Glowing skin is always a good look, yet I find myself reaching for luminizing lotions most frequently in the balmier months, when pared-down makeup and bare-faced radiance feel particularly appropriate. Kendall Jenner shares my affinity for glow-enhancing beauty products; specifically, the True Match Lumi Glotion from L’Oréal Paris, per a recent Vogue Beauty Secrets video in which the L’Oréal ambassador gave a masterclass in “spring French girl” makeup. The supermodel demonstrated how she applies the formula — post-skincare, foundation, contour, and blush — by tapping it onto the high points of her cheekbones and swiping it down the bridge of her nose to create a natural-looking highlight.
Jenner is hardly the sole celebrity to use L’Oréal’s lotion; Martha Stewart’s makeup artist, Daisy Toye, previously shared with People that she relies on the formula “every day,” dubbing it the secret to the 81-year-old’s “dewy” skin. (Case in point: Stewart’s iconic Sports Illustrated cover.) Even shoppers are similarly enthralled with the best-selling formula — nearly 26,000 people have given it a perfect five-star rating on Amazon.
The L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion is, as it sounds, a cross between a hydrating face lotion and a complexion-enhancing highlighter. The product comes in five shades, ranging from pearly pink to deep bronze, and features a creamy liquid formula that spreads like butter and blends seamlessly. Created for all skin types, including dry and mature, the glycerin-infused cream resists settling into lines or caking; instead, it imparts a plump, youthful glow.
I’ve tried the product and loved it enough to finish an entire tube in a single summer. After watching Jenner use it, I’m reinspired to snap it up again — this time in Jenner’s go-to shade, i902,, per the brand. For a limited time, the highlighting lotion is marked down to just $14 at Amazon, making now an ideal opportunity to stock up.
Furthermore, the luminizer is incredibly versatile: Apply a penny-sized dollop to the entire face — either on bare skin to create a natural, ‘I-woke-up-like-this’ glow, under foundation for lit-from-within luminosity, or mixed into foundation at your discretion. Additionally, the lotion functions as a natural-looking highlighter, should you choose to dab it on the high points of your face. Tap it atop cheekbones à la Jenner for a lifted look or beneath the brows for an instant eye-brightening effect. Finally, feel free to experiment with the lotion as a body highlighter — one of my favorite applications — by swiping across collarbones, shoulders, and shins for a subtle, head-to-toe glow in the warmer months, which call for skimpier, limb-baring attire.
For natural-looking luminosity, shop the secret behind some seriously glowy celebrity complexions: the L’Oéral Paris True Match Lumi Glotion. Hurry — summer is quickly approaching, and the $14 Amazon discount won’t last forever.
