Milani Peach of Me Baked Blush Review & Swatches
Peach of Me
Milani Peach of Me Baked Blush ($7.99 for 0.12 oz.) is a vivid, medium coral with strong, warm orange undertones and flecks of gold and pink sparkle. The sparkles did not bind as much with the base powder, so some of those particles disappeared into my brush and only a few were visible on my skin.
It had medium, buildable pigmentation, which was in line with how the formula was marketed. The consistency was somewhat powdery, drier, and thinner, but it applied evenly to bare skin and diffused well along the edges without sheering out too readily. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$7.99/0.12 oz. - $66.58 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "buildable" that is available in a mix of "matte and shimmery shades." Most shades have medium to opaque coverage, can be built up usually (or sheered/blended out if desired), and have a soft, smooth texture that can run slightly powdery. The majority of shades I've tried apply evenly, blend out nicely, and last between seven and eight hours on me.

Very pretty, lighter alternative to one of my favorite blushes that I own and use fairly often during the warmer/hotter months: Nars Fetishised.
WOW, that is a bright one. Not in my color story but sounds nice. I don’t really care for glitter in my blushes. I like shimmer but glitter seems to not bind to the base and just goes everywhere. I this didn’t have much and likely would not even be seen but still not my cup of tea.
Milani always has nice blushes. I put them on par with Nars and Mac.
This is a gorgeous looking peachy blush and an excellent, more inexpensive alternative to some of the more expensive dupes on the dupe list. I think you would have to start off with a lighter hand though because it is so pigmented.
If I looked good in peach I’d grab this in a heartbeat. Really pretty. Milani hits home runs with blushes. When I’m tan my Milani Red Vino looks amazing. It’s discontinued now but a fine little find.
I think this is a re-release of one of their older baked blushes “Corallina.” One of my faves.
