Unless you’ve been completely disconnected from social media during these past few years, you’ve likely heard about L’Oreal’s Infallible face powder, which has transformed everyday people into stunning porcelain-like figures. You can now snag it on Amazon for around $12—if it’s in stock.
I may as well be living under a rock, as the only reason I even know about this miraculous powder is thanks to my 15-year-old daughter, who keeps me updated on the latest trends. Recently, she sent me a batch of TikTok videos, and one featured a flawless teen using this powder. I admit I rolled my eyes; I’ve been bombarded with young influencers pushing skin products, and it can get old. Plus, I’m nearing 46, and face powders often make me look older than I am.
But then, I saw more videos showcasing the impressive results, and I thought it might be a camera trick. While at the grocery store, I noticed that the entire section of L’Oreal Infallible products was completely empty. Despite my initial reluctance, I found myself wanting the powder even more.
I checked my local Target online, only to discover they were out of stock too. I decided to check Amazon, only to see many shades sold out. I realized I had no clue what shade to choose, and I’d need to see it in person. In a frenzy, I called my daughter to discuss our quest for this coveted powder. After calling ULTA, only to find they were sold out as well, my determination grew. I was desperate for this product, even more than I wanted my youthful glow back.
Finally, I reached my local drug store, which is usually quiet. The friendly associate confirmed they had it. I couldn’t get there fast enough, feeling as if I were on a secret mission to snag this elusive powder.
After selecting a shade, I hurried to my car and began applying it. I was skeptical but hopeful. I have fair, sensitive skin that tends to redden, so powders usually don’t work well for me. They often exaggerate my wrinkles instead of covering them. I had tried countless options in the past, and after one bad experience in college, I swore off powder entirely.
However, this powder turned out to be worth the effort. Even if you’re not a makeup enthusiast and are just looking for something to brighten your complexion, this is a must-try. And for those who love their makeup collection, you’ll likely adore it too. I’ve seen makeup artists rave about its versatility.
Here’s a snapshot of my bare skin right after showering, showing all the redness. After applying a primer and the L’Oreal Infallible powder, I was amazed at the results. I used the sponge for application, tapping it into my skin rather than sweeping it on. It’s buildable, allowing me to cover up imperfections beautifully.
If you had seen me in the parking lot that day, you’d have noticed a middle-aged woman admiring her flawless complexion in the mirror—without any visible traces of powder. It doesn’t dry out or fade throughout the day, and it doesn’t highlight my pores or irritate my sensitive skin.
Here’s a close-up of me a few hours later, wearing full makeup. I used the powder as eyeshadow with minimal highlighter, blush, and mascara. It doesn’t look cakey, blends seamlessly with other products, and cleverly conceals my crow’s feet, making it the best makeup product I’ve found.
So, if you’re curious about the buzz surrounding this product (or if you’ve never heard of it), here’s your official recommendation: if you only buy one makeup item, let it be this one. Grab it at ULTA (if available) or on Amazon (where it’s slightly cheaper).
