everyone seems to have at least one of these blushes in their collection, and it seems like i am no exception. I brought this blush because i heard milani brushes were pretty much the best drug store blushes available, also it seems like luminoso is a favorite for many blogger, and makeup lovers out there so for around $7 usd, i had to pick this up (from bluescandal).
This baked blush comes in a circular compact with a gold edge, and a mostly transparant lid. The blush has two compartments, one holding the dome shape blush, and the other compartment holding a brush and mirror. The compact clicks into place and closes securley. Actually the packaging does not feel like a cheap brand, it feels quite sturdy. However, the second compartment does make a almost rattly noise when you move the blush around which does make it feel a bit cheap.
Anyway, the blush is a beautiful peachy colour, with a golden shimmery quality. I find it slightly powdery, but very pigmented. Once i apply this and blend it into my cheeks, the colour is lovely. It provides a peachy glow to my cheeks that makes my skin look really healthy and natural. The shimmery glitter adds a luminous glow, that i love since i go for the dewey, glowy look versus a matte look so fits in perfectly with my other makeup. This blush is long lasting, and even looks great layered with other blushes (such as Benefit's majorette) to create more intense looks. Plus the blush is long wearing.
I love this blush, and will be picking up more from the Milani Baked blush range, and reckon you should too
For a brand that I hadn't heard of until coming across it on Youtube, I didn't really know what to expect from this product, but it lives up to the hype, believe me! I have this in the shade 'Luminoso', probably the most popular shade, and I'd say it's my favourite go-to blush. When I first swatched it I was far from disappointed - It’s super pigmented so a little goes a long way! Next I was worried that it would be too much for my very light skin but was surprised to find that it suited just fine, creating a gorgeous highlighting glow. It makes my cheeks pop like crazy, but in a good way – if applied lightly it still looks beautiful and natural. I think this would suit various skin tones, it’s so warm and lovely. I’d really like to try this in the other stunning shades too!
Tips: Apply it lightly at first and build the colour up for your desired effect.
