L'Oreal Paris Magic Retouch Precision Reviews

Well, I had my doubts. I really doubted if this item would do what it said. I’ve used several products claiming to cover greys, including a hair mascara in the past. At best, they worked but were so messy it made me reluctant to use again. However, with this I was pleasantly surprised! Firstly, the wand is more precise than others I’ve used. It was more like a comb, making it easy to work into the hairline and blur out. Additionally, no fallout or sprays going everywhere! My boyfriend agreed with me that the effect was natural and he couldn’t detect it on my hair and no funny odour. I’ve not washed my hair for 3 days, and it’s definitely worn off a bit, but not completely and I’m sure I could reapply without any buildup or cakeyness. There has been no flaking in those 3 days either or mess on my pillowcase and it hasn’t added oil or grease to my hairline. My downsides would be you’ll need to be careful when you choose your colour - with so many options it suggests they’re all very different so it could be hard to find an exact match, and make sure you wipe the comb before you apply. It coats too much the first time!

Bottom line - I love it! It has given me a lot of confidence to go longer between colourings so that’s a win from me.

This was my first time using this type of grey/regrowth cover. As someone who has dyed dark hair, LOTS of greys and blonde regrowth I am a huge fan of these products for touching up in between dye jobs.. This one is easy to use, compact and very cost effective. It covered well but was a little crunchy to the touch though there was no transfer. I have used the spray cover up from this brand and prefer that, however this would be fantastic for keeping in your handbag for touch-ups as it is small and compact.

I would probably not purchase this again, unless it was on special.

My product was packaged in a small wand applicator box which could easily fit into a small hand bag. The product discription should be made clear to the consumer and state the words "wand" or "applicator wand" to give more description of what would be received. The packaging was easy to open and the directions easy to follow. Applying the product was easy but I have long hair and found the the small applicator brush was too small to use for my length of hair but should be perfect for short to medium length hair. I also found that some grey hairs missed out even when I combed through my hair. I also found that after I combed it through my hair, product was left behind on the comb and I had to reapply the product again to my hair. Perhaps I should have waited longer than 5 mins for my hair to dry as my hair was longer and thicker in strand.

The product seems super simple. A mascara brush for your greys. It comes in handy packaging, discreet and easy to apply. Be cautious when opening it for the first time as it tends to 'spit' when opened. it was easy to apply with the little plastic brush. and went on almost like I had highlights. It blended reasonably well. Unfortunately, the 'dark brown' shade was quite dark so I would definitely recommend that you go one shade down. The product sets pretty quickly so you can't much around but it was almost better when it had as I could comb it out a little bit which helped it blend further. Overall its a pretty good product and I would purchase this product to have on hand for emergencies.

This product is packaged in a gorgeous box, with clear easy to understand instructions. The applicator is flat with comb like edges so it can get right into the roots. It is a nice consistency and covers even the wiry unruly greys! I found the applicator so easy to use, I have used sprays in the past and you tend to get it on your face and everywhere else too. This method is much easier and far tidier to apply. It drys nicely and quickly not leaving your hair sticky or powdery like other products. It lasts well and the colour match was great. The wand is just like a mascara so easy to pop in your handbag if you want to reapply during the day, but I found it lasted really well. I highly recommend the L’Oréal magic retouch precision and would definately use in between having my regrowth coloured. I have a lot of greys in my part line and this is the perfect product for disguising them between salon appointments,

Overall great product

Product comes in an easy to use tube with a plastic comb like applicator rather than your typical mascara brush. The 8ml tube is convenient to keep in your bags/purse. I received the brown one for trialing. Now the actual product is pretty light and watery in consistency and has a slight chemically smell to it.Easy to apply to the hairline greys to give you a neatened up look. My hair is pretty fine and thin especially near the hairline.It did take a while to dry up (more than 5 mins as suggested on the package) personally I didn’t like the stiff and hardened hair look where this was applied. When combed through my hair I noticed that it did transfer a bit of the product to the comb and even to my fingers when I ran them through hours after I had applied it. However it is easy to wash it off. To be honest my everyday eye mascaras works a lot better in covering my tiny hairline greys. I also prefer the brush applicator to the comb type one on this. Overall the product does do what it says and is easy to use. It just comes down to personal preference really, and this is one of those products that I don’t see myself reaching for.

I have been going grey since i was 14/15 so for me ive had regrowth for 20+ years! having grey hair, the dye just doesn't stay like it used to so i love to try product that will hide my regrowth so i can wait as long as possible in between dye jobs. i was pretty thrilled to get picked for this review. the packet looks pretty small, but the bottle is the same as a mascara. the wand however is slightly different, ive used a couple of other brands like this, and i have to say the L'Oreal wand is my favourite! it has flat edges like tiny combs on each side, not like a mascara wand with tiny spikes all over, that has to be the best feature, putting it threw your hair is more like combing it on and doesn't get caught, which is awesome. now it does feel very wet when you put it on, but once dry you brush it, and i couldn't feel much difference between touched up and not in feel. i think this is perfect for little touch ups

Well this stuff seemed to do what it says it does, covers up Grey's, just wish it lasted longer and those Grey's didn't grow so damn fast lol. It didn't have a strong odor, and did add good coverage, just harder to use around the back area.

I was excited about this little treasure as i have scattered greys on my dark brown hair and havent been able to get to the salon yet and was intriqued at how this would work.

Upon opening the product i saw the that it was a medium rusty brown with mica (the glittery stuff) all through it, which at first made me quite skeptical as i didnt want my greys sparkling in the midday sun. I was expecting a mascara wand but the wand this product has is flat with spikes on both sides, i found this a bit hard to use and it always got stuck im my hair when trying to use it (could be user error though)

I swiped it on the hair after reading the instructions and noticed you have to use the spiked edges otherwise the product clumps and you end up with a huge brown spot on ya scalp if you are near your hair line. However i could smudge it off with my fingers a bit. It took a lot of product to cover my greys but once finished it did cover them and the colour seemed to match despite the initial colour of the product.

I then had to comb my hair a few times to disperse and let it dry. During the day i had a fee people comment and ask if i ha done my hair again, so it must be working.

Not sure if i would buy this, i may reach for a coloured hair spray and give that a go before i come back to this

I am sadly no longer a spring chicken and literally from the day I turned 25, I have been finding sneaky greys in my hair. My hairdresser calls them sparkles and tries to convince me to see her every 10 weeks- my wallet likes to stretch it out to more like 12 weeks! So I was very excited to be selected for the L’Oréal Paris Magic Retouch Precision trial. I chose dark brown as I felt it would match my roots best.

The product comes as a mascara wand and is quite slim like. The turquoise colour is quite eye catching - I am pleased it is not black as I would hate to mix it up with my eye mascara!

The formula is easily applied, I just brushed it on wherever I noticed patches of glitter. You need to leave it for approx 5 mins so that it dries and oh my goodness- it covers so well! Definitely hides the grey and blends beautifully with my natural hair.

I decided to trial the product over 3 days so I could see it in natural and artificial lighting and also to see if it would leave me looking like I was melting after a trip to the gym. I couldn’t believe how well it stood up to a sweaty treadmill session !

You can easily remove it but shampooing out and I like the fact you are able to really control exactly where to apply it, thanks to the specially designed wand.

10/10 would purchase and will now be keeping it in my bathroom!
