Product Overview and Claims
The L'Oréal Infallible Full Wear Concealer promises full coverage, waterproof and transfer-resistant wear, and fade resistance. It's marketed as ideal for concealing imperfections, minimizing redness and scars, and shaping the face. The brand boasts this is their most pigmented and full-coverage concealer, featuring an extra-large applicator for single-stroke application.
Application and First Impressions
The concealer's application is smooth and blends easily using a beauty sponge. A little product goes a long way; I found that using too much could result in a cakey finish. The large applicator does aid in achieving quick, broad coverage.
Mid-Day Check-in: Oil Control and Creasing
After several hours, my face showed signs of oiliness typical of my skin type. Blotted with tissue paper, the concealer still held up well, though there was some minor creasing under the eyes. However, the coverage remained surprisingly intact.
9-Hour Wear Test Results
Nine hours after application, the concealer exhibited mild creasing and some slight clinging to the under-eye texture. Despite this, the full coverage remained impressive. It performed better in terms of longevity compared to other concealers in previous reviews.
Comparison with Other Concealers
A side-by-side comparison with the Maybelline Age Rewind and other concealers (mentioned in the video), like the Covergirl True Blend and Tarte Shape Tape, showed this L'Oréal concealer offers fuller coverage, though some find it clings more to texture than other choices. The Maybelline Age Rewind, for example, had better wear on textured skin.
Final Verdict
The L'Oréal Infallible Full Wear Concealer provides excellent, long-lasting full coverage, even after nine hours. While some creasing under the eyes is noticeable, this is a minor drawback considering its impressive staying power. Compared to others, it offers a more full coverage look, but does cling more to textured skin. It's a worthy addition to a makeup bag, particularly for those seeking high coverage that lasts a full day. The choice between this and competitors depends on your specific priorities regarding texture and oil control.
