Milani Luminoso

This keeps being mentioned here and I know YT folks love it. Do I need this if I own NARS Orgasm? I mean aside from an "all the makeups!!" perspective.

Brightest Bulb says newp. And she doesn't even seem to like Luminoso (disagree with her on that!)

I will say that the whole reason I never contemplated Orgasm is because it had parabens.

But then I went out an bought luminoso and guess what it has? Yup. Parabens.

But I still looooove it.

Shaaaaaaaame.

I have both, and I honestly like Luminoso better. Orgasm is really sparkly on my face, which I can't see when I put it on in the bathroom but once I'm out in daylight/sunlight it's like glitter cheeks. I hardly ever wear it now that I purchased Luminoso. 

Luminoso gives a very healthy looking glow, without the glitter effect. It has more of a sheen to it, and makes me look like I have fabulous skin (which I don't LOL).

I say go for it!

Personally, I don't find it to be a dupe. It is a pretty color in and of itself though.

I prefer Luminoso. I just think it looks better on me.

I have the old Milani Luminous and loved it more than Nars Orgasm. I'm going to have to check out Luminoso to see how it compares.

Luminoso is fucking amazing. I don't have Nars Orgasm so I'm clearly no help but whatever, yo. Luminoso for life.

It's a great blush for a variety of looks but it's really good for just putting some perk and color on your face even when you're not doing a lot of look elsewhere.

I don't always wear a lot of makeup (more than I used to before MUT though lol). There are just days when I don't want to wear much at all. On those days, I usually don't wear blush because it looks like too much. Luminoso is perfect on those days. It warms my up my skin and gives it a brightness. The pics I've seen on Nars Orgasm suggest it wouldn't work that way and would be more glittery.

And brightestbulb can fucking suck it. For starters, that review doesn't take into consideration that not everyone has her pale skin so what might look oompa loompa on her face (can't even see the pics so IDK) might look less so on the rest of us. But I dislike that heifer a whole lot so consider this some BEC commentary.

I trust you to be on top this for me!

I went and swatched NARS Orgasm and found that I didn't really want that much sparkle and the color just wasn't quite right on me. So I stopped and picked up Luminoso based on suggestions by people here and found that the color was just different enough to be more flattering on me with less sparkle. In other words I don't find them to be dupes and am loving Luminoso so far.
