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

I really like L’Oréal Infallible 24H Foundation in a powder! When I havr a busy day, I usually have to retouch my make up since wearing mask on and off smudge them a lot. Since using L’Oréal Infallible 24H Foundation in a powder, I notice that I don’t have to retouch my make up, only my lipsticks which I don’t mind.

I am just so amazed that a powder could do such a great job. I still cannot believe, I can do my makeup so quickly with the help of L’Oréal Infallible 24H Foundation in a powder. Firstly, starting with the outer appearance, it comes in a nice powder foundation box. I used my regular powder puff to apply it.

I was actually surprised when I just did the first glide of my puff on the foundation, it felt so smooth like a silk. With other powders, I actually have to swipe a lot of times to get the product on puff.

I just wanted to check the shade on my skin when I received the product so I did not even prepare my skin before applying the foundation powder. My face was not freshly washed and moisturized and I just applied the L’Oréal Infallible Powder Foundation all over my face. I was so super surprised on the instant fresh look I got within seconds.

It was like a magic to me that I did not have to apply foundation, make it settle in the skin, look for more uncovered areas and reapply the product. It was just so instant that I got good coverage, fresh looking skin yet so natural.

I am so glad that I don't have to spend a lot of time on my foundation anymore. That's the basic step that has to be perfect before going ahead with the rest of products.

I used it again on freshly washed and moisturized face and it gave a more enhanced result.

Thanks L’Oréal for coming up with such great product for people like me who would not like to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror each morning.

This foundation did not made my skin dry or flaky nor did it made my face looking cakey. Instead, it gave me a fresh and glowy look which I never experienced with my regular foundations.

I am happy that I will save my money and energy on experminenting any further.

I was intrigued to try a powder foundation and found this smoothed on my skin nicely and it hid all the blemishes well without feeling heavy. It’s packaging is basic, this does help to see the colour you are after and has an applicator. Slightly scented, not noticeable once applied. It was long lasting, got me through a work day in a hot coffee shop. Price wise seemed reasonable for a quality product. I would choose a darker shade next time as it was slightly off but this is no fault of the product. L’Oréal doesn’t disappoint and I would recommend you give a foundation in a powder a try.

Ok I am a pretty big user of L'Oreal products, have used heaps in the past and still use other products.

This is the first foundation in a powder I have tried - I was excited to try this as my skin is starting to age and needs full coverage that lasts, so thought this would be great! Unfortunately (don't you love that word?), I did not like this foundation at all :(

The packaging colour I liked, I don't like the plastic, not sure how earth friendly it is? The compact is a good size and has a separate flip with the sponge and a pretty good mirror.

The foundation felt really nice when I ran my finger over it, really soft. I really wasn't sure the best way to apply (I normally use a cake foundation with a brush), so I tried my brush but it was terrible and the powder went everywhere. I then tried using the sponge which I dampened a little first. Not great at all - maybe it was my skin (I have old burn scarring around my chin), but I applied a bit and it didn't really cover that well, so I tried going over it again and it just wiped off the first layer I had put on.

I'm really bummed as I really wanted this to work for me, it's hard to get a good foundation, but I just couldn't get this to work the way I wanted for my skin.

So won't be purchasing this in the future and have given the compact to my sister to try :)

So I tried the foundation in true beige colour which may have been a tad light for my coloring. Firstly I tried it using the sponge applicator that comes in the compact and found it looked too light for my skin and I thought it highlighted the fine lines and creases on my face HOWEVER when I applied it using a powder brush, it had quite a different appearance on my skin and didn't seem to light and didn't accentuate the lines on my face. I'm not sure why this made a big difference... maybe I was using too much on the sponge but a brush is definitely my preference for application. This powder lasted all day on my skin even after a heavy, sweaty gym session. Easy to apply and longlasting. At around $40 this powder is good value as would last a few months.

The first time I used it (using the sponge that's included in the packaging), the powder crumbled and left a mess on my sink. Then I made a mistake of carrying it in my handbag, thinking it would be safer than carrying a liquid foundation. I was wrong. Powder crumbs everywhere! I tried doing touch up in the car, crumbs extravaganza again. Then the next time I used it, the whole "cake" of powder literally dislodged out of the packaging! I managed to catch it and stuck it back in. Every single time I used it, it crumbled more. By now you should know that the faulty/badly designed packaging isn't my favourite part of this foundation. Messier than using a liquid foundation. I tried using isopropyl alcohol to fix it, but unfortunately it isn't fixable.

Does it fulfill the claims though?

- Covers and lasts like a liquid foundation: actually yes, it does. A single swipe covers a multitude of uneven skin. A gentle swipe has given enough coverage for my panda eyes. Unfortunately it refused to work long on my T-zone.

- Mattifies with no cakeyness: mostly yes to mattifying, but it turned mottled pretty quickly on my T-zone when applied using the sponge. Makes my skin looks like tree barks. It doesn't like the moisturiser/toner/both that I used. Grabbed anything and everything that I used on my face. The powder produced better results when used with a powder brush. Either way, T-zone gets shiny after much less than 2 hours.

- Sweat-proof: no idea as my face didn't normally get sweaty.

- Heat & humidity proof: not for T-zone.

- Full coverage: again, not for my T-zone.

I'm a bit sad, as the shade 130 True Beige is perfect for me. I also like the look of the packaging and the cute mirror in it. But it's way too much efforts for me to apply it, much longer than applying a liquid foundation. A great idea, if only they could make a formula that's more portable and less crumbly!

A lovely compact comes with a sponge and mirror. I have always applied my powder foundation with a brush so it felt quite different applying with the sponge. It applies quite full coverage Matt. It feels lightweight but found it a little cakey on my skin. Settled into fine lines and became a bit shiny by the end of the day. It was ok but not the best I have tried,

I was impressed after receiving this and couldn’t wait to try it out. The case is just gorgeous and stylish with the red and silver.

The little case has a sponge for applying underneath where the foundation is- so cute!

The foundation was the exact skin match for me. The formula was really nice and light. My skin looked lovely and flawless. I’m normally a liquid foundation user, so this was a really good change!

I liked the look of my skin using this. No issues with my sensitive skin and covered imperfections. Didn’t stay as well as my normal foundation. But felt so nice on my skin and made my skin look healthy and so much better.

Overall I’m impressed with this foundation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
