I have tried so many foundations over the years, and once again i had become fed up with the one I was using of off I went to the shops in my lunch break to see what I could find. I decided to give the L'oreal Infalliblemake-up Long-Lasting Perfecting Foundation. It was £10.99 from Superdrug. I was drawn to it as it said that it lasted up to 16 hours and fights the signs of make-up meltdown. This is what i hated about previous foundation, I always felt that by the end of the end of the day or half way through a night out my make-up started to wear away.
This foundation comes in a 30ml glass bottle with a plastic lid. The foundation is dispensed with a pump action. Which is good as its easy to get out and you can't make the mistake of squeezing too much out, however it does mean that you can't get the last little bit out of the bottle, there always seems to be some left that you just can't get at. It goes onto my skin easily, I always apply moisturizer before hand and it copes well with that. It is easy to rub in and gives a nice finish. I sometimes use power over it, but not all the time. Other make up such as eye shadow and blusher go well over it as well as it gives a soft and even finish.
Once on it doesn't seem to rub off easily and my face does not get shiny, it also hides blemishes up to a point. This foundation also is SPF 15 which is handy.
I use the 015 porcelain shade as I have fair skin, there are other shades, ranging from even lighter to much darker, so should suit every skin tone.
It does last longer than other foundations, I wouldn't say it looks amazing after 16 hours, but not too bad, but I do often find myself reapplying. It is easy to take off, I use standard make-up wipes and it comes of with no trouble.
Overall a great product, does what it says it will which is what you want when spending that much money on make-up. I have also used other L'oreal productions which are just as good, such as mascara, but I will write a review about that another time!!

Advantages: This is the best foundation I have ever used, it stay's put and covers blemishes! Disadvantages: Pricey and the pump doesn't get the last bits of the product out.
Advantages: Lasts months, great match for skintone, people can't tell you're wearing it Disadvantages: Some people may think £10 is too much to spend, but it is worth it
