Milani Baked Blush Review

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’ve been using the Milani Baked Blush range for the past 4 years and on my skintone my favourites are Luminoso and Rose D’Oro.

They are affordable and from a distance the packaging looks pretty darn cute but just note that it’s relatively cheap plastic which is prone to scratches – I can no longer see the name Milani on my lot but I really don’t care because the product makes up for it. The compact has two compartments/layers, bottom for the below-average brush (typical of these types of products in my opinion) and the top has the beautiful product.

The two main reasons I love these blushes is the silky smooth texture and the great pigmentation swirled with fine shimmer just enough so that it leaves a healthy glow on my skin.

On me, Luminoso is a beautiful apricot coral with flecks of gold shimmer whereas Rose D’Oro is a coral rose-gold with what I feel looks like larger flecks of shimmer but is not overpowering. I feel both blushes have the perfect amount of shimmer to give off a lovely glow with a somewhat highlighted look (more so Luminoso).

The blushes are quite powdery so you will notice a bit of the product kick up but I tend to forget about it when I see how lovely it applies on the cheeks. My main issue is the lasting power or lack of – I can get a maximum of 2-3 hours before it begins to fade which is annoying because you can easily apply lipstick anywhere you go but blush requires a bit more concentration so you don’t walk out looking like Krusty the clown.

Would I recommend these blushes? Absolutely because you can still make the blush last by using a cream base underneath :-)

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!

Ever since I bought this back in March of last year, I've never looked back. It's literally the only blush I ever use now. I currently have "Luminoso" which is said to be a dupe for NARS' Orgasm except Luminoso is much more peach. It's your every day flush of warm colour on your cheeks, which is easily buildable and lasts for a good amount of time.

The package opens up into two compartments. The first is, of course, the actual product. And the second is the compact mirror and brush. I don't use the default brush it comes with as I feel it doesn't apply as nicely, but I guess it would be good on the go if you happen to forget to bring a blush brush.

I feel that the blush isn't that pigmented, but I think that's a good thing because you can easily apply more whereas you'd have to wipe off excess on your face if it were hugely opaque.

Altogether I would recommend this product and for the price it's worth it. I've barely made a dent in it (it's been nearly a year), and is my go-to blush.

Can I start by saying how pretty this blush is. When Milani recently hit our shelves I was instantly drawn to this.

When you put it on your cheeks, these is gold flecks in it which look really pretty and it does subtly maintain than gold glitter when blended out.

On the cheeks it lasts reasonably well, especially when sitting on top of a set base.

The case it comes in is a nice gold colour and has a separate compartment with a brush. I like this much better than the brush being included in the same compartment as the blush like one of the other blushes I have. The brush supplied however, isn't as nice as the brushes I have, but works in a pinch when out and about.

I love this blush, it's my favourite at the moment.

Such a gorgeous colour and can be a cheaper alternative to NARS blushes. I wasn't a huge fan of using blushes regularly but this one has definitely changed my mind. It adds the perfect rosy, flush and is really light and glowy. It isn't as long lasting as some of the higher end brands but does stay decently. I love the hints of gold in it, the pigment is good, and is a great every day product.

Ive only tried the Luminoso shade after great YouTube reviews ... And it doesn't disappoint. It's got a beautiful sheen to it and the peachy colour is buildable. I would highly recommend

This comes in a really nice gold compact, with a little brush underneath the product if you get caught short. While I personally prefer using a proper brush, my daughter loves it.

As this is so pigmented, you need to start off with a small amount, blend, and build up so that you don't look like a clown. It also has a lovely golden shimmery finish which looks really beautiful.

I'll definitely be purchasing this again, but probably in a softer pink or peach. I have Dolce Pink and although it is lovely, I feel the colour is a little too warm for my skin tone.

I enjoyed this blush so much! It is so pigmented and it gives you that glowy skin! The blush is also long lasting aswell so it is worth your money. The packaging is also 10/10 because for it's price, the product looks luxurious! I would definitely repurchase this blush again!

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.
