I bought Luminoso a year ago, back when I was still buying everything that was hyped up by YouTube. Initial impressions? I really wasn't a fan. I'm very pale and would use this blush on its own but felt like it just washed me out. I think this is because it is quite a light colour, whereas I need (want?) a big pop of colour.
I've now figured out how it works best on me, which is using it as a blush topper. If I'm using a pinkier/browner toned blush, I layer this over top for a warm peach effect which works well with my skin tone. It really just ties the look together and I use it daily as I feel like my look doesn't feel complete without it. I don't find the shimmer you see in the pan translates on to the skin, also the colour lasts all day, the longevity is awesome!
The powder looks gorgeous in the pan with the different tones of peach swirled together however the gold packaging is plastic and feels quite tacky, like it can break easily, but I've managed to travel a lot with it and still no breakage so I guess it can't be that bad!
Can I start by saying how pretty this blush is. When Milani recently hit our shelves I was instantly drawn to this.
When you put it on your cheeks, these is gold flecks in it which look really pretty and it does subtly maintain than gold glitter when blended out.
On the cheeks it lasts reasonably well, especially when sitting on top of a set base.
The case it comes in is a nice gold colour and has a separate compartment with a brush. I like this much better than the brush being included in the same compartment as the blush like one of the other blushes I have. The brush supplied however, isn't as nice as the brushes I have, but works in a pinch when out and about.
I love this blush, it's my favourite at the moment.
