L’Oreal’s Infallible collection is having a resurgence and it’s hilarious to see the Infallible Pro-Matte Powder making a comeback on TikTok. I tried it, didn’t love it, but I love the regular Infallible foundation.
So I was thrilled to get my hands on the new L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte collection. I got the foundation, setting powder, the makeup extending spray, and the lip cream. The products promise to be long-wearing – the powder up to 16 hours and the foundation up to 24 hours. Now, long days I have, but I can’t remember the last time I’ve had makeup on for 24 hours – and I hope those days never come because I need my sleep!
But at this point, I’ve worn the foundation ($14.99) on a long flight, kept it on during a nap, and worn it to a packed event that wasn’t air-conditioned and I have to say I’m impressed. The makeup didn’t wear off at all! I’m the shade 108.
The powder and setting spray ($14.96) are good, but the foundation is the jewel in the crown of this collection. It works well on its own and doesn’t even need to be powdered because it does have a matte finish. If you have normal or drier skin, it might actually feel dry on the skin and enhance dryness, so it’s best to moisturize well before using this foundation, and the formula can handle it.
As the foundation sets and warms on your skin, it actually looks better and better, and I have to say that the foundation looked best a couple of hours after I had worn it.
And that takes me to the best thing about this collection: it photographs exceptionally well! It is full-coverage so you will have to contour and highlight to bring some of the natural colour back into your skin, but as long as you do that, you’ll look amazing in your pictures.
If you like full-coverage foundation and want something truly long-wearing, check out this collection.

Using sunscreen is one thing, but finding one that you love is another. This Vichy Ideal Soleil 100% Mineral Filter sunscreen has become one of my favourites, because you put it on and it truly lasts the whole day. Not only does it make your skin look better because of the tint, but it also looks natural and doesn’t have a whitish cast thanks to how finely ground the zinc is in the formula and the little bit of tint makes it look natural. I’m not going to lie, but it does wash me out a bit, but I’m wearing makeup on top so it’s not so bad.
The foundation is medium coverage and dries really quickly so it’s best to work in small parts of your face instead of doing everything at once. I also preferred to use my fingers for the application because I know that this foundation will dry hard on the brush and then the final product on my face will be streaky.
The Pro Longwear Concealer is a creamy concealer that comes in a little pump bottle. I found that it was easy to apply and blend and it ends up being a matte finish. The concealer is of a thicker consistency than the foundation, so it covers more. I really like it for putting on my eyelids because it doesn’t crease for the entire day! The only other product that’s been able to stand up to my eyelids has been Urban Decay Primer Potion, and I have to say that I’m going to prefer using the concealer because it’s the same colour as my eyelids and will cover any veins or darkness, which the Primer Potion did not do.
I love checking out natural shampoos and conditioners because it means that I can give my hair a break from silicone laden products and use something that’s potentially going to help my hair!
The Bosphorous is the river that one crosses to get to Istanbul, and this scent was made by Bertrand Duchaufour as a representation of that journey.
