When I was invited by SheSpeaks to try the new Magic Nude Liquid Powder Bare Skin Perfecting Makeup from L'Oreal Paris and tell them what I thought, I was eager to see how I would like it.  I requested the product in Nude Beige #316 that has SPF 18 protection and am happy to report it was a great match for my light warm skin.

This foundation appears a bit thinner in consistency than some L'Oréal Paris foundations I have used in the past, but it glides on wonderfully.    However, the real test is what happens once this product goes on.  I found that you had to work fast to apply it because this one dries rather quickly.   I got lightweight coverage that did dry to a nice powder-like finish.  In fact, I liked how this foundation seemed to blend so well into my dry skin without weighing it down.

I didn't need to touch up with any sort of translucent powder from morning until nearly dinner.  On most occasions, I follow liquid foundations with a light sweep of loose translucent powder and then touch up later if needed with the pressed form to look fresh.

I just wish the bottle would had come with a pump dispenser to lessen the risk of contamination.  Instead of using your finger to get this foundation out, I recommend keeping a few cotton swabs handy to stick in the bottle to pick up the foundation.  Blend or press those dabs in quickly with your makeup sponge or fingers and you will keep the foundation better protected from bacteria.

I thought Magic Nude Liquid Powder Bare Skin Perfecting Makeup was a good product at a reasonable price for someone that doesn't need heavy coverage.  Visit the L'Oréal Paris website for more information or find this product at your local drugstore.

L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream Review (812 Light)

Looking more beautiful while repairing your complexion is easier than ever thanks to the multiple benefits of BB creams.  With one product you can prime, perfect, hydrate and correct skin in a breeze.  L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream that I have been testing for SheSpeaks might be exactly the lightweight coverage help that you're looking for.

I am fairly light and requested a tube of the product in 812 Light.  The first thing you will notice upon opening is that what comes out is far from any light beige but a milky white color with tiny beads.  However, this shade quickly adjusts once you start applying it to your face.  All you need are a few well-placed dabs to smooth in and you're practically ready for your day.
  
This BB Cream gave me more of a matte finish than some others that left me somewhat dewier for my dry skin type.  This one would be more suited for those with oily complexions than dry.  Regardless of a slightly drier feel on my skin, I could still wear this product without any problem.  In fact, I think this cream would be better on my skin during the summer months.

You can compare this amount of coverage to a tinted moisturizer.  Furthermore, the color was good for me.   Also,  I liked how natural it looked as it delicately covered like the pretty skin showing was me--not product taking credit for helping me look that way.

Overall, I think L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream is a fine product that has a lot of offer.  To fully appreciate it, you need to take your skin type into consideration and the best season to wear it.
