L'Oreal Paris Infallible Freshwear Liquid Foundation

I was looking forward to trying this foundation as I'm always looking for an affordable alternative to my more luxury favourites. This one I liked, but I don't see it becoming my most reached for foundation.

I love the packaging - the glass bottle and pump has a luxe feeling about it, and the pump gives just the right amount (one small pump) for my face and its needs.

The foundation is very liquidy and spreads easily. I've tried using this with a brush and a sponge and I find a brush works best - for some reason using a sponge made the foundation look funny on my face. The coverage was great and easily buildable where I needed it most and I found it lasted well throughout the day without becoming oily or breaking up.

What I don't love about this foundation is the application - even with a brush it wasn't as easy as other foundations I have used, and also it sat funny on my forehead and emphasised the pores/lines there, which my other foundations didn't do.

Will I use the bottle up? Yes, I don't want to be wasteful, but I would only use it on days when I was going to the supermarket, not to work or on a night out. Would I recommend it for someone with less lines/wrinkles? Absolutely. For me though it wasn't a home run.

As the title says! The coverage is medium to full on myself. It's a light feel which I like as I can use other products like bronzer etc without it feeling to heavy or cakey. I wore this during the day, while exercising and while out for the night and it stayed on so well. I even accidently slept with it on after a night out - which most likely much to my skins disapproval stayed on very well. I had no breakouts with this and liked the SPF in it which I usually avoid as my skin reacts. Can not fault this product and will continue to purchase.

I was very excited to trial this foundation after reading about it on here - it seemed like the perfect solution to what I’m looking for in a foundation, and it didn’t disappoint! I have oily skin and sometimes suffer from minor blemishes and also dry patches, which proves difficult to deal with on the makeup side of things sometimes.

This foundation has a liquidy consistency with a light floral smell, it is easy to blend in and doesn’t dry down too quickly, offering medium coverage which is easily buildable if you are looking for a fuller coverage foundation. I did need a slight bit of concealer to cover my blemishes but that was to be expected. It dried down with a natural finish, and just as claimed, did not transfer or look cakey. This lasted all day, with only light powder touch ups required in my T-zone where I get the oiliest. So, if you’re looking for a foundation for skin that’s more on the oily side, but if you don’t want a sometimes cakey matte finish, this may just be the one for you! I would definitely repurchase this foundation in the future.

This foundation was good, could've been better but I've had worse. It was nice and lightweight and easy to apply but I found it dried a bit too quickly for me which made it a bit difficult to blend out. Would love if there was a bit more coverage. It lasted throughout the day and was easy to remove which is great.

The product really matches my skin tone and not heavy on the skin. Like this foundation, good coverage and also lasts for a while too.There is a good colour range to pick from and the price is not bad at all.

The product comes in a glass bottle and has a pump, giving you control over the amount disperesed so you're not going to waste any.

This isn't like the other Infallible foundations which I've found would sit in all the wrinkles and crinkles as the day progressed.

The formula of this foundation is quite light, and I found quite a 'runny' consistency. I'd call it more medium coverage than full.

I typically have dry skin, and foundations usually suck the last of any hydration from my skin, except for this one! It's got a lovely dewy natural look when on. I found it felt like a very natural makeup look. It didn't cover or mask my own skin. Through the day it lasted well, and my skin felt and looked hydrated and fresh. It didn't cling to any crinkles or wrinkles and didn't cake on any dry areas. It is buildable if you want a more made up look too. Whether it's sweat proof, I'm not sure - I don't typically wear makeup when I run etc. but it definitely lasts the day with ease. I recommend a Primer underneath too. Helps with wear and hydration, but I'm sure this foundation is awesome on its own too.

Its a fabulous formula for dry/mature skin types. As usual L'Oréal doesn't disappoint with their Infallible range. I really like this foundation and it performs as good as some of the higher priced foundations.

Thanks BR & L'Oréal for the trial opportunity.

I have been using the same brand of foundation for years now, but I will definitely be changing to this product. My skin has an oily t zone but this foundation keeps my skin even and non greasy all day! It has a lovely light feel, very easy to apply and you can build up thinker if desired. I use it under my eyes instead of concealer and it doesn't settle into fine lines! And never looks cakey, it doesn’t oxidise to that awful orange shade after a few hours either like lots of foundations. A really good test of this was applying this at 6am one morning, flying from one end of the country to the other wearing a face mask on the plane, no transfer and it didn’t wear off under my mask. Arrived at destination after flight and a 3 hour drive looking like I had just reapplied my face, it really does last all day without the need to ever touch up. I love it.

This foundation is perfect for building up for a more full coverage look if wanted, or can be used minimally for a light sheet cover. I use about one pump and use sparingly with some liquid bronzer which creates the most perfect lightweight but fresh glowy look. It’s in between dewy and matte and lasts all day long. It doesn’t go patchy which is great. This lasts me all day at work from 8 till 5… and that’s without a setting spray!

I liked this foundation, but did find it a little hard to find a good colour match for my skin.

You only need to use a little bit or it can look a little cakey.

This foundation is definitely out to impress - and to be fair, it seems to meet every claim it makes!

Longwear - absolutely, it lasted my working day and then some. Did I keep it on for 24hours? No, of course not, but I do think it would take you through the day and into the night, no problem.

Lightweight and breathable - YES! It's so light, and layers beautifully whilst remaining light but adding coverage.

Doesn't transfer - nope it does not transfer to clothing nor baby.

Full coverage - YES.

Sweatproof - YES

Non-cakey - absolutely! No cake-face here. At all. Or matte-face. Instead its a more natural, soft glow sort of finish.

I highly recommend this foundation, especially to those of us that need hydration with longevity.
