L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer Review

Not a fan.

I had high hopes for this product seeing as I had heard so many great reviews on it. However I don't know why, but for me, it didn't do anything.

My foundation looked no different when I used it as a primer, and I tried it with a few different foundations to make sure. And it didn't make my foundation last any longer than normal.

It did give a pretty sheen to my skin, so I tried using it as a highlighter, but it didn't really work for that either. Looked ok at the start, but wore off after a short amount of time and left my foundation looking a little streaky in the areas I had applied the primer.

The consistency of the product is a little to watery for it to even be a primer in my opinion.

Kinda disappointed, because I wanted to like this!

I was not a fan of this primer , i had watched a lot of you tubers rave about this product and i feel quite sad that i can't rave about it as well as it is ment to be a dupe for strobe cream by mac. The consistency of this primer was really thin, you really do need to give it a good shake other wise it comes out sort of separated! I found it was easy to apply and the pump gave me the right amount of product each time. I really like the packaging its pearl white and gold it looks high end. I was so disappointed that this didn't give me that glowing skin that i was hoping for, it looked really nice before i put foundation on then once my foundation was on, i could hardly notice it! i just wanted glowy skin like the you tubers but it just didn't happen not even when i wore just bb cream. I wont be repurchasing.

I so wanted to love this primer, it felt very hydrating and nice on my face. It made my makeup last better during the day. However a week after using this I got a reaction and my face broke out. Unfortunately, it's too rich for my sensitive skin. Now, onto the search for another primer that doesn't irritate my skin!

This was a primer I had to get my hands on after I swatched it in farmers and fell in love. It made my hand shimmery, glowy, and looking amazing. Then I watched a vlogger use this in a tutorial and that was the nail in my coffin, and I brought this product the next time I saw it.

The product actually has lovely packaging. It comes with a pearly white and gold colour theme, which I think looks nice and reflects the actual product which is something that makes sense to me. The packaging has a pump like feature which is used to dispense the product. It’s really effective, and means that not much product would be wasted at the bottom of the container.

This primer is a lovely texture. Its thin compared to other primers I’ve tried, but it doesn’t run anywhere. Plus it has almost a slightly creaminess to it which I like. It has a beautiful luminosity to it, with a shimmer component, and let me say it is shimmery but there are no chunks of glitter, so it gives your skin a nice glow, not a sparkly mess. Bonus.

This primer does give my skin a nice glow, and a dewy look. But in saying that, once foundation is applied you can hardly notice it, and then I find it’s not as long lasting as I would have hoped, and when I look in the mirror before lunch, I can hardly notice the dewiness that I saw in the morning. Not ideal.

Overall, the effects of this primer are short lasting, and honestly, I could probably recreate this formula by mixing some of my high beam into a primer that actually is long lasting to create a similar effect so I won’t be repurchasing this.

I have used this a few times but found it quite oily. I didnt use all over my face as i found it just made me look shiny rather than illuminated!

I recently tried out the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer after hearing fantastic things about it both online and from friends. Sadly though, it didn't work so well for me and I will not be repurchasing!

I love the packaging and principal behind this product - it comes in a sleek, pretty, pearly-coloured pump bottle, and claims to illuminate and prime your skin before foundation. I love the consistency and pearly nature of this product, and how it instantly smooths out my skin. It makes foundation very easy to apply and much easier to blend in, with a subtle glow underneath it. Immediately after finishing my makeup my skin looks glowy, dewy, and really pretty.

After a few hours, however, my skin still develops red patches and I need to top up my foundation just like normal. In addition to this, my skin looked more pourous and lack lustre than it did with just a layer of foundation and no primer. The soft glow was gone, and my face just looked a bit weird!

I tend to have quite sensitive, breakout-prone skin anyway, so it might just be my temperamental preference! But this product really didn't do much for me at all, and I will be returning to my simple routine of moisturising then immediately applying foundation.

Have to say this doesn't always agree with my skin type and I do prefer the MAC strobe cream, in saying this it does have a good amount of sheen to it. Would only use maybe once a week due it clogging up my pores too much...hello breakouts if your not careful.

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
