L'Oreal ParisMagic Lumi Highlighting Concealer

Normally I use Lancome Effacernes concealer mixed with Armani highlighter for my every day makeup routine, but I was out of concealer and my color was out of stock so I bought this Magic Lumi to use in the meantime and was very impressed!It is like having highlighter and concealer in one moisturizing formula. The highlighter works beautifully under the eyes and anywhere you desire a youthful, dewey look, and the formula is light and easy to blend.On days when I am headed to the gym or want a natural, bare faced look, I can swipe it under my eyes and use a minimal amount as a highlighter for other areas, and it seamlessly blends with my natural skin tone without the use of foundation. I just set it with a light dusting of powder and it lasts for a long time (even looks good after a run or cardio class! ) and it does not feel heavy or greasy.This is a light coverage concealer, so it will not provide full coverage for dark circles, but I have layered it with my Effacernes concealer at times when I want a more glam look, and it blends well with my foundation and keeps a subtle glow.The only con is that it is a small pen, so there is not much product and I went through it rather quickly, but for the price it is well worth it!

Has such a beautiful shine I love this

I'm super pale, and I've used this as a concealer and a highlighter, so this might not apply to only highlighter users.Pros:Applies easily, very nice feel neither too thick or too thin.Buildable without cakingNot glittery or shimmeryNo skin irritation on my sensitive skinCons:Product has an applicator brush on the end. The product is in the tube. It is necessary to turn the tube (multiple clicks) to finally get the product to disperse. To me, that's a waste of space and a bit deceptive of the amount of product when looking at the packaging. It is also difficult to dispense the desired amount of product by the clicking system. It is uneven, and one click may dispense excess product, while another click may dispense nothing.Since the product is not glittery, shimmery or dewy, it will cake with overpowderingCons if you're pale and looking for a concealer:This is a nice color match for the extremely pale.It is excellent at covering freckles and minor blemishes.For pale people it won't work as a highlighter, because it will be skin tone.It is ok at covering the undereye area, and I would suggest it as a touch up only. It creases, even with light application of an undereye setting powder.

I have olive skin that doesn't really wrinkle even though I"m almost 50, but I've always dark circles under my eyes. The shade of my skin is light to medium, but I really intentionally wanted to get fair as I wanted this as a highlighter and something that would distract from my dark circles and lighten up my face. Few things really seem to cover the dark circles. This stuff however is the most amazing stuff I've ever tried for my under eye circles; it doesn't so much "cover" them as replaces them with light, but the end result is they are not visible. Rather than try to fill in the whole under-eye area, I dab this stuff on in the deepest hollow of the eye and tap it on with my finger. I don't rub it in but allow it to soak in, and if necessary remove any excess. I also use this amazing stuff right under my eyebrows and right on top of my cheeks where the top of the cheekbone is. It lights up my face and makes it look luminous. I think the trick to this product is that you don't use it as a concealer and don't apply it heavily. I have tried all sorts of expensive concealers but this light reflector looks better than anything I've ever tried. I also tried it on a friend who is much younger and does not have olive skin but rather caucasian pinkish skin. In her case, I put it under her eyes (she does have hollows even though in her 20s), and also under the brow and on top of the cheekbone. It gave her a boost of luminosity, and lit up her face.

I have never used or needed a "highlighter" and now that I'm in my 60's, I need one now. I'm a huge L'Oreal fan so decided to try their brand. I'm fair skinned so ordered Fair. It was so light I couldn't use it under my eyes to hide the shadows, it still showed through.( It was thinner than I thought it would be) However it was perfect to highlight under my eye brows (brow bone) and just used a daub on top my cheek bones. Worked beautifully. I only gave it 3 stars because it was of a thin consistency and it didn't do exactly as advertised...but that was for ME. Everyone's skin tone is different and has different needs. If you have purchased, used and love L'Oreal cosmetics, I'd give this a try. L'Oreal Paris Magic Lumi Highlighter Concealer, Fair, 0.05 Ounces

I have bought Maybelline light for years. Amazon out of this color. Suggested I get this. It’s also called “Lumi”. I made the mistake of buying 3 so to have ready on hand. This fair L’Oreal is an ugly white pink color, like a mask! Awful. Not a human color! Now I cannot return the 2 I didn’t open, that are shrink wrap sealed shut!!! Very expensive too! Over twice as much as Maybelline. Why? The name?? I didn’t know I couldn’t return. I was ordering so much from Amazon for Christmas, that I just threw it in!! Now $50 lost!!! Need to find a pink ghost to give it to! If sealed up, why no returns???? I’m bummed.

Very smooth. Great coverage. Applicator is a soft brush that works really well.

Love love
