L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation

This foundation has the most beautiful, glowing, radiant finish. I have combination skin and simply use a matte primer or mix it with a little of my favourite Revlon colorstay whipped foundation, this gives me more coverage, more lasting power but still a fresh dewy finish. A light covering of powder sets it in place. Compares to the finish if higher end products but an a more affordable price. This would be fab for dryer skin types but with a little experimenting It can also work for oilier types. I believe this is medium/buildable coverage when worn alone. Will definitely purchase again!

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 :)

I wear the Rose Porcelain shade which I think is a good match for my pale skin. This foundation is easy to pump from the bottle, which is made from glass and has gold accents.

The foundation glides on easily and provides reasonable coverage, I have sensitive skin and haven't had any issues with this product. When I need extra coverage when I have breakouts I will use a powder on top of this foundation. However if you have good skin this foundation will provide you with adequate light weight coverage.

Will definitely continue to use this foundation in the future.

I love the natural dewy finish this gives. It makes me look healthy. Only thing I dont like is that is not long wearing. It is normally faded off by midday which I is why I dont use it much. It does feel really nice on my dry skin though. I find it gives a medium coverage.

This is one of my new foundation favourites and here's why! Let's start off with the basics... I have dry/ normal skin and was on the hunt for a reasonably priced liquid foundation that would give me a dewy finish. I don't tend to wear a lot of foundation, it's mostly an occasional thing for me. When I do wear foundation I prefer a light-medium coverage as thankfully my skin is pretty good to me most of the time! L'oreal lumi magique foundation is a medium coverage foundation with a finish that looks dewy and glowy, rather than sparkly and oily! This is great for people like me who tend to have duller skin in the winter months! The formula isn't too thick or thin and applies great with fingers or a flat top foundation brush! what I love about the bottle is that it has a pump so it's not necessary to get foundation on your hands if you don't want to! It does tend to fade a bit during the day but not so much that it worries me! The colour works perfectly with my winter skin and acts as a perfect base for my rosy coloured blushes!

I was away from Auckland for 2 weeks when one of the most saddest things happened to me when I was applying my makeup. My favourite foundation had run out, it was the worst timing as I wasn't close to anywhere that sold my favourite foundation and the next best thing was Farmers which happened to be having a 20% off sale on all L'Oreal products. I had read many forums where makeup artists praised L'Oreal for their selection of yellow undertoned foundations so I started searching away when I came across the Lumi range. The bottle reminded me of cleopatra, brown and golden goodness. I was able to get this for $37 on sale which I was thrilled about, the shade Rose sand was pretty close to my skin tone.

For 2 weeks I wore this nearly every single day, most days I would normally wear BB cream but I am in love with this foundation. It is so lightweight and gives you a light to medium coverage. 1-2 pumps is more than enough for my face as a small amount goes a long way, it's also quite runny so you can use it sparingly.

The wear time is around 4 hours if I don't set the foundation or 6-8 hours if it's set with powder, I don't normally wear makeup for more than 6 hours so it doesn't bother me about the wear time.

I am very impressed with how natural my skin looks and how it gives me such a beautiful glow, I plan to buy another bottle of this once it goes on special again. My new favourite drug store foundation.

Affordable, easy to blend. Colour shades aren't the best range but the formula is a medium coverage and provides a glowy appearance. .

I found this foundation gave quite light coverage (too little coverage for my liking) but a nice dewy finish, making it look quite natural on the skin. I'm not sure if I seem to get little coverage because of the fair shade I use or if all are like this? I use the shade called pure pearl. It is long lasting which I like but It isn't my favourite foundation. I lean more towards it when my skin is clear and doesn't need much coverage just evening out of the skin tone and a glow. Wouldn't recommend to those with oily skin as it is pretty dewy looking.

The L'Oreal Lumi Magique Foundation was a foundation that I'd hoped would be fantastic but unfortunately wasn't the perfect foundation for me.

Firstly, I found they didn't have quite the right foundation for my skin tone. I picked the shade Rose Porcelain which while at first glance was a pretty good match I did find it was a bit pinker than my skin tone. So I ended up mixing it with a more another foundation. Their foundations seemed very rose or gold toned, which I think is part of why they didn't work for me, I need a more nude foundation.

The foundation itself was excellent quality though. It was a easy to blend liquid that sat well on the skin. It also lasted well on the skin (especially with powder and setting spray) with those it could last me all day. Coverage wise it was buildable so I could get a good solid coverage. The foundation also had SPF in it which I really like to have in a foundation.

The pump bottle this foundation came in was also great quality, pumped easily, lasted well and good quality materials used.

Basically everything but the shade was perfect. There are however other L'Oreal foundations that do the right shade for me, so I would certainly still use the brand, just not this particular one.
