LORAC Panorama & Luma Color Source Buildable Blushes Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Panorama
LORAC Panorama Color Source Buildable Blush ($23.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a light-medium lavender with cooler undertones and a soft, luminous sheen. It had good pigmentation, which was easily buildable to opaque, true-to-pan coverage with a second layer. The powder felt soft, smooth, and silky and wasn’t powdery at all. It blended out beautifully on the skin and had a luminous finish that looked glowing but not shimmery. The blush wore nicely on my skin for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.

Luma
LORAC Luma Color Source Buildable Blush ($23.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a light peachy-pink with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The very light color made me nervous to apply to my skin tone, but it actually worked well, as it seemed to darken slightly and the shimmer prevented the lighter base color from looking chalky. I still think this is going to be easier for lighter complexions to wear, but it may work as a highlighting blush on medium complexions as well. The consistency was soft and smooth to the touch, but it was more powdery and thin compared to other shades I’ve tried in this formula, so it had a tendency to sheer out on the skin–great for blending, not so great for achieving true-to-pan color. On me, it wore well for eight hours.

Panarama is soooo pretty. I want it.
It is!
Thanks for the reviews! Just being a little nitpicky here, but I think the blush is called Luma, not Luna.
So sorry, I’m completely incompetent! I am fixing it now.
So luminous, I like it.
The are!
Your Panorama is pulls pinker than mine. Mine is closer to a strongly white-based lavender. They look very different. I haven’t worn mine yet so can’t comment as to wear but I’m worried mine is going to look chalky on application. Both look nice on you but I think I’m actually partial to Luna.
Hope you like yours!
Both look quite lovely, especially for those around an NC25 or lighter. I don’t believe these would work on us darker medium’s or more olive undertoned peeps, however. The only purple I’ve been completely confident wearing has been UD Bittersweet Afterglow Blush. Any lighter just looks weird on me!
I tend to agree that these will favor lighter complexions and am uncertain how well they will work on deeper skin tones!
Pleasantly surprised at how well this worked on your complexion. Pastel blushes can sometimes be too opaque and look a bit cheap and garish. Pretty sheen to this one.
I was, too, Wendy! I didn’t think they would look that great on me.
Dang, those are both nice. I love the finishes and the buildable/blendable aspect. Being fair, I really need that more than hella opaque shades that seem to take forever to blend out.
I think these would work well on fair skin!
While it is too light to work as a blush on me, I lovelovelove the look of Luma. I am pleasantly surprised that it doesn’t appear chalky at all when applied on you.
Me too — I expected both would look very white on me!
IDK, Panorama looks too chalky for me, and Luma looks too pale, don’t think it will show up well. Think I might need to swatch in store to see if they will work on me
Let me know if you end up getting one!
Like Panorama, but Over the Moon and Secret Admirer barely show on my skin. I really don’t think I’m that cool,but htg, emperor’s new blush….prob should try them over the Chris Chang CCB this spring. That’d probably pop them. Think I’ll pass.
If you have both of those, you can skip Panorama!
I really like both of them. Very pretty.
They are very spring-like!
I can’t find a way of buying panorama in the UK yet, do you know if it’s going to be available on nordstrom because neither ulta or even lorac ship internationally? It’s my favourite shade of blush and I need it so badly!
As far as I know, it is exclusive to Ulta!
