L'Oreal ParisInfallible Total Cover Foundation, Creamy Natural, 1 fl; oz.

Better than I expected for the price goes on easy and covers well

This is my 4th time purchasing this foundation. I love it, & here are the reasons why: it provides great coverage/buildable coverage. It's not a liquid, it's more of a thick cream/mousse type texture. The shade I use (creamy natural-302) matches my skin tone wonderfully. It's glides onto the skin & blends in flawlessly. It doesn't oxidize, so what you see when you first apply it is what you get the whole time you're wearing it. Which is great. & mainly I just love the way it covers/looks on my face overall. It gives a very smooth, even, matte looking finish- which is what I want. It doesn't last 24 hours, however. But, it does last a while... definitely long enough to satisfy most everyone's needs, I'd assume. Overall, a really great product. The only foundation I've used for a couple of years now.

This makeup applies easily to my 60+ combination skin, covers a multitude of problems, including sun damage and a bit of rosacea. It stays on all day, but feels almost weightless, more like mineral makeup, but much better coverage. Skin prep and application method are crucial to success with this product - it's very different from other foundation makeup I've used. First, if you don't exfoliate at least once a week, this product may not apply well on your skin. I use a Clarisonic daily with Demalogica exfoliant cleansers that keep my skin very smooth. Also, unless you have oily skin, moisturize at least 10 mins before applying Total Cover and give it time to soak in. Lastly, use a foundation brush (e.l.f. Ultimate Blending Brush . I put the product in the palm of my hand and apply it in quadrants to my face with my fingers - then blending ea quadrant completely with a damp brush before moving to the next. It dries quickly, so don't try to do your whole face or go back and layer it - it will get streaky and BAD. When finished I dust on a very small amount of loose powder to my cheeks and eyelids so they'll have a super smooth surface for applying my powder blush and eyeshadow. This method produces a beautiful result for me. - I've gotten several compliments on my appearance from colleagues who were trying to figure out if I'd had some laser treatments or other "work" done. I've started storing up a stash in case they discontinue it! ps. it can take a few misses before finding your best shade - definitely don't go by the color on the outside of the tube - that's not the makeup color, it's a printed picture. Their shades tend to run pink and was hard to find a light neutral. It took me 3 tries to find my best shade (303 or 303 with a bit of 304), but was still well worth the hassle. Might be easier to just go to Ulta and let them help you test the product and find your color.

☆I've tried most drug store brand foundations & concealers & I've tried many high end brand foundations & concealers. If you're looking for a dupe for Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation than I'd say this is it. Gives the same effect at a more affordable price. I actually wore both brands regularly for almost a year and still do, I love both Tarte & L'oreal.☆I'm usually fair skin with pink undertones. I used l'oreal Infallible full coverage {302 creamy natural} for about 8 months then decided to go tanning again so that shade doesn't work for me right now. I bought shades 303 & 304 for something slightly darker. With summer approaching I would've needed something darker anyway. The 4th picture I attached shows a slight difference between the two. The right eye is the lighter shade {303 nude beige} & the left eye is {304 natural buff}. I used a toner on my face, moisturized and applied a primer prior to the application. Im 40 years old, have dark circles, fine lines & acne scarring. All 3 shades work for me depending on what time of year it is. Definitely covers the dark circles better than any other full coverage I've tried with the exception of Tarte. Is definitely long lasting, applying this & setting it holds up through a nap lol. Which is very important,I don't want to lay down looking like a beauty and wake up looking like a beast lol. Also almost completely covers the acne scars but does show the fine lines, that can't be covered. Most full coverage foundations/concealers with kind of sit in the groves. Up close that could look aging that's why moisturizing and priming prior to makeup application is crucial especially for us older gals. Regardless of the fine line situation I think this is an exceptional brand and full coverage foundation.I wouldn't build up on this too much because it has a tendency of looking cakey if too much is applied. I usually wash, tone, moisturize, use a tinted moisturizer, prime, apply a lighter foundation then the full coverage over that so it doesn't dry my face out. I know that's a lot but I'm a 40 year old tanner and smoker who has acne scars & dark circles. I didn't paint the best picture of myself but I have to be honest to help other people. So after much trial & error I found what works for me. I forgot to mention that I attached a picture of my tattoo. Just to show you how full coverage this is. I didn't match the color just put it on the tattoo to give you an idea.☆Also a helpful tip...when looking for a foundation match the shade to your neck not your face. There's nothing worse than a line of Foundation around your face/neck. You can always highlight or bronze your face☆

I saw a video on YouTube on how to stop makeup from transferring to other objects. The beauty in the video suggested a long-lasting foundation and I came across L'Oreal Paris Infallible. I thought the color matched my own and ordered away. Got it, tried it, love it. I need full coverage because my skin is not even. This provides nice coverage and is of a great consistency for coverage. I use Clinique which is $38 a pop and while the coverage is great, it gets all over everything. It's not a 24-hour long lasting foundation. It got on my phone, on other people...not cool. This one by L'Oreal does not transfer as much and in fact, far less. For the cost, can't go wrong. Used with other products, transfer is far less. No regrets.
