No-one who can deny that Martha Stewart looks utterly incredible. The 84-year-old brings look after look whatever the event or occasion, whether its her more candid social media posts or a glam red carpet affair.

I've written about Martha's skincare secrets time and time again, but I just unearthed a drugstore 'glotion' that Martha has sworn by in the past for giving her skin that unmatched radiant glow - and the best part is, it's under $15.

  • Martha Stewart loves a drugstore 'glotion'.
  • The 84-year-old has been known to apply the $15 L'Oreal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion on the star.
  • Martha's makeup artist Nicole Daisy Toy gets through "a tube every week"

Martha's makeup artist, Nicole Daisy Toy, revealed that she used the L'Oreal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion on her famous client. And it was the glotion to thank for Martha's glowing, illuminated skin on her Sports Illustrated cover.

“I use [Lumi Glotion] every day on her,” Nicole revealed. “I go through a tube every week. It's how she gets that dewy look like she just got a facial.”

Praised for its illuminating powers, the luminous tinted moisturizer not only gives a glow to the skin, but is infused with glycerin and shea butter for instant hydration and an even more radiant finish. As well as the face, it can be used on the body to give the same glow everywhere - great for occasions.

What's even better is that the tinted formula could replace your foundation, or at least act as a super-glowing primer under your favorite concealers. Think of it as giving the skin a healthy wash.

Martha said "there's no better way to glow", taking to TikTok to share with her viewers what her praised product was. 

There's five shades to choose from, from light to rich, and glitter is at a minimum - it gives a shine and shimmer to the skin without being covered in glitter.

L'Oreal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion - the reviews

Rated 4.6 out of five, this product has almost 5,000 five-star reviews - not bad for something that costs less than $15.

"I use this tinted moisturizer every single day and it’s become a staple in my routine. It evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy, blends effortlessly, and gives a natural, healthy glow. Perfect for everyday wear when I want my skin to look fresh but not overdone," one shopper wrote.

"Love this for my 40 year-old skin!" another wrote. "It adds just enough glow with a bit of a dewy look, but not so much that your skin looks oily or sweaty."

Overall, it's a product that seems to appeal to all ages and skin types and great for a flawless finish.
