L'Oréal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation 11 Golden Amber 14.6g

Product Information

It’s going to give your skin the luminosity you’ve always wanted and the dewiness will increase throughout the day. Again, I can live with this – I have embraced my shiny nose or if it really seems too awful, I’ll put some YSL magic on top. This sounds like a fair enough statement – as I rotate my foundations so often, I cannot really judge the more long-term impact (and I guess it would be diluted anyway). I often find that very comfortable foundations do not set well without powder (and I don’t like powder) – Charlotte Tilbury’s Light Wonder being a particular offender. I’ve also realised the the foundation takes atlas 10-15 minutes to settle into the skin, so bare that in mind when powdering.

I stuffed my fingers in some of them, while in Japan and they all felt very thick and super drying on my skin.In fact the YSL (touche eclat) feels like a moisturiser that has a bonus effect to even out my skin. It doesn't make me look that oily throughout the day because I've been using a loose powder to set it, which works wonders. The sponge applicator makes it easy to build up coverage where needed, and I had no issue creating an even canvas for my makeup. As you can see, they're light but not THAT light - anyone who generally needs an ivory type foundation will not be able to find their colour in this product.

The foundation's buildable coverage allows you to create a sheer, luminous finish, or build to a medium coverage depending how many layers you wish to apply. This looks worth investigating, I haven’t tried anything like this in years and next time I am in Boots I will have a look. Zooming in near my jawline, there is a slight colour difference - a bit more yellow than my neck, and a bit darker.

The packaging for the foundation is very simple and fuss free, something that makes me fall in love even more with L'Oreal as a brand. But you need to keep in mind that my skin is no longer dry, so it might behave completely different on you. I feel the dewyness makes me look healthy and fresh like a goddess, but on days when I’m after a matte look, I won’t be reaching for this. Let me know if this was helpful, if you’ve tried this foundation and if you enjoy this kind of review format?
