L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Cream Review

This was one of the first BB creams to come out in NZ and i was so excited to try it. It claimed to go on white but as you rub it onto your skin, it was to blend naturally into your face colour and for me, it did not happen! It was far too orange for my super pale skin and it just didn't quite have enough coverage for me. In saying this, I gave it to my mum who is a bit darker than me and she adores it. She likes the lightweight formula and it is a perfect colour for her. For fair skin girlies like me, it just doesn't work :(

Even the light is waayyyy to dark. it starts off white or green depending on which one you try (my sister won 2 so i tried both). Even the lightest ones are very dark-they do not accommodate for very pale skin which I was disappointed about. I'm just glad I didn't waste my money buying something that doesn't suit.

I seem to be experiencing some of the same issues as others, this made me face go orange! I have naturally fair skin and freckles and while the coverage and feel of this was great it just wasn't the right colour for me. :(

The idea of it is rather interesting, it turns from white to skin colour, but the colour will turn darker/orange-y after 1-2 hours. The coverage is average. Doesn't control oil.

I bought it from a makeup sale a while ago and put it on in the car as I want wearing any makeup that day but I found it was too dark for my skin even though I'm not overly pale in the first place. I was walking around with a orange tinged face until I realised I could use my son's baby wipes to take it off.

I only use it now under mineral powder as a base as it does even out skin well

I love lots of things about this product, the flawless effect it gives, it looks really natural. My only criticism, and the one reason for not repurchasing, is I have oily skin, and my face is super shiny after 3-4 hours. Bugger.

I mean it was good i guess just not for me, wrong skin tone etc kind of felt gritty and made me look like an oompa loompa haha would be good for someone with a warm toned skin.

As I was in the market for a new BB Cream, I wanted to check out the Nude Magique BB Cream from L'oreal. Being a pale//translucent chick, I went for the lightest hue in their line. When I first squeezed some out, I was surprised to find it was white with little gray bits in it. However, despite this, it went on so dark on my skin that it looked like I was wearing a bronzer (a bit unnatural for me since I typically burn into the color of a strawberry when I step outside). It was a nice change, but very unexpected. On the flip side, the BB Cream went on well; very smooth without being thick and heavy. However, it didn't cover up as much of the imperfections as I had hoped.

I would probably use this again in the summer, but it is far too dark for me to get away with in the winter.

I bought this BB cream to use in place of foundation for an everyday basis, and it works really well for that for the most part, it has really nice light to medium coverage and is easy to blend. It's weird because it seems almost grainy and comes out white and when you blend it in it seems to turn into a skin colour like your own. It had a matte finish on my skin but since I have normal to oily skin, I always set it with a powder to make it last through the day. I applied with my fingers for ease of application, I don't think using a sponge or brush would work because of the tiny grainy particles in it. I got mine in the lightest shade when I was about an NC15-20 in mac foundations and it was a bit too dark for me. It was quite neutral so I found it didn't pull too pink or yellow on me which was always a bonus.I found it to be really quite liquidy and messy when I tried to apply it because it was so thin, but this also meant that it was quite lightweight on the skin
