What it is:A radiance concentrate for the face, containing pure gold complexion-perfecting flecks.What it is formulated to do:L'Or Make-up Base is truly worth its weight in gold.

It also provides an even finish under makeup.

If you want a flawless canvas on which to apply your foundation, buy this. It feels luxurious. My only qualm is that it costs $70.

Quick Take: lightweight, great for mineral/powder foundation
I love this product, it does feel pretty wet so oily skin may not like this but for combo and especially dry skin this is awsome. My favorite way to use this is with my powder foundation, it gives the powder something to stick on to and smooths it out.

The best base
-03.09.13
I think this is one of the best bases I've ever tried. My makeup stays on all day even with sweat and exercise. Also the gold helped improve my skin texture and the base itself acts as a slight moisturizer. I highly recommend it.

Quick Take: lightweight, evens out skintone, fast-absorbing, luxurious
this gold base concentration is best used as a primer. it's too bad that i had to put foundation on top of it, because it made my skin look absolutely stunning. just for your information, i am more or less naturally tanned, so the "gold" really finished off nicely on my overall complexion. i purchased this wish sephoras favorites of summer 2012. i am not able to afford the full size product, however, it's probably one of my favorite products ever. i own the meteorites also by guerlain, but this product tops all others.

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, hydrating
I haven't used this is a while, and I was going through my things and found it.
I really liked this product, it added a luminous glow without being shimmery. It's also soothing and hydrating, as I have dry skin, and it worked very well at evening out my skintone. It doesn't do anything special really.
This works well, however I don't think that it's worth the money.

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing
This blasts any base I have used out of the ballpark. I was shocked how awesome it was. I have dry skin with fine lines and I bought this as a splurge and it was well worth it. It leaves a dewy glow (I like the 'glowy' look when it comes to the products that I use) and it absorbs quickly. I find that you want to apply foundation as fast as possible after putting this on and they 'melt' together to achieve the best results. I set with a light dusting of loose powder and my make up stays put all day. Love it!

Underwhelmed...
-12.05.12
Quick Take: lightweight
Let's be honest, I bought this because it looked gorgeous and though I didn't expect anything magical, I expected a decent primer. This is not it. I used this under the Guerlain Lingerie de Peau and honestly, it looked better without it. It's like the foundation was running away from my skin with this as a base (and I have dry/normal skin). My skin wasn't illuminated, it was wet. When it dried, it looked like nothing. It looked like nothing; it felt like nothing. I bought this for its beauty (and who doesn't love a primer); I returned it because not even that was worth the price.

L'Or Radiance Review
-11.24.12
Quick Take: consistently the best make-up base on the market.
This is the BEST make-up base. I have tried many others before using this product, and received many samples of alternative make-up bases, even purchased other make-up bases when I FORGOT my make-up bag one time, and also when my LUGGAGE/MAKE-UP POUCH WAS TEMPORARILY LOST... Don't waste your money of cheaper brands, new products, etc. etc. "You get what you pay for!!!" And, L'OR Radiance is the best one out there, not to mention it lasts for months and months. So, think about it!!! WE ARE WORTH IT!!

l'or radiance serum
-07.31.12
Bought this online afyer reading some of the reviews and I love it!! Didn't fully realize it was a foundation primer but I've used it by itself and it really does illuminize the skin! Yoi do have to apply it quickly because its very thin and the gold flakes don't always blend or dissolve quickly so you do have to make sure it's on there well or you will have gold sparkles on your face.

Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
I am using baremineral powder for foundation, so I thought it might not work as well as using liquid foundation. But I was WRONG. The foundation stayed all day long, and it made my face GLOW! Not oily, but a radiant feel.
I will definitely buy again! It smell very good too!
Very happy~~~

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing
I got a sample in a SF kit. I have to say it does make your skin have a glow. I have been using it for a couple weeks, and a little goes a long way. The price lead me to take a star off, but other than that if you are looking for a super luxe primer this is the one.

This product is so fun to use. I love that it makes my skin glow from within and keeps my make up set all day.
The product is very lightweight and absorbs quickly after application. It is kind of tricky in that way, because you feel that you need to apply more. But it isn't necessary. Your skin truly glows and it enhances a tan. I feel that it evens out my skintone as well.
The scent is perfumed and not fresh. This may bother some, but it doesn't bother myself.

I love this product. It is very light and makes my skin feel very soft and smooth. I like that is absorbs quickly and doesn't fell heavy like other primers tend to do.

Moisture lock primer!
-12.24.11
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing, locks in moisture, primes skin perfectly for foundation, nourishes skin
This primer is ideal for dry or mature skin. One pump locks in moisture and seals the skin before applying foundation. I like the Parure Extreme but I have also used this with Lingerie D'Peau. This primer is used sparingly and lasts a long time. My sensitive skin just loves it,
