L'Oreal Magic Nude is a revolutionary foundation that promises a natural, flawless finish. This product is designed to provide the perfect amount of coverage while still allowing your skin to breathe. The key feature of L'Oreal Magic Nude is its unique formula, which transforms from a liquid to a lightweight powder upon application. This helps to mattify the skin and control shine, giving you a fresh and radiant look throughout the day. One of the standout qualities of this foundation is its buildable coverage. With just a few drops, you can achieve a sheer, natural finish, perfect for those "no makeup" makeup days.
Lately I have been testing out the L’Oreal Paris Magic Nude Liquid Powder in 314 Creamy Natural. I received this makeup from SheSpeaks for review and I have to say I was excited to try a “buzzed about” new product. Reviews have been popping up on blogs and YouTube and the few I looked at were not very happy with this makeup. My experience has been quite the opposite!
The liquid powder foundation is designed to have light to medium coverage and is more suitable for combination oily skin as it does catch on dry skin patches. The foundation seems to look so much better after my face produces some oil, my face is not slick, but it seems to fuse with the foundation and look like my own skin.
With just a few drops, you can achieve a sheer, natural finish, perfect for those "no makeup" makeup days. However, if you desire more coverage, simply layer the product to achieve your desired look. The texture of L'Oreal Magic Nude is incredibly lightweight and blends seamlessly into the skin.
L’Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder in Nude Beige
Where I got it: I got this on ebay for approx. USD$15 (approx. NZD$18.30) including shipping from the US to New Zealand. This is not available in New Zealand, so I need to buy it online, plus it will be much cheaper. It is called Magic Nude Liquid Powder in the US and Canada, but Nude Magique Eau de Teint in the UK and Australia.
What I got: This is L’Oreal’s Magic Nude Liquid Powder in Nude Beige #316. This comes in 12 shades in total and the nude beige is a light/medium yellow toned shade. Magic Nude Liquid Powder is very much similar to the Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Makeup in terms of its texture, consistency, technology and coverage. I was given a small sample of the Giorgio Armani Maestro fusion makeup to try and I really like it. The liquid powder foundation is designed to have light to medium coverage and is more suitable for combination/oily skin as it does catch on dry skin patches.
How I find it: After moisturising, I let my skin settle down for a few minutes, then I shake the bottle up to mix the formula well. The packaging is a little disappointing as with most drug store foundation, it is just a glass bottle with a screw top to pour out the foundation. As for this really liquid formula, you can easily pour out too much. Tip: I would use my middle finger to cover the opening and tip it upside down so the foundation goes onto my fingertips, then I apply directly on my face. This foundation is not designed to be used with a brush Immediately after application, the skin looks really natural, sheer cover but evens my skin tone quite nicely, the texture feels amazing! After about 10 minutes my skin looks exactly the same as it was applied, still the naturally matte finish and no oxidizing. After about 1-2 hours I see no oil on my t-zone, the skin actually looks better than when first applied, it seems to work with my natural oils so the foundation sticks to the skin.
Overall: This liquid powder makeup is really comfortable to wear, works fantastic with combination-oily to oily skin. If you have normal to dry skin and have dry patches, beware because it will catch onto the dry patches. I was in Japan a few days while travelling and it was a dry winter day, the foundation catches onto my flaky skin which was really bad. For winter time or dry seasons, I would use a more moisturising cream or hydrating mask before I apply foundation. The foundation seems to look so much better after my face produces some oil, my face is not slick, but it seems to fuse with the foundation and look like my own skin. Even though the coverage is not high, I prefer this natural look while on holiday and for work!

Reviews for "The Makeup Artist's Perspective: Why L'Oréal Magic Nude is a Game-Changer"
1. Emma - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the Loraal Magic Nude foundation. Despite the claims of it being lightweight and natural, I found it to be quite heavy on my skin and it didn't blend well at all. It made my skin look cakey, and it settled into fine lines and pores, emphasizing them instead of providing a smooth, flawless finish. Additionally, the shade range is very limited, which made it hard for me to find a good match for my skin tone. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this foundation.
2. Sarah - 1 star
I had high expectations for the Loraal Magic Nude foundation but it completely let me down. It claims to have a lightweight feel, but it felt heavy and greasy on my skin. It also emphasized every little imperfection on my face and didn't provide any coverage or even out my complexion. Additionally, it didn't last long at all, and by midday, it had already started to fade and break apart. Definitely not worth the money, I won't be repurchasing.
3. Jessica - 2 stars
I was excited to try the Loraal Magic Nude foundation but it just didn't work for me. The texture was quite runny, which made it difficult to apply evenly. It also dried down very quickly, leaving streaks and patches on my face. The finish was supposed to be natural, but it looked quite matte and flat on my skin. It also didn't provide much coverage and didn't last throughout the day. Overall, I wasn't impressed and will be returning it.
4. Michelle - 3 stars
While the Loraal Magic Nude foundation had a nice lightweight texture and felt comfortable on my skin, it didn't live up to its claims. It didn't provide enough coverage for me and I had to use multiple layers to achieve the desired effect. Additionally, it didn't last long throughout the day and started to fade and crease after just a few hours. It's an average foundation but I expected more from the Loraal brand.
