1st Impresions: L'Oreal True Match Cushion and Color Riche Paris Fashion Week Moist Matte Lipsticks

Sponsored

Inspired by the runway of Paris Fashion Week, L’Oréal Makeup Designer takes another notch up with the latest 4 new makeup additions: 

1. True Match Blur Cream
2. True Match Cushion
3. Lucent Magique Mono Blush
4. Color Riche Paris Fashion Week Moist Matte Lipstick

These four products are conveniently packaged in exquisite packaging, and this makes them super travel-friendly. I adore all of them but I am only going to talk more about my number one & two passion - cushion and lipsticks. :)

*Above pic shows how these products reached me in a press kit form (not available for sale in a set though.)

True Match Cushion (SPF 33 PA+++) SGD30.90

Available in 3 shades. Mine is N1 Nude Ivory

Housed in a reflective silver & white case, the exterior doubles up as the second mirror. This cushion feels so compact and handy, I literally take it everywhere I go for easy touch ups and quickly realised touchups are not necessary.

Coverage

In my opinion, this cushion beats all other drugstore cushion on the market now in terms of coverage. Ultra-high in coverage, you can skip concealer unless you have absolutely dark scarring. It can also disguise huge pore size in a few quick taps.

Finish

Matte, but not flat at all. The cushion foundation dries up to a satin finish and you can instantly see how three dimensional your skin looks! It's amazing how matte the finish feels, yet your face appears to be so smooth & plumped it's as if you had some dermal fillers injected. Haha! Best thing yet? No tackiness, stickiness whatsoever and no setting powder needed even for oily skin. Talk about real travel-convenience. 

Lasting Power

It markets itself to last 14 hours. I didn't have the chance to test that out myself - I never needed to leave on my makeup for that long (thank God.) However after 8 hours, makeup looks fresh as before and no touch ups were necessary at all!

No edit, no filter, no concealer, no setting powder, no other makeup except lip balm

Color Riche Paris Fashion Week Moist Matte Lipsticks SGD21.80

Four new matte shades. 

Initially, le silly me kinda mistaken these as an extension to Rouge Magique line as they were mattes as well. But later on I realised they are from another range holding up on its own. Different formulation from Rouge Magique, Color Riche is formulated with Light Illumi™ complex, velvet fusion powder and pure pigments.

They feel extremely smooth & glide on like no other. Pay attention to the contour of the lipstick tip - can you see it is designed with a slight dent (refer pic above)? Makes the product looks classy and application, a dream.

My favourite shade in 232 Beige Couture

Their shades are very wearable except for the purple shade, which may not suit everyone's palettes.

On a personal level, Rouge Magique has already reached my HG level in the category of beautiful matte lippies, so this Color Riche range appeals less to me. Moreover, I didn't like how my lips started peeling after a day's wear.
