Loreal Lumi Magique Foundation - First Impressions!

I have wanted this foundation for absolutely ages, so when I was gifted it by friend a few days ago, I was extremely excited! From what I had heard about this foundation I thought it would suit me perfectly and what I look for in a foundation, and I have to say it has certainly not let me down! This is more of a first impressions rather than a review because I have only tried this once so far and I wanted to try a different style of post!

From first application I realised it is around a medium coverage, it is quite buildable but I feel if you want a full coverage you will have to do a lot of building. The finish it leaves on the skin is quite luminous and it doesn't cling to any dry patches on the face, also it looks extremely natural and undetectable on the skin which I love!

I first applied this on its own, with no primer and no powder and this is how it lasted throughout the day....

3 hours - Hasn't faded at all on the skin, looks exactly the same from when first applied. Flawless, luminous, natural.

5/6 hours - Still looks flawless although it is starting fade ever so slightly across the nose and cheeks, and it does look slightly more luminous than the beginning and I do not have oily skin at all, so if you do have oily skin this may not be a good one for you!

8/9 hours - Redness is definitely starting to show and at this point I wanted to touch up slightly over them areas with a bit of concealer to add more coverage because it was fading across my nose, cheeks and jawline.

This foundation does not claim to be long lasting but for the average time, it does last pretty well and also keep in mind I didn't use a primer or powder with it! From first impressions, I wouldn't recommend this for oily skin girls because I can see this getting very shiny on you whereas if you have dry skin and you like that luminous look then I think this foundation would be your best friend! I have to say I am in love with this foundation, although the only down side is that the colour range is really bad so I would definitely go in store and test it out on your face before you buy it!
