to try this foundation because I have the infallible matte one already and I love it, it’s one of my favourite foundations so I was very excited to see how the new formula compared to the old one, and I genuinely think it’s better, it feels super light on the skin, and this shade is prefect for me. I love the finish it has and it doesn’t feel like I’m wearing a full face of foundation like it genuinely feels so lightweight and it looks rather natural, but it’s very full coverage. Like I have freckles and I hate them showing through my make up and this covered them you could only very slightly see them through the make up which is a big thing for me being so insecure about them. I honestly would highly recommend this foundation and a little bit goes along way which is always amazing when it comes to foundation.

Thanks to Beauty Review for sending this to me to test!

First impressions: Looks like a standard L'oreal foundation tube with a soft-touch finish, colour on the outside appears to be the colour of the product showing through, not fragranced (although not an unpleasant scent to the product).

Wears pretty well, with buildable coverage up to full. I used it also as a spot correction and blended out on lighter-wear days. Blends out well with both a brush and a damp sponge.

Definitely didn't wear for 24 hours, more like a patchy 6-8 with powder and setting spray. Broke down slightly with the oils from my skin, despite varying primers used over the test (Bobbi Brown, Becca, Maybelline and Benefit- also without primer), and despite powder, but still held up fairly well, and didn't look too patchy (probably also not helped by the fact that I touch my face without thinking ALL the time).

This is a great foundation for the L'oreal foundation price point, and it behaves comparably on my skin to more expensive foundations that I've tried, so I'll definitely finish it out, and maybe even re-purchase it when I'm done!!
