(2 pack) L'Oreal Paris Infallible Fresh Wear 24 Hr Powder Foundation Makeup, 220 Sand, 0.31 oz

I switched to L'Oréal Paris Infallible Up to 24H Fresh Wear Foundation-in-a-Powder after L'Oréal discontinued the Age Perfect Creamy Powder Foundation with Minerals, which had been a favorite of mine. I have dry, sensitive skin, so I make sure my skin is well moisturized before applying this foundation. I apply it with a fluffy powder brush, and I find that a little goes a long way. It provides nice, even coverage without feeling heavy or overly made up. What I especially appreciate is the staying power. Once applied, it lasts beautifully throughout the day and remains in place until I remove my makeup at night. While I was disappointed to see my previous favorite discontinued, I'm very pleased to have found a powder foundation that works so well for me. If you have dry skin, I would recommend making sure your skin is thoroughly moisturized first, but once you do, this foundation is definitely worth trying!

It’s not MAC, but it’s definitely decent for the price. I’ve been buying MAC Studio Fix for over 20 years, and honestly, I’m just tired of the constant price increases—especially when it feels like you’re getting less product every time they repackage it. They recently updated the packaging again, and it seems like there’s even less in it now. That was kind of the final push for me to look for an alternative. After searching around, I found this. No, it doesn’t cover quite like MAC, and it’s not exactly the same quality—but for $15 compared to MAC being around $40 now, it works well enough for me. It gets the job done, and for the price, I’m happy with it.
