L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer Review

I was gifted this & upon seeing the rrp I couldn't believe such a small item could cost so much & wondered what was so great about it.? A slim sleek pearlescent tube with a pump top dispenser that has a luminous liquid that comes out thick with a nice glow silkyness. I have combo skin type and feared this would make me a oil slick bur became pleasantly surprised when it gave me a nice luminous looking skin. I use it both as a primer which ir did help with my foundation & appearance I used with the lumi foundation & a matte foundation which I didn't encounter any negatives. Also used it by mixing it in with my foundation which 1 pump is more then enough & it gives my foundation an instant radiance before applying it to my face. I'm happy to reuse this product but not at that price although it would last long wit 1 pump being quite alot of product.

I wanted to try this for so long because I absolutely love Dewey looking skin! I splurged on this when there was a bit of a sale ($40 for the amount it has is a bit stupid).

You don't need much, not even a full pump and it should cover your whole face. It leaves such a beautiful luminous glow that shines subtlety through my foundation which is exactly what I wanted.

Buuuuuuuut my skin absolutely HATES it. I have very sensitive/dry skin and it just gets so dry and I break out so bad when I use it.

I'm so gutted because I really do love it so every now and again I'll use it...... but only maybe once every couple a weeks. I'll probably end up giving it to a friend.

I wish it loved me as much as I love it. But nope.

so yea i decided to give a go a few weeks back. I used it with a nice matte foundation, i have dry skin so it wasnt as great it kind of made my skin abit irritated. It does have a nice glow to it though but would not recommend to anyone with sensitive dry skin

This is a very glowy primer that is beautiful paired with a more matte foundation for a natural glow, and a dewy foundation for a more intense dewy finish if you have dryer skin. Its very thin, i require 2 pumps to cover my face properly. I don't really find it hydrating much at all. It does leave a tacky finish, which is great for your foundation to stick to over the top, prolonging the wear of your makeup

After hearing how amazing L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer is from friends and from reading reviews on here I bought it to find out for myself.

The packaging is sleek and really quite pretty. I enjoy the pump, though all my primers feature pumps so I guess that's standard.

The product is a little more liquid than I expected and the first time I used it I used way too much and looked like I'd doused myself in highlighter - so at least I knew it actually was an illuminator. Since then I've found about a two-third pump covers my face nicely without going overboard.

The scent is not my favourite. It smells quite chemical, however I don't notice it once it's on along with my other makeup.

My skin does look more radiant once used, however I don't notice my makeup staying on longer than usual, and also even though my skin's quite dry, though normal on my T-zone, it feels a touch oily by the end of the day and not in a good way. I imagine this would be ideal for those with completely dry skin.

I'll continue to use this on the days that my skin is extra dry, but I won't repurchase as I have other primers that work better, and I'll just use highlighters to give myself luminosity.

I have to admit while I do enjoy using this primer my review is based around the fact I bought this product for $10 overseas. For that reason I think it does a nice job at adding a luminosity to the face and giving the skin some slip so foundation glides over easily.

While it does add a glow and hydration neither of these lasted on my face and after an hour or so you wouldnt know I had used it (a shame as I love dewy skin).

The fluid is runny, lightweight, blends easily and has a shimmer glow (not glittery) which I love. I'm not sure if this primer is also meant to make your makeup last longer or not but cant say it prolonged the wear of my foundation at all.

I really do not think it is worth $38 (especially for 20mls) and would not recommend nor purchase it for that price point. Sure, give it a go if you can pick it up cheap though.

I highly enjoy using this primer every day. It makes your face (and your hands) shimmery. I think that is helps my foundation go on smoothly and stay on pretty well out through the day.

This product is great for all over luminization on the face, it has a thinner consistency than strobe cream but is pretty much identical to the now discontinued strobe liquid. Does a great job of giving the face a glowing appearance.
