My first time using it was today. I put one coat one and it was medium coverage. It very easy to build upon and doesn't make you look cakey. My face felt super smooth. I actually went swimming with it on and when I got out the pool my foundation was still on!!!! It was about a light to medium coverage . All my pimple were still not noticeable & I loved it. However it was kinda hard to take off. Once I washed my face I used a white towel to dry it and notice make up still on. Overall I love this foundation !

What person is this pink?

9 years ago

I just bought this product in 101 a couple of days ago to try it out. Let me state.. great coverage so far. And yes, you do HAVE TO set this foundation so it doesn't move as much. But heavens.... WHY is the lightest shade not even a normal skin tone color? They might as well have made it for flamingos it is so dadgum pink. L'Oreal... For the love, PLEASE come out with much lighter skin tone options that are not pink.

Better than many expensive, high end foundations

3 months ago

I am 40 with combination skin that is sensitive and will break out with certain cosmetics. I am impressed with this foundation! I’ve been wearing and having fun with makeup for 30 years and have found many ride or die foundations only to have them be discontinued. When my favorite for 10+ years was discontinued last year, I tried even more foundations, mostly from luxury cosmetics brands. I have so many bottles of half used foundation— patchy, cakey, emphasizing texture, bad finish, not enough coverage, way too yellow, disappears off the face by hour 6, made me break out, and the list goes on. I tried this foundation after searching for top drugstore brands and knowing I like a matte finish. I was immediately impressed by the coverage. By hour 8, I was refreshed to see my makeup looked almost exactly like it did when I applied it. By hour 16, I knew we had found something good. I hoped it wouldn’t make me break out or cause a reaction on my sensitive skin, and after multiple wears over the past 3 weeks, it hasn’t! I’m thrilled. Give this foundation a chance if you like a matte finish and good, even coverage. Better than Dior in my humble opinion.

Big MESS! Sprayed all over my wall!

4 months ago

I was excited to try my newly purchased Infallible pro-matte foundation... oil -free, air light, and matte finish, with 24-hour wear time. What more could I ask for? But when I opened it and wanted to squeeze some onto my finger tip, it literally sprayed a huge splatter all over my white painted wall!! I IMMEDIATELY tried to wipe it off and it wouldn't budge! Then I proceeded to scrub with soap & water, over and over again for 20 minutes until it just about came off, along with a lot of the paint on my wall! What a mess! In my 50 years of wearing makeup, nothing like this has EVER happened to me before! Now I'm going to have to repaint my wall. I'm glad it didn't spray onto a favorite sweater. Threw it in the garbage - not going to use it again!

My favorite all time foundation was Infallible Total Cover - Sun beige. It's been discontinued and I've tried several other products, but I hate them all. I'm older. Infallible Total Cover sun beige was perfect for me and no matter which Sun Beige product I've tried, They are either too heavy or they don't blend well into my skin. After more than 30 years, I am finally going to change brands.

  Hello Kaitlyn! Thank you for your interest in our Infallible Pro Matte Foundation! The term non-comedogenic indicates that the product has a low potential for clogging pores. The presence or absence of oil in a product does not mean a product will or will not be non-comedogenic. Not all products are tested for non-comedogenicity. If the non-comedogenic claim does not appear on the product, it is not an indication the product is comedogenic. We hope this information is helpful!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kristen from Bring back the old formula.. the new one is awful Please bring back the old formula (when it was Demi matte with a black cap). This new current formula is awful. It really emphasizes pores and fine lines and creates/ emphasizes dry patches. It also wears off in some spots throughout the day and the shade I’ve been using for years is starting to make me look orange and changed throughout the day. It’s so disappointing that a great product I was loyal to has become one of the worst I’ve used. I would rather have the price go up with inflation than the quality go down.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Missnoname from Use it with the right primer and you're golden I used to be a fan of this before I discovered primer. I hadn't worn makeup in 4 years, but due to job changes I wear it every day because I have post-inflammatory pigmentation, and I have to go heavy on the concealer and foundation. As much as I love this particular foundation, today I quickly learned that it is to be paired with more of a thicker primer, not one that is so sticky. It didn't blend at all and I had to use more concealer and a different foundation. I only will wear this on my no-makeup-makeup look days because its full coverage enough to cover my acne scars, and to use my favorite highlighter and bronzer. Other than that, it's too dry looking for me for an all day wear. I'm just not as much of a fan as I used to be, but on my no-makeup-makeup days I will wear it with a primer that works with this type of foundation.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Miss No Name from Look no further for a true matte foundation! This is a great product for dry skin, or if you want a true matte finish. But, honestly, you don't need much powder after using it because it dries very matte, but it is full coverage and doesn't separate, especially if you use a great primer and setting spray. That is the only drawback for me, although I love this foundation I can't wear it every day because I wear true full coverage, and I use highlighters and contours with different foundations, and vice versa. So for me, since I like to look more hydrated, I don't use it every day. I use it mainly on the days I don't want to get down and dirty for 2 hours doing my makeup. I just make sure I use foundations in the same line so I can do a little highlight and contour, and a tiny bit of highlighter powder. All in all it's a great foundation, I just don't use it every day, I use the Pro-Glow on the other days I wear foundation.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Redd from Should have just thrown my money out the window. I have used your products for years and this is the first time I have been truly disappointed in a product. Infallible foundation is horrible. It reminds me of the cheap makeup I first used as a kid.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Arya31 from Incredible foundation This foundation is just wonderful! It's like a liquid powder foundation; but better in the sense that I am able to personalize the color and finish with liquid highlighters. I can make it as matte, soft matte to natural finish according to my needs while not compromising wear time and oil control. I plan on buying more shades for each season!

