Visible Lift Luminous Serum Tint Tinted Moisturizer

L’Oreal describes this product as a hydrating sheer tinted serum that gives your skin a beautiful boost of hydration, a touch of radiant color and smoothing of lines. The serum can be applied all over, under or over makeup, and comes in 5 shades. I have olive toned skin and tried the color shade Honey, it was perfect! I also have combination skin and this product did not leave any extra patchy areas nor did it make my skin feel overly oily. I used it alone, over my sunscreen, without makeup. The serum, although more like a cream, is dispensed through a small hole so you have a lot of control over how much you are about use. It is also dense in color, so I wondered if it was going to look like I had applied foundation. It went on very smoothly, is very lightweight and definitely sheer, AND it leaves no foundation-like mask behind. Once applied, it does leave your face with a dewy glow, not glittery, but it doesn’t last very long. It’s been about 2 weeks of everyday use, and I have yet to see smoothing of lines. I would also not suggest using this as a primer or standalone moisturizer. However, I do suggest having this as a backup go-to product for a quick glow when pressed for time, but don’t want to leave the house looking haggard. Did I mention the scent? I was quite pleased with it, although it lingers for a bit, is not overwhelming. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I am pretty fair skin with a hint of a warmer undertone; think light olive. I was nervous when I received the color "honey", but to my surprise it adds a nice hint of healthy color to my face. There is no dreaded "foundation" line. The consistency of the product is like a light mousse with a hint of shimmer tucked away in it. The product blends smoothly over my lightly textured skin. I do not recommend this to anyone who wants fuller coverage. I would say this is a perfect product for a "no makeup" look, or if you are really not up to putting on a full face of makeup. The product has a slight fragrance to it that is fresh and not overpowering. If your skin is aggravated by any fragrance, this may not be the product you are looking for. I would say this is best for individuals with normal or combination skin. This is not for individuals who have cystic acne or any other skin conditions that may be aggravated as this does contain dimethicone (a known pore clogger). Overall, for me I have normal to combination skin so it works well. It holds up well in the humid climate I live in too so that's a plus. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Okay so honestly I was a little skeptical about trying this L'Oreal Paris Visable Lift Serum. I am a black woman and I haven't found many skin products from them that have impressed me. And then add to that a rose tint, on a black woman? Yes, skeptical. But the rose tint seemed to give even my cocoa colored skin a slight glow. It feels good and light and even had a mild pleasant scent. So during the initial application I liked it. But minutes later I felt tight and dry. I don't usually have real issues with dry facial skin. So I've tried it a few more times and I have to say it's a no for me. I love the glow but the feeling throws me. Now I must say that while my face felt dry it felt smooth to the touch. So my man would enjoy it on the outside but I didn't like the way it felt. In the end I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I personally hate that feeling. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

When I first looked at the tube of L'Oréal Paris Visible Lift Luminous Serum Tint Tinted Moisturizer in Amber, I immediately knew that the color would be WAY too dark for me and therefore I rashly decided that I did not like this product, and I hadn't even tried it yet. But I pressed on and decided to try it because I knew if I didn't like it, all I had to do was wash my face. After trying the L'Oréal Paris Visible Lift Luminous Serum Tint Tinted Moisturizer in Amber, my quick judgment about it was a tiny bit right and a lot wrong! First, I was right about the color being too dark for my fair/light skin. Although the serum (in the shade of Amber) was dark, it wasn't AS dark as the color of the tube indicated. I was surprised that it had a sheer wash of tan color and my natural skin did show through. The color is much more sheer than foundation or even a regular tinted moisturizer. I could probably get away with wearing this shade at the end of summer. Maybe. But even though the shade did not match my skin, it didn't mean that I didn't LOVE this serum! it contains little light reflecting particles that made my skin glow and look illuminated. If it had been the right shade, I know this would have looked beautiful under my foundation, or just on my bare skin. The serum also made any of my skin imperfections such as fine lines and a few uneven spots looked blurred and smoother. How did this feel under my makeup? Divine! It made my foundation go on smoothly and almost felt like a primer. I wouldn't use a primer on top of this though, because I am afraid it would feel too thick. I would use this product instead of a primer. Along with the serum tint and foundation, my skin looked dewy and healthy. My skin also felt moisturized, without a slick, oily feel. (I have dry to combination skin). Best of all, I can tell the tube of serum tint will last a long time. You only need to use a little because it spreads well and a little goes a long way. I will DEFINITELY be looking for L'Oréal Paris Visible Lift Luminous Serum Tint Tinted Moisturizer in the store, just in a different shade more suited to my skin tone. I cannot wait to try it in the right shade for my skin! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

So happy I gave this a try!! I got the shade "Amber." When I first swatched it, I thought it would be too dark , but much to my surprise, it is perfect! I have light to medium (more medium) so this shade is exactly what I needed! I am also combination skin type with most of my face oily, but this adds just the right amount of moisture with vitamins and nourishing oils! Best part is it can be worn alone or under makeup. I need a bit more coverage, so I wear it under my foundation. It gives my skin a radiant, glowy look without being too heavy. All the while, it's working to smooth those irritating fine lines that are beginning to show, and creating a more even skin tone in all the right places!! It is so light weight that it doesn't leave my foundation looking cakey. Another fantastic product! Thanks L'Oreal!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
