Meet My Stash: Lumi Blush’s

Published on by LineEmUpMakeupLeave a comment

Today we are covering a couple of affordable blushes. Are they any good? Actually, they are very impressive. From the Shop Miss A website, I ordered two of their Lumi blushes in the shades Ravish and Rose Dawn.

I have to say that I was originally introduced to this brand/website from the YouTuber ShanShortcakeBeauty (check her out if you haven’t because she is amazing!!!). She loves the shade Ravish so I had to pick it up but I also love more of a pink toned blush so I picked up Rose Dawn.

After having tried out both blushes, this formula is extremely pigmented and long lasting. I expected to like Rose Dawn most as it is a pink with gold shimmer marbled throughout but I was wrong. Rose Dawn was a pretty blush shade but it did not look as natural and pretty as Ravish.

Now for the paragraph where I wax poetically about the shade you absolutely have to try. Just kidding! But I do highly recommend Ravish. If you are looking to try one shade, Ravish is the one I recommend picking up. These blushes are only a dollar each so if you see other shades that pique your interest, pick them up because the formula is great, but also throw in Ravish. You won’t regret it!

So in case you can’t tell, I am a big fan of these blushes. Eventually, I would love to have more blushes from this line but I am trying to not just collect the whole line. Be sure to check these blushes out!

Meet My Stash: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush

Published on by LineEmUpMakeupLeave a comment

Today, we are covering what is probably my favorite makeup product of all time. As many in this community have probably heard, the Hourglass powders are incredible. With a formula so finely milled it is nearly impossible for these powders to come across as anything but natural.

It helps that I am a fan of blush in general, so applying these two facts, it is easy to understand why I love this product. The pigmentation is perfect, not too bright.

The color that I have is Luminous Flush, which may come across as extremely intimidating. It’s a bright pink, but with a soft, luminous, beige powder marbled into the pan. I believe that this marbling helps to tone down the brightness and is what causes this blush to look so natural.

My favorite way to apply this blush is on the apples of the cheeks and then sweep is back towards the temple. Then I also apply a bit over the top of my nose to give a “sun-kissed” look. Most will apply a bronzer for this technique but as someone with a ton of redness to their skin who burns easily under the sun, a blush gives me a more natural “sun-kissed” look.
