This foundation is most certainly light weight, but I don't think its full coverage. I applied to half of my face and asked my partner to point out which side had make up (he's usually on point when I do this) but he couldn't tell me. It definitely clung to my dry patches of skin and made it obvious I had applied foundation but overall was a light coverage. I will give it the benefit of withstanding a session at the gym and still looking nice through out the day but don't think I'll be chomping at the bit to purchase it in the future. Great for the days you just want a fresh look. The smell of the product is a little off putting like a heavily scented soap that I've noticed all the infallible range has. So if you're sensitive to smells it might not be for you as the scent lingers for a while.

An alright full coverage foundation, lasts all day but after a day of wear there is creasing unfortunately. Patchy and flaky in places too. I won't buy this again unfortunately
This foundation was good, could've been better but I've had worse. It was nice and lightweight and easy to apply but I found it dried a bit too quickly for me which made it a bit difficult to blend out. Would love if there was a bit more coverage. It lasted throughout the day and was easy to remove which is great.
This foundation did what it said it would do. It is lightweight and does not transfer. It goes a long way and gives you coverage but i would say not a full coverage. I loved how light it was and actually lasted on my skin a long time. I didnt particularly like how runny it was and had to use 2 lots. It also made my skin slightly more dry. A fantastic product but for my skin which needs thicker coverage due to pigmentation it probably wasnt the best choice.
Coverage was great and definitely stayed on for the whole day. I would not recommend for mature skin because it makes wrinkles more noticeable. Also made my skin dry. Found it difficult to find a colour that matched my skin colour. Would still recommend but for more younger, more oily skin.
Tips: A base is a must so a moisturizer or primer
It's not often you can find a full coverage foundation that feels lightweight on the skin but that's exactly how this foundation performs. You can easily layer it and by the second layer I had a full coverage base that still looks like skin. Longevity wise it has lasted me all day without any touch ups. All of my other products apply easily on top including both cream and powders.
Tips: I did get slightly oily through my tzone by the end of the day but this was easily fixed by adding a touch of powder. The foundation performs well with both a beauty blender and a brush. I use a brush for a fuller coverage and a beauty blender when I wanted to sheer out the foundation more. I did find that it clung to some dry acne spots I had, so if you have dry patches you may want to apply a more hydrating primer to minimise this.
I was looking forward to trying this foundation as I'm always looking for an affordable alternative to my more luxury favourites. This one I liked, but I don't see it becoming my most reached for foundation.
I love the packaging - the glass bottle and pump has a luxe feeling about it, and the pump gives just the right amount (one small pump) for my face and its needs.
The foundation is very liquidy and spreads easily. I've tried using this with a brush and a sponge and I find a brush works best - for some reason using a sponge made the foundation look funny on my face. The coverage was great and easily buildable where I needed it most and I found it lasted well throughout the day without becoming oily or breaking up.
What I don't love about this foundation is the application - even with a brush it wasn't as easy as other foundations I have used, and also it sat funny on my forehead and emphasised the pores/lines there, which my other foundations didn't do.
Will I use the bottle up? Yes, I don't want to be wasteful, but I would only use it on days when I was going to the supermarket, not to work or on a night out. Would I recommend it for someone with less lines/wrinkles? Absolutely. For me though it wasn't a home run.
Tips: Use a brush to apply!
L’Oreal Paris Infallible Freshwear Liquid Foundation is a light, creamy foundation, but don’t be fooled; a little goes a long way. The pump dispenser is easy to use and fuss-free. One gentle pump is enough.
I tried this with a slightly damp sponge blender initially, with a petit poi-sized amount of the foundation, which was far too much, resulting in clogged-looking pores and a very unnatural finish. Hasty removal of the excess was easy and effective, thank goodness.
My second attempt with clean fingertips, gently tapping a small amount of foundation on to face resulted in fresh and light coverage, and a natural look. My third try, with a different makeup applicator, worked well and was as effective as fingertips.
There is no noticeable fragrance, so sensitive skins will remain calm on this front.
This foundation stays on, even throughout an active day. My skin feels moisturized and protected without feeling like I’m wearing a mask. Removal and cleansing is fast and easy too.
It will be economical to use, given the ample coverage provided with a very small amount.
Overall, L’Oreal Paris Infallible Freshwear Liquid Foundation is well packaged, with an appealing design, and very functional access, which results in fast and easy application, and infallible, freshwear results. I’ll definitely be recommending this product to friends who simply cannot face the day without their foundation on.
Tips: Use sparingly, and apply with a damp blender.
I liked this foundation, but did find it a little hard to find a good colour match for my skin.
You only need to use a little bit or it can look a little cakey.
Tips: I use it sparingly, applying with a damp blender.
This foundation started the day great. Applying it to my face it felt silky and smooth. It sat nicely on my skin and gave great coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. I have bright red patches on my face that tend to shine through most foundations, but this didn't happen when I first applied in the morning.
However... by lunch time this had all changed. I looked in the mirror and noticed my face was starting to look really patchy and starting to turn orange. I reapplied, but again it started to look horrible after about 4 hours.
I used this foundation for 4 days with different primers, setting sprays, translucent powders and still ended up with a patchy, dusty looking face by lunch time. I also began noticing a lot more clusters of breakouts since starting to use this foundation, especially around my nose and along my jawline.
Pros: - really nice consistency - no weird chemical smell - great coverage when first applying - 2 pumps did my whole face and neck - non-greasy formula
Cons: - not long lasting AT ALL for me - caused more breakouts than expected - pretty pricey considering the length of time it stayed on my skin looking nice
Tips: A little goes a long way. I got the most wear from this using Rimmel Lasting Finish primer and UD All Nighter setting spray.
