I have heard so many good things about this new L’Oreal Paris cushion foundation from the US that I have been desperate to try it out and get all the shades swatched on the blog. And now I have them here to show you. Here’s the low down on the L’Oreal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation – swatched and applied!!
So I have tried a few different cushion foundations and I really like the concept. It’s basically all about liquid foundation in a compact and it’s a super convenient way to use foundation.

You simply press the applicator into the cushion and then just tap the foundation into the skin. You can go for a light luminous layer, or build it up for a medium coverage. This isn’t a full coverage foundation but I did find it quite skin perfecting.
L’Oreal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation Before & After
Before:
After:
As you will be able to see, the L’Oreal Cushion delivers a very natural looking coverage and is very skin like. The texture of my skin looks very similar in both the before and after photos, yet the tone is much more even, redness is disguised and pores are less noticeable. I really love this softly dewy finish and you can keep layering this up to get the coverage you want without the fear of it going cakey – it is weightless.
This is a perfect foundation for your handba as the delivery system and sponge make it so convenient. Every now and then you can wash out the sponge with warm water and soap and leave it to air dry. When the product starts to run low, L’Oreal suggest flipping the cushion to access more foundation.
My only reservation is that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of product, and I can’t see it lasting as long as a regular bottle of foundation. I will have to see. All in all, I think it’s great and if you want light to medium coverage with a healthy glow finish, this is definitely one to try.
familiar cushion compact casing but this is a cushion blusher instead. As I flipped over the casing in anticipation, I see the familiar mirror and puff that’s associated with BB cushions. The casing size is similar to any normal BB Cushions too, made it convenient to carry and use anywhere anytime.
Infused in watery cushion, it is very cooling and moisturizing. We could create dewy flushed, dimensional plumy cheeks with its magic tappings that lits up cheek apples with a dimensional brightness. The signature Byron Liquid Light brightens the complexion for an instantly volumised look. Just a few dabs and it made me looklike I have just stepped out of the shower with natural flush.
How to use Loreal Paris Lucent Magique Cushion Glow Blush?
- Apply very light pressure to the cushion using the applicator puff for daily look. Gently tap the puff onto the skin from the apple of the cheek to the hairline. With this pigmented formula, a little goes a long way.
- For a more intense color pop, press harder to the cushion using the applicator puff to release more fluid. Gently tap the puff onto the skin.
This blush also works when applied with your fingers, a sponge, or a liquid foundation brush. It blends easily on my skin, and the color is buildable hence you could create your own look easily. The colors is very intense, a little bit is all I need. The natural glow payoff is long lasting even on my oily combination skin. No wonder it has become the must have makeup product this year, I’m sold.
Lucent Magique Cushion Blush is Made in Korea, 11g retails at only RM49.90. They are available in 3 shades.
Jamie and I strongly recommended the P2 Pink Fantasia shade as it is so beautiful to be used every day.
