L'Oreal Infallible Foundation Review

 So when I found out Boots decided to discontinue L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint I was gutted. It's the only foundation I have found that I had no complaints about; it really was the perfect foundation. Of course I had to find something new to replace my foundation and quick as the bottle was nearly empty. I always use Mac foundation for nights out but on a day to day basis I use a drugstore brand as they do the job for daily wear.

So off I popped to my local boots with a swatch of my current foundation on my hand to try and replace it. I came across L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation for £6.99. I thought because it was L'Oreal it would be a good replacement for the Nude Magique. There are 6 different shades in this foundation online but only 4 in my local store which didn't give me a great selection to choose from. I got it in the shade Sand which was a good match and got the primer to go with it.

I had read reviews on this and everyone was saying how good it was so I was looking forward to trying it especially as I have an oily T-Zone and the reviews were saying this was great at combating shiny areas on your face. 

It has really good coverage and is a lovely colour, a great match to my skin. I thought it might have been a bit cakey on my skin as it has quite a thick texture but it is really smooth and isn't cakey at all. You have to work with it quick as it does dry on the skin quite quickly so if you buy it make sure and blend it in quick. 

Now to the main reason why I bought it; it saying it stays matte for 24 hours. Why you would be wearing foundation for 24 hours is beyond me but whatever floats your boat! I was so disappointed with the foundation for this reason, my T-Zone was so shiny with this foundation and that's after setting it with powder. I looked at my reflection at work after 4 hours wearing it and couldn't believe how shiny my nose was! Thank god for translucent powder! 

Overall this foundation is really nice but I think I may try out a few other foundations as I'm not fully happy with it. I seen that Maybelline has a foundation that's similar to the Nude Magigue so I might give that a try next. Any recommendations welcome as I'm on the hunt to find one as good as Nude Magique.
