L’oreal Paris Mat Magique All-in-One Matte Transforming Powder #N6 Nude Honey and #G7 Golden Amber
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!

Product claims:
L’oreal Paris Mat Magique All-in-One Matte Transforming Powder #N6 Nude Honey and #G7 Golden Amber
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 ;)

N6 is more of a neutral-beige with slight yellow tones and G7 has even warmer (slight orangish) tones. While N6 will suit up to NC40 in MAC, G7 when used as a overall powder will suit upto NC42 in MAC. Beyond that, I wish there was deeper shade. For me G7 also works as a great contouring product :D Yay!!!
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 hoursafter 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
Overall Rating: 4.8/5
Recommendation: L’oreal Paris Mat Magique All-in-One Matte Transforming Powder is a unique compact powder which gives medium-heavier coverage while being light on skin. Grab it if you are looking for such effect from a compact and something which does not look ghastly white on skin. It makes your face look polished by covering minor imperfections. Elegant Eves gives it a thumbs up!
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,
