Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am placing this review under every Milani blush I have tried, as it doesn't seem as though these products are getting the love they deserve. Or at least few on Amazon are saying so! With the Milani blush, don't look at a color and say, "I can't wear that because of my coloring". YES YOU CAN. These blushes are amazing. EVERY SINGLE COLOR has worked with my coloring, whether it is pink, peach, purple, red...anyone can wear these. I think even darker skin tones could wear these even as highlighters if nothing else. This is for the color LUMINOSO. I am very pale, and this color was perfect on me. It is a flushed peach color with an understated gold tone; it is NOT shimmery. However with darker skin, it would probably work more as a highlighter. Don't let the gold veining turn you off, you don't see this on your face. I purposely overapplied this and made it look clownish, and THEN you could see a little flash, but with light handed everyday use it's not going to be obvious. I HATE glitter, and this is definitely not that. Some people compare this to NARS Orgasm. (However, Orgasm is the glitterbomb from h*ll on me, this one is not) This color is NOWHERE near a match for Orgasm, by the way. None of Milani's blushes are even close. Maybe if someone is vaguely color blind. If you put Orgasm on one cheek and Luminoso on the other, you would clearly see how alike they are NOT. Orgasm is pinker and has larger shimmer particles. Milani's shimmer is very, very fine and more peachy. Luminoso would be ok if you want to stay somewhat in the Orgasm FAMILY, but a dupe it's not. (Try Flirt's Heartthrob, it's closer) I love Nars blush, at $28 a pan that is a crack habit I can't support very often. I picked up these Milani blushes in every color. I dare you to compare this blush to any high end blush product....ANY. They have amazing long wear and great color payoff. *The brush included with it is worthless. Unless you *LIKE* your blush to look like stripes of war paint! I use the Real Techniques brushes and my Smashbox contour brush, depending on how much color and where I want it. *The packaging is kind of dicey and cheap. That is no indication however, of the quality of the product inside! *Don't drop it, whatever you do! It will shatter even from a short fall. But you can collect the broken contents, mix with enough 99% alcohol to make a paste, and re-press this into another container if you need to. Note though that the color will become one solid color mix and not the delicately veined color that it was before it smashed to bits. However it will still look the same on your face.
