L'Oréal Paris Magic CC Cream with SPF 11, Anti-Redness and Colour Correcting, With Vitamins B5 and E, Lightweight Hydrating Formula Adapts to Skin Tone for a Natural Glowy Finish, 30 ml

This is a colour correcting cream so it evens out my complexion perfectly - I have yellow undertones to my skin, plus some mild rosacea on my cheeks. I religiously use this every single morning, over my moisturiser, and literally just this, with a flick of mascara and lip gloss, and I feel ready for the day. It gives me confidence, as it’s easy to apply (I dob tiny dots where I need it then blend in with a little brush) and my complexion looks even yet natural. Great value too, this is a staple for me. Oh and it makes a brilliant primer, I can add foundation or just concealer and it all stays put.

This is a review for both the BB and CC under this listing as I've bought both and using both. I originally got the CC version as I'm very pale and red, acne prone. The CC cream is excellent at covering redness, I just wore it instead of foundation and weirdly people commented there was something different about me and I looked well? 🤣 Anyway, although it covered the redness I personally thought it came up a little too orange around the jawline but as it's the best CC cream I've come across I didn't want to stop using it altogether. This is when I decided to get the light 02 BB cream shade. I was skeptical about the shade as I have literally tried every BB cream out there in my quest to stop wearing heavy foundation (I have to wear some form of tinted cream because my face is , as mentioned above, acne prone and red and blotchy, otherwise I'd love to wear nothing). Every one I've tried made me look like an oompa loompa. This is the first one that doesn't! It comes out white and then warms. I use a different blend sponge with both the CC cream and BB cream and now what I do, after my serum and suncream, is add the CC cream first on the red areas like my cheeks, around my nose, and any spots on my chin. Then I add a small splodge of the BB cream on my forehead , cheeks and jaw, middle of nose and chin. Then I blend it all in and the combination of them both looks amazing and now I don't have the orangy look around the jawline as I just use the BB cream on the jawline. The combination is honestly the best thing I've come across and I haven't picked up my foundation in like a month now. I will continue to use the BB cream and CC cream together.I appreciate some say it's not light, don't let that put you off though. I'm very pale, I've always chosen like Ivory in most foundation shades if that helps, then maybe the next one up during summer months. It's a case of just trying it with BB creams. One day you'll find the right one!

First of all, I bought this with no expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. The cream is thick but not overly so, and although it's green to begin with this adjusts as you rub in. I applied using fingertips and it rubbed in very easily. I have combination skin that is more oily than dry, and it worked well all over my face, where some products can be drying or too oily looking. It looked great and very natural for the first few hours of wear. It was light and felt comfortable, leaving skin with a healthy glow and looking moisturised. It didn't feel caked on.After a few hours wear I noticed some areas were starting to look a bit more orange than others, so a quick blend with fingertips to even up. Again it worked well, but I had to repeat this later. For clarity I am very pale and freckles. Overall it's a great product, and perhaps if I blended with a sponge or similar I'd get a different result, but for me once I knew I'd had that orange glow once I felt a bit less comfortable in it. However that could be due to how I blended, my pale, combination skin or a mix of both. I will try using again because it was nice to wear and looked natural, with no dryness or lines on show. For the most part it lasted all day, with my touch up blends, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. It just possibly wasn't quite right for me.

the L'Oréal BB Cream is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a product that offers good coverage while still feeling light and comfortable on the skin. It's perfect for everyday wear when you want a more even complexion without the heaviness of a traditional foundation. I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you prioritize a natural yet perfected look.

Does a really great job of correcting the redness on my cheeks, however it does go orange which is a bit dark for my skin tone. My skin type is combination and this works really well. Not too thick and rubs right in.The only issue I have is the product turning an orange shade, if that could be fixed then honestly couldn’t fault it.

Love this CC cream. I've spent a lot of money getting to find the right product to cover my rosacea and this one beats all the more expensive options I have tried. Don't be put off by the green colour, it quickly adapts to your skin tone and provides really good coverage.

I love this product and wear it everyday. It’s light and blends into skin beautifully. Top tip - it comes out white and adjusts to colour on skin. I wear the light shade. So easy to apply, I use my fingers. It is moisturising and good for my 50 year old skin. It does not feel heavy and lasts well. I buy on repeat!

I like this product and will continue to use it, but the green colour of the nude shade is a bit of a con - it contains tiny red particles that are crushed when you rub it in and turn the cream a standard beige. If you apply too much it’s actually quite dark. But having said that, applied thinly it does work quite nicely to even my skin tone.
