L'Oreal Lumi Magique Highlighting Concealer

I find this item isnt really a concealer as it doesnt cover much for me but is good for the under eye area, as it does hightlight. I find the formula a little thin for what im use to but I love the aplication process, the amount you get in the pen is pretty minimal so the do loose points with me there. Ive tried similar products that I personally think work better then is, but its still an average product. I paid $10 new on facebook, so was a good price for what I got.

I bought this from K mart a while ago as I had never tried an under eye highlighting concealer. I really didn't like this that much as it wasn't that easy to blend and the colour was a bit off. There wasn't that much product in the tube so it didn't last me that long. I liked the applicator because I got the perfect amount every time and never wasted any. In my opinion, it really wasn't worth the money

When I think of luxury makeup products Chanel eyeshadows, Dior mascaras and Tom Ford lipsticks come to mind. The packaging always screams luxury even if the product within doesn't live up to it's dollar value. The Loreal Lumi Magique highlighting concealer packaging would fit right in with the likes of Clarins and YSL concealers, but with a much better price tag. I am guilty of judging (and purchasing!) beauty products by their packaging and this sleek gold tube had me clicking 'add to cart' pretty swiftly.

The packaging is also functional. When using a concealer in a tube I often dispense too much product, and the rest ends up on a tissue. The Loreal Lumi concealer is controlled by a twist that dispenses product through the brush. If there is product leftover it can be left on the brush with the lid on and saved for next time.

The product itself performs pretty well, particularly for the price. It gives a natural looking highlight, blends well, doesn't crease and lasts all day. However it would be better described as a highlighter than a concealer, as it lighten under eye darkness but doesn't conceal it. This is okay for myself on an everyday basis thanks to my 9.30pm sharp bedtime but exam time or a missed eye cream application would call for something more heavy duty. I will continue to use this product however I am on the hunt for a more effective concealer to use under my eyes.

I use Lumi Magique to highlight but not as a concealer as it doesn't conceal much.

Pros: Easy to use pen tip. Great for highlighting. Leaving you radiant and glowing where it is applied. Gorgeous packaging; rose gold and glamorous.

Cons: Hard to blend out. When I apply it above and in between my eyebrows you can see the lines that I've put the product even when I've blended it out.

For the price, you don't get much product as you do have to use a bit of product to get the effect of looking highlighted.

I bought this mainly for under my eyes to try and disguise dark circles. Unfortunately I did not find that it provided much coverage. I ended up using it as more of a highlighter on my cheekbones, under my eyebrows etc. would not buy it again but it might work if you don't have dark circles and are just looking to brighten up around the eye area.

This is a really nice product, like most L'oreal products it is of high quality and has stylish packaging.

The gold packaging is sleek and looks glamourous. The pen-like tip makes it so easy to apply the highlighter /concealer.

It helps cover dark circles really well under my eyes, from sleepless nights getting up with my daughter. It really helps to make me look refreshed and also works as a highlighter.

Considering my pharmacy just across the road from me sells Loreal I'm getting a big collection of their products - it's just too tempting!

A great product that I will continue to repurchase.
