Light as a feather foundation!

The first thing I noticed about this foundation was how 'liquid' the formula is. I'm used to something heavier that squeezes out as a thicker blob than this one. That is not to say that it was messy or runny- just different to what I'm used to!

I followed the instructions and dotted it onto my skin before 'rolling' it in. I was immediately impressed by how smoothly it went on. There was no hassle in blending it in, no brushes or sponges required here. This is the kind of foundation that you want around on a morning when you'e in a rush. Or for that matter, anytime really that you don't want to have overly 'work' the foundation in for an even finish.

I chose the shade 202 creamy natural which is cool toned and matches the swatch diagram well. If anything, it's slightly lighter than my skin in person but an in-store tester would have quickly solved that!

The coverage is described as medium and radiant. I found it to be on the lighter side. Medium to me suggests that it will cover most imperfections in your complexion, but not all. I still went in with a few touches of concealer after the foundation for the small red marks that were left behind- pesky things! As mentioned earlier though, the coverage is perfectly even and smooth. My skin fits the 'normal to dry' profile and there were no issues with it drying out my skin. The radiance is there, I applied over sunscreen, and was left with a dewy glow- perfect! Not too shiny but not at all matte.

Overall, this is great if you're looking for an easy-to-apply, daily use foundation. It's not an option for those looking for a full coverage foundation but that's not what it sets out to do!

Tips: Applying with fingers works well. Shade test in person if possible!

Classic ivory

I was so looking forward to the arrival of this product ,it’s so hard to choose a new foundation in the shops and I often end up with one that just isn’t right for me .

I love loreal products in general so was hoping it lived up to my expectations . And wow it exceeded them .

Certainly ticks all my boxes .,and why I’ve rated it so high .

I loved the size of the tube ,so easy to slip into your handbag . It’s a lovely thin liquid ,not thick and glucky ,so easy to apply . At first I thought the colour might be a little light even for my pale complexion ,but that wasn’t the case ,once I blended it ,it was actually the best match I’ve ever found for my skin tone .

And yes it did give my skin a nice healthy glow to it .coverage was listed as moderate ,however it covered all my imperfections just fine .

I am very impressed with this foundation and have decided to change from my existing one .

Price wise it is reasonable too ,I’ve yet to see how it wears during the day ,but I can come back and let you know . I would highly recommend this to all my female friends and family . It is a must have for me . Thank you for this opportunity ,it had allowed me to finally find the right foundation for me .

I also love it has a SPF factor a plus In my books .

Tips: I found you don’t actually need a lot to get good coverage ,as it glides on and blends in very well ,so use it sparingly .

I found the foundation lasted as well as any other ,maybe a little longer ,my problem areas, my chin with broken veins needed a touch up ,but does with any foundation I use .

Initially I thought there was a glow to my skin but found that it doesn’t seem to be the foundation ,maybe lots of moisturiser underneath ,I feel it should add more of a glow as that what it states ,probably my only dissatisfaction of the product

I liked the coverage too - it evens out my complexion very well.

I was surprised at the level of coverage ,as I have redness in places ,a few age spots and broken veins ,it did a good job making my skin almost look flawless .

Also like to add shake the tube well before each application . I found the foundation stayed on as well as any of my others . When first applied it was very pale,I looked white ,but it tends to change ,after a few minutes .has yellowish tonings.

Love that glow!

I applied this foundation using F80 kabuki brush. It’s not the perfect shade for me but the product was very easy to blend, and gave me a medium coverage on one application. The consistency is quite runny, watery. The ‘glow’ this foundation gave is very nice and natural. I love a good glow and this foundation will make you glow all over .

I have combination skin with some dry patches on some parts of my face - this foundation did not accentuate the dry patches at all.

The past couple of days were very humid and I wore this foundation to work -a total of 10 hours , my blush/bronzer remained intact. I was sweating on and off (not heavily) but the foundation did not melt. I didn’t get shiny either.

Very lightweight, I did not feel that I have foundation on my face but when I touch my face, the foundation felt a bit tacky on my hand.

Con: limited shade range available in New Zealand unlike the Loreal true match.

