Milani Baked Blush Review

Love this blush. Love the nice subtle colour, also love the shimmer it has! Great addition to your make up

I got one of these blushes as it's meant to be a nars orgasm dupe and the colour certainly looked similar. I'm happy with this blush, the colour is flattering, the finish is pretty and with a touch of glow from the shimmer. It's finely milled, smooth and pigmented. The formula is great and so is the price.

I was never a blush girl until recently, my god I was missing out!

I love this blush; it gives a subtle tint and also a sheen of highlight which is perfect for when you don't want to use multiple products. Berry Amore is my favourite shade. I apply using the Wet n Wild Contour Brush.

I have the shade Coralina and it is a beautiful light toned pink with tiny flecks of gold and white in it. In the pan it definitely looks a little darker than it appears on the cheeks. It's a baked product in pretty gold packaging which feels a little cheap, but hey, it's super affordable! It goes on very pigmented with a beautiful sheen in it - definitely something that matte lovers aren't going to like. It blends nicely and just leaves you looking naturally flushed. My only complaint with this product is that it's a little TOO pigmented, so I find it hard to get the right amount of products on my cheeks without having to blend it into oblivion. The lasting power is fine, but NO blushes last on me for some reason so I'm not sure if my opinion is valid on this aspect.

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 love this blush, it’s a natural looking blush and also has a bit of shimmer in it, so you could skip highlighter altogether! My only disappointment is that as. I’ve as the packaging looks the little clear part of mine has fallen out and so it’s annoying every time I use it to have to push that part back in the right way for it to close!
