Its ok, definitely not my fav powder.

This make was the best present; I got it for one of my friends and she LOVED it. I got it for her because she said "The only thing that makes me feel confident is my make up." I felt as f I had to do something for her. So she kept giving me hints of what her favorite make up website. So the least I could do was go there and look for what her skin tone was. At first it was hard t find but after words I got through every thing and found it. So I got with my friends and we all decided to get her this make up, and when we gave it to her she burst into tear it was an extravagant moment with her and our friends. So that's why I'm giving this review five stars.

After watching dramatic mac video I have decided to buy the powder to use it on top of my concealer for a longer finish - it works!

The L'Oreal Nude Magique BB powder is about the best thing I have found for my skin; aged 41, fairly oily, pale, a bit blotchy and prone to looking tired without makeup. I have really struggled over the years to find products that don't make me look an odd colour/like I've rubbed my face with lard/like I've purposely chosen to highlight my pores/feels like I am wearing a mask/any combination of these. A foundation and powder is getting unflattering on my skin these days and I found the BB powder while looking for cream-to-powder options. It has just enough coverage to even out my skin while still looking natural and can be put on fairly heavily without caking through the day. It looks really pale and powdery initially but settles down and looks natural by the time I get to work. Hints of blemishes will show through, but I find that there is still enough coverage for me to be comfortable - I don't want to look like I'm under full makeup anymore. Some people may want more coverage. It usually keeps oiliness pretty much under control (on those few days a month where skin is at its worst, a little oil shows through. However it copes very well with being blotted with tissue without coming off the skin between the pores while leaving pores full and making me look weird (as a BB cream does to me). I flirted with the True Match powder too but didn't finish the pack - that leaves me much oilier - so am now straight back on the BB powder.
