The powder is incredibly fine-milled and is of the quality you see in luxury brand makeup. However, when this isn’t used as powder foundation but as setting powder, then it’s a whole different ball game altogether. It makes my enlarged pores more apparent. The coverage was mediocre and I found that the powder sunk into the fine lines. I used the enclosed sponge to apply the powder foundation. I don’t have any liquid foundation on my skin prior to applying this). Sadly, it didn’t work very well when used as foundation (i.e. Still, I was keen on trying this out as powder foundation just to see how it fares on my skin. Liquid base makeup is my weapon of choice now. Even though I still have an oily T-zone, the rest of my cheeks are pretty normal and sometimes dehydrated. Back in the day, I favoured powder foundation as my skin was quite oily. It’s been many, many years since I’ve used powder foundation. I didn’t experience any skin issues with this foundation. Of course, I didn’t test this out for the full 24 hours (I won’t go to sleep in my makeup and you can’t make me! □ ) but I’m at least able to use this for a good number of hours without it falling off my skin. I’ve had it on for well over 10 hours without experiencing any fading. My skin no longer looks matte but quite satin without looking shiny. This is the sort of foundation that looks even better after a number of hours. What I really like about it is how good it makes my skin look after a few hours. The finish is quite matte but it doesn’t exacerbate the fine lines on my skin. I got at least a medium coverage and if I add more thin layers of foundation, it gives me almost full coverage without it feeling thick and heavy on my skin. It dispenses a thick and creamy, er, cream but when you blend it on your skin, it feels very light. The shade I’m currently using is #140 Golden Beige (with warm yellow undertones) and it suits my skintone to a T. All foundations should come with an easy-to-use pump and this one delivered. Straight up, aces to the packaging, L’Oreal. I actually like them! Twenty four hour hold hogwash aside, these are pretty darn good makeup. While I’m obviously highly sceptical about 24 hour hold claim, I discovered something quite surprising about the foundations. Still, when I see a claim like that, you know that I’d want to bust those claims. Seriously, who actually wears foundation for that long? Unless you fell asleep with your makeup on and expect it to still look like new when you wake up, you’ll be calling B.S. When the new L’Oreal Infallible 24H liquid and powder foundations landed on my desk for review, I won’t deny that there was quite a lot of eye-rolling at the “24 hour hold, 24 hour comfort” claim. Okay, maybe not in such a violent way, but you know what I mean. Let me guess that if you were to see the words “lasts 24 hours” on a beauty product, especially makeup, you’d be rolling your eyes so hard, I’ll need to smack the back of your head with a clipboard to get your eyes right-side up again.
