Cosmetics Makeup Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Longwear Foundation, Soft Sable, 1 fl oz

I’ve been using L'Oréal Infallible 24HR Matte - Liquid Foundation for years, and it’s hands down one of the best drugstore foundations out there. The coverage is buildable—from medium to full—and it blends beautifully without feeling heavy or cakey. It truly lives up to the “long-wear” claim. Whether I’m running errands, at work all day, or going out in the evening, this foundation stays put and keeps my skin looking smooth and even. It handles humidity and long days without sliding off or settling into fine lines. I also love that it comes in a wide range of shades, making it easy to find a perfect match for my skin tone. It gives a natural matte finish that still looks like real skin—not overly flat or dry. Reliable, affordable, and consistently great—this has been a staple in my makeup routine for years, and I’ll keep repurchasing it as long as L'Oréal keeps making it!

I am the whitest white girl you ever did see. I get this in the lightest shade (ivory) and it's still not a true match / is slightly too dark with a bit of a pink undertone. Why do I keep using it? Because it's the best drugstore foundation I've found overall. Without any foundation on, I have an uneven complexion with redness in my cheeks, chin and the creases of my nostrils. I also have dry skin that can be a bit flaky. If you're in my boat, here's what I do to make this foundation work for me: 1) Wash my face with warm water (no soap), exfoliate gently with a wet washcloth, and rub in a small drop of plain olive oil while my face is still moist, then pat dry with a towel. (Olive oil won't clog your pores, is great for reducing visible inflammation naturally, and contains many antioxidants to fight aging like those 100-year old mediterranean people with perfect skin who use olive oil for everything.) 2) I apply a pea-to-dime sized amount of foundation to the back of my hand. Using a stippling brush (I use the Real Techniques one - cheap, works great, lasts forever without shedding fibers), I dab this onto my cheeks first, then chin, then blend in everywhere else. Some people complain this foundation doesn't spread well / dries too quickly / showcases dry patches, but using this method with olive oil on the skin beforehand, particularly for those of us with dry skin, I believe eliminates those problems. It spreads beautifully and smoothly with olive oil as a barrier to the skin - I wouldn't try putting this directly on my skin type because my skin is too dry. Your mileage may vary. The coverage is really pretty remarkable in my opinion. I require a medium coverage but prefer full-coverage and this is a great solution. It erases my redness and gives me a nice, even tone without maximizing pores or causing breakouts. Speaking of breakouts, it does okay with covering acne, but I'd recommend going over the pimple by putting a tiny dot of foundation on your clean fingertip and tapping it onto the pimple (after the main / full face application) just to ensure it's evenly covered. I sometimes have to reapply this product if I have a particularly long day, but it's the best looking foundation I've worn for a good price so I don't really mind. To me, it's not worth paying 3x as much to only apply once a day with a more premium brand. Before I had kids, I was a runway model for years so I've had every high-dollar foundation out there applied to my face and I STILL think people are nuts for spending so much on trendier foundations. This foundation, when properly applied, does 80% of the job for 30% of the price. That's a trade-off I can live with. The one thing I don't like about it (aside from the lightest shade not being light enough, which is the case with virtually all drugstore foundations) is that it does transfer onto clothing etc. if your face comes into contact with it. Naturally, I really like hugging my husband, but he's taller than me so a hug often results in a powdery "face smear" right around armpit level of his shirts - tooootally annoying. If he's wearing black it can look like he got in a fight with a bag of powdered sugar and lost. So, buyer beware - keep your face away from anything you don't want a ghostly face print on. Overall, this is a great product at an excellent price point and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

I preferred use this at night. It has a little more coverage looks a little nicer on my skin. It’s long lasting. It’s a decent size and it’s a great value for the money and a nicely matches my skin tone.

