L'oreal infallible pro matte foundation

Since seeing some of my favourite You tubers rave about the L'oreal infallible pro matte foundation I have been desperate to get my hands on it!

The first thing I would say is the colour range I found (in Boots) was a little disappointing.  There are 6 shades I think all of which are aimed at light / medium to medium skin tones,  so those who have very pale or dark skin tones will stryggle with this one.  I went with 12 Natural Rose, it's an ok match perhaps a touch too dark for my liking.

I also bought the mattifying primer, boots 3 for 2 gets me every time!
I have been using the foundation and primer for a week and overall I'm very impressed!  I use a damp beauty blender to apply it, I do one thin layer all over my face, then add a thin second layer to my cheeks where I need more coverage.  It doesn't get cakey when layered, one of the days I didn't even use concealer! I set my whole face with the Rimmel stay matte pressed powder. 

I get really oily throughout the day and tend to struggle with foundation breaking up around my nose but this held up really well.   It claims to be 24 hour wear, I never keep my face on that long!  But it did last from 7am to around 8pm so a good 13 hours!  It feels really lightweight for a foundation with such great coverage and that is so matte.

So overall I would recommend the foundation to anyone with oily skin, at £7.99 you can't go wrong!  I would put this right up there with my all time favourite Revlon Colorstay.
