Classic ivory

I was so looking forward to the arrival of this product ,it’s so hard to choose a new foundation in the shops and I often end up with one that just isn’t right for me .

I love loreal products in general so was hoping it lived up to my expectations . And wow it exceeded them .

Certainly ticks all my boxes .,and why I’ve rated it so high .

I loved the size of the tube ,so easy to slip into your handbag . It’s a lovely thin liquid ,not thick and glucky ,so easy to apply . At first I thought the colour might be a little light even for my pale complexion ,but that wasn’t the case ,once I blended it ,it was actually the best match I’ve ever found for my skin tone .

And yes it did give my skin a nice healthy glow to it .coverage was listed as moderate ,however it covered all my imperfections just fine .

I am very impressed with this foundation and have decided to change from my existing one .

Price wise it is reasonable too ,I’ve yet to see how it wears during the day ,but I can come back and let you know . I would highly recommend this to all my female friends and family . It is a must have for me . Thank you for this opportunity ,it had allowed me to finally find the right foundation for me .

I also love it has a SPF factor a plus In my books .

Tips: I found you don’t actually need a lot to get good coverage ,as it glides on and blends in very well ,so use it sparingly .

I found the foundation lasted as well as any other ,maybe a little longer ,my problem areas, my chin with broken veins needed a touch up ,but does with any foundation I use .

Initially I thought there was a glow to my skin but found that it doesn’t seem to be the foundation ,maybe lots of moisturiser underneath ,I feel it should add more of a glow as that what it states ,probably my only dissatisfaction of the product

I liked the coverage too - it evens out my complexion very well.

I was surprised at the level of coverage ,as I have redness in places ,a few age spots and broken veins ,it did a good job making my skin almost look flawless .

Also like to add shake the tube well before each application . I found the foundation stayed on as well as any of my others . When first applied it was very pale,I looked white ,but it tends to change ,after a few minutes .has yellowish tonings.

Creamy Natural Glow

This product comes in a no-nonsense plastic tube. Simple, with a black screw top. On the back it describes which finish, wear time, coverage and texture relate to that product, which is very helpful if you’re looking at the range in a store. I didn’t read it before I tried the product (you don’t consult the map until you’re lost, right?). If I had, I would’ve noticed it said ‘radiant finish, 24 hours wear, medium coverage, and air-light texture’. And I would’ve been very happy with those claims.

So, the product colour I chose is creamy natural, which is ideal for my skin tone, which is light/medium, my skin type which is dry, and my complexion which is uneven but not overly so. It is kind-of pale brown and you can see it through the tube. The product is surprisingly thin. As I was applying it I was struck by how light it is and how much like CC cream the finish is. I use CC cream and usually tinted foundation every day, as I like to keep things as light as possible and that combination works well. I do use foundation for various occasions though. And I do sometimes just use CC cream if I’m not going too far that day. I found that this foundation covers both CC cream and tinted foundation in one so I can use it alone. The coverage isn’t heavy, so wouldn’t cover a lot of major blemishes, but that’s fine by me as it is perfectly able to cover my skin imperfections. I dot it on my face, as recommended on the pack, and roll it around with my beauty blender, for a smooth finish.The finish is radiant, as per the product claim.

I would say this foundation is ideal for anyone to use, but may be particularly suitable for young skin that doesn’t require heavy coverage, and mature skin that often looks unnatural under heavy foundation. But having said that, it really is ideal for anyone who likes or requires a light to moderate coverage and who likes the finish of a face that started with CC cream.

It lasts me all day at work, so 7am until 5.30pm, but I wash my face when I get home so don’t know how much longer it would last. It is as easily removed as any other foundation. I use a cleanser and wipes and it doesn’t leave any trace on my skin.

Another positive is that it is SPF15 rather than no SPF which is usual for the products I normally use. I really like it!

$40 is certainly a fair price for this product. I’ve found some great foundations via BR over the years, but this one is amongst the best for my skin colour and type, because of its lightness and the ‘CC’effect. I highly recommend it.

Tips: Apply to clean, moisturised, skin with a beauty blender and blend blend blend for a radiant smooth finish.

I LOVE THIS

This is one of my new favourite foundations, I have very dry skin so dewy/ glowy foundations are great for me. I don't like superrr full coverage but I also don't like being able to see all my redness and this foundation covered everything perfectly without looking cakey or too full coverage! It wore throughout the day quite nicely I wouldn't recommend to girls with oily skin as I can see it getting quite oily throughout the day but for me with dry skin, this works wonders. I personally think the colour range is okay, they could obviously have more available for girls in New Zealand as to my knowledge there is only 6 shades available which is not much. If you have normal or dry skin I definitely think give this foundation a go it is perfect for girls who don't like super full coverage but also don't like sheer - no coverage foundations, for me it is the perfect amount of coverage and that is why I love it so much!

