"This is one of the best foundation dupes in the entire drugstore. L'Oréal Infallible matches Dior Forever's coverage, wear time, and matte finish almost exactly. The shade range is also comparable. If you're spending $55 on Dior Forever, try this first."
My verdict
L'Oréal Infallible 24H Fresh Wear is one of the most convincing luxury dupes in all of makeup. The coverage is full and buildable, the matte finish is nearly identical to Dior Forever, and the longevity is within an hour of the original. Side by side at the six-hour mark, both foundations look fresh, transfer-proof, and flawless. The main difference is on application: Dior's formula glides on more smoothly and blends with less effort, while L'Oréal is slightly thicker and requires a bit more work to blend seamlessly. Once set, the results are virtually indistinguishable. At 76% savings, L'Oréal Infallible is the foundation dupe that convinced me that drugstore makeup has genuinely closed the gap on luxury.
