L’Oreal Paris Magic Nude Liquid Powder Review & Swatches

Hello girlies

Are you lusting over the Giorgio Armani Maestro foundation but the hefty price tag makes you take a step back?????? Worry no more because we have a dupe from L’Oreal Paris at just 1/5th of the price…. Yeieeeeeee. Let’s see what this liquid powder has to offer. I am reviewing the shade ‘320 Natural Beige’. L’Oreal Paris has 6 shades to which I feel are perfect for Indian skin tones hence you can find a close match.

My Experience With Loreal Paris Nude Magic Liquid Powder

The foundation has no fragrance and has a watery texture. Comes housed in a cute little glass bottle, obviously it is delicate and has to be handled with care which makes it a non travel friendly product. The bottle has a screw open cap without a pump so while dispensing the product, you have to put your finger tip on the mouth of the bottle else you will end up pouring a lot of product, its that runny.

As mentioned it has to be applied with fingertips. To my surprise, it blends effortlessly in one go. The liquid foundation looks dewy for a few seconds and then settles into a semi matte finish. The texture is to die for, its so smooth light and blendable. It just feels like second skin. The coverage is light to medium. Its great for people who have a good skin and don’t have too many imperfections to hide. It covers slight redness and evens out the skin to give a ‘my skin but better’ kinda effect but if you have major dark circles or pigmentation then you will have to make way for a concealer as well.

It works perfectly for my normal skin but if you have oily skin then you will have to use a powder to lock the foundation and avoid meltdown. This liquid powder clings to dry patches and highlights them, so if you have dry skin then prep it well before applying this product.It has a tendency to settle into fine lines but when blended properly, this problem can be rectified. It does not accentuate the pores.

In air conditioning it stays for good 5 hours otherwise it starts fading after 3 to 4 hours. It also has an spf 18 which is great.the foundation photographs well and does not oxidise at all.