I decided to try the L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation (101 Classic Ivory) and overall it really does everything it claims. The coverage is great, it feels lightweight, and it gives a smooth matte finish that lasts throughout the day. My only real complaint is that it dries very quickly, so you have to work fast when blending, even doing in small sections. If you apply it without prepping your skin, it can look a little cakey, but using a moisturizer or even a bit of sweet almond oil beforehand made a big difference and helped it go on much more smoothly. Once I figured that out, the finish looked much nicer and more natural. For the price, it’s a solid foundation and definitely worth trying, I give it 4 stars but I would give it a 4.5 if it were available...

Never tried this foundation. Like the full coverage it has and it does stay on for a very long time. Not heavy, goes on smooth. Is not cakey and has a pretty finish. It's really hard to choose a foundation online, did the best I could with the swatch. I would repurchase but a different shade.

Love this affordable foundation. Flawless base every time. Perfect consistency. Looks amazing. Great for fine lines and wrinkles. I do use a damp beauty blender. I have 2 different shades and mix them to my liking. Will buy again. So natural looking.

The L'Oréal Paris Infallible Makeup is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a long-lasting product that delivers a natural, perfect finish. The texture is lightweight yet provides great coverage, evening out the skin tone with a luminous look without feeling heavy. I love that it holds up well throughout the day, keeping my face fresh and shine-free, even on hot days or during long hours. It applies easily, blends effortlessly, and feels comfortable on the skin. Another great point is the wide range of shades available, making it easy to find the perfect match for every skin tone. It also works well with different skin types, including combination and oily skin. In conclusion, L'Oréal Paris Infallible is a reliable foundation for long-lasting, natural, and professional-looking makeup. Perfect for those who want to look flawless all day without constant touch-ups.

To dark

tenia muchas expectativas con todo lo que habia oido hablar de ella, mi zona T es muy grasa y esperaba que funcionara tambien como alguna base de alta gama, pero funciona igual que cualquier otra que no sea de esas 2 o 3 caras que son tan expecificas para aguantar brillos

Soy súper blanca con subtono amarillo. Me cuesta mucho trabajo encontrar bases que cumplan con esta características. Ya llevo un tiempo usando diversas bases de loreal pero siempre me quedaban un poco obscuras aunque fueran las mas claras. Esta base es ideal! Cobertura media como lo indica. Tengo marquitas de acné y las cubre bastante bien.

En pocas palabras: Me he enamorado completamente de la base. Conocía físicamente la base más jamás la había probado y después de haberlo hecho no entiendo como es que no la probé antes. Soy de piel grasa (promedio) con tendencia a que me salgan granitos, entonces encontrar una base que no me tape los poros o provoque reacción es realmente una tarea difícil. Tiene una textura ligera para el tipo de cobertura que tiene, ya que no es ni fluida ni espesa, al igual que tampoco sentí tuviera aroma alguno, lo cual es bueno. El empaque está bien, solo hay que tener cuidado de no derramar producto, aunque me gustaría tuviera algún dispensador, definitivamente también la compraría. Tiene una cobertura media construible a media alta y aunque la apliqué con esponja, brocha y dedos, me gusta más el acabado con esponja. Algo importante a mencionar es que seca MUY rápido, de manera que lo ideal es trabajarla por partes para evitar parches. Su terminado es mate y aunque no hace falta sellarla, sí encontré que duraba un poco más si sellaba con polvos la zona T. Respecto a duración, en mi persona a las 5-6 horas ya me empezó a salir grasa, más no se botó la base, retirando el exceso de grasa una sola vez me duró la base en perfecto estado unas 8 hrs, pues al final del día la zona más gastada era la frente, nariz y barbilla pero esas zonas son las que más contacto tuvieron con mis manos y mi careta y cubrebocas, lo cual me lleva a que la transferencia que tiene sobre la ropa u objetos es mínima y con una resistencia al sudor y agua, alta. Para retirarla tampoco tuve inconvenientes, se retira fácil con un paño y agua tibia, con pads y agua micelar o con toallitas desmaquillantes; por último y como referencia mi tono es el 105 y me quedó perfecto, no oxidó ni cambió su color a lo largo del día. En conclusión, cumple lo que promete y es una compra que vale cada centavo. Cuando se termine en definitiva volveré a comprarla, estoy muy satisfecha con ella.

Love it!
