Milani Baked Blush Review

So after reading Koni's review of this blush, it sparked my interest in getting this. I didn't know about the famous Luminoso. But after having a look on you tube I got to find out about these blushes. After having a conversation with Koni about this blush, I was really looking forward to trying it. Then she sent me this in a Random Act of Kindness Gift. What a lovely surprise.

The Blush that I got was Rose D'Oro. I didn't get to open it at first because my son beat me to it. The first thing he said was wow mum this is so pretty aye. This blush comes in a gold plastic circle shaped contained. On the front is a window so you can see the blush through it. It has the Milani labelling written across the front. Inside of it is a handy little mirror. Theres also a round brush in there. I thought these two extra touches were excellent. Especially the handy mirror.

Looking at this blush it has Rose Gold terracotta colouring to it. Within it is this marbel gold through it. It looks so pretty to look at. The texture of it is like a powder finish. It has no scent at all. The colour pay off of this is so good.

When I apply it really glides across my cheeks nicely. The colour of it is bright and shows up well on my skin. On my first try, I thought the brush it came with worked well with this blush. I noticed that it lasted me for a couple of hours and did start to fade out. I'm thinking of trying a setting spray as this may help make it last just a bit longer on my skin.

UPDATE: Tried a setting spray still didn't hold it longer, because of this I probably wouldn't get this again.

I thought overall this blush ticked all the boxes for me. The packaging might not be high quality but the product itself is really good. I'm interested in trying the Luminoso as it is one of the popular blushes out.

I bought Luminoso a year ago, back when I was still buying everything that was hyped up by YouTube. Initial impressions? I really wasn't a fan. I'm very pale and would use this blush on its own but felt like it just washed me out. I think this is because it is quite a light colour, whereas I need (want?) a big pop of colour.

I've now figured out how it works best on me, which is using it as a blush topper. If I'm using a pinkier/browner toned blush, I layer this over top for a warm peach effect which works well with my skin tone. It really just ties the look together and I use it daily as I feel like my look doesn't feel complete without it. I don't find the shimmer you see in the pan translates on to the skin, also the colour lasts all day, the longevity is awesome!

The powder looks gorgeous in the pan with the different tones of peach swirled together however the gold packaging is plastic and feels quite tacky, like it can break easily, but I've managed to travel a lot with it and still no breakage so I guess it can't be that bad!

This blush is so different to anything I have in my collection- its a true warm peach with a little shimmer. I would normally sway towards more pink tones but this is such a refreshing change and looks good with more orangey toned lips. It has the perfect amount of pigment IMO- not so much you hit clown zone, and not so little that you have to apply and reapply to get the colour payoff. It blends really beautifully into the cheekbones without looking powdery. I'm thinking this will look even better in summer when I have a little more colour and am rocking more of a bronze look. Am stoked to have this as part of my growing blush collection!

I first heard about these while watching youtube videos, seeing beauty guru's rave about the Milani baked blushes over and over again made me curious to try them..

First off, the price is incredible. Approx $7USD and around $15NZD makes these super affordable, cheaper than a Maybelline/Revlon etc blush at Farmers.

Packaging is nice for 'drugstore', I quite like the gold/matte gold contrast however it is bulky and the lid/top isn't flat so makes stacking and storing difficult! I also really like how the top is transparent so you can see the colour without having to flip it over or open it.

I first purchased Luminoso to try as this is the most 'hyped' colour in the line. It is an incredible shimmery coral shade that looks super natural on the cheeks. If you're not used to wearing coral blushes or not sure if you'll suit them - start with this one!

The formula is smooth and not super crazy pigmented which I like - its easy to build up a natural looking colour that blends out well rather than end up with a huge patch of colour on your cheeks. It looks almost glittery in the pan but on the cheeks it picks up as a nice healthy shimmery glow.

After success with Luminoso I picked up another shade, Rose D'Oro and loved it just as much. The colour is darker and more pink with no coral tones - but still just as beautiful.

The only reason I didn't give this product a full 5 stars is that personally I think the shade range is average. I would love to see some lighter pinks/peaches and even some matte shades would be nice.

If you're on the fence about purchasing these blushes I would say go for it!! The two I own have quickly jumped into my top 5 blushes (I own way too many!) and I will repurchase in a heartbeat if they ever run out.

I am not too sure how I feel about this blush.. I haven't used many blushes so it is hard to compare it with others. But this blush for me was VERY shimmery and glittery. I got the shade in luminoso. I didn't find it looks very natural because of the amount of shimmer which I found quite intense for a blush. Aside from the glitter, the colour looks natural and it is easy to wear for a subtle hint of colour. Does not apply too heavily and easily build-able.

Ok, can we just stop for a minute to appreciate such a beautiful product. I'm in love with the Milani baked blush. I always have to complete the look with this blush and I think I always will, I'm hooked! It just has such a beautiful shade, it's amazing to apply and leaves me looking naturally beautiful. Not to brag or any thing, Hehe. Ok it has shimmer ,but I find when matched with the right makeup, it can be Lovely. It also reflects the light, which I love.

Awesome, affordable little blush. The colour is a gorgeous peachy colour. Its long wearing too - lasts me all day. This is my go to day colour, it's not to overpowering and gives off just enough colour. I do find that I have to build the colour a bit to get my desired colour. That's another great thing about its blush, it is so easily buildable. So glad I purchased one of these blushes. I am definitely going to purchase some of the other colours, once I've hit pan on a few others. I little dust cloud is created when swirling the brush, but nothing too major. This blush has ticked all the boxes for my. I'm so glad I gave into the hype!

This was gifted to me & I was so excited to receive with the many eave reviews on it. Come in a gorgeous gold compact that has a clear lid it's domed & the product is too. The compact opens in half revealing a brush & mirror. The shade is a nice Morange tone that seems appealing to me & the shimmer is immediately noticed. This picks up easily onto the brush & fleek do come off onto the surrounding area you're doing your makeup. On applying I don't seem to notice any colour it could be my skin tone I'm nt sure because shoot me if you will but I haven't even swatched it. Bad right. It does however have a spectacular shimmer almost highlighter effect. So I use it on top of other blushes to emphasize the shades. I'm not finished with this yet & as we head into fall I'm sure it's going to have many uses for me.
