I got this today and I haven't tried it on yet,but it seems very pretty in the pan!It's a color I can wear (I'm quite pale and anything too bright,too dark,too intense etc looks funny on me!)
Well Done Milani!!!

This blush only cost about $3/4, but it is very smooth and pigmented. The only thing I don't really like is the packaging- it can be difficult to open. Other than that it is a cute color and for the price I can try all of the colors.

General Comments on this product: Many say this is comparable to Nars Orgasm. I can't say for sure, because I've never tried O. I like this, but it's a bit pinky on C40 me, so not quite a everyday blush. For something slightly peachier, try Flirt Heartthrob.

It's probably just me but I am less than impressed with the quality of Milani blushes. I find Luminous to be chalky and difficult to blend. Additionally, it does not have any staying power. The compact is incredibly cheap and prone to breakage.

I went and purchased this blush after reading this thread. So long as I use a very light hand in applying, it's beautiful. Thanks!

This is a pinky/peachy/golden color. Very pretty and pigmented for an awsome price! i bought this after all the raves on MUA, and i am so glad i did. Gives you a nice glow if you dont want to wear too much makeup. i usually use a skunk brush to apply.

Great blush- beautiful color, yet light. Peachy pink with gold shimmer in it. It does break easily if you drop it, but it still looks beautiful if brushed on.
Applied first on cheeks and then using a facial moisturizer, the effect is really beautiful. Looks like glowy sunkissed look.
GReat price and quality.

Buy again? Definitely.
I bought this blush on a whim because i liked the way it shined without having chunks of glitter, which immediately turns me off of a blush. I find that it lasts all day if I put a little bit of Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse blush in peach satin underneath it. It makes me look healthy and glow-y on days when I feel like death. Now I can't live without it.

I really liked this, by itself, or over another bluch (Dreame Mousse). For the price, it is a great blush.

I got this blush because I was interested in buying Nars Org but wanted to test it using a cheaper brand. The color is highly pigmented, a little goes a long way, it's a peachy pink, more peach on my neutral skin tone.

I bought this as a reccomendation from my friend... but it broke easily in my makeup bag just 2 days later... fortunately it was so cheap that I just bought another. It's great with my MSF.
Edit: After purchasing Nars Orgasm I wanted to add that although I do think color wise they are very similar the Nars application cannot be beat- it goes on like a dream.

This is a great blush and super cheap (only 2.99). It is very similar to Nars Orgasm, but Luminous actually shows up on me. This shimmery peach color blush is a must!

General Comments on this product: The color is very pretty. However, the staying power isn't too great, and it's rather fragile. Chunks started breaking off after I carried it around in my bag. I gave it to my mom, who wanted a more subtle blush (she has KILLER cheekbones, so she doesn't really need to do much to emphasize them). It's a good value, but not an outstanding product.

This is a great alternative to Orgasm. Luminous actually shows up better on my cheeks than Orgasm. You can';t beat the value, though the staying power leaves a bit to be desired.

I love this blush. I love ALL Milani blushes, because they're so beautiful, pigmented, and easy to depot and put into Japonesque palletes. I actually went out and bought them all when I heard they were discontinued :P
Luminous is a bit weird though, because I have TWO (one as backup) and one is definitely a pink with strong gold shimmer, and the other is a peachy-pink with light goldeness. The pinker one doesn't really look like Orgasm, but the lighter one does. I wonder if I got a mislabeled one? Hmm.