Tips: A little goes a long way

Creamy Natural Glow

This product comes in a no-nonsense plastic tube. Simple, with a black screw top. On the back it describes which finish, wear time, coverage and texture relate to that product, which is very helpful if you’re looking at the range in a store. I didn’t read it before I tried the product (you don’t consult the map until you’re lost, right?). If I had, I would’ve noticed it said ‘radiant finish, 24 hours wear, medium coverage, and air-light texture’. And I would’ve been very happy with those claims.

So, the product colour I chose is creamy natural, which is ideal for my skin tone, which is light/medium, my skin type which is dry, and my complexion which is uneven but not overly so. It is kind-of pale brown and you can see it through the tube. The product is surprisingly thin. As I was applying it I was struck by how light it is and how much like CC cream the finish is. I use CC cream and usually tinted foundation every day, as I like to keep things as light as possible and that combination works well. I do use foundation for various occasions though. And I do sometimes just use CC cream if I’m not going too far that day. I found that this foundation covers both CC cream and tinted foundation in one so I can use it alone. The coverage isn’t heavy, so wouldn’t cover a lot of major blemishes, but that’s fine by me as it is perfectly able to cover my skin imperfections. I dot it on my face, as recommended on the pack, and roll it around with my beauty blender, for a smooth finish.The finish is radiant, as per the product claim.

I would say this foundation is ideal for anyone to use, but may be particularly suitable for young skin that doesn’t require heavy coverage, and mature skin that often looks unnatural under heavy foundation. But having said that, it really is ideal for anyone who likes or requires a light to moderate coverage and who likes the finish of a face that started with CC cream.

It lasts me all day at work, so 7am until 5.30pm, but I wash my face when I get home so don’t know how much longer it would last. It is as easily removed as any other foundation. I use a cleanser and wipes and it doesn’t leave any trace on my skin.

Another positive is that it is SPF15 rather than no SPF which is usual for the products I normally use. I really like it!

$40 is certainly a fair price for this product. I’ve found some great foundations via BR over the years, but this one is amongst the best for my skin colour and type, because of its lightness and the ‘CC’effect. I highly recommend it.

Tips: Apply to clean, moisturised, skin with a beauty blender and blend blend blend for a radiant smooth finish.

I LOVE THIS

This is one of my new favourite foundations, I have very dry skin so dewy/ glowy foundations are great for me. I don't like superrr full coverage but I also don't like being able to see all my redness and this foundation covered everything perfectly without looking cakey or too full coverage! It wore throughout the day quite nicely I wouldn't recommend to girls with oily skin as I can see it getting quite oily throughout the day but for me with dry skin, this works wonders. I personally think the colour range is okay, they could obviously have more available for girls in New Zealand as to my knowledge there is only 6 shades available which is not much. If you have normal or dry skin I definitely think give this foundation a go it is perfect for girls who don't like super full coverage but also don't like sheer - no coverage foundations, for me it is the perfect amount of coverage and that is why I love it so much!

Tips: if you have oily skin and want to try this, use a lot of setting powder as naturally, it is a dewy foundation and if you have oily skin it might slide around a bit more :)

Classic ivory

I really loved the colour it was perfect for my skin and it didn't seem to make me look pink like some foundations tend to do. A little definitely goes a long way I used a beauty blender and my fingers to apply and it looked quite nice not Cakey at all! It gave my skin a nice finish and it was very buildable. I loved the coverage no need for concealer! I found it lasted all day but not around my chin and on top of my nose. But it is definitely a new favourite

Tips: I think either using a primer or setting it would help it stay on the nose and chin.

Lovely lightweight foundation!

My first thoughts when applying this foundation was, I was surprised at how liquidy and lightweight it was! It felt like a little could go a long way and it was super buildable where it wouldn’t go cakey. It spread and applied nicely and didn’t go streaky at all. The finish was really nice and glowy without looking greasy, a nice luminousity to the skin and my skin did look good. In terms of wear I felt it didn’t last as long as it said it would, I’m not too bothered by it because I’ll only wear this foundation for shorter periods of time instead. But possibly disappointing for those who would want it to last like it says it does. The areas it came off are the usual areas-nose and chin, I am normally oilier leading up to my time of the month so I will be interested to try it when my skins back to normal. Because of its lightweight texture it was a dream to take off! From normally where I have to really rub my foundation with miceller water on a cotton pad this came off with a swipe! All in all I’ll definitely be using this foundation again and did enjoy using it as well!

