L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation Review

On first using the foundation it felt quite thin as i usually apply with a wet sponge. This seemed to spread it unevenly and I had to apply more product so I tried again with a dry sponge. The product went on easily and my skin felt soft, however by the afternoon it felt quite itchy. put this down to the heat and humidity and din't think any more of it. Day two and I applied after my usual moisturiser again and by the afternoon my skin felt lumpy, on removing it at night I noticed i had red raised spots only on my face. I tried again the next day without moisturiser and with a fresh sponge and my skin felt sore and itchy after an hour so i removed it. Obviously the product was not compatible with my skin, this doesn't mean however that others will necessarily have a reaction to it. Although I can be sensitive to some products I have never had a reaction to foundation before so I was surprised and didn't have a rash anywhere else on my body. To be honest I wasn't that keen on the consistency anyway as it seemed too thin. Sorry L'Oreal I'm not a fan

I tried #203 Nude Beige. First up the packaging is sleek and slim. It easily slotted into my handbag. It is perfect size for travelling and is in a plastic tube so not heavy or bulky. The consistency is really thin but I found it blended nicely. I really liked the smooth light feel. It had great coverage and gave a satin finish. I love the chart on the back of the tube. It tells you the finish (Radiant), Wear up to (24 hours), Coverage (Medium) and texture (air-light). In terms of lasting up to 24 hours, I wouldn't normally wear foundation for that long so was not able to put this to the test. However it did last 12 hours with only requiring touch ups around my nose.

I am reviewing Colour 202 ‘Creamy Natural’. It is wildly difficult to pick a shade of foundation from a swatch on a computer screen, and while this was close to matching my skin-tone, the undertone of this particular shade is almost grey. I’m not sure 202 will have the right undertone for many people.

That being said – this product is very forgiving if you (like me) choose the wrong shade. This had a sheer – medium coverage for me and I choose to go for a more sheer coverage and this worked well. It had a glowy BB cream sort of finish where you could see my freckles but my redness was gone. It is easily build-able and the product did not feel oily on.

Packaging is plastic & easy to use so is a great number for the handbag/ gym bag. As others have mentioned it is a very runny consistency - but every product is different and I don't see this as an issue.

I have normal/ Combination skin that is dry in winter and can get oily in Summer, so I think this is a great foundation for winter or for those who simply prefer a dewy finish.

I would probably only use this in winter, because this trial taught me that I actually prefer a more matt look.

I was excited to be picked for this review. I had been in the market for a new foundation for a little while now but I was finding it hard to find anything better than my HG tarte water foundation.

I expect a lot from my foundations. I want them to be lightweight but buildable. I don't want them to be cakey and I want them to last. Is that so much to ask? Also I prefer a medium coverage.

For reference I have combo skin leaning more towards dry.

First up the packaging. It's a cute little squeezy tube and its actually fairly handy for travel. I'll probably take this overseas rather than my tarte since it'll travel better and I'm less afraid of this smashing everywhere.

The colour match for this was pretty good - likely one shade too light (bronzer helps) but will probably fit me perfect in the winter time.

It's a very running foundation and I went with my usual method of applying primer (Guerlains Lor) and then using my booty (heh) blender to smooth this out.

If you are expecting a full coverage foundation this is not for you. It actually says on the tube it's a medium coverage foundation and I found this light to medium. It's buildable without being cake and it did a good job of covering my pores on my cheeks. My concealer also layered on top nicely as did any powder products I applied after.

I wore this all day on Saturday from 11am all the way to 9pm. Baby shower all the way to the pride parade where I was shaking my butt off to the music and trying to get a selfie with Jacinda.

I did notice some oils creeping through particularly on my nose. While it didn't settle into any lines I felt it didn't do much to smooth them out either. Next time i'll try to add a bit of powder to these areas to see how they fair. My number one this is that is DID NOT oxidise on me which in the past i've had huge issues with loreal foundations doing that.

All in all I actually liked the foundation and will keep using it.

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.

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

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!

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
