Brilliant Blur

Ashmitha Ramgathi

I purchased 2 of the Magic Blur Finishing Creams, one for my Mum and one for me. My mum doesn’t wear much make-up and was extremely pleased with the results (she uses it in conjunction with the Magic Blur Nude Magique cream as well). She says it makes her look brighter and more awake. My mum is blessed in the sense that she doesn’t have many wrinkles, but this helps the overall appearance of her skin.

The packaging was aesthetically pleasing, it came in a shiny red cardboard box (like most of the Revitalift range, I suspect) covered in plastic.

From my personal experience with the product (as someone that wears makeup every day): Given the thick consistency, the sound of the product coming out of the tube is a bit off-putting but once you apply it to your face, but it reduces the appearance of pores drastically. I find it a little difficult to differentiate between this “Blur Cream” and an everyday primer.

If I were to compare it to a primer, I would go for the Smashbox one rather. However, this product is far cheaper and is oily-skin friendly. It does leave your skin feeling smooth and velvety – a luxurious feeling. I would recommend this product.

L’Oreal’s adverts are powerful. You have to have it. This mattifies, extends the life on your makeup and makes your skin feels silky smooth almost under an invisible layer. It illuminates and in my case functioned like pollyfiller filling in tiny lines around my eyes and making my pores seem smaller.
