L'Oréal Paris Liquid Foundation, Full Coverage, Lasting Wear, With Vitamin C and SPF 25, Infallible 32H Fresh Wear, 365 Deep Golden

Tried it today for the first time, the liquid is more runny than I'm used too but it applied well and is a good colour match for my skin tone (ivory 20) i applied a makeup setter afterwards and did a workout 30 minutes later, also been out walking in the heatwave, I can say for sure that it isnt transfer proof as I've spent the day dabbing the sweat from my face with a dry cloth and the foundation has transferred onto the cloth, I also wouldnt say its 100% waterproof either. Overall it's a nice foundation and stays looking good for the whole day

Its okay, only use this once, wait and see how it goes on few more days.

I have been using the foundation for several years. It provides an even skin tone and is good at preventing shine

Not the best foundation I’ve had but not the worst, made my skin look dry though and didn’t feel it lived up to the hype

I've had this product before but I'm finding this one very watery. The colour is great and it stays on for a long time but it's not going to last long with the rate it comes out of the pump. Will have to see how long it lasts as to whether I buy it again or not.

Long review because I wanted to give you all the details I find helpful when looking for foundation online: formula, finish, feel, coverage, and longevity, plus my skin type and colour match in case they also apply to you.I love this foundation for everyday wear. It’s solid medium coverage but buildable to high medium (though not to opaque full coverage) and comes in a fairly good variety of depths and undertones. Sadly the deeper ones are not as easily available on Amazon, but they do exist.Finish:It leaves a lovely skin-like radiant finish. While it’s not overly dewy or oily looking, this is definitely not a matte foundation without powder. It works well mixed with other foundations / colour mixing drops if you tailor your foundation. I have also found it performs well mixed with squalane or highlighter for a proper glow - while it’s definitely ‘fresh’ looking as advertised, it’s not a super megawatt radiant foundation on its own.Formula, feel & coverage:The formula is very very liquid. This means it’s easily spread and blended, but be careful of drips if you dispense on the back of your hand. Blends into hairline easily due to its fluid texture. It’s silicone based but it plays well with water based primers too, and doesn’t leave that silicone masklike feel on your face. I apply it with a foundation brush to get good coverage, then buff it out with a dense rounded blending brush or a barely damp beauty sponge to eliminate any streaks and get it to sit properly on my nose. Easily covers redness and mild hyperpigmentation without heaps of concealer. Note that it doesn’t dry down straight away which means it’s great for blending cream products on top of, but also that if you’re going in with powder blush/bronzers/etc it’s a good idea to set those areas with translucent powder first to avoid patchiness or muddiness.Longevity:In terms of wear, it doesn’t cake or go especially oily over the day. Some minor creasing around my eyes (happens with all makeup on me) but this is easily fixed with a damp sponge - because it doesn’t ‘set solid’ in the way foundations like Double Wear or Revlon Colorstay do it’s forgiving for touch ups. I can easily get a full work day out of it - while it does start to fade slightly around the 6-8 hour mark, it fades evenly without going patchy or cakey.Transfer:The only downside with this foundation is that it is not transfer proof (though very few fresh/dewy/radiant foundations are) so if you’re taking a mask on and off you’ll want to do so carefully and set your nose and cheeks with powder and setting spray.My skin type:I have slightly sensitive combination acne-prone skin with some texture, a dry nose, some large pores and mild leftover post-acne pigmentation. Unlike L’Oreal True Match liquid foundation, this doesn’t break me out at all.Colour guidance because it’s hard buying foundation online:My natural skin tone is fair-light warm/golden toned - I am NC15 in Mac, 1W1 Bone in Double Wear, a mixture of 1.1N and 1.2YG in The Ordinary, and can wear both Deauville and Gobi in NARS sheer glow. My match for this foundation was 20 Ivory. Now I am fake tanned I wear either Linen (warm toned, light) or Vanilla Beige (warm/neutral, light-medium).

Easy to apply.

I have spent years paying for expensive foundations, always looking for the 'perfect' one for my skin. During lockdown, I decided to experiment with the more reasonably priced ones and that's when I discovered this little gem!The colour match is spot on for me, I use porcelain due to my pale skin. It spreads nicely and blends well. It's buildable so the level of coverage is completely in my hands, and the cost is so reasonable for such a high-quality product.
