Milani Dolce Baked Bronzer Review & Swatches
Dolce
Milani Dolce Baked Bronzer ($8.99 for 0.25 oz.) is a light, golden brown with strong, warm yellow undertones and barely-there gold pearl and flecks of gold micro-sparkle over a more matte base. The texture was somewhat powdery, thin, and more prone to sheering out, which resulted in a product that was hard to over-do (which I know some will prefer).
It had semi-sheer coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage with two to three layers, and the powder was easy to apply and blend out; the latter was its biggest strength. It started to fade visibly after seven hours of wear on me.

Uh, I don’t think I would ever be into this bronzer even if it was dark enough for my medium olive self. There’s just something off-putting about glittery and/or shimmery bronzers for me personally.
I do like a glittery blush or bronzer but this on my NW 22 is just not cool enough. It’s pretty though.
Milani has some really beautiful colors in their baked line, including a blush that makes a beautiful “blonzer,” called Rosa D’oro. Their Silky Matte bronzers are beautiful, though! If you want an amazing slightly glowy bronzer, that isn’t too warm, I highly recommend the Revlon Skinlights Prismatic Bronzer.
