Good ol Faithful!

I love Loreal and have found them to be a very trusted brand so far. This is the foundation that I use and love. The price is not too bad and you do get a decent amount of foundation in the bottle. I only use one pump and use and foundation brush, this one pump is enough for me to cover my face and down my neck. I do find that it can look a little oily in the summer but one I have used a setting powder it looks fine. It does not become blotchy at all and feels like it makes an even coverage. For me I personally like having a lighter coverage so this is great for me.

Too shiny for my skin type

My skin is naturally oily and it doesnt need much for it to be super shiny during the day. My skin is also acne ridden therefore I need a foundation that is full coverage to hid my pimples and my scars.

Sadly this foundation doesnt give me the full coverage I need for my skin needs. I need at least 2 layers of foundation to have my desired coverage and it makes shiny very quickly. By lunchtime my face has the look of dripping with oil and it not very great for your confidence.

I've used this foundation with a few primers and not even a primer would help combat the oily and shiny effect that this foundation has on my skin.

I do however find if I use this foundation for a few hours then it does it job for me. My go to foundation is Double wear but this is quite pricey so when I only need foundation for a few hours I will grab this foundation. This is definitely not a long wearing foundation either because I cant wear this foundation on a hot and humid day because it will melt right off my face.

This foundation just doesnt work for my oily skin for an entire days worth of wear but for a quick foundation its no problem therefore I would have to rate this foundation as average for my skin type.

I have been gifted this foundation but as it doesnt suit my skin I will not be purchasing this foundation.

Tips: If your skin is acne ridden this might not be the correct foundation formula for you.

not best for oily skin

I have acne prone skin so I wanted something to cover that and I tried this and it is pretty good. It helps take some of the redness but I do find that even 2 layers wasn't always enough for some of the pesky pimples. So if you are looking for acne coverage you might want something a little more full coverage. Also, throughout the day my t-zone can get oily and this would sometimes make it look even more oily due to the dewy complexion it is supposed to give. I found that if I set it really well with a good setting powder it would last better but i still at some point would end up looking oily. So if you have oily or acne prone skin this foundation may not be the best for you.

Pleasantly suprised

I came across this foundation online, and decided to buy it because i really like the loreal products. It has good coverage, nice satin finish, and a great range of shades. It does not last the entire day on me and i find i need to touch up around my jaw line, but i love the finish so much and how lightweight it feels n my skin. would recommend

Tips: Can be hard to find your shade, check online first or test instore

summer fav!!

This is my summer go to foundation. I love the glowy dewy look it gives me and looks perfect. It gives an amazing coverage and is also great to wear when going out on the town as it gives the perfect glow :)

Didn't work for my dry skin, surprisingly!

I've always had dry skin and I have always been on the search for luminous, hydrating foundations. They always felt great on my skin, plus theoretically hydrating base + dry skin = match made in heaven, right? Wrong, well, it was in my case!

This foundation had a very, very sheer coverage and never sat right on my skin. It always looked splotchy and uneven, on top of my already splotchy uneven skin tone that was showing through due to the lack of coverage, lol. I tried it with/without primer, mixing it with other foundations, using a powder etc, still nada! Even without the application issues, it never seemed very luminous on my skin either.

I've since come to find that even though I have dry skin, foundations aimed at normal/oily skin sit a lot better on me, so it probably has something to do with my weird skin as to why this foundation didn't work for me, as most dry skinned folk seem to love it. As with any foundation, there's the risk it may not work for you so this one has now been passed on to a friend :)

Dewy without being oily

Besides my MAC foundation, this has to be my go to foundation. I have combination skin, but I get really oily around my nose area and this foundation works great on me. It doesn't make me too shiny, it gives a really natural finish even after I set it with powder. If I want a slightly more matte finish, I just apply a matte primer beforehand.

It has good coverage and covers up blemishes quite well, you just need to apply concealer to any stubborn spots if you want a more flawless look. It's also really lightweight, so even after applying powder it doesn't feel cakey.

It probably doesn't have the greatest colour range, especially for darker skinned girls. I'm an NC40-42 in MAC (which is like a medium tan) and I wear the darkest Lumi Magique shade, so if you're darker than me this definitely won't have your shade.

Illuminated!

I want what every woman after a good foundation would want.....coverage! I stopped in at my local Farmers store one day hoping to find the foundation of my dreams. I was first given three different testers, one with yellow undertones, red undertones and green undertones. I found out my undertones were yellow so N3 (pure linen) was selected and it became my bestie from there on out! I have dry sensitive skin so I was looking for a dewy finish that was gentle on my skin. Now $44.95 seems ridiculous to me for foundation but I had to give it a try to see if my skin was in agreeance with my eyes.

I love the shape of the bottle it's glass and very elegant, almost sexy. It has a plastic lid that protects the gold pump lid. I love that it pumps the liquid out because it means that I minimize waste by tipping out too much. The word that catches my attention most is LUMI. I am in love with the thought that it reflects light to give me a healthy glow without looking like an oil slick.

I apply mine with the Real Techniques foundation brush. I just find that it gives better coverage with minimal effort and minimal product. I finish it off by running my hand over my face to get rid of the brush marks. It gives me full coverage without even trying. It covers up dark circles and small blemishes that would normally stick its ugly head up despite foundation application. This to me is already the ultimate foundation and I am only just getting started. Alot of dewy foundations I have used in the past have a tendency to dry quite quickly and appear matte. This one however doesn't dry out too fast and the results show a glowing, almost highlighted look. It's not a shiny, oily look but a healthy just tanned glow. It certainly lives up to its name LUMI MAGIQUE because it's every bit of that!

The stay power is a something magique in itself. I go to work at 7.40am and don't return until 5pm some days and my face is still in tact with no smears, no wear marks and looking as glowy as I did when I stepped out the door. It even helps keep my eyeliner and eyeshadow in line by making it stay...BONUS!!! For anyone with dry skin like me you will not look back after trying this. If you are sick of matte foundations or dewy ones that don't work sticking to your dry patches and making your skin look worse; look no further! You have found your match, literally. If you can't find your perfect colour because it's too generic try L'Oreal Lumi Magique and find your correct undertone. These really are made to suit every skin tone.

Tips: Do not try if you have very oily skin.

Magical

A glass bottle that has a pump & a plastic lid to lock shut to prevent any leakage & I suppose to prevent, anything getting on your pump end?! This bottle is not heavy & quite classy looking. I have the shade nude beige. N4

A full pump dispenses enough product to cover my entire face. Although I use a pump and a bit to get a full coverage. I primed my face with the lumi primer to complement the foundation. The shade is spot on for my colour tone. It blends out effortlessly combined with he primer it gives a magical luminous effect. I like full coverage this gives & the inner radiance I think the lumi primer helps provide the glowing effect. I have oily skin type & I don't think it matters much for this product. Although not a matte finish the dewy effect or glowing effect isn't too bad & when my t zone becomes prevalent it's a case of looking a tad dewy not too oily so it's manageable. I feel the liquid consistency is quite runny & not thick which takes a bit of getting use to. I felt like this is a good formula & doesn't look cakey set with some powder & then a spray to take that powdery look away. I'm ok with saying this is a good foundation thst performs as it states. Also the benefit of having a pump wow..... A good go to foundation for daily wear or especially an evening to give you the luminous look.
