A compact powder from L’oreal at the price tag of Rs.399 and that too in hot pink shade! I was sold! And when I say from L’oreal, I lay emphasis on their quality base products and not just the big name 😀
Product description:
L’Oreal Paris brings to you the Mat Magique pressed powder – a product that ensures your make-up remains fresh all day long and keeps your skin shine free for 12 hours. With 5 shades, specially created to suit Indian skin tones, Mat Magique has natural volcanic perlite minerals that absorb sebum and sheen giving you a velvety finish that lasts for 12 hours. With the added benefit of SPF 34 PA+++ your skin is protected from the sun and looks blemish free, healthy and radiant all day long.Â
My experience with it:
Â
The packaging is beautiful! It is housed in a round transparent packaging which is enhanced by the beautiful hot pink shade. I wouldn’t be throwing the beautiful cardboard box. It opens and shuts down easily. The sponge has a separate compartment below the powder and is extremely soft to touch The mirror is also housed in there only. Since the sponge is thick, it helps pack a good coverage on face.
Â
The powder is velvety soft. I swatched it once at store and touched it again 3-4 times just to get the feel again..hehe! It is really finely milled and does not have a dry touch to it. It blends into the skin easily and leaves a fine finish. As for the finish, I would say that it is satin.
Â
One thing why it has scored brownie points from my side is because it can be used as a setting powder as well. I bought Revlon powder especially because it was targeted as a travel-friendly loose powder. But it turned out to be disappointing. But this one from L’oreal works great to set my base. The coverage is buildable from light to heavy.
Â
Coming to staying power, I bought this powder in summers itself but started to use it religiously only a month back when the weather got better. For my super oily skin, it’s hardly a performer. However it performs decently on my oily skin in pleasant weather. The shade I have bought i.e. N2, Nude Vanilla is one tone lighter than my skin tone which is perfect for my oily skin. It doesn’t let my skin look dull before 3-4 hours.
Â
The shade selection is also impressive. All of them have considerable yellow tones in them. Another major bonus is that it comes with SPF34 and PA+++! Yay!
Â
All in all, I quite like it!Â

I have it and I love it for its fine texture just perfect as setting powder.. Bit drying for my dry skin but doesn't hurt over a creamy foundation!!
Nice product!
This is a great compact.
I have tried this one and I like it cause it kept my face oil free during the weather transition that occurred 🙂
