Milani Baked Luminoso Blush - An Honest Review

I am proud to say I came across this product on my own while browsing CherryCulture.com. I was looking for a natural blush colour that would work on my pale skin tone and this one did the trick. Later I found out that this shade in particular is quite popular and one of their best sellers. Milani has a variety of gorgeous colours for the baked blushes but I find Luminoso to be the most versatile as I see it working on darker skin tones and still look natural.
Colour: 
I would describe this as a light peachy coral. It has lighter and darker particles in it as it can be seen in the picture as well as it has the "baked" properties and it shows different shades of peach.
Texture:
This one isn't as creamy as I would've hoped nor does it give a dewy finish as the Hard Candy Honeymoon blush. It feels very powdery and yes, I am aware that it is a baked powdery product but just as we expect a nice texture from eyeshadows we should also want the same effect from a blush.
Problems:
1.The pigmentation is quite strong especially on lighter skin tones so even after only one brush stroke it could look a bit on the orange side. It needs a lot of blending and fading so it can look natural.
2. The brush isn't helpful as it won't blend the product well enough. This kind of brush might've worked for a lighter shade where blending wouldn't have been as necessary. However, I do find that brushes that are included in palettes or powders are useless either way.

Should you buy it?
Yes, it's a good product, a nice shade and it is popular for a reason. Go for it!
Rating: 3.5/5
