L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion, $14.99

We just can’t leave out this versatile highlighting lotion from L'Oréal Paris.The lightweight formula lumizies and hydrates your skin. We recommend using it under your makeup to create a glowy base or as highlighter on your cheekbones. Use it on clean, dry skin in the morning, but opt for an untinted moisturizer before bed.
