Milani Luminoso Baked Powder Blush Review




I received this in my swap package from the lovely Make-Up is my medicine and haven't put it down since! Luminoso is a baked blush in a gorgeous yellowed peach shade, its super soft and highly pigmented which equates to winner if you ask me.



Luminoso like I said is a peach shade that leans on the yellow side rather than the pinker peaches we have been seeing of late. It has a light golden glisten to it thanks to the fine gold shimmer it contains, note how I said shimmer and not glitter. It has no chunky glitter in the mix so girls like me who don't have perfect pores need not fret as it doesn't highlight or settle into any pores.


The powder itself is super soft yet highly pigmented and it blends like a dream. As it is a fairly light shade I was a little worried that it may be chalky but I'm glad to report it is not chalky and nothing short of fabulous! It gives such a lovely summer glow with the perfect amount of colour that I honestly don't feel the need to highlight when wearing this, which has been everyday for the last week or so!

I have nothing like it in my make up collection shade wise anyways but it somehow reminds me of MAC Stereo Rose and Ripe Peach? I'd imagine if you like both of those products then you'd enjoy Milani Luminoso. U.K wise I don't know of any stockists other than www.CherryCulture.com but shipping may be pricey? I haven't used the site personally so I can't honestly comment.

  13. I have to admit when I saw you received this I knew you'd review it but was scared of the review. I LOVE blush, however I do have big pores and my "combination" skin seems more and more oily.. I'm glad this is so great. I may pick some up.

  18. I love these blushes! Luminoso is by far my favorite! Peach shades tend to suit my skin tone better than pinks!
