Whether you luxuriate in a lengthy beauty regimen or only have five minutes to spare, a good skin tint makes all the difference. It can accentuate your features, even out your complexion, blur imperfections, enhance your natural glow and is easy to apply. As the popularity of tints continues to surge, so do the options. You can find a variety of formulations, ingredients and finishes everywhere, from your local grocery store to high-end beauty boutiques. But through all the considerations, one glow-booster consistently tops best-seller lists—and it’s less than $20.
L’Oréal Paris’ iconic True Match Lumi Glotion is a staple among consumers, beauty influencers and celebrities including Eva Longoria, Bethenny Frankel, Alix Earle, Martha Stewart and Mikayla Nogueira. (It was the product behind Longoria’s bronze-goddess Oscars look and Stewart’s 2023 Sports Illustrated cover shoot glow.) One Lumi Glotion is sold every 14 seconds, has over 38 million views on TikTok, per the brand. It also has nearly 25,000 five-star reviews on Amazon alone.
It makes sense Lumi Glotion is such a juggernaut. The skin tint promotes a healthier, hydrated and brighter complexion thanks to glycerin, shea butter and light-reflecting pearls. It can be worn several different ways: alone for a natural, radiant look, underneath your foundation to give makeup an extra pop, as a highlighter to catch the light just right, as a contour to sculpt and define, and as an all-over body glow. Frankel shared she loves to combine a few shades together when she wants to look “a little rosy, a little bronzy and a little glowy” all at once.
Lumi Glotion is currently available in five tones: 901 Fair, 902 Light, 903 Medium, 904 Deep and the just-launched 905 Rich, a shade of golden and copper specially selected to complement deep skin undertones.
One customer said wearing makeup every day was “drying out” their skin, but Lumi Glotion feels “so good” on their face. The same customer revealed their 75-year-old mother tried it too and “loved the way it felt and looked on her skin.” Another reviewer like to mix Lumi Glotion with their moisturizer. “It feels like silk and looks natural on my skin,” they shared. Shoppers rave that the tinted lotion is “magical,” a “great primer,” “blends easily,” and gives skin a “healthy, vibrant glow.”
