L'Oreal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion

Mrs K here. With all of the hype around this product I assumed it was nice, but tried it with measured expectations nevertheless. It's better than I thought it would be, and turns out it's going in permanent rotation. I've tried it under foundation and BB cream, and it gives my skin that "lit from within" quality that matters more and more as I get older. My over 50 skin can look dull, despite the care I take in keeping my skincare routine on point. It's odorless; it doesn't clog my pores or irritate my skin; it doesn't pill under makeup; in the afternoon I like to put a little on my cheekbones over makeup, to refresh my skin, and it just looks like I'm lit by candlelight. It isn't greasy, and I really appreciate the balance they achieved at L'Oreal with this: it glows but isn't glittery or too young, though in my 20s I'd have loved it. It doesn't go "club" but there's enough glow that I can see that yummy highlight, and I honestly couldn't love this more. The other part I love is the price. I spend an awful lot on skincare and makeup, and while I use products spanning the drugstore counter and the luxury counters at Nordstrom, I just didn't want to spend Charlotte Tilbury money on an "extra". Honestly, I don't see the need, when this unbelievably awesome product exists. I use the "fair-light" shade and it blends seamlessly with my skin. For reference I wear "cool bone" in Estee Lauder Futurist foundation and my skin is a fair-light, cool undertone. It's very forgiving, so go with the usual range of your foundation or BB or CC products. Come summer, I think this will be great by itself, over sunscreen, and with a bit of concealer, as well, because while it doesn't have a ton of coverage, it has*just* enough to even skin tone, and the blurring and light-diffusing properties really pull their weight. It has been a while since I have been this enthusiastic in reviewing a trending product, and I hope it helps anyone who is interested and on the fence.
