Cosmetics Makeup Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Longwear Foundation, Ivory Beige, 1 fl oz

I am the whitest white girl you ever did see. I get this in the lightest shade (ivory) and it's still not a true match / is slightly too dark with a bit of a pink undertone. Why do I keep using it? Because it's the best drugstore foundation I've found overall. Without any foundation on, I have an uneven complexion with redness in my cheeks, chin and the creases of my nostrils. I also have dry skin that can be a bit flaky. If you're in my boat, here's what I do to make this foundation work for me:1) Wash my face with warm water (no soap), exfoliate gently with a wet washcloth, and rub in a small drop of plain olive oil while my face is still moist, then pat dry with a towel. (Olive oil won't clog your pores, is great for reducing visible inflammation naturally, and contains many antioxidants to fight aging like those 100-year old mediterranean people with perfect skin who use olive oil for everything.)2) I apply a pea-to-dime sized amount of foundation to the back of my hand. Using a stippling brush (I use the Real Techniques one - cheap, works great, lasts forever without shedding fibers), I dab this onto my cheeks first, then chin, then blend in everywhere else.Some people complain this foundation doesn't spread well / dries too quickly / showcases dry patches, but using this method with olive oil on the skin beforehand, particularly for those of us with dry skin, I believe eliminates those problems. It spreads beautifully and smoothly with olive oil as a barrier to the skin - I wouldn't try putting this directly on my skin type because my skin is too dry. Your mileage may vary.The coverage is really pretty remarkable in my opinion. I require a medium coverage but prefer full-coverage and this is a great solution. It erases my redness and gives me a nice, even tone without maximizing pores or causing breakouts. Speaking of breakouts, it does okay with covering acne, but I'd recommend going over the pimple by putting a tiny dot of foundation on your clean fingertip and tapping it onto the pimple (after the main / full face application) just to ensure it's evenly covered.I sometimes have to reapply this product if I have a particularly long day, but it's the best looking foundation I've worn for a good price so I don't really mind. To me, it's not worth paying 3x as much to only apply once a day with a more premium brand. Before I had kids, I was a runway model for years so I've had every high-dollar foundation out there applied to my face and I STILL think people are nuts for spending so much on trendier foundations. This foundation, when properly applied, does 80% of the job for 30% of the price. That's a trade-off I can live with.The one thing I don't like about it (aside from the lightest shade not being light enough, which is the case with virtually all drugstore foundations) is that it does transfer onto clothing etc. if your face comes into contact with it. Naturally, I really like hugging my husband, but he's taller than me so a hug often results in a powdery "face smear" right around armpit level of his shirts - tooootally annoying. If he's wearing black it can look like he got in a fight with a bag of powdered sugar and lost. So, buyer beware - keep your face away from anything you don't want a ghostly face print on.Overall, this is a great product at an excellent price point and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Full coverage makeup, last long on face and its sweat resistant. Easy to blend in to the skin

Color was a perfect match for me. Covers blemishes better than more expensive product I have tried in the past.

The package arrived on time and did not leak, however it does not match my skin tone and the sensation it leaves on the skin is thicker than other makeup. Overall it is a good product for the price.

This is definitely a full coverage product. I struggle with oily skin and this definitely helps tone that down. It can look cakey on dry skin when I put it on my sister so beware of your skin type before you buy. Lasted the full 24 hours on me with my setting spray.

I am 65 and when I was young I had very oily skin and breakouts. My skin now is much improved, but the years are showing on my face. This foundation provides medium coverage. It is not too heavy. It gives me a younger appearance and smooths out rough areas. It also covers some red spots and freckles. This is my favorite foundation for my skin type.

I don’t know if it’s going to oxidize on everybody, but it definitely did on me and I’ve tried it several times with different primers different bases SPF or nothing at all and it always looks oxidized. It looked OK on my pores and was pretty thin/light with good medium coverage, and felt skin like but can’t get over the color so it’s not going to work.

As a makeup up enthusiast on a budget, I definitely recommend this foundation for oily skin. I wear this without primer and it stays on throughout my day/shift. I do use primer spray sometimes, but not always at still get asked how I get my makeup to last all day. It’s definitely this foundation. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. Plus, you can’t beat that price. I wear 105/106 in the summer and 104 in the winter. I’m Mexican so I’m naturally tan, just as a reference.

I was looking for a foundation that didn’t wipe off. This seems to do the trick. I will definitely buy again.

No es el tono que aparece, es mas claro

The media could not be loaded. En pocas palabras: Me he enamorado completamente de la base. Conocía físicamente la base más jamás la había probado y después de haberlo hecho no entiendo como es que no la probé antes. Soy de piel grasa (promedio) con tendencia a que me salgan granitos, entonces encontrar una base que no me tape los poros o provoque reacción es realmente una tarea difícil. Tiene una textura ligera para el tipo de cobertura que tiene, ya que no es ni fluida ni espesa, al igual que tampoco sentí tuviera aroma alguno, lo cual es bueno. El empaque está bien, solo hay que tener cuidado de no derramar producto, aunque me gustaría tuviera algún dispensador, definitivamente también la compraría. Tiene una cobertura media construible a media alta y aunque la apliqué con esponja, brocha y dedos, me gusta más el acabado con esponja. Algo importante a mencionar es que seca MUY rápido, de manera que lo ideal es trabajarla por partes para evitar parches. Su terminado es mate y aunque no hace falta sellarla, sí encontré que duraba un poco más si sellaba con polvos la zona T. Respecto a duración, en mi persona a las 5-6 horas ya me empezó a salir grasa, más no se botó la base, retirando el exceso de grasa una sola vez me duró la base en perfecto estado unas 8 hrs, pues al final del día la zona más gastada era la frente, nariz y barbilla pero esas zonas son las que más contacto tuvieron con mis manos y mi careta y cubrebocas, lo cual me lleva a que la transferencia que tiene sobre la ropa u objetos es mínima y con una resistencia al sudor y agua, alta. Para retirarla tampoco tuve inconvenientes, se retira fácil con un paño y agua tibia, con pads y agua micelar o con toallitas desmaquillantes; por último y como referencia mi tono es el 105 y me quedó perfecto, no oxidó ni cambió su color a lo largo del día. En conclusión, cumple lo que promete y es una compra que vale cada centavo. Cuando se termine en definitiva volveré a comprarla, estoy muy satisfecha con ella.

Best foundation for oily skin. It has a matte finish sit in place allday

Soy súper blanca con subtono amarillo. Me cuesta mucho trabajo encontrar bases que cumplan con esta características. Ya llevo un tiempo usando diversas bases de loreal pero siempre me quedaban un poco obscuras aunque fueran las mas claras. Esta base es ideal! Cobertura media como lo indica. Tengo marquitas de acné y las cubre bastante bien.
