One of my favorites from Milani

I love a great drugstore blush. This one from Milani doesn't disappoint. It blends so well and its great for an everyday blush. I use this blush throughout the work week. I often get compliments on this blush and I always highly recommend it to others.

LOVE MILANI PRODUCTS!!

Like many others, I caved into peer pressure and finally bought this product. People have raved online about how this is the closest dupe to the NARS blush. It's about $7-$8 a pop at drugstores. I really love blushes and have tried out many others before. Overall, this is a coral blush with a little bit of shimmer. It is pretty easy to apply, and the color control is easy(as in, one swipe wo...read moreuldn't make you look like a clown, and a couple more swipes will give you more color). I did not like the brush that came with the blush, so I do not use it. The brush breaks down the cake and makes the powder go everywhere. I would recommend a different, softer brush for application. It makes it much easier! (go cheap and use an elf brush. they're about $1 a pop at Target, $3 at most). This coral color really does look okay on any skin tone, but I personally think I look better with a pinker color. Additionally, this blush oxidizes on me, and turns redder/oranger as the day progresses. Not only that, if you buff the blush(rub it directly onto skin with the makeup brush to give blush friction so it warms up on your skin), you can see the color changing on your skin. I have fair skin with a cool skin tone. I found the blush does have pretty good staying power. For the record, I use this on top of primer, foundation, and powder. Additionally, I have used this product for weeks and I can see there is still a lot of product left. This should last a long time. 4/5 would recommend for a starter, since it is cheap, easy to use, accessible, and travel size. Would not buy Luminoso again since I look better in pink than coral. I will probably try another color from this line though. The blush is pretty good quality for its price!

great!

I bought this blush in the shade 'luminoso' at cvs. it's a great dupe for nars orgams, albeit slightly less intense. it looks super shimmery in the package, which contains a mirror and a small (useless) blush brush. on the skin, it's a very subtle pinky peach color. will definitely buy again! unfortunately, it shattered quite easily, and i had to repair it with rubbing alcohol.

Wow

I absolutely flipped finding this blush. I had heard Milani blushes were good. I didn't expect them to be better than any other blush I own pigment wise. I actually have to tone this blush back. I tried all their available colors and the dolce pink looks best on me. It does have some shimmer, so if you like that, great, if you want matte, this isn't for you. I wish they would come out with more shades in their matte line as they really don't have many color choices (two).

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 minera...read morel blush, with some foundation/powder, mascara, and lip balm/gloss and it looks amazing. Milani is awesome.

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.

makes me look old

I am only 23 and look like i am 18. But these colors are outdated and the shimmer makes me look old for some reason. Maybe the colors are just too dark. The packaging is sturdy but feels so cheap. The plastic and gold coating reminds me of dollar store packaging.

love love love

After seeing this on a makeup tutorial, I felt the need to try. It truly works with any makeup I use and stays on. Lots of different options for colors, and I choose the one with an extra bit of shimmer for that summer glow. I absolutely love it!

Milani Baked Blush is Excellent

This is highly pigmented gorgeous color. I know, I know women of color don't blush. Well if we did this is the color I would blush! It looks totally natural IF you use a light hand and buff it out. I have honey toned, carmel-like mid brown skin and it made me look luminous. I know it's discontinued, but it was highly recommended by a beauty blogger of dark tones, so I found it on Amazon. And for...read more $6.98 it can't be beat. Truly though I'd buy it if it was $30. I like it so much better than my current everyday blush which is Urban Decay Fetish. That one is way less pigmented and comes out lighter than the Milani Fantastico Mauve. What is nice is the pigmentation, plus the subtle look of it once applied. I believe this is one of the best blushes for the money, and probably the best powder blush I've tried.

Luminoso takeover

For about 3 or 4 months, every single youtuber i was watching was raving about the milani blushes and especially the shade "Luminoso" which was said to be a dupe for a NARS blush I wanted to see what the fuss was all about so I purchased it. Personally, I didn't find it to be a dupe. Yes, it's a beautiful blush and it gives my cheeks a wonderful healthy glow but I don't think it was worth all the hype
