Now here's the most requested blog post and Youtube video on my Facebook fan page: L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte and Maybelline Fit Me foundations! These are two of the most awaited foundation releases from both brands; both products made by the same company, but totally different performance. Which one is the best and worth the purchase? Find out!
THE LOWDOWN:
L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte (P700.00) is the follow up release to Infallible 24 Hr. Liquid Foundation here in the Philippines; it boasts of a medium to full coverage finish that lasts for 24 hours.
Maybelline Fit Me (P399.00), which is dubbed as the best- selling foundation franchise in the US, has finally arrived and boasts of medium to full coverage finish that helps control oil and stays matte for hours.
QUALITY:
Maybelline's formula is moisturizing liquid that builds up easily and I'm impressed that it doesn't leave a streaky finish even with minimal blending.
L'Oreal's formula is semi- creamy, feels lightweight despite the formula, and finish is not caky.
The foundations have good formulas, respectively.
WINNER: IT'S A TIE!
COVERAGE:
Both products yield medium to full coverage, but I seem to get better coverage and skin when I'm using L'Oreal.
WINNER: L'OREAL
STAYING POWER:
L'Oreal for me. My face turned slick and oily with Maybelline, plus it oxidized at day's end. :(
WINNER: L'OREAL
CONCLUSION:
L'Oreal is not my most favorite drugstore foundation brand for nothing and Infallible Pro-Matte has proven to me again why. Infallible Pro Matte is one of the best full coverage drugstore foundations locally and hands down, one that has the best staying power too; a friend who works for an agency and who only swears by the waterproof-ness of KVD Lock It like me uses this on a daily basis like me too!
WINNER:
L'OREAL INFALLIBLE PRO MATTE
VERDICT: SPEND!
How about you? Are you Team Fit Me or Team Infallible? :)

Just finished watching your youtube video of it. Ive been waiting for ur review on this products coz im really confuse what to purchase since they are both on the hype right now. Very helpful ung mga comments mo ms m and i made my decision to get loreal infallible pro-matte coz i see how good it looks on you and it will save me from concealer 😂 Coz u said it gives full coverage without being cakey.
ReplyDeleteThey're bpth good po pero sa Maybelline pa rin po ako kasi madali sya ilagay sa face and yan po kasi ung ng suit sa skin tone ko, and gusto ko po tlga ung quality ng foundation sa balat ko, makinis po at di malagkit
ReplyDeleteInitially, I was torn between the two because a lot are raving about it. But it's L'Oreal Infallible for me after reading this and watching your video. Hands down. Thanks for the review. Gotta go get one!
ReplyDeletethank you again Ms. Martha for doing this comparison :) Sobrang helpful po :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this review! I've been torn between those two. Planning to save up for yhe Loreal. Thank you for the info! 💕
ReplyDeleteYessss!!! Been waiting for this, Ate! ❤ I have them both din but mas okay sakin ang Maybelline, siguro kasi lightest shade nakuha ko kaya pag nagoxidize sakin tama lang while yung Infallible is just the right shade na pag nagoxidize, hello dark spots 😭 but with Infallible Pro-Matte powder it is perfect!!!! 😍 i love them both. ❤ L'Oreal is currently my everyday foundation lalo na pag nagmamadali ako. Si Maybelline kasi walang pump kaya ang hirap hehe. Will watch your video now ate. 😘
ReplyDeleteI already watched the video about this on your YT and sobrang gusto ko na magkaroon ng L'Oreal infallible pro matte! 😭😭😭 I have sooper oily skin kasi and the only funda na meron ako is Maybelline Dream Velvet. As in yun lng tipid na tipid pko gumamit. Sana talaga maka bili nko. 😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteParang Team Fit Me po ako. Hehe maa malala po yung pag oxidize sa akin ng L'oreal. And parang Foundation day ang ganap lagi haha pero pang matagalan djn po talaga pero may tendency na mag cake pero yung Fit Me po, parang my skin but better and medyo di po malakas mag oxidize sa akin.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I have for the longest time been weighing which one of the two to purchase. Thanks for helping me finally decide- I will be getting the Loreal one as my first ever foundation! I am a college student on a budget and I am new to makeup, so I need something that will be worth my penny. I hope this will work! Wish me luck and thank you, always!
ReplyDeleteHi Ms. Martha! Actually I was looking forward to a half face test between the 2 sa video, like Fit Me on the right side of your face and Infallible on the left. Teehee! But then again, the comparison talk you made was good enough for people to decide which one is better for them. I for one would like Infallible for my skin. As I said in my YT comment, L'oreal is my fave drugstore brand!
ReplyDeleteYayyyy! Kahit maybelline girl ako parang mas bet ko din ang si loreal kaya Team both! 😂 I would really love to try them both! Thanks ate martha! 😊💖
ReplyDeleteIntense na labanan! 🙌
ReplyDeleteFor drugstore foundie I only trust L'oreal coz I've been slave by their true match line for quite a long years bafore. hehehe
Now I wonder if this infallible pro matte is better than the true match?
p.s What causes the oxidation of foundations Ms. M? I always have the same experience whenever I use Maybelline's Dream matte mousse foundation in my face. Is it the the acidity?
L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte is really awesome. It covers my chickenpox scars without much effort. L'Oreal often holds sales so you can get it for as low as 350 pesos!
ReplyDeleteTip: If you also own L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation, you can mix it with Pro-Matte so it will glide more easily. Coverage isn't affected at all.
Eto na ang pinakahihintay ng lahat! I have the L'Oréal Infallible pro-matte powder that I got on sale. For sure bagay siya gamitin for setting the foundation. I am now convinced to buy the Infallible foundation. Abangers na ako sa next sale ng L'Oréal! Haha. Sobrang thank you po for this Ms.M. ❤
ReplyDeleteBeen waiting for this! Have been using Infallible for a few months now. It's the best-est! But I can't wait to try Fit Me. :)

super pretty mo madam. mas type ko ang fit me based on their exp and ill try din sa mall maganda talaga sya long lasting pero magnda dn naman yung loreal
ReplyDeleteI am a total Loreal baby!!! I think 700 is worhth the hype! It stays for almost a day. Being in school for a loooooong day can be a total waste if i used other foundations other than Infallible. And thank God Loreal came up with this formula! Life saving moment! *ting* haha! Thank you for this great products reviews ate! Planning to try the Maybelline Fit Me next week! Sending all my hugs && love to you ate! Have a great weekend!!! Loveyou!!!! <3 Take care always!!!
ReplyDeleteBet na bet ko din talaga yung infallible ate martha, yan yung always kong ginagamit pagUmaalis ako. Super ganda nya sa face, Ang gusto ko sa kanya is kapag nagooil ako di sya naghuhulas. Kaya bet ko talaga yan!
ReplyDeleteFinally! Naopen ko na rin blog mo. Anyway, i already watched your vlog before read g this. Been planning yo biy Maybelline fit me poreless foundation, nag dodoubt ba tuloy ako sa oil control nya. Thank you for the review!
ReplyDeleteWatched it already and had a change of heart haha! Mas gusto ko dati yung Maybelline fit me kasi mas natural ang dating. But then mas maganda pala si Loreal infallible, especially for oily skin. Thank you for this, kasi balak ko talaga bumili nun. Pero how about yung Maybelline fit me concealer, natry mo na po ba? :)
ReplyDeleteI always wanted the Pro-matte, and when it was available here I didn't pass a chance to own one. Even if the Maybelline Fit Me is also hyped, it didn't really appeal to me because of the reviews I've watched. So it was Infallible Pro-Matte for the Win!
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
