I guarantee this will become your new summer staple blush, thanks to Armani Beauty; a brand synonymous with elegance and sophistication, which has once again stepped into the limelight with its latest innovation: the Luminous Silk Cheek Tint.
In the world of beauty, I feel like we are all on that quest for that perfect flush of colour on the cheeks and the liquid/cream blush category has grown hugely over the last few years I for one love how they have advanced. As I am getting older, I appreciate more and more just how flattering a cream or liquid blush is on the skin!

Armani Beauty is renowned for its commitment to creating products that not only enhance natural beauty but also embody luxury and refinement I have always been a huge fan of Armani Makeup, having worn a lot on my wedding day, but I have found myself recently falling back in love with them ever more over recent months due to their consistency in delivering incredible formulas and products and innovations that still excite!
Everything Armani does is simply perfection, and I fell in love with the Luminous Silk Powder Blush that they launched last year, hence purchased two shades of the Cheek Tints that I personally knew would be perfect for the Spring/Summer months and would also work well with the powder blushers that I own too.

Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint, €45 (shop here)
This is a skin-fusing liquid blush that creates a just-pinched healthy cheeks look. Its watercolour technology inspired by Armani lipsticks, combines intense colour with lightweight blendability. An optimal balance of colour pigments is blended into a water-in-oil emulsion to create a vibrant colour payoff in the thin film that seamlessly fuses with skin. This unique texture stretches into an ultra-thin film without moving makeup and builds infinitely from a natural to a more intense flush, lasting up to 12 hours.
Formulated with the brand's signature Luminous Silk Complex, this tint promises to impart a luminous and healthy-looking flush to the cheeks, reminiscent of a lit-from-within glow.

Bold Pink, looks quite cool to start off with, but once blended it does adapt to your own skin tone and is really warm to create this beautiful natural flush of pink.

Texture and Application:
One of the standout features of the Luminous Silk Cheek Tint is the texture. The gel/liquid formula is lightweight and blendable, the skincare infused formula effortlessly melts into the skin, with little effort needed and unlike other brands, the formula is not too intense, yet not too sheer. Whether you prefer a subtle hint of colour or a more buildable intensity, this cheek tint allows for customizable coverage ... which I love. I have intensified the look below so you can see the shade, but I personally like my blush to be visible.
The applicator is perfection, like other Armani products, it just makes using it straight off the wand so easy and effortless. The application is smooth and doesn't go patchy or streaky when blended over other makeup products. The shade range will complement a variety of skin tones as it can used not only as a blush but also as a subtle contour or even a soft lip stain.

Finish & Longevity
This is very long wearing and will stay put all day. The finish is really really flattering; not dewy or shiny but not quite matte. In fact, it's the perfect formula to use with a high-lighting fluid (like Armani Fluid Sheer) or a blush topper should you want to add some glow to it. It is that very classic Armani, natural, luminous skin finish. It definitely works like a tint and stays put for hours without fading or smudging and just keeps your cheeks looking radiant. (FYI, it isn't as staining as the recent Milk Jelly Tints!).

The perfect partner to the Cheek Tints; Luminous Silk Powder Blush. Both work in harmony together to give you a long-wearing cheek that you can customise completely. The Powder Blush is ultra-finely milled for a texture that glides on like silk, as the name suggests. The silk-infused pressed powder uses technology to visibly smooth the skin as it delivers a lit-from-within hue. The formula is enriched with spherical light-reflecting pigments that bounce light off the complexion for a soft-focus effect. They are buildable, blendable, and look stunning.
I have shades 50 Euphoric a peachy pink with a shimmery finish that looks stunning over the top of both Tints and 52 Ectasy, a cool baby pink which is great to intensify the pink.
