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.
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.
