L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream










L'Oreal released this BB Cream a few months ago now but this is a handbag staple for me, so I say it deserves a few kind words.

The 'magic' aspect of this BB Cream is the incorporation of 'Smart Pigment Capsules', which burst and self adjust to your personal pigmentation upon contact with the skin.

To me, this concept is a little far fetched (and the fact that the BB Cream comes in different shades is testament in itself that it's not going to match your skin as perfectly as it claims) but I think it's a great product all the same.



The liquid formula is quite runny, so I wouldn't recommend wearing your best whites while applying it, and I've found that a small amount goes a very long way, so don't go to crazy with it!


To give you as much evidence of the results as possible, here are some freakishly close up photos of my bare face, spots and all.



After applying a small amount of L'Oreal Magique, these are the results:


This BB Cream is available in 2 shades: Fair and Medium, though I picked up Fair and it's still quite dark, so if you're very pale this might not be your best match.

Have you tried L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream? I'd love to hear you thoughts :)

I purchased mine months ago at Boots for £9.99.

Thanks for reading!

  3. It looks great on you! I have the "American" version which is called Magic Skin Beautifier BB and your totally right the Light is too dark for fair skin, but I think for most this is good stuff. :)

    1. It is odd that the fair shade is so dark, but with a bit of blending I think it turns out great :)
