Cannes Film Festival 2024 is in full swing, which means the stars are taking to the red carpet in the French coastal town and giving us plenty of outfits and hair and make-up looks to pore over.

• L'Oréal Paris Paradise Lumi Glotion, £11.99 from LookFantastic

Eva is a L'Oréal Paris ambassador, and as such her make-up and skin prep was done using products from the brand – one of which was L'Oréal Paris Paradise Lumi Glotion in the shades 904 and 902. A sheer, skin-enhancing primer, Lumi Glotion was already a sell-out success in the US, before it launched in the UK earlier this year – and to similar success, with shoppers loving the natural glow it gives skin.

L'Oréal's Lumi Glotion comes in four shades and is available to buy from a number of retailers including LookFantastic, Superdrug, ASOS and Boots. It usually retails for £11.99 but Boots Advantage Card holders can currently snap it up for £8.99 when shopping in store or online.

"It gives a lovely glow making my skin look amazing," wrote another. "It’s hydrating and made my skin feel so soft and look fresh and bright."

Eva's glam make-up look included some other L'Oréal bestsellers, including Revitalift Filler 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum, currently half price at £15.99, True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum, £14.99, and the new Volume Million Lashes Panorama Mascara, £12.99, which is already proving to me a huge hit with beauty editors.

Lumi Glotion has drawn comparisons to a number of other glow-boosters than have also gone viral in recent years, including Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter and e.l.f. Halo Glow. In our expert option, it's edged slightly more towards a highlighter-type finish than these other two products, which as a bit more skin-toned.