Tips: if you have oily skin and want to try this, use a lot of setting powder as naturally, it is a dewy foundation and if you have oily skin it might slide around a bit more :)

Dewy Skin Dream!

If you are someone who loves a full coverage matte finish, then this is NOT the foundation for you. However, if you love natural glowing skin, get excited!

I am somebody who loves to mix my foundations with strobe cream or similar, to make it lighter consistency and to add a glow to my skin. I particularly like to do this in the summer when I have a more tanned face, and it's so warm, heavy makeup would otherwise sweat off! The Pro Glow is essentially a pre-mixed foundation and strobe cream - perfect for me!

This foundation comes in a similar size bottle to the Infallible Matte, except it's more flat then round. The formula is really runny, my first time using it I squeezed out way too much because I wasn't expecting it to be such a thin liquid-type consistency.

it's so easy to apply, smooth and light, it glides on. I prefer to apply foundation with a dense flat top brush, and these types of brushes are perfect for buffing in this foundation. I haven't tried it with a beauty blender.

I have tried applying this over a few different primers; Becca Backlight Primer, Too Faced Hangover X and MAC Strobe Cream - all very hydrating and brightening primers to enhance the finish. Personally I wouldn't use this over a mattifying primer, because I think that defeats the purpose.

My skin looks so smooth and healthy, I have received lots of compliments. Once you have set your under-eyes, bronzed etc, you are left with a really soft, natural glow - not a shiny or greasy finish.

I don't know that I agree with a 24 hour lasting power - does anyone wear makeup for that long? However my skin still looks good at the end of the day, so that's a thumbs up from me!

Tips: Don't set your entire face with powder, just the areas that you need (e.g. under-eyes and any areas you get oily) otherwise that can mattify the glow!

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Revie

I am so pleased I was selected for this trial as this foundation is one of the best foundations I have come across, and I have tried lots. I had been searching for a foundation that had the natural looking coverage like a BB creme but more than the BB cremes gave me without resorting to the sort that gives that thick, dull, dry look. I picked out shade 204 natural buff and it was perfect for me On application I found the liquid lightweight which allowed it to blend flawlessly. It gave a flattering natural looking coverage, with a silky, radiant finish (I have freckles and sun spots)

I first applied the L'Oreal foundation at around 8 in the morning and by 10pm that night, with no touch ups my skin was still looking good. I was really impressed as this day had reached temperatures of approx 30 degrees celsius. It didn't cling to any dry areas on my face and wasn't flat or cakey.

All in all a long wearing good coverage weightless formula that blends fantastically with zero dryness. Will I buy it ? you bet I will

Tips: If you did want more coverage I found I could add a second coat but needed to leave a few minutes in between coats to get best result.

I have tried many foundations - this is the best!

The packaging is simple and plain. The bottle is slim and easy to access the foundation. On the back, it has markers to rate the foundation stating what it offers. It states its finish is radiant, wears up to 24 hours, offers medium coverage and has an air-light texture. This absolutely truthfully summarises the foundation and how it looks and wears over the day.

I have worn the foundation over two days now and have been very impressed. I was lucky enough to get exactly the right colour for my skin tone. The foundation is hydrating which is really nice as I have a tendency to get dry skin around my lower nose area. It makes my skin feel really dewy and moisturised all day, but not feel like I'm caked on with makeup.

The foundation is quite a runny consistency but offers very good coverage still. A little goes a long way and it really helps to even out skin tone. My skin can be prone to breakouts and I always have blackheads and red areas over my nose area. Wearing this foundation you wouldn't know, it completely hides all imperfections.

It leaves my skin looking radiant, glowing and dewy and I often feel like I don't need to apply as much highlighter when wearing this foundation.

I have worn this foundation on hot/muggy days, and whilst being active and the makeup wears well. I haven't worn in for over 14 hours, but at 14 hours the foundation still looks great.

I'm so glad I've tried this foundation. I find a really good foundation hard to find that doesn't cost a fortune! Just goes to show, expensive foundations aren't necessarily any better.

I would 100% recommend to everyone!

Pleasantly surprised

I have been using Revlon Colourstay for about 15 years and whenever I try a new foundation (which has been many) it never wears as well. This new foundation by L’Oréal was awesome! I really liked the consistency of the foundation, it felt light to go on but still provided me with good coverage. Most importantly it lasted all day! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a long wearing foundation.

