Now moving on - some of you would have already seen me snapping these new Luminous Blushes ($34.00 USD for 0.21 oz.) from BECCA and be mesmerised by their beauty. If you are a fan of their Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed, you will love these new blushes!
From Sephora:
"multi-dimensional, versatile blushes to create a subtle, shimmering flush. Specially designed to flatter all skintones, this collection is inspired by the fan favorite Shimmering Skin Perfector—just the right balance of color and light. Wear them alone for subtle blushed luminosity, or as a blush topper layered on top of your favorite matte blush for an added pop of radiance."
The blush formula is smooth, soft and easy to blend. It is very similar to the Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed, a little goes a long way. The colour payoff is amazing, they can be applied sheer or bold depending on what brush or technique you use. I like to use a light hand and a fluffy blush brush to slowly build up the opacity of the blush, just so I don't go overboard.
Each blush has a strong shimmery overcoat, which might scare some of you at first glance, but once the overcoat is removed, it reveals a more subtle luminous blush. It is packed with fine shimmers to give a glowing flush to the cheeks and it doesn't appear to be glittery or a shimmer-overkill. You can it see from the difference between the pans and the swatches. However, if you are looking for a matte blush, then these Luminous Blushes are not for you. I suggest you check out BECCA's Mineral Blush, it is also very smooth and pigmented - my favourite colour is Flowerchild.
The Luminous Blush comes in 6 different bright colours. While the colour range isn't huge, I think BECCA picked their colours really well and catered for all skin tones.
Camellia - soft rosy pink
Tigerlily - medium tangerine orange
Snapdragon - medium pink coral
Foxglove - deep rosy pink
Dahlia - rich plum wine
Blushed Copper - medium copper brown
In terms of wear, I didn't find them clinging onto my dry patches or emphasising my pores. The lasting power was pretty impressive. All the shades lasted around 8-9 hours on me before fading and some of the darker shades lasted even longer.
If you are looking to add a beautiful flush of colour and luminosity to the cheeks, this is perfect for you. It is now available in U.S. at BECCA, Sephora and ULTA. I am not sure when it will hit Sephora in Australia, but they are now available online at Beautylish (they offer free shipping to Australia on orders over $50 USD).
