Its funny how one day you look at yourself in the mirror like you've
done a million times before and suddenly realise something different.
One day I realised that I naturally have quite red cheeks and this is
why my blush always looks different on me than others. I saw an advert
for the
L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique CC Creams and since it was available in three different types,
Anti-Redness, Anti-Fatigue and
Anti-Dullness I decided to order the Anti-Redness and Anti-Dullness versions.
**
Before I go any further please bear in mind that these photos were
taken a day or two after a spray tan but naturally I am the lighter -
and in some cases - the lightest shade of most foundation brands **
As
always when I returned from Boots I already had my make up so I opened
up the tubes and applied a little blob to my hand. I already knew that
the Anti-Redness version would come out of the tube green and the
Anti-Dullness version would come out of the tube purple but I was amazed
at when I started to rub it into my hand the colour changed into a
foundation sort of shade. I thought to myself 'they really are
magique!'
The
next day I decided to try the Anti-Redness version out but as I applied
it to my cheeks first and blended it I realised it was far too dark for
my skintone but covered the redness. I blended it out further and it
then matched my colouring but the redness came through underneath. The
Anti-Dullness version also does not match my skintone, its a little
better but the whole point I wanted to test them was for the redness
really.

The part about this product that I cant understand is
that redness will show through more on paler skins. When I tan whether
it be on holiday or false tan it masks the redness anyway so why make a
CC cream that the people will only fit the people that need it less? I
just dont understand it.

The bottom line is... I want this stuff to work. I
really do. I will use it but try to sheer it out just to get rid of
it. It might be good for someone who is a medium skintone with a recent
scar or mark that they want to cover but that going to be about it.
