L'oreal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream- Anti Redness: £9.99
After all the buzz about bb creams and then cc creams, when I found out that L'oreal had created their own range I was really excited to try it. My all time favourite and go-to foundation is L'oreal's True Match Foundation so their brand of the ever growing popular creams was something I was looking forward to trying and expecting to like. I quite like the idea of not having to wear a foundation but having something light to give you a bit of coverage and hide those little marks or flaws you're not happy with on your face.
L'oreal has three cc creams available, one for anti-redness, one for anti-fatigue and one for anti-dulness. As I have very pale skin with some red areas on my cheeks the anti-redness was my first pick.
Here's the swatch:
Don't be scared when it comes out green... be more scared when it turns you orange. It is not a pretty sight. This product is something I would completely avoid if your pale like me. It does not turn into 'the perfect nude' I had hoped for unfortunately, but a horrific shade of bright orange. I was really disappointed with this, especially for the price and because I love L'oreal's foundation and other products so much too. I will agree with the product when it says it gives coverage, and coverage with only using a small amount, though I wouldn't say it's 'buildable' and nor would I agree with it giving you a 'perfectly even skin tone' as it just masks any sort of natural skin tone you have.
I would definitely recommend getting a sample of this or trying it out before you make your purchase, especially if you've got light to medium skin tone. You don't want to be looking like a wotsit!
Have you tried this product? What are your thoughts on it?
