This blush is a pretty peach color but a little too sparkly for my liking. I do like to layer it over Revlon cream blush in coral reef and that combo is gorgeous. I just don't really like it on its own.

Love the packaging, very high-endish. (lol is that a word?) Great as an everyday blush. I heard that it is a dupe for NARS orgasm.

I've been using this for about a year now and thought to give it a review. I layer it on top of NYX Orange cream blush. Gives me a nice healthy flush of color without sparkles/glitter. I like how it sets my cream blush too. I apply with a light hand and use a kabuki brush. It's bright and fun for summer and gives a nice pop to your cheeks.

Finally got my hands on this blush. Heard so many good reviews on it and sure enough tried it on and right away fell in love. The blush is very pigmented and lasted.

This blush is absolutely gorgeous! The peachy pinky color is perfect and suitable for many skin tones. It also has some shimmer in it.

I adore this blush. I am all about trying different shades/textures/finishes to compliment different looks, but truth be told, this is the blush I keep coming back to. I am NC 20-25, (mayyyyybe NC30 in the summer) and I adore this delicate shade, not too pink for my yellow/olive undertones, but not too bright for my fair/medium skin. The luminosity is perfect for day--not sparkly at all, but healthy and glowing. In the evening, I even add some highlighter.

This is a lovely blush. Just like a previous person mentioned it may look too dark (too intense) on someone with fair skin.
I am about NC 20 and on me it looks border line too orange (maybe too coral?) It's lovely, but I need to have a light hand when applying this otherwise it will look too obvious.
I am going to give this product another try when I begin self tanning since it will most likely look best on someone with a medium skin tone.

This product does not look natural on the skin at all. It doesn't have a lit within look, its just looks cakey since it sits on top of the skin. For fair skin I would not recommend this since it will look unnatural and clownish. It also drew attention to pores and made them look much bigger. This also contains Isopropyl Myristate which clogs pores and is bad news for acne prone skin. Overall, it does not give you a smooth look; rather streaky and unnatural looking.

This blush is so gorgeous! Really compliments most skin-types I'd say. A peachy-rosy shade with a delicate touch of shimmer. Reminds me of a certain MAC shade. The pigment is surprisingly good too - keep that in mind when you go to town on your cheeks with this, lol. I looked a little clowny because I was so excited to try this. Stippling blush brush would work great with this.

I feel like this brightens my NW20 complexion and I'd definitely repurchase. Hopefully I won't have to for a good long while.. it looks like there's tons a product. Baked blushes last foreverrr :)

I just bought this blush last night after reading so many positive reviews. I am very happy with it! I think it's a very universal color.. I'm more on the tan side & this blush gives me a healthy glow. It does have a little shimmer to it.
I've boughten a few of Milani's nail polishes & will definitely have to try more of their makeup products :)

This is my favorite blush of all time! I'm a sucker for peach blushes and this one just stole my heart. It gives that perfect peachy glow :)

I just purchased this blush based on reviews and the face that I can't justify paying for Nars Orgasm. I don't know how Nars would look on me, but Oh My Gosh! I love this blush - it's a natural peachy tone and I see shimmer in the package, but not on my face. It warms up my complexion and I'm very happy with this. I comes with a brush and mirror (underneath the product) which is a treat, but I prefer to not use that brush. Great product!

This product is THE perfect dupe for NARS Orgasm, and it's less than half the cost! It gives my cheekbones a sultry, dewy glow. I use it often with the Milani baked bronzer in Soleil, and it makes my skin look perfectly sunkissed. Great product!

I have never purchased nars orgasm but after reading the hype i thought i would try this dupe. i love the color, formula, and price. its gorgeous on my nc45 skin and i feel like im glowing from within when i wear it. i am a MAC girl and this is very comparable to the quality of MAC. it is almost 7pm and i put my makeup on at 830am-it still looks flawless and hasnt budged. my only complaint is packaging. because of the doom shape, its easy to break. i dropped the blush 2 hours after purchasing it and it broke :-(. luckily there are ways to fix that on pintrest!

I loveee this blush!! I never owned nars orgasm but i read its a dupe and saw swatches and from the swatches i just had to buy it and i am so glad i did. Ive had this blush for the past year now only because i only wear makeup when i have to but this blush adds such a pretty glow to my face :) It goes on so nice and you dont have to use a lot of product either i have so much still i wont have to repurchase for a long time but whenever i run out i def will. Milani has such great products and all there packaging is so pretty.

For skin color/type ref, I am a NW 20 (25 in the summer) and I have oily/combination skin.

FIRST. Let me clear this up. I have NARS Orgasm in my makeup stash and the color is not even the same compared to Milani's Luminoso. Orgasm is pinker while Luminoso is peachier. But they do both have finely milled gold specks in them. IT IS NOT A DUPE.

I actually love this blusher. It's looks natural on me. I've always been a pink blusher fan and trying out a new blusher color seemed a little risky. When I looked at this blusher at Target a couple of weeks ago, I was a little skeptical of it because I've had experiences in the past where corals/peaches would look a little...odd on me. But no! My NARS Orgasm is great but I reach out for Luminoso more often now. It is a great pick-me up. Very pigmented, so I would recommend putting on light layers one by one so you don't end up looking like a hot mess. Just tapping my brush in the blusher lightly seemed to be enough for me since I'm pretty pale during the winter time. Also, the blusher may work as a highlighter too because of the shimmer.

I think Luminoso would look great on pale-slightly tanned people. I look forward to using this in the summertime, as I think it would look wonderful since it has little specks of glitter in it. I will let you all know how I feel about it in the summer.

The packaging sucks, yes, but it's what the stuff in it matters. I will repurchase. You can't go wrong with a $7-$8 blusher. Get it!

Luminoso is one of my favorite blushes. I love peachy-pink blush shades, This one is more peachy which I like. I find the shimmer to be very subtle on the skin. It gives a nice glow to the face.

When I run out, I will repurchase this blush.

I'm not a fan of the fact that they include the little flimsy brush in the compact. I would rather it not be there, since I won't use it.

My go-to daily blush color. Doesn't make me break out. A nice peachy-pink with no purple or blue undertones. It has a little golden shimmer but not enough to make my face look more oily.
