You know how certain moments live “rent-free” in your head?
As a chronic overthinker and oversharer (the ultimate one-two punch), I’ve got a whole inventory of them. Some good, some bad, and some I’d rather send straight to The Memory Dump–can you tell I recently watched Inside Out 2?!.
One moment that recently completely altered my brain chemistry? Elle Fanning at this year’s Met Gala–my jaw practically dropped to the floor when I saw her take on “The Garden of Time” theme.
From her sculptural gown to her glassy, ethereal skin, Elle looked like the ice princess of my inner child’s dreams.
In case you need a refresher, here's the lewk I'm referring to:
I couldn’t help but wonder how her makeup artist managed that perfect balance of sparkle and radiance without veering into sweaty territory…
Turns out, I wasn’t the only one.
Melbourne beauty creator and ‘Pharmfluencer’ Hannah Collingwood English read all of our minds, revealing the exact product responsible for Elle’s coveted glow on her TikTok @hannahcollingwoodenglish.
Guess what? It’s finally landed at Adore. Finally, it’s time to spill the tea.
So, my friends, allow me to introduce you to the L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion—the secret to achieving that same top-to-toe glow we’ve all been swooning over.
What Is L'Oréal Paris Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancer?
If you, like me, are here for the return of Y2K body shimmer (oh, the nostalgia!), then buckle up.

Think of it as the glow-up of our early-2000s glitter obsession, but without the stickiness or the mess. Hooray!
This little multitasker does it all. Mix it with your foundation or moisturiser for a luminous boost, or wear it solo as a primer, tinted moisturiser, highlighter, contour, and even a top-to-toe body glow. Yep, it’s that versatile.
Simply apply to areas that naturally catch the light, like collarbones, shoulders and shins, for lit-from-within radiance.

- Versatile, luminous lotion for an all-over glow.
- Available in five shades: Fair, Light, Medium, Deep, and Rich.
- Delivers a subtle, barely-there shimmer while caring for your skin.
- Infused with glycerin and shea butter to keep your skin hydrated and nourished.

Our L'Oréal Paris Lumi Glotion Reviews.
Jas, Beauty Editor.
Shade: 902 Light.
As a former roll-on body glitter enthusiast (we all had our phases), the resurgence of shimmery skin gives me life. But let’s be real: those old-school formulas were sticky, cold, and not exactly bathroom-drain friendly.
Fast forward to today, and we’ve got the L'Oréal Lumi Glotion—thankfully, a far cry from those early-2000s disasters.
This lightweight lotion feels more like skincare than makeup, spreading smoothly across your skin and leaving behind a dewy, expensive-looking sheen.
I’ve been loving it as a base product, squeezing a pea-sized amount onto each cheek and my forehead before applying foundation. A little extra goes on my nose, cheekbones, cupid’s bow, and brow bones for that extra pop.
For a natural finish, I prefer using my fingers on my face, while a fluffy brush is perfect for dusting my chest with a bit of a fairy-like glow.
I’m patiently awaiting warmer days so I can slather this sparkly concoction all over me. Until then, I’ll settle for my face, shoulders and decolletage.
If you’re one of the lucky ones jetting off on a dreamy European summer—this baby is a must-pack. There’s no better match for delicious cocktails than skin that shimmers in the sun.
The only downside? The shade range could use a little love. But with its sheer formula, you might get away with mixing it with other products to find your perfect match.
Maddy, Retail Media Specialist.
Shade: 901 Fair.
"This Glotion has instantly become the unsung hero of my makeup kit.
Before foundation to add some glow, across the décolletage to add some highlight or even mixed in with my moisturiser if I'm feeling a bit dull (which before my morning coffee is often).
It's the perfect subtle but effective shade for my fair skin tone, and it seamlessly mixes with everything I use it with - even the most full coverage foundation I own."
Cass, Podcast Producer.
Shade: 903 Medium.
"If you had access to my search history, “glowy products” would be number one after desperately trying to find Sabrina Carpenter’s blush.
SO, when I saw the gorgeous Hannah Collingwood English referencing Elle Fanning’s deliciously glowy skin at the Met Gala, and realised I could get my hands on it, I knew I had to have it.
It’s subtle but gorgeously glowy, and it’s already been packed in my suitcase for my Italian Summer!"
Sadaf, Senior Beauty Editor.
Shade: 904 Deep.
"I chose the darkest shade in the range as I loved the deeper, coppery gold tinge and assumed this would work best with my olive skin tone.
I did try it on its own at first and it showed up a little muddy on my skin so I diffused it a little, popped my makeup on, then added as a highlighter onto my cheeks and voilà !
A beautiful, subtle glow on the skin that showed up more obvious in pictures (in a good way).
This is the perfect budget, everyday highlighter to take with you everywhere!”
