L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Foundation Review

I recently brought this as I love L'Oreal products especially foundations. I have been looking for a matte foundation for a while now as I prefer a matte finish especially in the cooler months so I saw this at farmers and decided to buy it and give it a go.

When I applied this (as when I use all matte foundations) I always apply a primer first so it doesn't dry out my skin. I applied a primer by Moisture Mist first as a base. I then applied the foundation using my flat top kabuki brush. The foundation applies like a dream and glides on my face, the primer helps a lot too. I haven't tried it with out primer as I don't want it to be drying. It lasts all day and all night. The coverage is medium and buildable and the finish is quite flawless which I like. I love how nice this makes my skin look all day long. Its so easy to blend too.

I haven't found a flaw in this foundation. Its easy to apply and easy to remove. It works on my sensitive skin and the coverage is amazing! I recommend giving this a go!

First of all the shade selection is very limited and the undertones are just, I dunno, too strong(?), the pink undertones and VERY pink and the yellow undertones are so yellow they're almost orange. I went with a yellow undertoned as I usually do but unless Im fake tanned I find myself mixing it with another foundation just so I dont look like I just walked out of Willy Wonka's Choc Factory.

The consistency is quite thick and I didn't find it very easy to blend - I had to use about twice as much as I would normally just to get even coverage all over.

The matte finish is nice(not super matte but nice) and it is long lasting (definitely not 24hr though, more like 5-8) but given some places are charging $45 for it - I'd rather spend the extra $30 and get something high end that will last me twice as long.

I bought this as I'd heard so many great things about it - woohoo!! 24 hour foundation?! How could I not?! I spent a lot of time in the shop finding the right colour. I finally picked it and went home to try it on. Except, the colour changed after I put it on. It went very, very orange. Yet, in the store, it was a perfect colour. It was also really uncomfortable to wear, it felt heavy. And I ended up throwing away the bottle after a week or so.

I wanted to try matte foundation after hearing how good a matte finish is. I got my bottle through Trade me because I wanted to get a bargain for this foundation. I'm on a foundation hunt, Im looking for something that I can put on and it could last me all day without fading out. Also wanting to hide my uneven skintone and dark circles. I have seen alot of make up artists online using this and I wanted to find out whether I would like it or not.

This foundation comes in a a sturdy foundation tube. It has the Loreal labelling it looks very current. It comes in a 35ml bottle which isn't very big at all. The colour I got is Honey 30. On the back of the bottle it says its a medium texture with a high coverage. It has an example on the back of this tube of how to apply it. I agree that the texture is medium and it is liquid. No scent at all to.

With application I find it smooth out nicely with both a brush and blender. I like to try both depending on how I feel. This claims its 24 hours. It didnt last me twenty four hours. I did try and test it on several occasions and it did fade out for me. It had a slight powder finish to it after a few hours. Im still searching for my miracle foundation. I think it is highly priced for a drug store brand. I really wanted it to work for me. I definately won't be getting it again. Even though it did'nt work for me it might work for you.

I'm nearly at the end of my first tube of this and I've been really happy with it. I don't need to use powders like I do with other foundations and BB creams I've tried and it says on around my oily t-zone. It also doesn't rub off onto my glasses as bad as others either. The colour match to my skin is pretty spot on as well.

The only negatives I have is - no spf (which in this day and age I find strange) and it doesnt do anything for your skin (such as anti-aging properties etc).

I choose this foundation as a full coverage foundation (even though it says medium on it, it's as full coverage as my previous full coverage foundation). What I was looking for, was something that was long lasting, had good coverage and was paraben free. This foundation ticked all these boxes.

I chose the matte tube over the pump version, because I was a bit over uncooperative pump bottles and I prefer a matte foundation.

I apply with either my fingers or my artiste foundation blurring brush. Both get a good long lasting coverage, but I think the brush does it slightly better.

Overall the foundation doesn't cake and lasts all day, but you do need to set it to keep it in place all day.

The tube it comes in has a fine tipped nozzle at the end which gives controlled amounts of foundation. What I don't like about the tube, is that I can't see how much foundation is left.

I also found all the shades available really similar to each other and they all seemed to be in the light/medium to medium/dark range, they didn't seem to really cater for light or dark skin.

I picked up a tube of Infallible 24H Matte Cover Foundation in the Rewards Vault, in the colour Golden Beige. The tube says, "Shake well before use", but I find it really difficult to shake, as the formula is a thick liquid, sort of a combination between a liquid and a mousse.

The 30ml tube with a thin nozzle is easy to squeeze and the foundation doesn't rush out, which it nice, as it allows me to get the perfect amount each time. At first, I applied this with a foundation brush (over primer), but found that it looked very cakey. The next day I applied it with my fingers and it looked a little better. Over the next few days, I tried various primers under this foundation, yet it still looked patchy and cakey. The mattifying effect only lasted about four hours before my face started to get oily and very shiny, and the foundation started to 'slip', gather in creases under my eyes, and transfers horribly if I accidentally touch my face.

I can't see any SPF listed anywhere, and I do like my foundation to contain SPF. I definitely wouldn't call this foundation infallible, and I definitely didn't get 24 hours of matte coverage, only three to four hours. Sadly, this foundation is a no from me. I will not be recommending it or repurchasing it. I do have the L'Oreal Infallible 24H Fresher Liquid Foundation, which I will be comparing this to.

This foundation comes in an easy to apply, black tube. I was very disappointed with the limited colour range that L’Oreal offered. The undertones of these foundations are wrong, which makes it extremely difficult to colour match to your skin tone. This foundation applied smoothly to the skin and provided a full coverage. I did like the matte finish. However, this foundation caused my skin to break out, like major! I usually have one or two pimples, and currently my skin is covered in pimples and redness. For the price I paid, I expected more. I won’t be repurchasing this foundation
