L'oreal's Nude Magique Eau de Teint {Is that a mouthful or what!?} is one of the newest foundations to hit the market and I'm just going to call it my new favourite foundation. It is quite possibly the lightest and smoothest foundation I have ever used in my life. When I first tapped this it onto my fingers I was a little sceptical; how could such a thin formula cover my face without using a good tablespoon of the stuff, it's thin as water!! But then I started to apply it to my face and wow, just wow. It just soaks in beautifully to give a silky smooth finish and leaves you with the perfect 'My skin but better' look. It still covers all the unsightly bits while still looking as natural as possible. It has quickly become my go to foundation for days that I spend at uni, sitting in lecture halls full of stale air for hours upon hours cannot be good for my skin on its own, let alone with a heavy coverage of foundation over the top! It's apparently a dupe for the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation, which i've never tried so I can't say that it is for sure, but one thing I can tell you is that it's flippin' brilliant and if you can get your hands on it- do!
I found out recently L'Oreal actually owns a bunch of high end companies, so that's why a lot of their products seem to be dupes of higher end brands, because quite often they'll use the same or similar formulas! L'Oreal owns Giorgio Armani so that's probably why it seems so similar. There's a full list here: http://www.theprivatelifeofagirl.com/2014/03/whoownswhom.html
ReplyDeleteI'll have to consider trying this one out, it sounds excellent. I currently use Revlon colourstay, which is great because it's a formula specifically for my skin type, but sometimes I do wonder what else is out there!
I had heard that before but its great to see them all lined up together! It certainly makes it easier to find dupes. I hope it works out for you if you do get it :)

I'll need to look into it I guess! I need a new foundation since my FITMe has kinda died out.

That sounds like a good foundation! I need to find it :D I'll love something that light with a finish like that.
