Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Blush

Where I got it

After seeing rave reviews of this from a Hong Kong based makeup influencer, I decided I need to try it. We do not have an Armani counter or shop in New Zealand, so I had to get this online. I got this during the AfterPay day sale on Sephora.nz for $68.80 after 20% off (RRP $86). This is also available at Sephora.nz, but at $100 which is freaking expensive!

What I got

This is the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Blush in shade 10 (4.1g). This innovative blush combines the brand’s expertise in colour and texture to deliver a flawless finish. The silky smooth texture effortlessly blends into the skin, leaving a natural-looking flush that enhances your features. The carefully curated shades provide a harmonious balance of warmth and luminosity, allowing you to achieve a stunning glow that complements any make-up look. Whether you’re aiming for a subtle flush or a more pronounced pop of colour, Luminous Silk Glow Blush effortlessly elevates your makeup look, leaving you with a radiant and youthful glow.

How I find it

When I got this blush, I wasn’t extremely excited because the packaging wasn’t extremely pleasing, it’s a little boring. The shade also looked a little boring. However, this shade is known to be a great shade to plump up the cheeks area without looking bold. It should be great for skin tone between fair to light to light medium.

The blush has the Armani logo embossed at the top. The blush is matte with a hint of radiance. It’s not shimmery or sparkly, but it has a satin look to it. I use a fluffy blush brush (I like to use the Chanel Blush Brush N110) to lightly tap it over the blush and it picks up a good amount of product.

This blush is pigmented but this beige-nude shade looks very natural on my cheeks for the slightly flushed look. Airy soft and light, it is a young-looking shade of blush.

It applies over makeup without moving things around and it was smooth to blend out. It also has amazing staying power! It is so long-wearing over my bare skin, over primer, over foundation! If I do not wipe anything off from my face or reapply SPF, this blush stays on for at least 8 hours!

Overall

I love this simple, natural looking blush I even took it to travel to Asia with me. This shade looks better on my cheeks when my skin tone is a little lighter to achieve that red-cheeks-from-the-cold look. I have to say the longevity of this formula is amazing as well! I have tried other Armani makeup products and they do not disappoint! I was not expecting this simple-looking blush to perform so well. I’m sure you can find a similar shade out there somewhere (especially from K-beauty), but this blush lasts so long and manages to still look so pretty! I want to try more colours, but I do need to swatch in real life.
