In Detail L’Oreal Mat Magique 12H Bright Mat Foundation Review, Swatches and My Experience

The loreal mat magique foundation comes in a pink box packaging and inside there is a small plastic tube with a metallic finish cap. The tube dispenses just the right amount of product. Tube packaging is more hygienic as well as light weight. Overall the packaging quite decent and user friendly.

They have launched 5 different shades in this range. These shades are – G1, G3, G5, N1 and N3 as mentioned above by the MBF Team.

I was matched the shade G3 which is I feel is pretty perfect for my MAC NC 42 skin tone. I feel this is a perfect matte foundation. However loreal claims this to be a semi matte foundation. I like the coverage of this foundation as well because it covers all my slight marks and blemishes. For heavy marks I use my concealer. Hence, overall I have to say that it provides medium to full coverage. This foundation never looks caky on my skin and provides a natural finish.

The texture of the foundation is soft and creamy. The foundation glides on very easily and smoothly on my face. Also, it is very easy to blend and work with. I can safely say that Loreal Mat Magique bright mat foundation has a light weight formula which feels very comfortable on the skin. I am in love with this foundation and have been using this each and every day. This baby has also replaced my lakme absolute mousse foundation which I used to use regularly.

Overall

This foundation is good for beauties with combination to oily skin. I don’t see this foundation working for the beauties with dry skin.

Loreal claims that this foundation stays for 12 hours which is unfortunately not true in my case. It stays on for good 5-6 hours after which it starts fading. However, touching up the face with a bit of compact just works fine and increases the life of the makeup. I usually use loreal mat magique compact along with this one but you can use any of you favourite compact or loose powder over this.
