What the gurus are saying

Gurus overwhelmingly praise this product for its natural, skin-like glow and lightweight texture that works beautifully worn alone or under foundation. The consensus is that it requires minimal product, dries down quickly, and doesn't feel heavy or obvious on skin. One reviewer experienced caking, creasing, and separation issues, particularly when layered with primer or powder, suggesting it may not suit all skin types or application methods. The main caveat is that it works best on dry or normal skin rather than very oily complexions.

"This is the L'Oreal Lumi Glotion. I'm always chasing that healthy skin-like glow, like not shiny or greasy, just skin that looks alive, and this product does this really, really well. Sometimes I wear this and nothing else because honestly, I can't be arsed wearing makeup every day, but this just makes me look better. Makes me look healthier. It's one of those products that just lifts everything without looking like you've put anything on. I use a small amount of this and I apply it with my fingers and it gives that soft sheen to the skin. It's nothing heavy, it's nothing obvious. This is in the color light glow, which is 902. And it's so great on its own, it's fabulous under makeup, plus it makes my skin feel super soft, which is a bonus. Some of these type of products can be a bit heavy on the skin, and this is just beautiful. I suspect this is going to be coming with me everywhere this summer."

"I love the L'Oreal Lumi Glotion. You just need the tiniest bit, but it gives you this really beautiful luminosity to your skin. And especially if you wear like a medium or more full coverage foundation, having a luminous product underneath makes the skin read less flat and just more radiant."

10 Tricks to Look WAY Prettier (That No One Talks About) | Dr. Sam Ellis
"I've been starting out by applying my L'Oreal Lumi Glotion. And this just adds the most beautiful radiance to your skin. I would not use it if you're super oily, but if you have dry skin or your skin's looking dull, this just adds a gorgeous luminosity and wakes up your whole complexion. I truly apply it just like lotion. I'll squirt a little bit into my fingertips and then just rub it over my entire face and a little bit down my neck. Once that dries down, which is essentially instantly, which is another reason why I like it. It totally sets up on your skin so you're not transferring it throughout the day."

"I didn't mind how it looked most of the day but it's just not going to be a favorite of mine that I'm going to reach for again and again. It looks kind of cakey and very modeled on the surface, very cracked, sliding around. It's definitely settled in wrinkles. I don't love this. It's doing all the things that I really don't love in a foundation. There are better foundations from the drugstore that don't get shiny six or seven hours in. The primer sure didn't help it, everywhere that I put on the primer it looks twice as bad as it does on the non-primer side. I had powdered it with a powder that made everything look a little bit cakey and not great, and it didn't keep the shine from the makeup from coming through. For me, this is kind of a miss."

"I really like the glow that it's giving, the shade match is fabulous. It does kind of dry down, which is interesting because it feels so watery, but then it almost feels like it sets in a way. I do feel like the finish is very, very skin-like, very luminous. This shade is great, 100 percent a cool tone, it's like a perfect match for me right now. I really like the texture, I like how watery it is. It's serum-based, and overall, especially from a normal distance, this actually looks really pretty."

"This L'Oreal Lumi Glotion, I love this stuff. I like to use it with these cream concealers under the eye, then I put a couple of dots of this on my cheek and I just sort of rub them all together. These Lumi Lotions are great. I'm currently using the light glow shade and I actually need to reorder this, it's almost done. I've used the medium too. I can't say enough good things about this."
