Milani Baked Blush Review

For a brand that I hadn't heard of until coming across it on Youtube, I didn't really know what to expect from this product, but it lives up to the hype, believe me! I have this in the shade 'Luminoso', probably the most popular shade, and I'd say it's my favourite go-to blush. When I first swatched it I was far from disappointed - It’s super pigmented so a little goes a long way! Next I was worried that it would be too much for my very light skin but was surprised to find that it suited just fine, creating a gorgeous highlighting glow. It makes my cheeks pop like crazy, but in a good way – if applied lightly it still looks beautiful and natural. I think this would suit various skin tones, it’s so warm and lovely. I’d really like to try this in the other stunning shades too!

everyone seems to have at least one of these blushes in their collection, and it seems like i am no exception. I brought this blush because i heard milani brushes were pretty much the best drug store blushes available, also it seems like luminoso is a favorite for many blogger, and makeup lovers out there so for around $7 usd, i had to pick this up (from bluescandal).

This baked blush comes in a circular compact with a gold edge, and a mostly transparant lid. The blush has two compartments, one holding the dome shape blush, and the other compartment holding a brush and mirror. The compact clicks into place and closes securley. Actually the packaging does not feel like a cheap brand, it feels quite sturdy. However, the second compartment does make a almost rattly noise when you move the blush around which does make it feel a bit cheap.

Anyway, the blush is a beautiful peachy colour, with a golden shimmery quality. I find it slightly powdery, but very pigmented. Once i apply this and blend it into my cheeks, the colour is lovely. It provides a peachy glow to my cheeks that makes my skin look really healthy and natural. The shimmery glitter adds a luminous glow, that i love since i go for the dewey, glowy look versus a matte look so fits in perfectly with my other makeup. This blush is long lasting, and even looks great layered with other blushes (such as Benefit's majorette) to create more intense looks. Plus the blush is long wearing.

I love this blush, and will be picking up more from the Milani Baked blush range, and reckon you should too

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.

After hearing so many people rave about these blushes I decided to try Luminoso and I really loved it! I also tried another pinky shade (I've forgotten the name though) And I love it too! These blushes double as a highlighter because of the sheen and shimmer in them, there isn't any obnoxious glitter in them so it doesn't look patchy or chucky. They're really great for the price, but like most amazing products, you can't buy them in store in nz so I get mine from beautyjoint.They have quite a few colours to match heaps of different skin tones, and they are decently pigmented so you're able to build up the colour if you want more of a flush. The packaging is quite bulky and it comes with a small brush and mirror that I don't use at all. They're a little powdering, which can be expected for a blush so cheap but that isn't really a problem for me.

I purchased this baked blush in luminoso due to hearing amazing things about it over YouTube and is actually the first baked blush I ever purchased..

The packaging from a distance looks expensive and sturdy with its gold edge and almost transparent lid that has 'milani' written on the top but when you look closer at the packaging you notice have cheap and flimsy it is and is prone to stratches.

When I first swatched this product I didn't really get what all the hype was about because of it being a very light apricot coral color and I felt that no way could I pull of this shade of blush. It is highly pigmented so you only need a little bit of product on your blush and build up the desired amount. I absolutely love this shade on my light skin as it gives me a nice glow, natural blush look and isn't to in your face.

I definitely want to collect more shades of this baked blush because for the price they are amazing and they all look beautiful.

I heard so many people rave about this so I finally decided to try it and I got the one in Luminoso. The packaging is pretty good, it's just a really nice metalic gold colour. I really love this blush, it is super pigmented so you only need a tiny amount and it is also super affordable. It does have specks of glitter so it gives your face a nice shimmery glow.

I absolutely love this blush. Let me start off by saying that I wasn't really into rouge that much before I bought this product.

Luminoso is a gorgeous soft peach baked blush with finely milled golden shimmer that gives my face a nice glow without being over the top. It comes in a circular golden plastic packaging (which I prefer to silver) with a transparent lid that opens and closes easily. It feels lightweight and kind of cheap, but it is pretty and functional.

Two of the main reasons I like these product so much is the silky smooth texture and the great pigmentation.

The pigmentation of it is just amazing! You don’t have to struggle at all as the color shows up with just one swipe. Texture wise, it feels buttery soft to the touch and blends like a dream. Besides, it’s pretty long lasting as well.

Luminoso has quickly become one of my favorite blushers and I will definitely be picking up some more from this range.

I had been wanting these for a while, I hadnt seen people use them but saw them A LOT in flat lays or beautiful photos for display, the gold round casings are so beautiful and when makeup.co.nz announced they were selling them I purchased 2 baked blush which are Dolce pink and Rose D'Oro.

They are smaller than the average sized blushes but they pack a punch! They lids secure strongly so you need a little bit of elbow grease to open these which is a great peace of mind if you pack these in your makeup bag. If you lift the middle piece it comes with a small brush and mirror which I haven't used.

Rose D'Oro is a medium bronzer warm shade, more like a bronzer mixed with a highlighter, I use this shade a lot, it brightens my cheeks and gives this beautiful glowy look and is perfect for my medium skin tone.

Dolce pink is a barbie pink with a touch of fuchsia, a sweep of this gives a flushed look to my cheeks and has been perfect for adding colour to my spring looks.

I have been using these a lot since I purchased these and I'm not sure as to why people don't talk about how great these are because they really are fantastic! Its only been recently I have seen Nikkie tutorials talk about Luminoso, every one needs to try these, especially for girls like me that would like to use blush.

I have this blush in luminoso. I bought it because a few makeup gurus were raving about it on YouTube and I tend to get sucked in with hype like That! I bought this off beauty joint quite a while ago now, there are a few nz online stores that now stock it too.

This line of blushes come in a little gold compact. It's shiny gold on top with a see through lid and a more matte gold on the bottom. I'm not the biggest fan of gold packaging as i kind of feel it looks cheapand this ddoesn't really change my mind. Just personal preference though, it isn't too big and does up securely which is the main thing. The palette always comes with a little brush (I never used it) under the blush.

Onto the blush. This color is a beautiful, domed peach beauty. It is enticing with its sparkle and just screams 'use me'. Now there is good and bad baked products. Some can be dry and have no color payoff. Luckily this is good. It's nice and smooth to touch and the color is pigmented and transfers well to your cheeks. Although this does have glitter in it, it's quite finely milled and you are not going to end up as a glitter bomb. This gives you a beautiful peach glow and leaves a gorgeous sheen to your cheeks.

The lasting power is good, I find this lasts pretty much all day on me. This blush will last so long too. I've used this so many times and the top part of the dome is only very slightly flattened.

I don't need anymore blush anytime soon but i would purchase again and to try out the other colors too. I would also recommend this, i think it would suit a variety of skin tones.

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!
