After falling in love with another drug store foundation last winter, I decided to branch out and give a few other drug store formulas a chance at winning my heart. The one that succeeded (for the most part) is the not exactly new Magic Smooth Souffle foundation from L'Oreal.
It comes in a square jar and has the texture of a thick mousse. A little goes a long way. This foundation is very creamy and emollient in how it feels, thanks to a decent amount of silicone.
This foundation will give you a creamy, radiant and dewy finish, which I adore. I find that it sits on the skin slightly differently than liquid foundations, which helps to make fine lines disappear and gives an airbrushed finish.
(Wearing Magic Smooth Souffle with a light powder to set the product.)
The only downside to this foundation is that because the finish is so dewy and light, it tends to wear away a little faster than my usual liquid foundation.
However, sealing it with a powder helps, as does not talking with a flat, glass cell phone against your cheek. A decent primer will also extend the wear time.
All in all, I am really pleased with this foundation. It's been on my vanity for about two weeks and I find that I've been reaching for it almost every morning.
