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.
