Phew!
That name is quite a mouthful, isn’t it? ;) But is it worth the name? Or is it
just another tell-tale foundation which claims many things but unfortunately
delivers none (except a ghostly white or grey-ish cast on face)?? I was
intrigued with the launch of this new baby because till now L’oreal products
have always impressed me. As you all know by now I am totally averse to cakey
base makeup and most of the days I skip it totally. So when the wonderful L’oreal
team sent me this beauty in two shades, I was an excited baby because of the
good reviews I had been reading about the same. Alright! Enough of my banter,
it’s time to read more about this new foundi on the block.
Product name: L’oreal Paris Infallible 24H
Stay Fresh Foundation
Price: Rs. 1325 for 30 ml

Packaging:
The packaging of this foundation is pretty functional- a see-through glass
bottle with a maroon colored pump dispenser. The pump is of good quality and
dispenses just the right amount every time-neither too less, nor too much. The cap
shuts well and has the shade name and number label stuck on its top.

My take:
I received two shades from this range- 220 Sable
Sand and 140 Golden Beige. These two shades are very similar to each other
except for the fact that 140 Golden Beige is a tad more yellow than the other.
It was impossible for me to capture the color difference in camera when they
are bottled.

But you can see the obvious difference in the swatches. Sable Sand is neutral beige while Golden
Beige is a yellow beige. My closest match is Sable Sand because Golden
Beige is a tad lighter for me. I might use the latter in evenings for a bit of
brightening. But for natural day look, my NC37-40 skin tone chooses Sable Sand J The next shade i.e no.300 would be a match for most
fair-medium Indian skin tones. I am eyeing that next ;)

Texture-wise
L’oreal Paris Infallible 24H Stay Fresh Foundation is comfortably liquid-y.
What I mean to say is, it is not too dense like those super matte foundations
(like MAC Studiofix). It blends like a breeze. Just remember to take a tiny
drop and work into your skin drop by drop. The first time I squeezed out the
normal amount I thought that my face would need and it was wasted L A tiny drop
covers a large area. Since I never like full coverage foundations, I take the
tiniest possible amount and work it into my moisturized skin. Even with that
tiny amount, it is capable of covering minor imperfections on the face. So
needless to say, if you find your perfect shade match then this foundation will
be heaven-sent for you for those heavy coverage requirements too owing to the
fact that it is very buildable.
Also,
after setting, the foundation does not make my face look flat and without
color. There is a subtle glow that we get from dewy foundations. This pretty
one sets to a semi matte finish- and
your skin is not stripped off the natural moisture. I love how natural my
skin looks or feels (no heavy plaster kind of feeling!) yay!!
Staying
power is pretty awesome too. It stayed without fading for the whole day on me!
Oily-skinned beauties might need to powder their nose or T-zone after 6-7
hours, but for normal-dry skinned ladies, this one is the best bet!
True to
its claims, the foundation does not
transfer much in normal weather conditions. If you are staying in too humid
regions, you might want to further set the foundation with a dab of powder.

Now the
most important point: does sit photograph
well?? :D YES!!!!! There is absolutely no grayish cast on face when
photographed. Here’s me wearing the foundation with no concealer or
highlighters (Shade 220 Sable Sand). Thus, it passes the “Can it be included in
bridal vanity” test too ;)

Recommendation: L’oreal Paris Infallible 24H
Stay Fresh Foundation is the ULTIMATE foundation which stands true to its
claims. Blendable, non-cakey, photographs well, medium-full coverage and good
staying power. What else do we need? :D Go get it girls (Make sure to get the
right shade)
With loads of love!
