L'Oréal Magic Smooth Soufflé - 20ml - $21.99 - in 12 shades: 510 Light Ivory, 512 Classic Ivory, 514 Natural Ivory, 516 Nude Beige, 518 Natural Buff, 520 Creamy Natural, 522 Natural Beige, 524 Buff Beige, 526 Sand Beige, 528 True Beige, 530 Sun Beige, 532 Classic Tan - if you've been thinking about a new foundation this is one to check out - the texture of the foundation is amazing and feels so light on the skin that if feels like you aren't wearing anything.
But the best part is the finish, the foundation contains a new technology called mati-crystal which is an active mattifying gel which has a transparent structure that absorbs shine to mattify the complexion and lastingly maintain clarity - never before have you been able to have a foundation that is both matte and luminous. Ordinary mattifying foundations contain mattifying powder that absorbs the oil found in sebum to provide matte results but the complexion stays dull. The mati-crystal technology in Magic Smooth Soufflé allows light to pass through and captures sebum to restore exceptional luminosity.
The best comparison I can make from foundations I have tried is the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation except the texture and coverage is way better. I am also pleased to note that the Magic Smooth Soufflé doesn't turn orange on me the way the Maybelline Mousse is prone to do.
