L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Longwear Foundation, 201 Classic Ivory, 30 ml (Amazon Exclusive)

Product Information

I also generally use a makeup sponge to apply my foundation, as I find it gives me a much more flawless finish than using a brush.

I don't know how well it is going to hold up in the summer humidity that will be here soon in NW florida but I am hopeful! I think 209 would have been a better match but that’s okay this one actually works fine and will be close to my perfect shade in winter.Saying that, it still looks and feels beautiful on my skin, and is one of the better foundations I have tried. Btw, chlorine in swimming pool water depletes this protective coating, so one more reason to reapply your sunscreen after a dip in the pool on holiday. This foundation has a matte finish, which would work perfectly for anyone with normal to oily foundation.

Skip the misleading ads, paid bloggers, sponsored Instagrammers, and enjoy some real information from other redditors. If you are into more of a full coverage look this isn’t going to be for you, I would suggest trying the L’Oreal Lumi. A 'glowy' long-wearing foundation is notoriously hard to find, so when Pro-Glow first launched in the US back in 2016, the Internet went WILD. As for the beautyblender, I’m not a fan of using it damp with liquid foundations because most of the foundations I use are medium coverage. Similar to other microsphere powders, it can scatter the light to give products a soft focus or blurring effect.It looks great immediately after application but looks even better and more natural when it’s gotten a chance to mix and mesh with the oils on my face (from the argan oil and what little natural oil my uber dry skin secretes). All in all, the foundation just didn’t sound very promising but nevertheless I still wanted to give it a try. I have been really struggling with foundations settling into my smile lines recently and this is the only foundation so far that doesn't do this.

To be 100% honest, I have to blot my makeup after a few hours of wear no matter what foundation/primer/powder combo I use. With the removal of excess air and water, products require less packaging and become more efficient to dispatch. L’Oreal recently came out with the Infallible Pro-Glow foundation for people with normal to dry skin and being someone with ultra dry skin I knew I had to give it a shot.

Its two winning properties that make it very suitable for this role is its outstanding spreadability for a smooth application and its low covering power, aka translucency to avoid clown-like effects.

Yes – definitely gives luminosity that doesn’t come from shine and yet, it feels smooth and hydrating which is quite spectacular in terms of formulation technique; it’s a fine line between dewy and shiny.
