Recently as I've been reading blogs and watching Youtube videos, I've noticed that a new foundation has been stealing the show when it comes to the new affordable makeup products that are out right now. Meet the new L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24H-Matte foundation. This foundation is meant to be 'lightweight, non-cakey' and have '24H matte perfection' for your skin. On the tube it says that the texture is medium, the coverage is high and of course the finish is matte. I definitely agree with this, even though I still do wear concealer under it just to make sure that I have all my dark circles and imperfections covered as I do that out of habit. The only thing I need to point out with this foundation is that because it is such a matte formula you need to make sure that you moisturise well because otherwise it does catch onto dry patches which doesn't look that great. I have oily to combination skin so usually I put a light layer of moisturiser on, but when I wear this I put a bit more on just in case I do have any dry patches that it may cling to.

Apart from that I will tell you why I love this foundation and why I had to purchase it as soon as I saw loads of amazing reviews on it.  So first of all if you do have combination to oily skin you will leap with joy to know that a foundation is completely matte as it means you will only need to use a dusting of powder on top of it, or nothing at all. For this product I use a dusting of powder just to make sure everything does set well in place and that makes it last pretty much all day. I find the coverage does hide any redness and blemishes which is fab so you don't need to worry about any spots poking through your foundation. Other things I love is that it blends like a dream which is surprising for a matte foundation. As it blends so well I use my fingers to blend it in because you don't really need a brush to do it for you. The colour I got 12 Natural Rose is a wonderful colour match for my skin as it's the closest shade to my skin that I've ever encountered from a foundation, it's only a tiny bit darker than my actual skin tone, but you can barely notice so that's good. Lastly I adore the packing because it's in a tube, so it's very practical to store, put in your handbag or take with you travelling.
