When I’m in search of a foundation, I want something that will make my skin look practically flawless. Who doesn’t, right? And as a woman with a skin tone that’s been hard to match over the years, I’ve slowly progressed from settling for a shade that matches my skin as best it could to finding a foundation that not only matches, but gives me the look I want. Now that I know what I’m looking for, I wanted to give the Dior Forever 24H Wear High Perfection Skin-Caring Matte Foundation a try (phew, that’s a mouthful). After hearing about how popular it is, I was interested in testing it out myself and seeing if it was worthy of all it’s praise. Read my full review, ahead.

The Value: A decent price for a prestige product
I think the Forever 24H Wear High Perfection Skin-Caring Matte Foundation is a foolproof product that can work for skin that isn’t as sensitive as mine. It applies beautifully, it’s buildable, and it has a lovely matte finish that lasts and lasts. Since Dior is a prestige beauty brand, I was actually really impressed with the price point. To spend $52 for 1 fl. oz. of a high-end foundation is reasonable; you can treat yourself to a little piece of luxury guilt-free.

With its medium to full coverage, ability to resist sweat, and lasting power, the Infallible 24 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation is a budget-friendly product worth checking out.

Our Verdict: It does what it claims, but be weary if you have sensitive skin
This foundation does exactly what claims: it delivers a medium coverage, a natural matte finish, and can stay put all day. While it doesn’t deliver anything dramatically different than other products on the market, it’s a solid contender in the foundation category. Just be aware of the possibility of an allergic reaction if you’re sensitive to fragrance or certain ingredients. Try a patch test before applying this product to your face, and as always, direct any specific concerns to your physician.
