Now I always used to be a bit of a foundation snob, I admit I was under the belief that surely an expensive price tag would promise my face a luxurious feel and finish. However I have on a number of occasions been left disappointed with high end foundations and its always so much more disappointing when you have paid a lot of money for a product. So I decided to stop being such a high end snob and start branching out to the high street on my quest for the perfect foundation and I really have found some treasures, if you’re a regular reader of my blog you will more than likely be aware of my love for Rimmel wake me up foundation which was one of my first high street foundations and have since become one if my favourites and ever since the high street brands have continued to impress me. However I must add I have not completely turned my back on high end foundations I still love Laura Mercierr silk crème and Chanel Vita Lumiere aqua, but me and my purse are enjoying a makeup collection with a mixture of high street and high end foundations to play around with.
Which brings me on to today’s review; I am going to share my thoughts with you on L’Oreal’s Nude Magique Eau De Trent Foundation, which is a mouthful. This is L’Oreals newest addition to the collection and there has been a lot of hype around this ‘Lighter than water’ foundation. As you can imagine the formula of this foundation is very watery and light. I find this foundation is extremely easy to apply and blends like a dream, the packaging suggests finger application works best but I don’t like to use my hands to apply make-up (it’s a germ thing) so I have found using my Real techniques expert face brush works really well with this foundation.
Once applied this foundation leaves my skin with a lovely natural, dewy glow but still offers just the right amount of coverage to hide any imperfections and under eye circles, any bad spots of blemishes might need just a touch of concealer. However, for a waterybiased product this foundation actually offered a lot more coverage than I first anticipated, so I was pleasantly surprised! The foundation leaves my skin feeling light and airy. I really feel like the formula allows my skin to breath, so I have loved it for a day time natural ‘no make-up look’. The lasting power of the foundation is also better than expected and I find it lasts around 6 hours on my combination skin, touching up with powder once throughout the day.
So far great, right? However I do have one small complaint and I am sure you have already guessed? The bottle! Yes the little glass bottle does look very cute and chic on my dresser but there is no pump so pouring can get messy and there is always some wasted product, which I really hate. So I wish this was in a tube or there was a pump to ensure I don’t waste any of this little beauty.
So overall other than the packaging I really have enjoyed using this ‘Lighter than air’ foundation and for the small price of £9.99 I would definitely repurchase in the future.
Thanks for reading lovelies
