L’Oréal Infallible 24H Foundation in a powder - True Beige

Beautiful packaging, good quality presentation. Shade wasn't exactly suitable for my skin colour as the shade I requested was out of stock. Glides on easily and relatively good coverage. Does need to be built up though to cover properly. Tends to sit in smaller wrinkles and fine lines leaving it more visable. Did last all day which was great.

This may be great for younger more unlined skin. It sat in my creases. So for me this was a no. I tend to stay away from powders,if that reason. I won't be repurchasing.

I have almost always used liquid foundation. I was very intrigued to see how this product would be different from my usual liquids. The compact is a nice design with a mirror and sponge. I wet the sponge to apply. I found it easy enough to use but found it could cake and wouldn't blend easily sometimes. The cake broke during my first use so I spent subsequent uses trying to make sure it wouldn't all fall out of the compact! It feels lighter and a lot less greasy than a liquid which is great. I found it doesn't transfer as much as liquid but there is still some transfer when touched. It would settle in my pores almost instantly and in my lines too. Overall, I will continue to use it until it's gone but I don't think I will be buying it again.

Thank you for the opportunity to trial this. I found it provided full coverage and was sweat, heat and humidity proof as stated. I work as a casual cook so definitely put it to the test (not to mention hot flashes due to menopause!!) When I removed it at night prior to going to bed there was still a lot of product on my face so I think it would be there the 24hrs if needed. I liked the fact it was quicker to apply than normal liquid foundation and is excellent for touching up during the day if needed. The colour I selected was a good match for my skin. The only negative thing I found was that it did emphasize my under eye lines/wrinkles a little more than an actual liquid foundation does. Overall though, I would definitely purchase this again.

This foundation powder is so good! You can build it up to full coverage or just use a small amount for a lighter coverage. I used it with just a moisturiser/sunscreen underneath and built it up to full coverage and it covered redness and I didn’t even need concealer. I love how you don’t need a seperate foundation and setting powder, it really is an all in one product. But even with it being full coverage, it does not look cakey or like it’s just sitting on the skin. It really blends into the skin really well. It also lasts all day, and I have combination skin and am prone to having an oily T zone. But at the end of the day the foundation was still looking really good and was still covering redness and imperfections! It has a perfect matte finish without looking heavy or dry on the skin. I also tried this product over a BB cream as well, to see if you can use a small amount to set a cream base and it worked for that purpose as well. But I think the best thing about this product is that you literally can use it in the place of liquid foundation, concealer and setting powder, it’s all in one and saved me time putting on my makeup in the morning. So that will be the way that I continue to use this product. I love it and will continue to use it in my everyday makeup routine!

I was really looking forward to trialling this powder, I do not have alot of time in the mornings and need something quick, the fact this powder had foundation in a powder made it sound perfect! When I received it I was really impressed by the compact which came with a sponge and a mirror, smaller than other compacts I have used. When I put the powder on my face I was impressed again, it was easy to apply and seemed to have fairly good coverage. I did do another application of powder as felt it wasnt enough. The colour I had was slightly lighter than I would prefer. The whole process was very quick and I held high hopes the powder would last all day but took the compact with me to work just in case. I checked the coverage at lunchtime and saw that shine had come through and it had faded alot. I had re-apply but when I did re-apply it did not glide over my skin like it had in the morning and was very cakey. It looked awful. Unfortunately for me this product did not grip to my skin to provide an all day matte finish without cakeyness. I usually use revlon colourstay liquid and have gone back to using it as it is far superior to this foundation.

The biggest plus for this product is it's a quick one step process. It's quick to apply and blends really well. The short fall for me though was that when applied this way the finished result was quite powder heavy, especially around the nose area and eye creases. This was amplified however by the shade being a touch too pale and I did find once applying a touch of bronzer by brush over the top it seemed to settle somewhat. I found it did wear well and improved with time as natural oils blended with it, however did need to touch up the nose and chin area later in the day. For me I found this product better applied using a brush over a liquid foundation base. Gave a great finish (especially around the cheeks/forehead). When applied this way there is some waste as the powder tends to lift quite easily so you end up with some falling off the palette, however at this price point it still seems good value for money. The palette itself, I'm not a fan of the mirror being in a lower compartment as difficult to use when applying however the plus with the design is the mirror stayed clean.
