L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Foundation

I like it, it wouldn't be my everyday foundation for work due to being a medium coverage but will be perfect for days off & weekends when i need a lighter coverage & a glow. Super easy to apply, used a blender & tried it with & without a primer & it worked fine. Had good stickability in this grossly humid weather were having in at the moment. Doesn't have a strong fragrance which is great, I hate smelling your makeup all day. Colour was great , matched my complexion well, I usually find a neutral beige is still a lil orangey by this wasn't, yay! Another great L'oreal product❤

Tips: Found it a little to thin to use with a brush to appy but worked great with a blender.

New Favourite!

I have always really struggled with face base products. After only a couple of hours I usually want to scrub it off my face because it feels so heavy and sticky. However, liquid and powder foundation tend not to stick to my t-zone area, leaving me with dried and flaking makeup.

The packaging is nothing special for this product. It certainly doesn't scream 'luxury', but of course that is not what you are paying for in a $40 product. I definitely appreciate that it is a squeeze tube though, as it means I can squeeze every last drop out of it.

Firstly, thank you to the website findation.com for giving me the perfect Pro-Glow colour match - 202 Creamy Natural. I was so impressed at how truly natural it looked on my face by giving me a little bit more colour yet not turning my complexion too pink/yellow/orange.

I absolutely adored the consistency of this foundation. It is quite fluid, which I appreciated because it spread evenly across my face and could be spread quite thin. You can easily layer the liquid for more coverage, but personally I prefer only light coverage so was happy with one swipe across my entire face. In saying that, I would probably class this as a 'light to medium' coverage foundation, so if you want a medium level foundation this would still work well.

As mentioned above, my biggest issue is that face products tend to flake off my t-zone. L'Oreal Pro-Glow DID NOT DO THIS! It claims to be hydrating, and I feel it absolutely is. It stayed in place from 8am to 6pm (probably longer, if I had the patience!) and did not dry out the problem areas of my face. This was the result when wearing it alone, with a primer underneath, and with SPF 50 underneath.

I have also unfortunately had really bad breakouts this week. As I'm sure everyone knows, bad acne or breakouts can severely diminish your confidence. When I saw how bad my skin looked I didn't even want to go to work! But WOW I was so impressed that I could use Pro-Glow both with concealer and as a concealer itself, and it gave me enough confidence to strut my stuff at work.

The finish is certainly a glowy look. I used it as an everyday product over the last week, but I can imagine it would also be stunning at night time and would make highlighter really pop.

Overall, I will 100% re-purchase this.

Tips: I actually had a lot of success applying this with my fingers rather than a beauty blender or brush. If you haven't quite mastered using your beauty tools, that is absolutely no problem with Pro-Glow!

Natural sheer look

The L'Oreal Paris infallible pro glow foundation is perfect if you want a natural go to make up look for every day that you can then dress up at night. It is super easy to apply and blends in seamlessly for a natural look. The only downside is the coverage is minimum so you would have to layer it up in some areas.

Tips: Moisturize and use a primer to ensure a glowy look.

Glow up? Or down?

Love the slim packaging but find that the foundation is a bit watery.

Gave light coverage for me and my skin looked blotchy and flaky, I was like a monet....Flawless far away, but up close a whole different story haha. The foundation had just sunken into my pores, and revealed a not so glam look.

The foundation does give a slight dewy finish which I liked, nothing too o.t.t, definitely layerable aswell.

Might give it another go through the colder months when my skin is abit more normal-dry skin, right now its combination.

Don't hate it. Don't love it x

Not a keeper

The title says it all really. I trialled L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation for a week now. It certainly is lightweight in that it is very runny and I really wondered how long a tube would last. Not a good sign, as this foundation is well over my normal budget. I found that my skin dried out when using this foundation. Considering the product claims to hydrate and is for normal to dry skin, I couldn't work out why this could be. Maybe it wasn't a thick enough coverage? Tick that it has a spf component. But I will not purchasing.

Tips: See if you can it on sale price

Wow I had such incredibly different results! That's why I love reading these reviews, because it shows when a product is really hit-and-miss, versus when everyone loves or hates it.

