L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation: I finally found the ONE
6:03 PM
Choosing the right foundation has always been a challenge for me. In addition, buying the kind that is more than 500 is a No-No for me. When I bought L'Oréal's Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation, I nearly cried because it was a little above 500. Was it worth it? Read on.
I was already on the verge of giving up wearing foundation--makeup in general--because I really hate that sticky feeling especially in this humid and very hot Philippine weather. However, in the back of my mind, I still dream of being able to go places, even on a regular day, looking dolled up. Well, I believe the key to achieving that is finding a foundation that works for your skin type. So, how did I end up buying L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation?
I did some research on the best foundation to beat oily skin and heat in the Philippines. This brand is always present in various lists.
Also, L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation promises a super air-light feel on your skin with a demi-matte finish. It also claims to have a mattifying formula that is super comfortable and lasts all day long--24 hours ahem!
It was on sale, P550, so I bought it after careful consideration. OA! Anyways I chose the shade 120. It has a yellow undertone and is actually 2 shades lighter than my complexion. I selected that shade on purpose because, other brands that I tried, always oxidize on my face. Other brands give me this nasty orange look after a couple of hours and I really hate that.
To make the long story short, here is what I think of L'Oréal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation.
True to its claim, it feels super comfortable and feather-light, like you are wearing no foundation at all. It has a matte finish that lasts a when I am in a cooler environment. There is way less need for me to blot oil with this kind of foundation and that is a huge advantage over other brands. The best part is that it does not oxide on my face. HALLELUAH!
Under very hot weather conditions, it manages to stay put despite the oil and sweat. All you need is a light pat of tissue or blotting paper to blot the sweat or oil and tada! you are still good to go. It does not easily cake or budge or transfer.
I must say however, that if you have noticeable pores, you still need to use a primer before putting on the foundation and a trusty face powder to set your make up.
The bottom line is that I am very happy with L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation. I finally found the one that I can wear everyday. I did not regret spending more than 500 for a foundation because it was worth it. If it is not on sale, it sells at around Php 650 at Watsons, SM and other stores that sell makeup.
Let me share my favorite everyday look:
