After testing out the new L’Oréal True Match Lumi collection, what impressed me most of all was the fact that all of these products are very different and combined together (or not) they will help you achieve the ideal level of shimmer and glow you’re going for. My favorite product is the L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer. I love that it’s super versatile in the sense that you can wear it over or under makeup or just like you would use traditional highlighter. I’m excited to start using this product under my foundation to give my skin a natural looking glow. Applying it with a foundation brush like this one from It Cosmetics works well for me. I don’t use a beauty blender since it might soak up too much product. For the hefty price, you don’t want to waste a drop! I wish the price tag wasn’t so high, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for. This foundation certainly won’t appeal to everyone, especially those looking for more coverage from a foundation. No, Luminous Silk Foundation Full Coverage is not full coverage. It’s light to medium coverage that is buildable. I would say you could get medium coverage with 2-3 layers. How Long Does Luminous Silk Foundation Last?
