The magic of light... A review - L'oreal Paris Lumi Magique foundation.

First of all, for those of you, who actually follow this blog (Hi mom :-)), I'm sorry, I haven't posted anything in a while.

I just haven't had the energy or inspiration.

That is kind of the story of my life.

I always start out very strong, and then I loose interest.

However I have been trying some new things, that I wanted to share with you.

Actually I bought this product totally unplanned. I was very interested in the primer from the line (which I also bought). But didn't think I needed another foundation.

But as I have said before I'm always on the hunt for that perfect foundation for very pale skin!

So when I saw the lightest colour in the line and the effect, I just needed to try it out.

Coverage:

I think the coverage is very light.
So for summer it will probably be the perfect choice for many people.

First I thought it was to light coverage to my taste. But I have actually been enjoying using it for lazy days, and days very I haven't felt like a "full-face-make-up".

Colour range:

As the L'oreal True Match foundation, there is a big range of colours.

I'm bought the shade C1 Rose Pearl.

It is still not the perfect shade for me, but I is okay.

How does it apply?:

It is very thin in consistency.

I apply it, as I also do with all my other foundations, with an ELF Studio Powder brush.

And unfortunately this foundation does apply a little streaky, which I'm so not a fan of.

Does it Illuminate?:

Yes, I really think it does.
Not in a Disco ball way, but a nice and subtle way.

And let's face it, it is all about the a healthy illuminating skin this spring.

Before

After

I do think it photographs quite well.

Staying power:

As I said before no foundation is going to last all day on my skin.

But I do think this one is good.

Even after a nap, it isn't totally rubbed of.

Conclusion:

This is not my new favourite/perfect foundation.

But I'm going to use it, and will probably get even more use of it, when the weather is getting hotter.

Also I would recommend it, if you are looking for a light coverage foundation, that gives you a healthy look.

Stay turned for the review of the primer/base from the same line.

Until then, keep it cool:-)
