Colour correcting isn't anything new within the beauty world. I'm all but certain we've all dabbled with green anti-redness lotions, potions and creams at some point - and let's not forget the banana powder boom thanks to Kim Kardashian - but have we truly harnessed all colours within the rainbow?
Not really and that is mostly likely a lack of clarity - all too often brands release pastel-hued face products, with no real explanation of what each shade does and as such they are all but ignored. If all you truly want is a brighter complexion and easy to use products, that slot neatly into your daily routine, then the two latest, blue-tinged, L'Oreal Paris Infallible Magic launches are for you.
In 2019 primers are being called upon to up their standards and raising the bar is the new L'Oreal Paris Infallible Magic Essence Drops; part primer, part moisturiser - 100% genius. Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the Magic Essence Drops, let me just say that this is a must-try for anyone who loathes the sensation of heavy facial products; the lighter-than-air texture is beyond comfortable to wear and offers the benefits of several items all in one bottle.
In a nutshell, the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Magic Essence Drops have been created to fuse together the moisturising benefits of Hyaluronic Acid, the brightening capabilities of the colour blue and the light texture of a serum-come-essence lotion to create one multi-serving primer. The gel-like texture quickly soothes and hydrates the skin, creating a flawless canvas for make-up to be applied on top off, free from sticky residue or a heavy sensation - don't fret, the blue-tone quickly fades once applied to the skin.
If you are familiar with Charlotte Tilbury's Wonderglow, then I have a sneaky feeling you will enjoy this; both can be worn under make-up, mixed into cosmetics or as a standalone product. What sets them apart (price point aside) is that the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Magic Essence Drops does seem to grip onto make-up slightly better and as such can claim to be a true primer - otherwise, we may have an accidental dupe on our hands.

You really can't go too wrong with a setting powder (quick, easy and actually useful), can you? As such, if you have yet to dip your toe into the colour correcting waters, this is the ideal starting point. L'Oreal Paris Infallible Magic Loose Powder - a translucent setting powder that has an ever so slight baby blue shift of colour. Much like any other setting powder of this nature, it has been created to keep make-up firmly in place, reduce any visible signs of excess oil on the complexion but what sets this apart is the above-par formulation. L'Oreal Paris Infallible Magic Loose Powder is a finely milled powder, that effortless blends and seemingly melts into the skin, leaving behind no residue, nor settling into fine lines and/or open pores. The result is beautifully matte skin that isn't ashen nor flat. I would also go as far as saying that I do find this powder to have a somewhat blurring capacity, helping to disguise my enlarged pores without the need for a silicone based primer.
The real "magic" if you'll excuse the tragic pun is believe it or not, the light blue hue of this powder. You'd be forgiven for assuming the pretty pastel tint is nothing more than a gimmick, when in actuality, it helps to brighten and lift the skin for a level of radiance most powders (pressed or otherwise) simply can not mimic - particularity helpful for helping to disguise dark under eye circles. For anyone remotely worried about the colour tone of this powder, any traces of blue dissipate as soon as you blend it into the skin. Find it out £8.99 here - link.