Rated 1 out of 5 by SE10 from Light Beige is really orange I bought this product in a Light Beige tone, which is what I usually wear in other foundations. I put it on for the first time and it is completely orange-tinted! I will never wear it, or buy any other Loreal make up if they can't describe their skin-tones accurately. I'm completely dissatisfied with this waste of money.

Rated 2 out of 5 by egar777 from Used to be my holy grail I’ve been using infallible pro-matte for years! It had great coverage, blended well and kept my oily skin in control. Now it’s the complete opposite with the new formula. It goes on patchy, makes me super oily after just a few hours, and definitely isn’t longwear as it seems to just melt off my face. I’m super disappointed that after using this foundation for years I now have to find something new. L’Oréal, please bring back the old formula!

Rated 1 out of 5 by JC234 from What a horrible site for a make-up company I went to search for a foundation with neutral undertones and this site is absolutely horrible. There is so little information of the color and undertones it's a joke. This website needs some major love. I can't believe this is a site from a reputable company that specialize in makeup. What joke.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Cloey from NEW formula is HORRIBLE! Based on reviews of the new formula, I was skeptical to try it. I was still able to get my hands on the old formula in certain stores until last month. The new formula is thicker and not blendable at all. Also, the shade 104 is not the same and has a more cool undertone. Finally, the new formula breaks me out where as the old one didnt. PLS BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA!!!

I've searched high and low for a perfect matte foundation that doesn't require a small loan just to purchase it. I've tried everything from MAC to Maybelleine and this "Red Cap" Pro Matte formula is by far the absolute BEST foundation I've EVER used in my ENTIRE 54 years on this earth.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Best Cookie from New Formula is Horrible! The new Pro-Matte Foundation with the RED cap is horrible!! I've been using 102 Shell Beige for years and I have been extremely satisfied. But the new formula is now thick, pasty and definitely not suited for oily skin. Moreover, the color is totally different!!! I'm not the only one complaining about this. Can they review the formula and change it back to what it was?

Rated 2 out of 5 by QnGayle from I have bought 7 of these but no colors match It is so frustrating that Loreal doesn't provide any hints on these shades. Are they Neutral? Cool? Warm? Level 1? 2? 2.5? In the packaging you cannot see the color. I have begun to think that this is deliberate to get customers to buy multiple shades. In the 24 Hour Infallible Fresh foundation I am Rose Vanilla but can not find one comparable in the Matte.

Rated 1 out of 5 by zina0528 from New formula is horrible The new formula is horrible!! I new the moment I would put on my makeup it was horrible and I couldn’t pinpoint as to why it wasn’t the same smooth finish I always had until I noticed the difference and it was no longer demi matte. I’m honestly disappointed that the formula has changed after years of purchasing. The formula leaves you’re face looking patchy, dry and is hard to blend with a brush or a beauty blender.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CER0502 from Hate the news formula Yikes the new formula is terrible. It used to go on so smooth, with light coverage and wasn’t dewy at all. And I know you keep suggesting to everyone to wear the 24 hour fresh wear but it’s certainly not even close to the same and doesn’t have the qualities I liked in the original formula of the pro matte. Maybe listen to your customers because no one wants this new formula. This stuff used to never be in stock at the stores and now no one is touching it.

I have oily, pigmented, textured skin and this is the only foundation I've ever used that made my skin look smooth and air brushed, while lasting alllll day and feeling lightweight. It was perfection!! I've gotten so many compliments on my skin while using it. I got the new red bottle and wow, it is way too matte, almost chalky looking. Please bring back the old formula. I'm so sad that I have to go on a hunt and spend a bunch more money trying to find a new foundation.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kristianne from New formula is terrible I used the original, black cap formula for years. I assumed the red cap was just a packaging change but it is not. The finish is different, the colors are different, it feels heavy and looks cakey. Very disappointed. I have now been through three different attempts at finding a new foundation and have been disappointed each time. Not pleased that they didn't say it was formula change (red cap was waste #1) and that I am now on the hunt for anything that will work (waste #2 and 3). Please bring back the old formula!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Chw921 from Not the same. Beware of the new product! Glad I’m not the only one that noticed the HUGE difference in the formula!! Super dissatisfied that it changed when they went to the red packaging. Believe what everyone says, the new packaging is completely different than the black, Demi-matte. The shades are different and the foundation is thick and doesn’t stay matte for me like the old formula. I used this for over 10 years it was my go to and the perfect shade ( I used 102/Shell Beige). Very depressing I now have to find another foundation that will not live up to Infallible’s old formula I’m sure. Just beware of this when buying!
