**Question:** Which foundation lasts all day?

**Short answer:** Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation has the best record for wear time: 22 of 26 shoppers said it lasted through the day without fading or breaking up. COVERGIRL +Olay Simply Ageless Foundation has the highest share at 91%, but it rests on a small group (11 shoppers). L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation with SPF has the weakest record here at 20 of 32, with 22% of its reviews saying it wore off fast.

**What stands out:** Wearing off is a repeat complaint: 22% of L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation with SPF reviews, 20% of e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation reviews, 19% of Revlon Illuminance Skin Caring Foundation reviews and 13% of Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation reviews say it wore off fast. People often write about wear time when a foundation faded, so read the shares as a way to compare these foundations.

## Questions

**Which foundation lasts all day?**

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation has the best record (22 of 26), followed by COVERGIRL +Olay Simply Ageless Foundation (10 of 11) and L'Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation (21 of 27). COVERGIRL +Olay Simply Ageless Foundation rests on a smaller group of shoppers, so its record is thinner.

**Does L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation with SPF last all day?**

Often, but not reliably. It has the weakest record here at 20 of 32, and 22% of its reviews say it wore off fast. 50% still praise how long it lasted.

**Is e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation good for all-day wear?**

Mostly. 9 of 13 said it lasted through the day, though the group that stated an outcome is small (13). 40% call it good value, and 20% say it wore off fast.

**Does a good share mean a foundation will last on me?**

Not always. Reviews can't control for your skin, the weather or how long your day is. A record like 22 of 26 for Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation tells you how many shoppers who stated an outcome were happy with its wear time, not how it will behave on you.
