Upon application, the cushion is super saturated in the foundation and a little goes along way on the brush. L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique Cushion Foundation is the 1st cushion drenched in liquid foundation for an ultimate fresh nude finish, in a tap. Secondly, the dewyness means that unless your skin is dry and/or you use powder, your T-zone might get quite shiny. Brands like MAC and YSL are launching cushion foundations, and Yves Rocher has also started offering a one (the Pure Light cushion foundation).

Customise your coverage with the unique tap-tap applicator which allows for effortlessly buildable application on the go: tap a little for a sheer luminous finish, or tap a lot for medium buildable coverage. I do have a big gripe about the stupid decision not to have the shade name or number anywhere on the packaging.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It has a thin, runny consistency so it doesn’t feel heavy or clog your skin even when you build it up.

The packaging is almost identical, but the shade selection is different, so it cannot be excluded that there are differences in the formula as well.Obviously with the second layer you’re increasing the luminosity in the skin but that’s what I like about it. I initially thought I was going to hate the applicator puff that comes with this product but surprisingly I’m enjoying it. You might not like this cushion if you have very oily skin, have more acne/blemish prone skin, or are looking for high coverage but if you want a natural and light, dewy finish, and the no makeup-makeup look then I would recommend this.
