L'Oréal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream Review

Hi guys!

Just a quick post to review the L'Oréal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream's which I have been trying and testing recently!

There are 3 different CC Creams in this range; Anti-Redness, Anti-Dullness & Anti-Fatigue.



(From Left to Right) Anti-Redness, Anti-Dullness & Anti-Fatigue

Anti-Fatigue

Firstly, let's look at what this claims to do;

'The magic Smart Pigment Capsules in a feather-light apricot hydrator transform into foundation on application. Helps wake up the complexion. A perfect nude look with buildable light-weight coverage.'

This cream is certainly apricot! I know a few people who have found this too dark on their skin tone but I used it sparingly under my foundation and found it gave a nice glow.

Personally for me, I found this product worked best when using a small amount under the eye area to counteract the blue/purple circles I have so I probably wouldn't use it all over my face.

I can imagine on very fair skin tones this would either be too dark or would take a lot of blending but for me it added a nice brightening effect and definitely perked my skin up!



Anti-Dullness

This cream was the purple one to counteract sallow looking skin so I tried this on my skin but it didn't do enough for me to say I could go foundation-less as the cover was too sheer.

I have since worn foundation over the top and it did give it a nice base and a certain glow to my skin but I was still left feeling a bit underwhelmed as although it does work as a good base or brightener but it doesn't seem like an alternative to foundation.



Anti-Redness

This one was the one I was most keen to try as I've noticed recently redness around my nose and chin.

This one blended in really well on my skin and did counteract the redness but again, I wore foundation over the top as the coverage was far too light for me.



So what are my overall thoughts...

I think the main thing to consider about these CC Creams that if you're looking for an alternative to foundation or any coverage then these won't be for you, but using them as colour correctors underneath your foundation can help counteract any areas of sallowness or redness. These retail for £9.99 which would be reasonable if it's replacing your foundation, but if you're just using these as correctors under your foundation it's probably not the best value for money.

It totally depends on what you're looking to use them for, and I'll continue to use them underneath my foundation but I think the Anti-Redness cream is the only one I'd consider repurchasing.
