Infallible Infallible 32hr Freshwear Foundation - 130

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great foundation. Very affordable. Gives excellent coverage and really does last for 24 hours. Doesn't come off on clothes either.

Not sure why the formula keeps changing.. everytime it does its disappointing. The latest version doesnt hold on skin as well as the last

One of my favourite foundations because it lasts so well during the day and doesn't rub off easily at all.  It's great for going shopping for clothes because it doesn't smear off like most other foundations I've used.  It's also great because it has a very wearable colour range and there is one that suits my skin colour really well so that it looks natural on me too.  It has a good medium coverage.  The pump-top is a good quality one and that makes it easy to dispense just the right amount that I desire to use.\n\nIt's not scented and smooths on easily onto the skin.  I don't feel the need to even have to use a primer with this because of it's smooth formula and built-in long-lastability.   I have a few bigger pores on my cheeks near my nose and this formula helps to disguise them and my pigmentation is also disguised well.  \n\nI think lots of different age groups would appreciate this quality formula foundation and it does live up to it's name 'infallible'.  I have combination oily skin and have some dry skin and ageing skin issues too.  This foundation formula copes well with all my skin types hence I could recommend this to all different skin types.  \n

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Go-to foundation, good coverage but weightless on skin

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Liquid Foundation is a fantastic foundation at an equally fantastic price point.  I have ageing dry/combination skin and find that this foundation does not sink into fine lines and pores (;ro tip: always use a good setting powder!) but rather provides a long lasting canvas that withstands the rigours of long shifts at work. I always seem to find my way back to this foundation after using other products - it seems to be like a gold standard for comparison for me when it comes to affordable, drug store brands.  \n\nI have tried applying with a beauty blender and stippling in with a kabuki brush.  Both provide good coverage - I find the brush is better during the day and the beauty blender for night time application.  With this foujdation I don't find much difference between using it with and without a primer but I think that's more a reference to my skin type than the product itself.  \n\nMy only issue with this foundation is the lack of shade range.  Although I have found one that is a pretty good match for my skin, it's still note "quite right" and I'd love to see more options available - particularly in the lighter, golden shades.  Hopefully this will happen in the future.\n\nIf you can find a good shade that suits you please do give this foundation a go.  I think you (and your purse) might be pleasantly surprised!\n

I am really happy I tried this foundation, it works really well for me and I have found it is one of the better drugstore foundation I have found recently.\n \nThis is a light-medium coverage foundation, with a slightly dewy finish to it. It has a smooth application and is easy to blend leaving you with glowing, healthy, natural looking skin. This product is great at evening out my skin tone, though if I need to cover any blemishes I have to apply a second coat and concealer. This is slightly buildable, to a medium coverage anyway, as it is not too heavy so I find it does not become cakey on my face. When you are applying the product there is a slight scent to it but nothing strong and it disappears immediately after application.\n \nThis foundation does give a slightly dewy finish but I feel it would be good for people with combo-oily skin as I found no shine or greasiness after wearing it throughout the day and it gives your skin a natural dewiness to it without looking oily. I did find that it did catch slightly on any dry areas on my skin, particularly around my nose, which from a distance wasn't noticeable but I could see it when looking in a mirror.\n \nThis product has a decent staying power and would last all day, for around 8-9 hours, however, it does oxidise slightly after a few hours. It also did not become patchy or flaky throughout the day at all.\n \nI would definitely recommend this product as it is one of my favourites at the moment, especially for people with normal, combo or oily skin complexions as it will give a natural look throughout the day.\n

A reasonable everyday liquid foundation that gives medium coverage, and is not too expensive. I find this foundation definitely starts to set fairly quickly so you have make sure that you're blending it in one section at a time, otherwise your complexion can look streaky, uneven and cakey. I have combination to slightly oily skin so I don't find this foundation too matte for my skin type, however it may be too drying for other skin types and may not be suitable for drier more mature skin as it can settle into fine lines and make them look more obvious. I find that it is quite long-lasting and stays put for most of the day, with very few touch-ups required during the day. However I do find that my skin does start to look shiny and this foundation tends to slide off after about 8 hours, so it's definitely not as long-wearing as it claims to be! It feels comfortable and natural on my skin and it doesn't look or feel heavy, greasy or thick. It has more of a satin finish on my complexion and is therefore not completely matte which adds a healthy glow. It does however tend to emphasise my pores slightly and definitely oxidizes by the end of the day, so my complexion tends to look slightly orange! I definitely recommend using a hydrating moisturiser and a good primer before applying this foundation to help create a smoother, more natural application. I also find that it's a lot easier to apply with a good quality foundation brush or makeup sponge, as it can be slightly difficult to blend in hot, humid weather.\n\nPros:\nFairly inexpensive and affordable\nProvides long-lasting coverage and wear for most of the day\nDoes not cause breakouts or acne\nProvides natural, medium coverage \nProvides some UV protection\n\nCons:\nVery limited and slightly unnatural looking range of shades (particularly if you have fair/light skin)\nTends to sink into and emphasise pores, making them more visible\nCan oxidise and turn complexion slightly orange; especially if you have oily skin\nSlightly more satin than matte finish\nDries quickly therefore need to blend and work quickly\n\nRepurchase: No\n\n  \n