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Foundation

Delighted to receive the Creamy Natural 202 to trial , It was easy to apply although thinner than the usual foundation I use it seem to create a good coverage.It was not greasy and it felt light on my skin.I applied moisturizer first and when it was dry applied the foundation . Appreciate the SPF 15.Nice shaped container .I can't say I noticed my skin glowing as stated on the container

Tips: Open the tube carefully and don't squeeze too hard initially as the product flows out very quickly

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation

I am light/fair skinned, it is usually dry and I get occasional dry and flaky patches.

I got the colour 202 Creamy Natural and although it was the best colour match (after checking out the colour range at Farmers), I found that this shade looked slightly grey after applying it on to my face. However, after applying concealer and bronzer, the greyness was less noticeable.

The formula was very runny and blended well into my skin. The packaging recommends using a rolling motion so I tried using my fingers, and a damp beauty blender and found that a damp beauty blender worked the best for me as it gave the most natural and even finish and also dries to the touch. The coverage is buildable but I'd say more towards the light end.

On the skin, the foundation felt very light, which I really liked. The finish to look quite dewy and natural. It isn't quite highlighter-level glow but nice for everyday use. I found that because my skin can be quite dry, I could get away with not using a setting powder and/or setting spray but using them helped a the foundation last a bit longer throughout the day. I can't be sure if it would last 24 hours, but for a normal 8-10 hour day, it held up for me.

In terms of its hydrating effect, I still found that I preferred to wear a light moisturiser underneath. I had a dry patch on my cheek while testing this and I was very impressed that it did not emphasise the flakiness, especially after applying and setting my make up. At the end of my day, the area did start to get a little dry but overall, I couldn't really tell. I also haven't had any issues with breakouts so far.

The packaging nice and simple, the bottle is nice and slim. The bottle says to shake well but because the formula is so runny, it does tend to leak out into the lid - regardless of whether it is shaken or not, so that when you open the lid the end is is covered in foundation. This means it can be a little messy if left on the table with the lid off.

Tips: Using a damp beauty blender and a rolling/dabbing motion helps when trying to build up coverage.

I had pretty much the same results as you. I personally found it super easy to apply just using my fingers.

An Average Foundation

I trialed the Infallible Pro-glow foundation for 5 days. It was a bit tricky to review as the shade of foundation I received was not the best option for my skin/colouring ( it was a bit light for my skin tone so I looked a bit ghost-like)). It glides on well and I love that it has sunscreen SPF15. I found it to be a light coverage so on the areas of my face prone to a bit of redness this foundation wasn't really enough. The claim that it glows was hard to see. There didn't appear to be any reflective qualities unlike other primers I have used. That said it was light and definitely not a heavy or matte finish. I found I had to reapply to my nose as the coverage was a bit light to last the whole day but other areas held the product well. I made a visit to Farmers to check out other shades of the foundation. The darker shade was a much better match for my skin tone so some of the issues I raise may be eliminated with the correct shade. It certainly didn't dry out my skin and it was easy to remove. Overall an OK foundation but probably not enough coverage for me to purchase it again.

Tips: Make sure you get the right shade

Finally a dry skin foundation!

I did not know what to expect with this foundation when it arrived at my door but I have been pleasantly surprised by it.

As a person with dry skin I've found so many product cater to oily skin for foundation but this L'oreal Paris Pro-Glow promised to hydrate my skin and leave a natural looking glow. Although the product itself is a very liquid-type formula which I found it applied well. After trying application with a brush, my fingers and a beauty blender it was clear that the beauty blender worked best. The foundation was a true medium coverage as a step up from a BB/CC cream but not an 'airbrush' flawless look. I enjoyed the natural look it gave it and healthy glow as the colour was a great match for my own skin. In terms of '24hr long lasting' I didn't test this promise in full but on a hot, sweaty night out it stayed on really well. This product is a fantastic substitute for an expensive MAC one with similar results.

Tips: Apply with a beauty blender for best finish as the product isn't mousse-like!

Pleasantly surprised

I have been using Revlon Colourstay for about 15 years and whenever I try a new foundation (which has been many) it never wears as well. This new foundation by L’Oréal was awesome! I really liked the consistency of the foundation, it felt light to go on but still provided me with good coverage. Most importantly it lasted all day! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a long wearing foundation.

Tips: I found it went on best with a foundation brush compared to a finger! Use a primer before applying as it goes on so smoothly and maybe helps it stay on longer.
