Photoshop in a Bottle: L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer

No photoshopping required! 100% unedited.

Looking for an update to your makeup bag for spring? Look no further than the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer! I heard a little bit about this primer through the grapevine but was not convinced that I truly needed it... until now. This is definitely not a traditional primer, which would normally be used to extend length the amount of time foundation lasts on the face or create a smooth base that covers pores. This primer creates a luminous, glowy base that shines through foundation to create a soft focus finish to the skin. Some may be skeptical and assume that it will make oily skins look like a greasy mess, but it is far from that. I have an oily forehead and I would go so far to say that controls oil production on my face. My initial concern was that a super glowy look would just highlight my minor imperfections such old acne scars and broken capillaries but it somehow tones them down and makes my skin look much better than it is. It comes out of the bottle as a white creamy color but becomes a pretty pearlescent sheen when blended out onto the skin. Did I mention that there are NO glitter particles in the primer? L'Oreal, I can't thank you enough.

HOW TO USE IT:

Option 1: Use it as a primer all over the face before applying foundation/bb cream/cc cream/tinted moisturizer on top. This is my favorite way of using it, it somehow shines through the foundation to create an illuminated, beautiful complexion. I use about 1 pump of product.

Option 2: Mix the primer together with your foundation of choice. This is a great option for those who don't want to give up the coverage of their favorite foundation but would like a fresh and dewy look. This method instantly amps up any foundation into a radiant, satin finish.

Option 3: Use as a liquid highlighter. This can be used straight-up as a liquid highlighter patted on the tops of the cheekbones, inner corner of the eye, bridge of the nose and cupids bow for a super glowy, non glittery highlighted look. Make sure to use this method after all face makeup is complete (foundation, concealer, powder, blush, bronzer, etc).

I don't know what kind of witchcraft L'Oreal has up their sleeves but they absolutely killed it on this one. I feel like I look more awake and healthy when armed with this pearly primer. The photoshopping powers of this primer really put the cherry on top and make it an absolute makeup staple of mine, making me feel more confident about my complexion and allowing me to use much less concealer on my imperfections (not to mention it photographs beautifully). I purchased mine at Target for around $13 (the best price I could find) and it was money well spent.

Have you tried the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer? I highly recommend it for pretty and radiant springtime beauty.
