I do love a new drugstore foundation launch and there hasn’t been one this exciting in the UK for an awfully long time. Ladies and gents (I have a surprisingly high male readership, hi guys!) let me introduce; the L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation. Just in case that part got your heart beating a little quicker, there’s more: the Glam Bronze Cushion De Soleil also – I know, I know guys…
If you’re a makeup magpie like me, you might have seen these beautiful cushion foundation and bronzer plastered all over the pages of fashion magazines for the last few weeks. And if you’re a bit of a beauty addict you’ll probably know that this product marks the occasion of L’Oréal finally cottoning on to the latest trend in the Asian beauty market; the cushion. Fabulously packaged in purple metallic packaging for the UK market, the brand brings us easy coverage on the go with this travel friendly compact.
Inside both products you’ll find a sponge drenched in a liquid formula, with a sponge included in the cap to make life easier for applying out and about. I have to say, I couldn’t wait to try these products, I love a new foundation as much as the next person and the idea of a liquid bronzer sounded awesome!
Inside the compact of the L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation there’s a semi-matte, glowing foundation waiting to be discovered. I applied this product with the sponge that came with the compact and found that bouncing it lightly into the cushion and then on to the skin worked great for giving me a smooth application with a medium to full coverage. I’ve since used this product with a brush and a Beauty Blender and honestly, I love them both! I find using the Beauty Blender a little easier at my dressing table, but then the sponge included is perfect for touching up throughout the day.
The Nude Magique Cushion Foundation gets a huge thumbs up from me, it’s great to pop in your bag and reapply when you need a little bit of perfecting. Often I want to go out after work and don’t have time to go home, so I’ve been using this to add a little extra coverage and glow to areas like my chin (it eats foundation, don’t ask) and cheeks (I’m a glasses wearer) where I find foundation fades throughout the day. Without touch up’s I was surprised to find this product lasts about five hours if set with a little powder.
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the Glam Bronze Cushion De Soleil from this collection! Now we are coming into a little bit of warmer weather in the UK I am always looking for new ways to warm up my complexion and boy does this product do the trick! I used my Morphe Flat Bronzer Brush to blend the colour under my cheekbones and around the perimeters of the face and instantly feel in love. The Glam Bronze Cushion De Soleil manages to give a wash of warm colour, keep the glow of the Nude Magique Cushion Foundation poking through and stay in place throughout the day. Just dab you brush onto the sponge, pick up a little product and bounce your way to perfectly bronzed skin.
So have you tried the L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation or Glam Bronze Cushion De Soleil? Or will you be buying one soon? Let me know in the comments below!

It’s so hard to find a good foundation isn’t it, but this one looks great.
It can be hard but I would absolutely recommend this one!
Thank you for commenting x
I love the look of these, always been a fan of L’oreal so I will have to try these x
They are one of my fav brands too.
Thank you for commenting x

It’s a gorgeous demi-matte, so very natural looking.
Thank you for your comment x
It’s about time drugstore foundations made a good comeback, these look fab. The concept made me frown a little when I first read your post but the finish looks amazing!
You’re very right Victoria! There hasn’t been one this exciting for a while!
Thank you so much x
These look great, I haven’t tried either of them but I am definitely going to be checking them out, I hope they have a foundation shade to suit me, I struggle with drugstore foundations xx

I found there was a pretty good selection. If you struggle with affordable foundation matching try the Loreal True Match range or the Revlon Photofinish – both have huge colour selections. And always dot a few on the jawline, blend & pop outside to see what they look like in natural day light to find your match!
Thank you for commenting x
I have seen the foundation mentioned everywhere and for the last week I have been adamant I need it in my life, I am now adamant I need the bronzer too! The finished look on you is absolutely flawless! xx
I know why you mean, as soon as I heard the news these were coming out I had made my mind up that I needed them!
Thank you so much x
Interesting product, I like your step by step pics! :)
Thanks!
I picked both these up too. I’m so impressed by them! The bronzer surprised me how dry and matte it was considering it was a liquid, if that makes any sense haha xx

