Milani Baked Blush Reviews

Milani Makes a Magnificent Blush
I don't often purchase powder blushes, as I feel that the finish they leave is drying, aging, and unflattering for anyone past their twenties. I generally stay with creamy formulas and stains. There are exceptions--I love the powder blushes by Estee Lauder, Lancome, Tarte, and some other companies--but in general they don't appear as a sheer bloom of color and are often cakey as well, leaving a repugnant look of demarcation where the blush ends and your own skin begins. I did pass the Milani products in the drugstore, and the array of their baked powder blushes looked so heavenly, so very tantalizing on the gleaming shelves that I bought two immediately--"Rose D'Oro" and "Dolce Pink." "Rose D'Oro" is what the name suggests--a gold-infused deep salmon. There is shimmer, to be sure, but not so much that this blush can't be worn during the daylight hours. It is best to keep the included brush handy for touch-ups and use your own tools when applying at home. There is more pigment than you would except for a blush that sells for under $8.00--and it rivals even the priciest brand when it is on your skin! The rose gives me a warm flush, with not even the tiniest hint of an arid, stale look. You can amplify it for a more glamorous night time look, as coverage is buildable. And then there is "Dolce Pink." Indeed it is a sweet pink--it is a particularly beautiful, delicate rose. I was especially smitten by this color. It leaves a subtle radiance in any light, even harsh, unforgiving daylight, and remains ultra-flattering. Why spend a small fortune when there are products like this available? Excuse me, as I'm on my way out of the house to pick up a few more . . . — 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 8 of 8 people said helpful

MIlani Baked Blush
I finally found these at Walgreens. I wanted to try them based on all the positive reviews. I ended up getting four of them. The packaging is pretty sturdy. I threw out the brush it came with, but I always do that. The product itself is really nice, it looks much more glittery in the pan than on skin. It is shimmery on, but definately not over the top at all. Of the colors I got this is my least favorite, because it pulls really warm on me, it looks more pink in the pan. Great product overall, will buy more of these. When I first saw reviews on these online, I was immediately intrigued: not only are they shaped very similarly to my much beloved collection of MAC Mineralized Skinfinish blushes, but they are so much more affordable at $7.99 a piece! Everywhere I read reviews on these blushes, they are always saying something along the line “You need this!” or “Dupe for MAC MSFs”. I love this blush so much–the lightest sweep of your brush will pick up enough product to apply on your cheeks. One thing that definitely stood out was the plastic packaging. I’m not a fan, and I think the gold/yellow packaging looks so tacky! It’s not as sturdy as I hoped, and I really hated how it looks, and would never consider purchasing it if it wasn’t for the quality. All of the colors are packed with glitter, so this might not be a favourite for some. My favourite of the bunch have got to be Corallina and Rose D’Oro. They are the most gorgeous coral shade, with shimmery gold veins across. It’s not only pretty to look at, but looks amazing on my skin! It’s quite powdery, so it’s best not to sweep it back and forth, but rather pat the blush several times lightly. I added a swatch for MAC's Margin and Milani's Rose D'Oro they are almost exactly the same, I'd say they are almost interchangeable as far as color goes, if anything under direct light margin is a bit rosier, and rose d'oro a bit more peachy, on my skin tone at least, NC 25. Also, the Milani blush is much more pigmented, I had to swatch margin way more times to get it to show up. This is a really beautiful blush, like many others have said it's a rose color with goldish veining. On my skin it looks rather peachy/bronze looking, kind of reminiscent of MAC's Margin. The gold shimmer is not too much but really makes my face have a glow to it especially now in the winter. I bought this, corallina and red vino at the same time, I ended up giving way more love to corallina, until I left it in another makeup bag and used this instead. Its really pigmented and you can layer it, I find that I dont use a bronzer when I wear this, whereas I need one with corallina and red vino, this is a bronzy blush, at least on my skin tone. What i love about these baked blushes is the fact that they dont look powdery on the skin, as a retin-a user I really appreciate the pigmentation and the fact that they formulation doesnt cling to my flakies. I love the colors/bronzers and blush milani is coming out with. Great product. — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 14 of 14 people said helpful

Not quite up to the hype for me.
I have one of these. Maybe I should try another one. The one I have is rose di'oro I think. I find it to be pretty powdery. It's a decent blush, but something I would say is worth all the hype it gets. They are quite shinny so if you want a matte blush, these are NOT it. They are compared to Mac MSF's, but I have never tried them. I imagine they would be smoother and less powdery for the price (just my guess - no one every really says.) It wears well with a good foundation base - the kind with minimal transfer. They can look pretty patchy at the end of the day if you have a very wet makeup base. Maybe because of too much transfer (from phones, touching your face, what not) so a good base is important. The price is ok, but I have to order Milani products online as I live in a small town with Rite Aid and Walmart (where I won't shop) for options. I don't always know if it's worth it to pay shipping and what not for products online and then there is more hassle for returns. However, I think I would purchase more of these because they do give a nice glow. They do last all day with a good base. They are really pretty and I think baked products are fun. I do hate the packaging. Overall I would recommend these as they are reasonably priced, you get a decent amount of product, and they are pretty. — 11 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 3 people said helpful

Subtle & Fresh
I own Luminoso and purchased Berry Amore today. Luminoso is comparable to MAC's Margin & Nars Org. Buildable color with a nice dewey sheen. Doesn't fade or turn oily on my already oily complexion. Reminds me of MAC's MSF's without the price tag! — 1 year, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 8 people said helpful

Luminoso
I was really scared Luminoso would be bright orange on me, but I was dying to try a Milani Baked Blush, and that was the only color in my town, so I got it. It can actually be used very sheer and has just a touch of shimmer. i don't usually wear blush and will often opt for other types of make-up because most shades just aren't wearable with much else on. I have this on, over the Sweet Rose mineral blush, with some foundation/powder, mascara, and lip balm/gloss and it looks amazing. Milani is awesome. — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful

Berry Amore is Beautiful
I picked this little compact up on a whim, and I got a lot more than I bargained for. It is truly pigmented, but it doesn't look artificial, cakey, or heavy. I'm going to purchase more of these. These are a real bargain considering the quality and the price. — 1 month, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Glowing cheeks
I finally caved and bought a Milani baked blush in Corallina. I don't need another blush but there has been much hype about this line of blushes, so I waited for a sale at my local store. At last, the day came with 25% off any Milani product. Corallina went into my cart and on my face the next day, and mostly every day since. It gives my face a pretty flush of color with just a bit of shimmer. This color is versatile, buildable, and has very good pigmentation with good staying power. This has become a favorite. — 2 weeks, 3 days agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

FAVORITE
This is seriously my favorite blush ever. At first I was skeptical because I had never heard of this brand before but I thought why not? After I picked out one which is a glittery peach(also picked out a bronzer for it) and I fell in love! The color does not come out nearly as intense or glittery as it looks which I am thankful for considering I am very much pale .But it blends incredibly well into my skin and feels great all day. I recommend this brand of blush to everyone, especially since they have tons of shades and it is pretty affordable. I know I will definitely be buying more in the future!!! — 3 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Target find worth gold, love it
The Luminoso is very close to NARS Org*** and I love this blush! The price is under $10 and the quality is great. I can see why its almost at a 10! The product doesn't flake and it very pigmented. I've recommended this to a friend and she loves it. I use it pretty much everyday. — 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 10 people said helpful
