drugstore

I rarely ever purchase drugstore foundations but when I heard about the L’oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder foundation I decided to give them another try. I read many reviews from other bloggers saying that it was reminiscent of Armani’s Maestro foundation which I have been lusting over since it came out. L’oreal brand is also Armani’s parent company so I was pretty much sold.  With Armani Maestro ringing in at $62 and L’oreal Magic Nude at a mere $12 it wasn’t a hard decision!

I purchased shade “332 Soft Sable” which I believe is the darkest shade that is available unfortunately. I must agree that the bloggers were right about this one! The formula feels exactly like the Armani Maestro sample that I tried out & I really love.
It gives me a light-medium coverage very skin-like finish. Most importantly it is so comfortable on the skin, it feels like theres nothing on my face which I love.
The only thing I dislike is the packaging, I love that it’s glass but I wish that it had a pump or dropper like Armani Maestro because, as you can see, the bottle gets messy.

I’ve been loving this foundation for a natural everyday look, the only thing I feel that I need to add is a little concealer under my eyes because I like slightly more coverage on my dark circles.
