Foundation is one of the main cosmetics, without which it is impossible to do even the simplest nude makeup. It not only masks all imperfections and evens out the complexion, but also perfectly protects the skin from sun rays in the summer and from frosty air in the winter.
In this article we will look at the palette of shades of L'Oreal foundation, which has occupied a leading position for a long time.
Peculiarities
Products from L’Oreal regularly delight their customers with various new products. The foundation of this brand can be selected for absolutely any skin type and a wide variety of shades.
In addition, manufacturers have taken care of the quality of cosmetics. A positive point for buyers of L'Oreal products is the affordable price.
Palette of shades
This brand has several lines, in each of which you can find a tone that suits you. Since manufacturers have developed a new innovative technology, which means that new foundations can independently adapt to a certain skin type, accordingly, the choice of shades has become somewhat smaller.
L'Oreal Alliance Perfect
L'Oreal Alliance Perfect foundation has 9 shades in its line, which can perfectly adapt to a specific skin, thanks to the reflective particles present. The palette includes pink and beige shades.
L'Oreal Infaillible 24h
L'Oreal Infable 24 foundation has received a very large number of positive reviews, as it is able to lay down in a very thin layer, which does not create the effect of a mask on the face. This product perfectly masks imperfections and does not require the use of powder. The palette of shades is quite large - from the lightest to natural beige.
L'Oreal Infaillible 240
L'Oreal Infable 240 foundation can not only perfectly mask imperfections and moisturize the skin, but also smooth out unevenness. In addition, using this cream, which is saturated with oxygen, the skin does not become clogged and is able to breathe. This product also has good durability, which allows you to look good throughout the day.
L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique
On the Internet you can find many positive reviews about L'Oreal Nude Magic foundation, which in its consistency resembles a balm. It perfectly masks enlarged pores, smooths out wrinkles and creates the effect as if there is no makeup on the face. This product does not pollute the skin and maintains the necessary moisture balance.
L'Oreal Lumi Magique
If you don’t know which cosmetic product to choose in order to disguise all the imperfections on your face, but at the same time, the texture should be light and invisible, then feel free to choose L’Oreal Lumi Magic foundation, about which you probably won’t find a single negative review. It is very easy to apply and distribute, and it can give your skin the perfect glow, masking all the imperfections.
L'Oreal True Match
L'Oreal True Match foundation has won many fans who leave only positive reviews, because it can not only disguise fine wrinkles, but also hide age spots. Plus, it gives your skin a matte finish without the need for loose powder. True Match will protect your face from ultraviolet rays and will delight you with flawless makeup throughout the day.
How to choose the right shade
In order for the foundation to hide all imperfections, but at the same time look natural, you should be very careful when purchasing it. You need to choose it not only by skin color, but also by type.
- Even if you plan to order products online, go to the store and take a few of the most suitable shades (cosmetic stores always have testers) and apply them to the back of your hand. Do not forget that in daylight the color will look completely different, so it is better to test the foundation near a window. You should not choose a shade lighter or darker.
- Once you have decided on one color, apply a small amount to your face and go outside, so you will see how it will look directly during makeup.
- If you are completely satisfied with the end result, then you have chosen the ideal tone; if not, try looking for something else. Don't be afraid to ask consultants for help if you don't quite understand what shade of cosmetic product is closest to your skin.
How to use it correctly
You can apply the foundation in several ways:
If you have dry skin, then it will be convenient for you to apply the beauty product using a sponge. The movements should be patting, so you can smooth out all the scales and distribute it well; if it smears, the skin will peel off and the tone will turn out uneven.
Ladies with oily skin should apply the beauty product using patting movements with their fingers. You can also use a foundation brush, but it is not convenient to use on all areas. If pimples are present, they should be covered with concealer.
Reviews
We collected real reviews from women about L'Oreal mattifying foundation, and also found out an expert's opinion about popular new products.
Albina, 27 years old
I would like to leave my review about the mattifying foundation L'Oreal Infable and Alliance Perfect, since I was lucky enough to try these two beauty products from a popular manufacturer. When I started having freckles, which I haven't had all my life, I first purchased Maybelline foundation, which caught my attention due to its design.
It applied quite easily, but was absolutely unstable. When it ran out, I decided to spend a little more money and bought Max Factor foundation, but I completely threw it away because it caused an allergic reaction in me. When I didn’t even think about finding something worthwhile, the consultant offered me a remedy from L’Oreal, which I am incredibly happy about.
In addition to the fact that it carefully hides all the unevenness, my freckles are now almost invisible, and the UV protection prevents their appearance. It applies very easily and lasts throughout the day.
Expert opinion: Of course, the presented lines are a very good choice, especially for UV protection. However, I would recommend that you use extra sunscreen if you don't like your freckles that much.
Victoria, 34 years old
Previously, I used the Bourgeois foundation, about which I had the most positive reviews, but when it was not available in the store, I purchased L'Oreal alliance perfect perfect fusion foundation, which I now use regularly. A significant advantage for me is its smoothing effect, which will no longer be superfluous at my age. Plus, despite my acne-prone skin, it covers it up beautifully without the need for concealer.
Expert opinion: I also advise you to try the L'Oreal infallible foundation, about which you can also read a lot of good reviews.
Yana, 25 years old
Could I have ever thought that my problem could be hidden with the help of cosmetics? No! Until I read the reviews and tried the L'Oreal Infable foundation. A wonderful product at an affordable price.
Expert opinion: This cream does its job perfectly thanks to its innovative formula that carefully masks all imperfections.

Reviews
Women share reviews of proven products from their favorite brand, and an experienced makeup artist evaluates the result and talks about new products.
Anastasia, 39 years old
I can’t imagine my life without foundation. I bought Ballet foundation back in school and have been constantly experimenting ever since. I appreciate light textures, so I love and respect L'Oreal Lumi Magic foundation and am ready to share my reviews. A tired face needs hydration and a healthy, radiant color, and the light fluid seems to illuminate the skin from the inside and does not require reapplication. The tone evens out without being too yellowish, and the slightly oily texture is ideal for the cold season.
Katya, 28 years old
I heard a lot of reviews from beauty bloggers about L'Oreal True Match foundation and couldn't pass up the new product, especially since the brand has outdone itself in the beauty of the packaging. The foundation is convenient to use as a highlighter; reflective particles literally make the skin glow from the inside. The cream smells very nice, absorbs instantly and immediately creates a powder effect. So this is my favorite for today.
Ira, 20 years old
I love everything beautiful and couldn’t pass by the packaging of the L’Oreal Alliance Perfect Perfect Radiance foundation and have already written a review about it. The cream coped with the task perfectly - it covered the pinkish skin tone and did not leave any streaks or greasy shine. Soft, silky skin pleased me throughout the day, and I even forgot about my problems and redness.
