Light (01)

L’Oreal Light (01) True Match Lumi Bronze It ($14.99 for 0.41 oz.) is a light-medium brown with subtle, warm undertones with a fine, golden sheen. The base pigmentation seemed desaturated and almost neutral-warm, while the addition of fine, golden pearl gave it a warmer look once applied and blended out. The texture was soft, drier to the touch with some powderiness in the pan, but it applied evenly and blended out nicely along the edges for a seamless application. The pigmentation was opaque, which was its only “downfall” as it was designed to be buildable–with a very light touch, you could build up the product (but this is true of most pigmented products!). It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

$14.99/0.41 oz. - $36.56 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "buildable" that gives "an instant sun-kissed glow" to the skin. There are three shades, and all three were very pigmented--they can be used with a lighter hand for more gradual pigmentation (true of most pigmented products). The consistency was on the softer side with slight powderiness that was mostly present in the pan, as the powders sat well on my skin once applied. The bronzers blended out easily on my skin and stayed on well for seven to eight hours on me.
