They cover less than a conventional foundation (but new in recent years are sometimes very light). But better than a tinted cream. And especially allow to moisturize and provide some pretty solid UV protection (usually spf 20 to 30, but Khiel's in particular has emerged with an index 50). All at a much more reasonable price than a foundation! The BB Cream has become a must for me when I'm in a tropical climate (a classic makeup flows very fast) and in all cases spring to late summer. This prevents me from putting a sunscreen, because it is contained in the product (but to apply sunscreen over every two hours if you really sets). On vacation or traveling is the ideal: if you forget the moisturizer, okay BB Cream also acts as moisturizer (not enough if you have dry skin). And if it should be applied in a hurry, without a mirror, with poor lighting, it works too. We can not end up with the plaster complexion, even complexion is subtly making.
The Nude Magique BB Cream by L'Oreal is available in two colors: light and medium. Another advantage of BB Creams that I forgot to mention, the BB Creams only offer little shade, but generally it's not a problem. The color fits well to the complexion. In short it is really a very accessible and very simple product. L'Oreal promises 5 advantages:
- Even complexion sublimated
- Ultra-mild ideal coverage
- Hydration 24h
- UV protection
- Antioxidant
Just to take a nut (good point: it is in the tube, thus no risk of contamination) and apply to clean skin, if possible still before a moisturizer (but is can troubleshoot if there is not a dry skin). It spreads slowly, and voila! The texture is almost transparent, no risk to plaster the complexion. The color will come in contact with the skin. The texture is very liquid, it's a little tricky to handle but this makes sure we do not put too much product.
After regular use (I've already emptied a tube earlier):
- Even complexion sublimated: I confirm! If one has a complexion somewhat blurred / small plates / buttons, the complexion is sublimated on. It gives the impression of being more awake and hue of the skin is harmonized. Be careful though, if you have minor imperfections, it's perfect. But if you have severe brands, such as acne pimples, this will not suffice.
- Lightweight ideal coverage: I confirm there too! In any case the texture is very fluid, difficult to put too much.
- Hydration 24h: I never have dry skin signs (never small skin that flake off, for example), so with or without moisturizer I see no difference ... When I happened not to moisturizer, ie rarely and on occasions when I cared little about my appearance
- UV protection: it is frustrating I have not found the SPF. So it's a cream that I used in France, and not when I have to be exposed to direct sunlight. For me this promise is insufficient. It should have been clearly display the SPF, with a minimum 30 index to be solid.
- Antioxidant: no idea, no visible manifestation.
In the end it is a very good base cream to unify easily his (small) imperfections. I propose only 4 stars because of the lack of clarity on UV protection.
