Hey girlies, today’s
review will be the newly launched L’oreal Paris Mat Magique All-in-One Matte Transforming
Powders. Read on to find if they are “just another compact powder with a fancy
name” or something really worthwhile to include in your kitty. If you read my
review on L’oreal Paris Infallible 24H Stay Fresh foundation, you would know that L’oreal
is constantly impressing me with its products. I am very picky when it comes to
base makeup products because almost everything I try feels cakey on my
otherwise normal skin. But L’oreal proved me wrong with that foundation ;) Is
it the same case with with this powder? Let’s find out!

Price: Rs.399 for 6 gms
Packaging: This
new baby comes in a very fun and girly packaging. The outer carton is dark
metallic pink and the compact itself is housed in a plastic pan with a
transparent cover which allows you to see the shade inside. Inside, it is
two-tiered and the sponge applicator is rested in the lower layer. There is also
a very good quality mirror attached to the base of the compact powder layer.
Overall, the packaging has impressed me.

My take: Now I have always been a compact powder, kajal and lipstick
girl for my daily makeup. Although i LOVE cosmetics, but I just cannot bring
myself to apply anything more than these three staples in the morning :-/ So
you can guess how important the “compact powder” is to me. My skin is dry-combination
type and is fairly normal with some discolorations on the forehead and around
mouth. But I was never bothered about those. But now, as years pass by (sigh) I
am also noticing some slight sun spots on my face. Thus, I was always on a
lookout for a powder which will just cover those slight imperfections and not “cover”
my face like a plaster too.

So when L’oreal
team sent me these new launches for review, I was an excited baby (as always!)
Shade: I had chosen the shade N6 Nude Honey and G7 Golden Amber. The powder
comes in 6 shades (both in warm
and neutral undertones) and I chose one from both. N6 is supposedly suited to
medium to dark skin and G7 to even deeper tones. However, on my fair-medium
skin (MAC NC37-40), N6 gives me a flawless finish. I use G7 on my discoloration
areas where N6 might leave a greyish cast and voila!!! My entire face is sorted
;)

It is extremely difficult to swatch compact powder shades :( Did my best! Swatched on my tanned hands so that the color show up a bit. They blend seamlessly on my facial skin.

Pigmentation: While Lakme has always been my favorite
when it comes to compacts, I realized that I have to shift my loyalty now. This
one gives a medium coverage (as opposed to slight coverage by other compacts)
and can be built up to more coverage too! And it does not go cakey on building
up.
Texture: Non-chalky, loaded with pigments (no whitish
cast) and finely milled-smoooooooth powder. What is not to love!

Staying power: I have normal-dry skin which tends to get
little oily around nose in humid conditions. On me it stays perfectly for 4-5 hours
after which there is fading (in an AC environment). While outside, I found the
powder losing its effect after about 3 hours. It might be lower on people who
have too oily skin. So regular touch-up is a must.
Fragrance: No annoying fragrance
I would be doing a look with both these must-haves by L’oreal
soon J Keep coming back to this
space for more!
With Love,
Aparajita
