I was surprised by how much I liked this, as I’d never tried a cushion foundation before and didn’t know what to expect. Our 1st cushion foundation, L’Oreal Paris Nude Magique Cushion, a luminous liquid foundation infused in a innovative cushion that delivers the perfect amount of make-up for a fresh finish. They are the same product (just with different colour packaging), but for some reason, are marketed differently depending on region. I initially thought I was going to hate the applicator puff that comes with this product but surprisingly I’m enjoying it.

I would also recommend carrying blotting sheets or translucent powder with you because the glow increases as the day progresses. Today I'm going to show you a review and swatches of the l'Oréal Nude Magique cushion foundation in the two lightest shades: 01 Porcelain and 03 Vanilla. I really love this softly dewy finish and you can keep layering this up to get the coverage you want without the fear of it going cakey – it is weightless. The L'Oreal Glam Beige Cushion Foundation is a lightweight formula which gives you a radiant healthy complexion and naturally glowing finish. Will usually dispatch within same working day if paid before 14:00 GMT (excludes weekends and holidays).

As she is a professional make-up artist with a very high-impact style, I can trust her on formulations, even if our preferences in the colour or placement department aren’t the same.

I do have a big gripe about the stupid decision not to have the shade name or number anywhere on the packaging. The packaging for the foundation is very simple and fuss free, something that makes me fall in love even more with L'Oreal as a brand. Step 2: Tap the applicator onto skin to build your desired coverage: tap a little for a sheer luminous finish, or tap a lot for medium buildable coverage. I can usually get away with no primer under other foundations because it doesn’t look so bad, it just feels oily in the middle of the day. Obviously it’s less than hygienic because I’m not too sure if you would wash the sponge but for now, I love it.Inside you get a mirror and a velvet puff and there is also a second lid which helps keep the cushion part moist, so just make sure you close this lid tightly after use to prevent the foundation drying out. All in all, this is a really nice foundation, but you just have to be lucky in finding a reasonably good colour match. But you need to keep in mind that my skin is no longer dry, so it might behave completely different on you. And as you can see, the yellow undertone is barely noticeable, but that might be because of the prevalence of red/pink cancelling out the yellow. It doesn't make me look that oily throughout the day because I've been using a loose powder to set it, which works wonders.

My only reservation is that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of product, and I can’t see it lasting as long as a regular bottle of foundation. Aqua / Water, Methyl Trimethicone, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Titanium Dioxide [Nano] / Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate / Dicaprate, Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethicone, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Trisiloxane, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Magnesium Sulfate, Acrylates / Stearyl Acrylate / Dimethicone Methacrylatecopolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Lauroyl Lysine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Stearic Acid, Alumina, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Lecithin, Isopropyl Myristate, Isostearic Acid, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Adenosine, Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate, Disodium EDTA, BHT, Ethylhexyl Hydroxystearate, Tocopherol.I usually powder over my forehead and nose when I apply in the morning just to take a bit of the shine away and keep the oil at bay for longer but I’ve found regardless of powder, it still gets oily quite quickly which makes me think a lot of the oil comes from the formula itself. The packaging is stunning and I absolutely adore the metallic rose pink shade, which helps make this product very distinctive and unique. As you can see, they're light but not THAT light - anyone who generally needs an ivory type foundation will not be able to find their colour in this product. The packaging is almost identical, but the shade selection is different, so it cannot be excluded that there are differences in the formula as well. I find that helps to blend the product a little bit better, but then again you can just go in with a beauty blender after using the puff to apply the foundation.
