What the gurus are saying

This delivers a luminous, skin-like glow without looking heavy or like you're wearing makeup, especially praised by those with dry or dull skin. The lightweight, serum-based texture applies like lotion and sets instantly, so it works alone or layered under makeup. Most reviewers raved about it; however, reports indicate it can cake and settle into wrinkles, so those with oily skin may want to patch test first.

"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."

"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 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."

"This is a highlighter, one of the first highlighters I ever tried, and it's so beautiful. One of the things I love best about this is that it comes in different shades, I wear it in shade 9002."

"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."
