L'Oreal Paris

Infallible Matte Foundation Foundation (natural rose 12)

Excited about trying new foundation. Smooth, silky and matte feel to it, long lasting. Easy application, colour vanilla just lovely. Nice texture and on offer at Tesco, so value for money. Beautiful foundation, Brilliant coverage and I'm 55! So was I was very pleased with the overall entire outcome. With regards to packaging I feel it does not do justice to the high quality of this product, it almost feels like a sample packaging. Shame as the product inside is superb! A bottle would have been nicer, more attractive and appropriate and certainly more appealing. GREAT foundation though! Well done Loreal! x

The coverage of this foundation is good. The tube packaging is very practical as you can squeeze out exactly how much product you need. It is also excellent for travelling as it is in plastic as opposed to glass, so it is lightweight and won't break. I have normal skin and tried applying this with both fingers and brushes, unfortunately the foundation started to break up on my skin just minutes after application. This foundation dried out my skin slightly. As I do not have oily skin and my skin has golden undertones I wouldn't consider this foundation above other L'Oreal foundations. The shade range is not wide enough to cater for everyone. I was sent shade 13 Rose Beige which was far too light and pink toned for my skin.

I got a sample of this to try and overall I'd say I think the foundation is pretty great. I really love the matt effect and it provides great coverage. I didn't test the 24hr claim but it did last all day. I love the tube packaging, it's really light and compact and you can easily control how much product you want to use. I would say the foundation isn't for dry skin as I had a few dry patches which the foundation really settled in to and highlighted. So you should make sure you have properly moisturised and primed to get the best result.

what do you say to a product that gives you everything? this is the foundation for me the coverage is absolutely brilliant you can barely see my spots i used the infallible primer underneath to create a blank canvas before i applied the foundation. i have oily skin and this foundation not only controlled the grease it didn't wear off during the day!!! the only downfall to a product that doesn't wear off easily to me is that it took me some effort to take it off, but i cannot complain the product did wonders for staying put and not leading astray. i also suffer from an uneven skin tone to which this covered and solved all of my issues! i would definitely recommend this product to those of you looking for a great product at a great price. another downfall is the bottle, they could have made it prettier!

I have combination/oily skin and this foundation is perfect except for one HUGE thing. The shade range is very limited in the UK. Unless you are light/light-medium skin colour do not even bother trying to find a match. Usually I am very lenient with drug store/ high street make up re colour matching but I know that L'oreal have a wider shade range in the USA. L'oreal please try to cater for women and men with medium- darker skin tones in the UK and other European countries too.

This product is the best foundation I have ever used. I suffer from mild acne that mainly consists of redness and spots and this product covered it completely so much that I didn't even need concealer. It stays matte all day so there's no shiny or greasiness either. I could also lean on my face and touch it with my hands at school and it wouldn't smudge or move around and it just feels like normal skin. Its amazing and you can hardly feel that you're wearing it at all!

This is a fantastic foundation for a young and/or oily skin. It applies smoothly and has a medium to full coverage. It does a good job of covering redness and small imperfections, and the minimum of concealer is needed to create a perfect canvas. It certainly lives up to its claims to be long lasting and matte. It is the perfect foundation for a night out or a long, hot and humid summer day. I would not recommend it for a mature and/or dry skin or if you prefer a light coverage product, but that is not who it is designed for. If that is your preference try the superb True Match. My skin is on the dry side and it does feel tight and slightly uncomfortable when wearing Infallible 24H-Matte. I was sent shad 11 vanilla to test and it is too dark for my very fair skin. If your complexion is cool toned and fair try porcelain.

After reading the reviews I was drawn to the product as I love matte looking make up. however I was disappointed with the overall result. For me it did not last the 24 hours it claims to, it barely lasted the day on my face. It dried way too quickly during application and ended up looking patchy on my face in certain areas even with the use of make up brushes. I usually have a great experience with L'Oreal products but was not satisfied with this one.