Tips: I found it went on best with a foundation brush compared to a finger! Use a primer before applying as it goes on so smoothly and maybe helps it stay on longer.

Finally a dry skin foundation!

I did not know what to expect with this foundation when it arrived at my door but I have been pleasantly surprised by it.

As a person with dry skin I've found so many product cater to oily skin for foundation but this L'oreal Paris Pro-Glow promised to hydrate my skin and leave a natural looking glow. Although the product itself is a very liquid-type formula which I found it applied well. After trying application with a brush, my fingers and a beauty blender it was clear that the beauty blender worked best. The foundation was a true medium coverage as a step up from a BB/CC cream but not an 'airbrush' flawless look. I enjoyed the natural look it gave it and healthy glow as the colour was a great match for my own skin. In terms of '24hr long lasting' I didn't test this promise in full but on a hot, sweaty night out it stayed on really well. This product is a fantastic substitute for an expensive MAC one with similar results.

Tips: Apply with a beauty blender for best finish as the product isn't mousse-like!

New Favourite!

I have always really struggled with face base products. After only a couple of hours I usually want to scrub it off my face because it feels so heavy and sticky. However, liquid and powder foundation tend not to stick to my t-zone area, leaving me with dried and flaking makeup.

The packaging is nothing special for this product. It certainly doesn't scream 'luxury', but of course that is not what you are paying for in a $40 product. I definitely appreciate that it is a squeeze tube though, as it means I can squeeze every last drop out of it.

Firstly, thank you to the website findation.com for giving me the perfect Pro-Glow colour match - 202 Creamy Natural. I was so impressed at how truly natural it looked on my face by giving me a little bit more colour yet not turning my complexion too pink/yellow/orange.

I absolutely adored the consistency of this foundation. It is quite fluid, which I appreciated because it spread evenly across my face and could be spread quite thin. You can easily layer the liquid for more coverage, but personally I prefer only light coverage so was happy with one swipe across my entire face. In saying that, I would probably class this as a 'light to medium' coverage foundation, so if you want a medium level foundation this would still work well.

As mentioned above, my biggest issue is that face products tend to flake off my t-zone. L'Oreal Pro-Glow DID NOT DO THIS! It claims to be hydrating, and I feel it absolutely is. It stayed in place from 8am to 6pm (probably longer, if I had the patience!) and did not dry out the problem areas of my face. This was the result when wearing it alone, with a primer underneath, and with SPF 50 underneath.

I have also unfortunately had really bad breakouts this week. As I'm sure everyone knows, bad acne or breakouts can severely diminish your confidence. When I saw how bad my skin looked I didn't even want to go to work! But WOW I was so impressed that I could use Pro-Glow both with concealer and as a concealer itself, and it gave me enough confidence to strut my stuff at work.

The finish is certainly a glowy look. I used it as an everyday product over the last week, but I can imagine it would also be stunning at night time and would make highlighter really pop.

Overall, I will 100% re-purchase this.

Tips: I actually had a lot of success applying this with my fingers rather than a beauty blender or brush. If you haven't quite mastered using your beauty tools, that is absolutely no problem with Pro-Glow!

Infallible pro-glow

Gosh I think I’m in love with this product! I’ve worn foundation for the past 20 years and I honestly feel this foundation is my perfect match for my dry skin. At the end of the day I don’t have flakey foundation on the bridge of my nose as some past foundation has done. I am trialing 207 sand beige and the colour was a pretty good match. Directions say to shake well and when you do you can hear how light and liquid the foundation is. It also says to dot in rolling motion for flawless coverage and yes it does give great coverage for a medium, what I like is it is buildable too, I could add more to places where I have broken capillaries and it did well to cover them (I often use concealer) but found with an extra build with the foundation I didn’t really need to add concealer. With my job I don’t need to wear makeup as such but like to use foundation to cover my not so great skin and keep a natural look, infallible pro-glow I felt did that without looking heavy and nor did it feel heavy on the skin. Actually I liked the way it sat on the skin - it is certainly a radiant finish but I found a light dust of powder and it was fine. Unfortunately I trialled this product in the hottest humid conditions so I have had days off perspiring heavily so don’t feel I can honestly say it lasts 24 hours and I don’t wear makeup for that long anyway I’m one to remove my makeup once I get home at the end of the day. However I did go from work to out and just added a little more and I was very impressed how fresh it looked again so well done L’Oreal I’m totally sold on the product will definitely be using this for some time to come.

Tips: Follow the instructions- shake well before use and the rolling motion was a great tip.
