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

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 was super excited to try this powder foundation but unfortunately I found it didn’t last very long on my skin. Perhaps a powder foundation is just not for me as I am normally a liquid foundation wearer. The coverage when I first put it on was good and I loved the feel of it on my skin. It did seem to disappear from my high colour areas of my cheeks and nose within a couple of hours leaving a slightly blotchy finish. I will keep using it though as it may be me learning to apply it in a slightly different way

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.

The first couple of days I wore this blended over my whole face. Its definitley full coverage (a plus for me) and VERY mattifying. It was also long wearing and didnt rub off too much under my mask that I wear at the office. I thought my skin looked very 'tired' and dehydrated by the end of the day. So, on the third day, I applied it with the sponge dampened and it was a better result...smooth skin, no cakeyness...a consistency that better suited my skin.

I have been on the hunt for a high quality, easy accessible and affordable powder for quite sometime. I think I have finally found it in this product.

This definitely gives medium to full coverage without the heaviness and cakiness (is that even a word).

This powder is long wearing and you won’t find yourself needing touch ups throughout the day.

I love that whilst wearing this your skin still feels like skin and looks smooth.

I find you get a heavier application with the sponge so if you’re wanting a lighter application I’d suggest using a powder brush.

The compact isn’t bulky so fits nicely into the makeup bag or handbag. Excellent to travel with.

I didn’t find there to be any scent in the powder which was great and this did not cause any breakouts.

All in all this is a great product and compares well with my other high end powder foundations.

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.

I was very curious to see how this worked, as it sounded great and I love L'Oreal products.

Firstly, it comes in a snappy little compact. The top just lifts up and the product is hard underneath, as you'd expect in a pressed powder. It has a nice smell in the compact that I cannot smell on my skin.

I haven't been using foundation lately and not much else either, due to masks etc, but it has been nice to glam up a bit. And I didn't think trying something heavy on my skin would feel good either, mostly because I have mature skin and do worry about caking with heavier products.

I started by trying the product dry - just patting it on as a powder with a dry beauty blender. It was ok, but I really felt like it needed something under it. Since then I have been applying it with a damp sponge, and it is great. Not too heavy, not too light, and a lovely even coverage. It evens out my skin tone and covers my mild but annoying small red patches, and doesn't irritate my sensitive areas. I don't need concealer either. It just leaves a nice, even, matte finish. I can't think of anything at all negative to say about it.

The shade I got is True Beige and it is ideal for my pale skin tone. It lasts very well, and I can't tell any difference at the end of my working day from when I'd applied it in the morning. Which is of course a huge advantage over the BB cream or tinted moisturiser that I usually use.

I'm very impressed with it, especially as it gives such an even tone without being a heavy product or needing to layered thickly.

Its definitely worth a try and I highly recommend it.

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.

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.
