L'Oreal Paris Makeup Infallible Up to 32 Hour Fresh Wear Lightweight Foundation, 488 Caramel, 1 Fl Oz, Packaging May Vary

I’m someone who rarely wore makeup. I didn’t like the way it felt on my face and I only wore it on special occasions. However, I’m over 45 now and have a few freckles and dark spots and thought I should start a skincare and makeup routine. I ran into problems trying to find a shade match in the beauty store. After doing a lot of swatching at the beauty store and finding some foundations that seemed close, I was disappointed that one of the better marching ones oxidized and turned orange/bronze on me after a few hours. I tried again with Nyx Blur and L’Oreal Infalliable. The Nyx was terrible on my skin. Wrong shade, but it also looked weird - runny and patchy. The L’Oreal Infalliable 460 Golden Beige was very close, but just a hair orangey to me after wearing it. I decided to go a shade down and switched to a neutral undertone rather than warm, because this foundation was perfect in every other way - it had less oxidation than the previous Maybelline powder foundation I tried, it had better coverage (medium to full), and it was soft and light on my skin. I took a chance and ordered the 455 Natural Buff. I’m in love!! This is the closest shade match I’ve found. I put it on my face and it looked good. I decided to try some on my neck, which can sometimes look slightly lighter than my face, and the makeup on my neck was almost imperceptible from my skin. When I showed my partner my makeup and sent photos to my best friend, both said the foundation looked exactly like my skin and it didn’t look like I was wearing makeup. The quality of the makeup is good. There is a very slight tackiness to it, but it’s not unpleasant. It also seems more hydrating compared to the Nyx makeup. It’s also easy to build up. I can wear it as medium coverage with one coat or full coverage if I layer more on. When I use two coats, it looks very nice and smooth in photos. I would happily buy this again and recommend it to others. This is probably the best quality of makeup I’ve used, apart from a brief period of using bare minerals. And I like that L’Oreal offers a nice shade range so it’s easier to find your matching color. Having fair, olive-toned skin can be hard to find the right match for!

This has been my go-to foundation for almost two years now. It’s more of a matte finish which I prefer and it was very easy to find my shade match. This foundation is a buildable coverage. It dries quickly, so you do need to move fast when blending. However, since it is more of a matte finish, I wouldn’t recommend it to those with super dry skin.

This makeup is truly amazing. I was laying on my stomach, my face was face down on a table in the dr's office for about 30 minutes. when I sat up I noticed there was no makeup on the white paper that they cover the table with. I really expected to see a mess when I got up, but I was amazed that I didn't see any at all. I was changing positions constantly trying to get more comfortable and I rubbed my face many times on the paper. That made me a believer of this makeup. I'm 73 and my facial skin has become dryer, I was always combination/normal when younger. I put on a very small amount of moisturizer before applying the makeup and this works perfect for me. I actually look healthy and a bit younger with this makeup. it does not crease and looks very natural and covers my age spots very well. I am fair to light skin tone blonde/silver hair with pale green eyes and the shade 411 has worked out quite well. I like a little cool tone and this is not too pink. I don't know why anyone would not like this makeup unless they have very dry skin and their not using a moisturizer. Loreal has made the perfect make up and I'm ditching the expensive Estee lauder double wear forever. I don't think I will ever have to search for another makeup. I'm so glad I found this, I think it's even better than the double wear and so affordable. Loreal, thank you for a great product, keep up the great work.

Foundation has a good full buildable coverage that lasted throughly the day. Did not oxidize! However removing star because this particular bottle has the worst chemical smell. Going to try setting with a more fragrant setting spray to see if that covers the smell or else I will be returning it unfortunately.

I love this foundation so much - I keep going back to it and have for many years. it applies with a natural texture and provides a slightly glowy, very healthy look while still having good coverage and being buildable. it's not very thick - it's like applying moisturizer, really. I think I find it works better WITHOUT primer (but definitely WITH setting spray!). it also doesn't tend to cake up above the lip and on the sides of your nose, and it's not bad about settling into lines around the eyes, though after a long day, I will kind of blend it a bit around the eyes - it can only do so much! it smells lovely and the fragrance dissipates after you've had it on a few minutes. dries pretty quickly, but not so quickly you can't spend a little bit of time blending just right. I've also applied it thickly, waited 30-45 seconds, THEN blended it out when I've got areas that need extra coverage. I usually use a fluffy brush to apply Revlon ColorStay powder lightly over it to set it and give a touch of mattification to my nose, chin and forehead and to set the foundation more on my jawline... before applying setting spray - usually e.l.f. Stay All Night on my cheeks, forehead and neck, and Urban Decay All-Nighter over my eyes.

I haven't used any other foundation for a while. This is good. Doesn't feel heavy. I have sensitive skin and this doesn't cause irritation. Doesn't dry out my skin. The coverage is good. I would say it's medium coverage. Easy to apply with the pump. However, this feature does make it harder to get the last of it out of the bottle. I use a small brush to get the rest out. I have fair skin with pink undertones so I bought the Rose Ivory shade. Matches well. Consistency is good. Can make your skin look oily. I use the setting powder in the Infallible line and it's a dream. I also use the concealer in this line as well. Longwear for sure. I wear this combo to work. My work days are 10 hours. Makeup still looks as good as it did when I first applied and I have no irritation. I like all the products. I will continue to buy!

It could be just me, but this foundation burns the absolute hell out of my eyes every time i put it on, my eyes water, leak, and burn for about 5-8 minutes before it cools down. The foundation itself is WONDERFUL like it makes you look snatched fr it’s been my favorite , like fr top favorite. It’s so good that i kept using it regardless of the irritating and burning and leaking, until today it literally cost me my sight today lol. I went into work with it on and before i went to work i noticed after i put it on i started having a bad reaction, even worse than all the other times, and actually had a horrible allergic reaction and ended up taking some benadryl, which also didn’t help. I felt helpless for like two hours not knowing wtf to do, i still went into work and actually went home IMMEDIATELY because nothing was helping and it just wouldn’t stop. Flushed my eyes out with water, still didn’t help, so i was just hoping the burning and the pain would go away if i tried to go to sleep, i couldn’t go to sleep bc of how bad it was so i put a wet towel over my eyes and tried to cool them down and i was tired from the benadryl so i ended up sleeping , woke up with my eyes still sore and surprisingly woke up with eyesight still .. regardless of today i think other people have different reactions to stuff or no reaction at all, but i’m still giving the foundation a 9/10 even after today bc the coverage is so good.

I've bought so many foundations, from high end to more affordable brands. This one was surprisingly amazing. It's smooth, with light application and just a little bit of product goes a long way. Easy to blend and won't cake up or settle in fine lines. Definitely a great product
