L’Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder  (Rs 399)

When every drugstore brand is increasing its prices like crazy, L’Oreal paris has surprised all of us by launching a quality product at unbelievable price. L’Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder comes in 5 shades that cover almost all skintones.

Mattify your look and keep your makeup fresh all day long with this new magical pressed powder-

• Keeps your makeup all fresh and in place for 12 hours!
• Comes in 5 different shades to suit the varying tones of indian complexion.
• Comes with SPF 34 PA+++ that protects your skin against the harsh effects of sun.
• Its special mineral formula absorbs excess sebum and keeps you fresh for hours.

Packaging is similar to L’Oreal Paris True Match Powder. However due to bright pink accents, it looks quite fun and pretty. The compact has powder and in a separate compartment it also has a full size mirror and sponge. Its quite travel friendly and comes really handy for on-the-go touch ups. In this hot and sweaty weather of delhi it has become my travel companion.

Shades – There are 5 shades available out of which 3 start with G and rest two with N. I am guessing N stands for neutral since they have quite neutral tone, and G for golden and these two shades are meant for medium to deeper complexions. I was initially confused between N6 (Nude Honey) and G2 golden ivory but N6 is what I wear these days. Choosing your perfect shade can be quite confusing since they all look the same in the pan except for G7 which is the darkest.

Texture & Formula – despite of being matte, the texture of Mat Magique powders is quite smooth & non-chalky. I generally avoid matte products since my skin is dry-combination and such formulas look powdery/ cakey on me, however a light layer of this powder keeps my T-Zone shine free and doesn’t look cakey. The powder is finely milled and disappears into the skin providing a matte finish. Though it doesn’t stay shine free for a long time. Best part is that formula offers SPF 34 PA++ which is amazing considering that Indian weather is all about sun shining on our heads for 10 months in a year. Additional sun protection is always welcomed. 

As long as staying power is concerned, it keeps skin matte for good 3 hours, or unless you decide to take a walk in hot humid weather. even my skin which is dry-combi, starts looking shiny on the T-Zone after couple of hours.

Overall Thoughts

A good budget pressed powder that covers variety of skintones. L’Oreal Paris Mat Magique All-In-One Pressed Powder is a great everyday powder if you are looking for something to set makeup or a light dusting of powder to get rid of the dullness, however it wouldn’t control oil for more than 2-3 hours if you have oily skin.