It makes sense, it does dry pretty quickly but I found it easy to blend so I’m still in love!
Thank you for commenting x
I really love the packaging they come in. Looks really nicely presented. Im not so clued up on makeup myself though,
They are very pretty! Stick around if you’d like, I post 5 times weekly about makeup and beauty :)
Thank you for your comment x
Ohh I love the look of both of these – the cushion foundation seems like something I really need to try! x
It’s certainly a new take on the average foundation!
Thank you for your comment Sarah X
These sound like lovely product and well presented. I’m going to give them both a try.
Let me know if you do, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Thank you for commenting x
Love the look of both of those. Looks lovely presented too
They are awesome!
Thanks for commenting x
They definitely sound great. I can see them being good for everyday use.
Very right Liz, these have been getting a lot of use since I bought them!
Thank you for commenting x
These are so fricking cute! I want them for the packaging alone x
Haha! I know what you mean, they look lovely on my dressing table!
Thanks for commenting x
I’ve just tried my first ever cushion foundation from Lancome and love how well it works with my skin, so I will definitely have to try the L’Oreal version x

I’ve been eyeing up the Lancôme one for a while but I knew we’d be getting an affordable one soon so held out for this one to see if I liked the idea!
Thank you for your comment x
The packaging is so cute and I definitely want to try the foundation. L’Oreal seem to be doing it right when it comes to foundations – I love them.
I know I’m in love with the packaging – simple things in life! Loreal are my fav for drugstore foundations!
Thank you for your comment x
I dont have many Loreal products just the lipsticks but I am loving the look of the foundation.
It’s a lovely one to try!
Thank you for your comment x
I’ve always been intrigued by cushion based cosmetics but I’ve never actually tried one. I think I might have to pick up the bronzer
I was blown away by the bronzer, it was a lot better than I expected, I love how thin the formula is so its easy to build up!
Thank you for commenting x
I still haven’t tried any cushion foundation so I am really tempted to give this a try. Would it be suitable for oily skin?
Ela BellaWorld
I have found that this formula seperates a little on oily skin, so I would say powder is a must buy other than that it holds up pretty well :)
Thank you for commenting Ela, lovely to see you back Mrs!

They have both given your skin a really smooth finish, I am hopeless at applying foundation, but this sounds quite easy, so I may give it a go.
It really did even my skin out hugely! If say this one is pretty easy, just bounce bounce on the sponge with the sponge it comes with or a brush and you’re ready to go!
Thank you for commenting x
I’ve seen loads of people talking about these foundations so I might need to grab one soon and give it a go as there’s so few foundations you can easily reapply when out and about x
You’re so right Rhian, it’s nice to see a product that’s made for people who are very busy and need to do their makeup out and about sometimes!
Thank you for commenting x
I think both these products are really useful but particularly the Nude foundation.
Great for on the go!
Thank you for commenting x
I do want to give these a try at some point. I’ve got a few foundations on the go at the moment so maybe when one of those run out I’ll purchase a cushion foundation to try!
I know the feeling! I didn’t need another foundation in my collection, but what can I say, I have a problem! Haha!
Thank you for your comment x
Ooh, this looks interesting! There’s a lot of buzz about these lately and I can see why, I’m keen to try the foundation out on my oily skin too. x
I have found the foundation to seperate a little on my oily patches so be sure to set with a powder if you try this product out Zoe and you’ll be fine :)
Thank you for commenting x
Looks great! never been good with make up but maybe this one could help me
This is a super easy foundation to start with Mary!
Thank you for commenting x
Both look gorgeous! Never used any but I would love to try first the L’Oréal Nude Magique Cushion Foundation. :)
They are great products to keep eye out for! Let me know if you do Jessica, I’d love to hear what you thought!
Thank you for commenting X
Ooh, liquid bronzer sounds really interesting! It looks so easy to apply.
It was very easy to apply and blended easier than I thought it would too!
Thank you for commenting x
I just got foundation cushion this morning actually! L’Oreal is one of our clients at work so my boss came back with a load of goodies for me :) Glad to hear you liked it!
You’re one very lucky girl Laura! Let me know how you get on with the foundation, if live to hear your thoughts!
Thank you for commenting x
I love the look of these, definitely on my ‘need to buy’ list x
I have both of these and I can honestly say I love them!
Especially the bronzer becuse it’s so easy to blend and looks extremely natural.
