L’Oreal Paris Infallible 32 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation, 411

I have combination skin and am middle-aged now. I’ve used this for decades and it never disappoints, smooth finish every single time. It lasts throughout my whole day in all kinds of weather, no touch-ups needed. The coverage is medium, not too heavy, not too light. I have rosacea so this coverage is perfect enough to cover those issues. In fact, sometimes I just use dots of it on my problem areas and then some mineral powder for the rest of my face. It’s great for either a full face or concealing problem spots. It blends perfectly. If you have middle-aged skin, try this formula. It doesn’t cake or smear either. I love it!!

I have used this since it came out. I like the new formula too. This is high end foundations quality and out performs nearly all high end that I have recently tried. Anymore I cannot justify the cost of “high end” especially if the quality doesn’t back up the price tag. Loreal Infallible Fresh Wear is not heavy feeling and is long wearing. Excellent color selection. Blends easily. It doesn’t separate or break down and easily buildable. Looks great all day. I always receive compliments. I have this in color 445 Vanilla (Lancome Teint Idole 320C for color reference). L’Oreal’s True Match Nude is also amazing (Colors 2-4 and 4-5).

If L’Oreal Paris ever stops making this, I will be in trouble. Why? Because in the last 16/17 years, I have tried many – and I mean MANY – foundations by many brands and even different lines within those brands. From drugstore brands to high ends and everything in between…and this is my absolute match made in heaven! There’s a brand from Sephora that’s a match too, and I like it for the exact same reasons, but it’s much pricier and this L’Oreal Infallible foundation is my exact match, has the same full coverage, very light weight and very long lasting wear, AND a GREAT value. So this is the one I go for. I have used brands like Mac, Cover FX, Clinique etc….and for the price and quality this one is my absolute favourite and its the ONLY ONE I have been using for almost two years now. No plans to switch!

I go through the bottles pretty frequently, because I wear it almost everyday (office, going out etc). From morning until I take it off (whenever that may be. Half an hour to 10+ hours, depending on the day), it STAYS PUT. No caking, no smudging, no trouble whatsoever.

I use a primer, colour corrector, and this foundation, then set it with powder and that’s it. I struggle with dark circles and this foundation helps with that, too. Even when I don’t use a colour corrector or a primer (because who always remembers the primer?), it does the job just as good. A little always goes a long way as well, so that’s another good thing.

The foundation really stays put and I have to wash my face well to get it completely off….which is a very good thing in my book. There’s nothing I dislike more about makeup that doesn’t stay put and requires repeat application. I highly recommend it. Before you buy it online though, make sure you know your exact shade. I was buying it from the store after finding my match by consulting with a beauty advisor there, then I found this on Amazon, so I got it from here and got a subscription since I know this is the one I’ll be using until L’Oreal forces me not to!

I’ve been using this foundation for 8 years (Since I was 17). It was the only one that worked for my acne prone skin. I’ve tried other brands over the years but always regretted it and came back to this one. You can hardly tell you have foundation on if you take the time to blend it properly. I like to spread it quickly with my fingers then pat it with a damp beauty blender. It doesn’t need setting powder at all. The only downside is that you have to blend it very quickly or it dries in place, but I don’t mind that. I also like the price here on amazon as it’s only $18 compared to shoppers which is $25. I hope this foundation doesn’t go viral or anything that will cause it to sell out, it is my holy grail of makeup. I will wear it till I die.

This is the very first make up that matched my skin, including the undertones perfectly! I have always had difficulty finding my perfect match. I’m still learning how to ensure it however, I will say it’s way less than any other makeup I have used. It’s an excellent product.

I had been using another long-lasting foundation brand but decided to try this Infallible Fresh Wear because L’Oreal is a well-known brand and I have used some of their products in the past. The foundation comes in a glass pump bottle so it protects the efficacy of the foundation. It isn’t an open top bottle that requires dumping on a finger or in your hand which can spread bacteria or contaminate the product. This brand certainly has a lot of color choices too. I have warm undertones and some makeup lines tend to cater to neutral or cooler toned skins. This Infallible line has most skin tones covered–light, medium, deep shades as well as cool, neutral and warm undertones. I was able to find a shade that blends into my skin and looks skin-like but enhanced. It also has a Vitamin C derivative which helps to brighten skin (however, if you have extra sensitive skin you might want to do a small skin test first to test for reactions). This foundation feels lighter on my skin than some I have used. I appreciate that it is long-wearing too and has some SPF, although I do wear regular sunscreen under it. It is kind of a matte makeup which may benefit combination and/or oily skin but dry skin types might need moisturizer or it might drag on skin when applying. I have a slightly oily T-zone and while the makeup did well on cool days on hot, humid days I did have to blot some. However, after that it continued to look fresh. Since it is a long lasting foundation I use makeup remover prior to using cleanser. It is competitively priced compared to more pricier higher-end brands I have used– a lot less expensive. Yeah, I would probably get it again. Hope maybe at least some of this info helps.
