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

This is a nice foundation, I love that it comes in a great heavy case complete with sponge and mirror in separate compartments. On first use I did find it a bit cakey but it might have been because my shade was slightly too pale for me. Once I warmed it up though with a bronzer and some contour it looked more natural. I wear this over a BB cream and it swipes on nicely. I did find from the start of the day to lunchtime it had changed for the better as my natural oils came through and it had a more of a dewy finish that I liked. I’m not sure I’d agree it was 24h wear if you have combination skin like me and I did find it settled slightly into my forehead lines and was a little visible on my dry patches. While it says the formula is matte I did feel I still had to do an oil blot with a tissue after about 6 hours but that’s normal for me. At 5pm I think it still looked great, covered blemishes and still had a nice base. My normal pressed powder is by Australis and this L’Oreal one is so much better at resisting transfer as I hardly got any on my face mask or marks when I had a white T shirt day. I’d repurchase this one for sure purely for the transfer resistance.

The infallible compact itself was pleasant to look at and easy to use. The large mirror was a nice touch. The product applied easily with the sponge, and felt soft and smooth to glide onto the face. I found the coverage was sufficient and could build with another application - it felt light and breathable. It did last for the day without becoming greasy or wearing off but the finish was a little chalky for my liking.

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.

I’m not a huge fan of powders normally, I have slightly drier skin. But this powder provided me with great coverage without leaving my skin cakey or dry-looking. I’ve taken to wearing it way more than I expected too, and often all on its own! Highly recommend.

The coverage on this for a powder was insane! I could have bet money from the finish that this would have to come from a liquid. The finish was next to flawless and it wore really well. I wore it on a warmer Dunedin day last week and still felt like my skin could breathe. The matte finish was the final selling point ot left my skin looking smooth and clear with no hint of shine.

Firstly, the packaging - I am super impressed! It's small and discreet, yet has room for a mirror AND a sponge. The product is compact and is perfect to thrown in your handbag to carry around for touch ups. The product itself is silky smooth and it's definitely on the higher coverage side of things (for a powder). Whilst I didn't wear it for 24 hours, it's definitely long wearing. Most powders seem to fall off on my skin, so I was happy to see this one still on my face at the end of the day. It worked well on its own (which is what I wanted it for) as well as on top of a liquid foundation to set. I have normal-dry skin and sometimes powders can accentuate the dry patches, but this powder didn't do that at all. When I say it's silky smooth, its SILKY smooth! This is a great all round powder, with a longer wear time than most - I recommend it!

This is a game changer. To have an all in one foundation and powder in a slim compact that fits in your purse is wonderful. When I first used it I thought oh no I look like a ghost but when I look again it seemed to sink in and blend beautifully. I cant say what it would look like in 24 hrs but it certainly still looked great after 14 hours. My skin actually seemed to have a subtle glow as opposed to a shine. I would purchase it again.

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.

The powder format is very, chalky. It's sort of like wet chalk. Which when you first go to use it a bit strange. It's not like a mineral powder foundation where you're able to amass a bit of product on the brush, you kind of have to work to get the product onto the sponge.

Once it's on the sponge its pretty easy to apply, but it can take a firm hand to blend through, and it does seem to take a long time to do that, which is a bit of a PITA.

It does last though - I mean my days of partying 24hours are over, but it lasts a full working day, in heat, no dramas. The finish is beautifully matte and the texture on the skin is light.

It's a good foundation, it just takes a bit of getting used to.
