Hey guys and girls! I'm back with another blogpost! Woo!
Today, I'll be reviewing on one of the most popular drugstore foundation product in the beauty industry: L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation.
This was gifted by my bestie for my birthday this year and I am forever grateful for her generosity.
It is a squeeze-tube type of packaging, which I have to admit, not my favourite type of packaging for foundations. Why? You might ask. It's because it gets messy around the tip of the tube, but I'm still okay with it. I'd prefer a foundation with a pump, just for your information.
L'Oreal also recently released their Infallible Pro-Glow 24HR Foundation. It has a dewy-finish while this one is matte.
First of all, this foundation does have a demi-matte finish, as it says on the bottle. It has a creamy consistency and texture.
It's not too drying for those with oily to combination skin, but if you have dry skin, it might turn bad for you. My skin sometimes turn dry and flakey and sometimes, it turns slightly oily. It did leave a weird dry patch on my forehead and my chin, and a little bit on my cheeks, but that could just be my sponge applicator or me not applying moisturiser or face primer beforehand.
On days when my skin is looking pretty decent, the foundation does look great on me. It doesn't stay on the surface of the skin, it does blend down to my skin tone and just looks natural. It has a medium coverage, not super light, not intense either.
It blends really quickly and spreads around the face very quickly. It's also very lightweight and doesn't feel sticky or heavy on my skin.
It did turn out quite oily after 4 hours (even if I set my whole face with powder) but the foundation still stays for a really long time, it doesn't fade away, disappear, smudge or anything like that. In conclusion, it's very long-lasting (as it says on the bottle). You definitely need to bring a powder along with you if you'll be out for a long time and if you have oily to combination skin.
Another pro is that this foundation is affordable and can be bought in stores or online in the States. The con is that it's hard to get if you're not in the States (or other countries in the West). I had to use shopandbox.com (which is a personal shopping destination for shoppers who aren't able to get their hands on some certain items or products).

It doesn't cause my skin to break-out, so another pro. It also has a lot of variety of shades and skin colours so you'll definitely find a shade that'll match your skin tone.
