L’OrĂ©al Paris Nude Magique Eau de Teint is
a foundation that features a lightweight formula, leaving a nude velvet finish.
The foundation has been formulated with an airy texture enriched with volatile
oils that evaporate as the formula is applied to the skin, leaving oil
remaining necessary for comfort, and a ‘zero make-up’ feel. The foundation
leaves skin texture finer and softer, without greasiness.
Available in six shades
RRP:
$24.95 (20ml) – Available from Priceline, department stores, variety stores and
select pharmacies
What I
Say:
This
foundation is unlike any other foundations I’ve ever tried before. It is like a
very thin liquid that separates in the bottle, and needs to be shaken before
you use it. You then apply it with your fingertips, continuing to a few drops
at a time. You need to spread it quickly over the skin as it absorbs very
quickly. I am I sure you could apply it with a foundation brush, by putting
several drops on the back of your hand and then blending it with the brush, but
I actually think it is easier with the fingers, mainly because it absorbs so rapidly.
It
leaves the skin with light coverage that can be built up slightly with another
think coat. It has a nice semi-matte formula, and I am surprised to say that it
actually stays put all day, even on my combination skin. And as it is so thin,
it doesn’t settle into lines or wrinkles either, and never looks cakey. Rather
it has a nice no-makeup feel, and if you apply and blend very quickly it is almost
invisible on the skin too – or as the name of the foundation suggests, nude!
The
foundation comes in a glass bottle with a screw lid that reveals the opening of
the bottle, which is rather large, but your finger does cover it –and make sure
you do, as otherwise it would turn a little messy. And I like that it contains
SPF18 so my skin is protected during the day.
Overall,
I like this foundation, - that is, once I got the hang of applying it, as it
really is different to other foundations I’ve tried. It is a great foundation,
especially if you have flawless skin and don’t require a love of coverage – and
while I will continue to reach for my foundations with better coverage, for
casual wear it is certainly a great option.

Sounds like a bit of a mission to apply but I've heard so many good things!

I definitely need more coverage than this offers. I've heard great reviews on it though.
