L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Foundation, Ivory Buff

I love this foundation so its hard to rate this. I purchase two shades and have to mix them for my skin tone; 101 and 102. When I saw they were making a 101.5 I bought two of them, so excited! Well, much to my displeasure, the 101.5 is DARKER than the 102 :( Both got returned and I guess I get to keep mixing two different shades.

I heard so many good things about this foundation. It took me a while to really try it out because I could not find a shade that worked well for me. I ended up with Sun Beige which was okay but I would not buy it again. I need something in a similar tone just more neutral and Sun beige is more yellow. As far as wear time, it was okay but did not wear or last all day. The coverage was less but more apparent if that makes sense. Basically, it looked like makeup on the skin and I needed concealer in areas I normally can skip with my color stay foundation. It did work better to help control my oil than many, many other drugstore foundations I have tried but again not as well as my current foundation. I did have to blot a few times and sometimes my makeup did begin to separate. If you have dry skin this will definitely cling to dry spots or blemishes. After a few uses, I chose not to apply all over my face and to apply in a similar way to how I use the Color stay foundation. Which is to only apply in areas needed by stippling and blending out into the skin. It did not do nearly as good of a job and I needed more product than with the other foundation. I ended up only using on days I didnt have anything important to do because it wears off in places and does not control oil as well. Another issue I had was if I wore sweaters or my jacket happened to rub my jawline or chin it would just wipe the makeup away and all coverage would be gone. I dont hate it and would be willing to use it again if my other foundation is unavailable. See more
