L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream – Anti-fatigue Review

I was fortunate to win a tube of this product when it first came out. The product contains colour correcting pigments, and comes out of the tube orange. On application to the skin it turns even MORE orange. However, it goes on smoothly and with a lot of blending it does sit nicely on the skin, albeit leaving you look like you've applied a light to medium coverage foundation and then been overzealous with bronzer over the top.

I like the idea of these products - they aren't just standard BB creams, they are focused on colour correcting. I haven't tried the others in the range, and I'd say it would vary over the individual products since they target different skin concerns. Plus since the formula is so pigmented, a tube lasts for ages as you only need to apply a small amount. Unfortunately, they have definitely gone overboard on the anti fatigue formula, and the colour it does offer is quite unnatural. Instead of giving me glowing skin, it left me looking unnatural, defeating the purpose of the colour 'correcting' formula. I definitely wouldn't pay $30 to keep using this product, especially when you can get more natural BB/CC/foundations for the same price or a little more.

Wooo so on first inspection of this product im like omg its quite dark and runny anyway i take the chance and apply it. Its orange! My face is Orange!! But wait its changing.......... slowly but surely it blends nicely in and adapts to a more comfortable colour. Not to bad! After a few days of using it i feel that it is still a little dark for the time of the year (winter) and im sure it will be great come summer time with a little bronzer. Today though i decided to mix it a little with one of my too pale Loreal foundations and its perfect, its covered my scars and redness and with it also being a monday my weekend looks like it was a restful one so in my books im sold. Going to try the anti redness one thou im sure you cant go wrong with one of each in your kit.
