L'OréalInfallible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation In A Powder

I apply using a loose foundation brush to pat it all over, building coverage where I want it. I do think applying it with the sponge that comes with it is too much and I need full coverage in some areas. It feels cakey and heavy with sponge. Using brush it goes on in much lighter layers giving a more natural even matte appearance. I like a dewey appearance in some areas and more matte in others and this works with brush application to hide melasma and some uneven skin tone and pores. It lasts most of the day pretty well even with some heavy sweating during summer.

I've been wearing this for probably a solid 10 years and will continue to wear it until they don't make it anymore or until I keel over, lol! Great price great coverage great product!

I love this compact. The product works so well on top of foundation or on its own. It was my go to powder until i had startrd swimming. I have 4 different shades and not one works 330 is a tad too dark, but 300 is too light. 260 and 250 are currently too light, but are for when im not swimming

This is definitely one of the better pressed powder foundations out there. It applies smoothly and looks natural, and shockingly i found a great color match (golden sun, im normally mac nc42-45 depending on the season). Tips for application: start with properly moisturized skin. I found using the included puff (or similar) AND using gentle pressure (dont drag it) to swipe and pat product in the skin provides best coverage. Then use a brush if necessary to even it out. Apply other powder product over it, and use a setting spray to finish and it should not look powdery/dry. My only issue is staying power, but that is a problem i have with face products across the board (i tend to touch my face, blow my nose a lot throughout the day)

I started buying this since the other brand I was using has raised their prices so much. I don't plan on going back! The reason for 4 stars is it runs out fast.
