L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Cover - GOLDEN BEIGE

I am a big fan of L’Oréal’s infallible foundation range, with the matte finish probably being my favourite.

The foundation comes in a tube and most of the time only squeezes the amount of product you want (at the end of the tube it becomes a little more unpredictable).

The foundation is full coverage, lasts well, doesn’t pill or oxidise and has a nice feel, smell and consistency.

I would wear this foundation all day, but it would need redoing if I was going out for the evening.

The matte finish on this one is pretty neutral. The first mattifying foundation they did I feel provided a more matte effect, but this one still gives a matte finish in comparison to non-matte foundations.

I also like that when I was looking for my shade they had foundations that worked with both more yellow and red skin tones.

Woah if you're wanting matte foundation go with this one for sure. The only downside is that after a while I can see dry patches around my nose and underneath nostrils. I have to use moisturizer on top which then mixes with the foundation but eventually dries down again. Apart from that it's good.

A little bit goes a long long way with this product boy oh boy! Less is definitley more! The colour chart for selecting the shade itself was misleading I think in person having testers at the stand will be a huge advantage for first time buyers wanting to try this product

I think the product was a bit too light for me which is ironic as this girl is WHITTE. However nothing that some bronzer couldn't fix. The foundations consistency is quite thick and doesnt have any unpleasent fragrances.

It definitley provided a matte finish as promised for those wanting no shine this foundation delivers. I wish the product was in a bottle with a pump- this ensures better value for money and of course hygeine. The product had a more yelloe tone vs the pinky look of the colour swatches.

The foundation lasted all day however if you suffer from a drier skin I would definitley recommend using a primer. I found the product caked up on my nose throughout the day.

Definitley a foundation for people who like the feel of wearing full coverage- really good product for baking and building up a smooth canvas.

Definitley use a make up sponge to apply vs a brush!

I enjoyed this trial so much, thank you so much BR!

I've previously avoid matte products as I find them too drying on my skin, and also they tend to sink into my fine lines.

This product is, if you can imagine it...a moisturising matte foundation! I used this with and without primer, it was easy to apply and went on smooth and even both ways. I found the product layered well, without caking.

The finish was natural but full. I didn't feel like I was wearing stage makeup, but I did feel that my base was flawless and all imperfections were hidden.

It didn't smudge onto clothing but was easy to take off with my cleansing balm.

I couldn't test the 24 hour claim, because I'm not 19 any more, but I am happy with how it performed during a long work day!

I think this is a great product and would highly recommend.

This foundation is definitely lightweight, buildable and matte. It did feel really natural on the skin even with being full coverage. The formula is thin-ish and a little goes a long way, I found one layer was enough for most of my face and only needed a second layer in troubled, acne areas. I tried with both a brush and a beauty blender and both went on effortlessly.

I wore the foundation, set with a powder, for a max of 10 hours and it still looked really good. So if you are looking for a long wearing product this is for you!

The packaging is sleek and easy to use. The pointed nozzle means I'm not getting it everywhere so less waste and mess.

Looking forward to continuing to use this foundation and will most likely repurchase.

I don't want to write this foundation off because it could be a primer issue, or skin issue but I didn't have much luck with this foundation. Before I had even set it, it had split on my nose and under my eyes, after finishing my make up it started wearing off in my forehead wrinkles, and it was really obvious. The coverage was great, I definitely can't flaw it on that. It was easy to colour match, I was concerned I hadn't picked right but it was spot on. It was easy to apply, and blend. Maybe it wasn't the right product for my skin, I'm going to try with a new primer and see if that makes a difference.

If your looking for a foundation you can apply at the start of the day and not have to touch up throughout the day this is the foundation for you. I absolutely loved trialling this foundation. It’s super lightweight liquid was easy to apply and went on smoothly and evenly. Once on it gave my face a even matte look that stayed put all day. As a nurse I was not sitting still and this foundation never went oily or flakey.

I have a dry/combination skin type and this foundation was sadly not quite right for me. I found that straight after application, my skin got extremely dry and was flaking at my nose, my forehead and looking quite caky as well. I had applied moisturiser and primer before and had lightly set it with powder. I tried again with no primer, moisturiser and powder but got the same results. I wanted to give it a fair try so I tried it with just primer as well. This definitely worked the best of the three applications. I wouldn’t use again just because it doesn’t work with my skin type but for someone with normal or oily skin it would work a lot better.

I had the absolute pleasure of trialling this foundation. I had selected the colour 115 ‘Golden Beige’. I thought this colour would be a good match but was surprised to find it a couple of shades lighter than I expected (I am NW15 MAC). The product size is the standard 30ml and comes in an easy to apply squeeze bottle. The perfect size and weight for your makeup bag! I applied with and without a primer and found it applied beautifully either way, with a primer it did apply smoother and my pores were less visible. It blended super easily with both a beauty blender and foundation brush and a little product goes a long way making this a long lasting foundation. Dries to a silky matte finish. It sat very well on my fine lines around my eyes and mouth and as the day wore on it did come off around my chin and mouth areas but didn’t seem to settle in my fine lines. It didn’t cling to my dry patches and healing zits too so big plusses there! I would not say it lives up to its 24 hour name though as at the 6 hour mark I was ready for a touch up (in saying that I wore this on some of the hottest days of the year) I did set with powder and a setting spray on a couple of days to test the staying power this way and it definitely helps. It didn’t even look caked on with a setting powder! Overall this has to be one of the best matte foundations I have worn in terms of the smooth natural finish. Great for special occasions and times where you aren’t going to get super hot and sweaty. Sorry for the novel!!! Lol!
