Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Liquid Blush – New Shades

    Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Liquid Blush - new shades

    Armani added three new shades of liquid blush to the Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Liquid Blush lineup ($40 each, Sephora). To date this formula is hands down my favorite formula for lasting power in the natural finish. It is one of the few that stays put well on my skin without needing a powder blush on top.

    There are two finishes in this formula: natural and shine, I prefer the natural one. It’s matte but doesn’t look flat on the skin. (More details, review + swatches here.) The new shades are all in the natural finish. The finish is very natural looking once blended but you can easily layer for more color without it looking cakey or too heavy.

    Below, each shade is applied on the cheeks to show how it looks in different tones. For this look, I’m wearing the Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 6.5 by Giorgio Armani Beauty, which gives a smooth and radiant base. To set the makeup, I used the Ultra Blur Loose Powder Tone-Up in Rose from Laura Mercier, adding a soft, blurred finish.

    For the brows, I filled them in using the Baby Blade Brow Pencil in Medium Brown by Victoria Beckham Beauty, creating a natural, defined look. On the eyes, I applied the Dimensions Eyeshadow Palette 08 Pansy from Prada Beauty for a subtle yet elegant effect, and lined the eyes with the Satin Kajal in Cocoa from Victoria Beckham Beauty.

    To complete the look, I used the Candy Glaze Lipstick in Shade 15 by YSL Beauty, which adds a glossy, hydrated finish to the lips.

    12 Rosy Nude is a pale beige nude and on my Luminous Silk Foundation 6.5 skintone, it’s truly a barely there color. Pigment is pretty good but since it matches my skin so closely you can’t really tell there is anything on my skin. I wish they made this in a few more slightly deeper shades as I love a good neutral blush.

    63 Rosewood Pink is a neutral rose pink. Swatches show it’s pretty close to 62 Delicate Mauve. The new Rosewood Pink is warmer and I prefer this one because of that.

    13 Brick Brown was a pleasant surprise as brown tones can be a bit tricky for me to pull off. Many are either too warm or too cool. This one is just right.

    For brushes I really like the Hourglass No 15 Blush Brush or Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush to apply these. New shades also in action here so you can see how they blend on the skin with each brush.

    Adding a few swatch comparisons below to the Saie Dew Blush, Dior Forever Blush Soft Filter (review here) and Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks in Mimi.

    Three new shades available now at Sephora. In case you’re curious about other liquid blush formulas, I did a roundup here with lots of swatches. Let me know if you have any favorite formulas! Or if you prefer a cream or powder.




        

          LIPS
  •                               Merit Signature Lip Blush                      
I’ve recently been trying more products from Merit Beauty, and their latest lip launch is truly impressive. They’ve introduced a lightweight matte lipstick called the Signature Lip Blush ($28, available at Sephora and Merit). It’s a sheer, minimalist lip product that gives a soft, blurred matte finish. The formula feels incredibly light on the lips while still offering a smooth, slightly balmy texture.

I tried two shades in PR: Andie, which is the prettiest baby pink, and Vendome, which is a beautiful beige tan. I love both colors and think they’re perfect for everyday wear. I also still really like Archival, a pretty mauve that is cool-toned but not so cool-toned that it looks blue. I paired each lip look with the Merit Flush Balm Cream in Le BonBon.

Also wearing:

  • Foundation: It Cosmetics Do It All Sheer Tint Face Balm (Medium Neutral 305)

  • Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder

  • Blush: Merit Flush Balm Cream in Le BonBon

  • Eyeshadow: Prada Eyeshadow Palette (08)

  • Eyeliner: Sarah Creal Eyes Up Eyeliner (Jet Black)

  • Mascara: Maybelline Lash Sensational (Blackest Black)

  • Tank: Reformation (old)

  • Nail Polish: OPI Stunn N Done