Tips: A little goes a long way and the formula is quite watery so start with small amounts!

Dewy Skin Dream!

If you are someone who loves a full coverage matte finish, then this is NOT the foundation for you. However, if you love natural glowing skin, get excited!

I am somebody who loves to mix my foundations with strobe cream or similar, to make it lighter consistency and to add a glow to my skin. I particularly like to do this in the summer when I have a more tanned face, and it's so warm, heavy makeup would otherwise sweat off! The Pro Glow is essentially a pre-mixed foundation and strobe cream - perfect for me!

This foundation comes in a similar size bottle to the Infallible Matte, except it's more flat then round. The formula is really runny, my first time using it I squeezed out way too much because I wasn't expecting it to be such a thin liquid-type consistency.

it's so easy to apply, smooth and light, it glides on. I prefer to apply foundation with a dense flat top brush, and these types of brushes are perfect for buffing in this foundation. I haven't tried it with a beauty blender.

I have tried applying this over a few different primers; Becca Backlight Primer, Too Faced Hangover X and MAC Strobe Cream - all very hydrating and brightening primers to enhance the finish. Personally I wouldn't use this over a mattifying primer, because I think that defeats the purpose.

My skin looks so smooth and healthy, I have received lots of compliments. Once you have set your under-eyes, bronzed etc, you are left with a really soft, natural glow - not a shiny or greasy finish.

I don't know that I agree with a 24 hour lasting power - does anyone wear makeup for that long? However my skin still looks good at the end of the day, so that's a thumbs up from me!

Tips: Don't set your entire face with powder, just the areas that you need (e.g. under-eyes and any areas you get oily) otherwise that can mattify the glow!

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Revie

I am so pleased I was selected for this trial as this foundation is one of the best foundations I have come across, and I have tried lots. I had been searching for a foundation that had the natural looking coverage like a BB creme but more than the BB cremes gave me without resorting to the sort that gives that thick, dull, dry look. I picked out shade 204 natural buff and it was perfect for me On application I found the liquid lightweight which allowed it to blend flawlessly. It gave a flattering natural looking coverage, with a silky, radiant finish (I have freckles and sun spots)

I first applied the L'Oreal foundation at around 8 in the morning and by 10pm that night, with no touch ups my skin was still looking good. I was really impressed as this day had reached temperatures of approx 30 degrees celsius. It didn't cling to any dry areas on my face and wasn't flat or cakey.

All in all a long wearing good coverage weightless formula that blends fantastically with zero dryness. Will I buy it ? you bet I will

Tips: If you did want more coverage I found I could add a second coat but needed to leave a few minutes in between coats to get best result.

Matched My Winter Skin

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation I think would be the most natural foundation I have ever tried. My neck does seem capable of naturally tanning, so I often have to work the product into my neckline to match this white bit of skin. But this product (shade 201, Classic Ivory) did match that skin perfectly. I have never seen such a perfect match. The downside was, it hid the slight tan I'd managed to get on my face.

Bringing it back to the product, the packaging fitted in with the rest of the infallible line, but I prefer the design of the matte tube, which has a nozzle to control the product flow. Because this was quite a liquid-y foundation, I was concerned about how much product was coming out when. Although because I was careful I had no mishaps.

In terms of that 24hr glow, the finish is described as radiant, I would describe it more as natural. The coverage is said to be medium, I would overall agree, though I have encountered heavier mediums. And the texture is described as air-light. I would totally agree. If you don't like a heavy foundation, you should try this. And in terms of 24 hours. I think 8 hours would be closer to accurate. The foundation is also described as never dull, never greasy. I tend to agree with that as well.

I love the infallible range, but I prefer other foundations in the range that are more heavy in terms of coverage and the punch they pack. But I think this is a great addition for the people who don't want a pound of foundation on their face.

Tips: If you are pale and struggle to find a foundation pale enough, Classic Ivory from this range may be your new HG.
