L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powders
Hi girls!!
Recently L’Oreal Paris launched these really affordable compact powders which
are just for rupees 399 rupees. Since the quantity of considerable amount they
will last really long. This is why I liked the fact that this range can be
tried by a lot of girls. This powder has several claims out of which that this
has got SPF 34 PA+++ was quite commendable. In fact in one of my recent posts,
I have tested the SPF 34 PA+++ of these L'Oreal Mat Magique pressed powders and I am quite satisfied with that. I am glad that a
product which most of the girls use frequently has that much sun protection. So, in this
post, I am going to do a detailed review on these L'Oreal Paris Compact powders. I have shades like N1 (Nude vanilla), N6 (Nude Honey), G1 (vanilla Ivory), G2 (Golden Ivory) and G7 (Golden Amber).

Experience with L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder
This pressed
powder is packaged in a beautiful glistening pink and white packaging which is
good at the price. The separate inner compartment for keeping the sponge is nice
as while you use the sponge applicator, it can then get loaded with the oils
and grease from the face hence keeping that separately is great
from the hygiene aspect. This has a decently sized mirror as well that may be
required while you are touching up.
I have 5
shades from this range of L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powders,
so let me describe the shades first, then I will go ahead and let you know about
the texture and other features.
L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder N2 Nude Vanilla
This is the
lightest shade out of the lot that will suit very fair skinned girls. This is light with slight yellowness to it.
L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder N6 Nude Honey
This is a
shade for medium skinned girls who are not very dark or very fair. The warmth in this is good for Indian skin tones.
L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder G1 Vanilla Ivory
This shade
will suit the girls who have got skin complexion which is between very fair to
medium like me, who are not medium or wheatish but are fair generally.
L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder G2 Golden Ivory
I find this
shade to be similar as that of the G2, just slightly warmer than G 1, so again this will be suitable for girls
who have got skin complexion between very fair to medium.
L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder G7 Golden Amber
This is a
color that can be used by duskier girls but if your skin color is even duskier that
I don’t see this will work for you.
Texture and other features of L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder
The pressed
powder is not very heavy rather has a light texture else with dry or heavy
powders one can feel that it cake up faster. But with this I feel it is very
fine and able to give a decent coverage. I mostly used this just over the BB
cream and this was able to give good coverage. It won’t cake up at the end of
the day but still i recommend, you should avoid layering the compacts throughout the day
rather use blotting sheets to mattify the face.
I like that
this controls the oils on my T zone for around 3 hours which is okay as most of
the powders won’t do much for me beyond that time. So, the 12 hours oil free
claim is not for me. But even the compacts which are for over thousand bucks won’t do that
either so considering that I can’t complain.
One thing
which I liked about these powders is the shade selection. Out of the 5 colors, I
can use at least two since I have skin complexion that dwindles between medium
to fair but what excites me is that they do not have any pink undertones to
them. Secondly, they do have a shade called Golden Amber which will
suit the dusky skinned girls. Else I have observed that most of the brands
won’t even consider launching darker foundations and compacts which isn’t fair at all.
So, here even if you have very fair to dusky skin then also you have got a shade out there for
you.:)
The sponge
applicator of these compact is like that of the ones that we use to apply
foundations and I love such applicators. They will just press the powder
smoothly into the pores for a seamless finish, I liked that. The overall packaging
is quite sturdy so I can easily carry it in a small clutch even. Since for
touch ups, a lipsticks and compact would be the most required products for most of the women.
Texture of
the powder as I mentioned is fine and easy to spread on but isn’t to drying
therefore, I think they won’t dry out the skin for those who already have dry
skin. This is not a moisturizing powder but not chalky as well, so this is
something in between which will cater to all the skin types.
I liked the
overall feature for the price and as I said this is a worth trying product for
399 rupees.
Now coming
to the pros and cons of these L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed
Powders.
Pros of L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder
Price is
very affordable and makes these really in budget.
Packaging is
good and looks attractive.
The separate
compartment to keep the sponge applicator is hygienic way to use the compact. i know some of you girls may not like this idea much.
The powder
isn’t chalky or too dry rather has a fine easy to blend light formula.
This won’t settle
in the pores rather blends seamlessly over the skin.
This controls
oil for me for around 3 hours that also depends on how oily your skin is.
SPF 34 PA+++
is really good as for those who skip sunscreens most of the times as they can at least
get good sun protection through this.
This gives
decent coverage, even if I layer it over a BB cream.
These compact
powders will work for all the skin types.
Doesn’t feel
heavy on the skin.
Shade
selection is good and suitable for majority of Indian skin complexions
Cons for L'Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder
They won’t control
the oils for more than 3- 3.5 hours.
Other than that
honestly, I don’t have any complaint from this powder, some of you with extremely
dry skin may feel that this has accentuated the dry patches over the skin but
then again as I said this is neither a moisturizing powder nor a chalky one but
something that will work for many skin type decently.
Rating for L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powders: 4
out of 5
L'Oreal
Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powders have impressed me with their SPF
34PA++ in my first impression post. Moreover, the price, packaging and the texture
of the powder is such that one can’t ask for anything at such an affordable and
inexpensive product. The quantity given is good which will last long. The shades availability is wonderful
for Indian skin complexions. Moreover, they do not have pink undertones rather are very
warm and have yellow tone which will suit Indian complexions nicely. It may not
control oils for 12 hours as per the claims but for me even 3 hours is fine. I will recommend that
you should get these, I am sure you will like. Test the shade at the counter, if you are still confused about the appropriate shade.
PR sample: My views are unbiased as always!!!
A these sounds great n have shades for all skin tones.
