Baked Blush

By Hannah 1 year ago.

Not sure if I got a bad one but it was a bit too orange toned for me. I also found it really temperamental. Sometimes it would apply well, others it looked patchy.

This is a warm peach shade which still manages to be subtle and not look orange on your cheeks. It's beautiful on a neutral or warm fair/light/light-plus skin tone. It's a cult classic for a reason. The finish is softly glowy/dewy while not having any obvious shimmer particles. The texture is not dusty/powdery. It's smooth and buildable. This blush creates a tone on your cheeks which looks like a natural warm flush. I am a warm-toned fair redhead and this blush looks great on me.

I love this blush more than anything. It's perfect for a fair redhead like me. I woudn't call it "very warm toned". It's more of a peachy pink rose tone that's natural-looking for anyone with fair/light warm to neutral skin. It applies buildably and doesn't have any obvious shimmer particles; there's a very fine and subtle luminosity to it that creates a slight dewiness. I also would not call the texture powdery. It's smooth. This blush will give you classic "rosy cheeks". I use Luminoso when I want a warmer look, and Petal Primavera when I want a more neutral hue.

I bought this because it's oft discussed as a dupe for NARS Orgasm, and because I like my Milani Bella Bellini blush a lot. This is a great true peach blush with gold shimmer, great pigmentation, very soft formula. That said, it's not really that similar to the famed NARS shade (I heard that a discontinued Milani blush called "Luminous", not Luminoso, might be the dupe people are thinking of), and I like the pink-peach of Bella Bellini a bit better.

This blush is a beautiful warm peachy pink with just the right amount of shimmer (in my opinion--it is rather a lot of shimmer to some). It's very pigmented, so a light brush goes a long way and this product will last and give you a lot of use in relation to a fairly low price. It's very soft, though because of this, it "kicks off" quite a bit of powder--be aware of surrounding surfaces when applying. The gold packaging's pretty, if not the most streamlined.

This was one of my first ever makeup purchases, and I have to say, it absolutely deserves all the hype it's gotten and continues to get. This is such a phenomenal product! I got it in four colors (including the cult favorite, Luminoso), but Bella Bellini has to be my favorite. The color is so lovely, a pinky-peachy shade with a soft golden sheen and a teensy spattering of golden shimmer that, despite of the dreaded "glitter chunks on my face" tragedy that befalls so many products like it, does not have any powdery fall-out whatsoever. The blush is soft and smooth, almost like butter, and it blends on to the cheeks beautifully with a gentle, youthful sparkle and a natural glow that lasts quite a good while on my non-primed skin. However, for how great the actual product itself is, the compact it's contained in, while pretty with its gold coloring, is quite awful. It's a bit large and bulky, with a mirror that's attached to the back of the blush that you have to flip, which, if you're not careful, can ram the tip of the blush dome into the lid (which could possibly crack the blush, though I haven't had that happen yet and I'm trying to keep it that way). The tiny brush that comes in the space under the mirror, which is actually okay at picking up powder, is not that good at dispensing product evenly, so quick-travel is a bit iffy unless you don't mind carrying a blush brush or kabuki brush with you in your purse (which I personally don't). But, all in all, it's a gorgeous blush, with many well-deserved songs of praise, and I am gladly hopping on the bandwagon of lovers. For the amazing quality and equally amazing price point, I will graciously handle bulky packaging, and I'll definitely purchase another when I run out of it. :)

Though I have a real love for loose powder blushes, this baked blush in Dolce Pink has been my go to the entire spring /summer this year. I bought it on a win after a friend s racing how good it would look on my fair skin, and when I got it... I instantly fell in love! Unlike other baked Blushes I've used, I'm able to easily pick up pigment on my brush. It's fairly light, so you can build the color up to your liking. S soon as I blended a light coat onto my cheekbones, I was hooked. It truly does look Radiant on my fair Complexion with Auburn hair. It gave the most beautiful, natural looking flush and the gold flecks aren't chunky and noticeable, it just gives it a luminous look that brightens up the rest of your look and really makes your highlighter pop! (if you wear highlighter). I always layer my powder blushes over liquid /cream blushes so it increases the longevity. I can apply this at 7am. And I'm good for about 12hrs,which means unless I have somewhere I have to go in the evening, I don't have to touch it up at all. I highly recommend this for all the ladies who like a nice soft pink blush

Another Milani blush I really like. Looks can be deceiving when it comes to this blush. It looks very intense but once it is on it seems to "chill out" a bit and doesn't look quite as bright. This is a great buildable color that gives a nice flushed look.

This blush is amazing. I will admit I originally purchased it because rumor had it Luminoso was a dupe for Nars Orgasm. That would be a lie. Luminoso is nothing like Orgasm and to be honest I prefer Luminoso. It is a beautiful warm peach color that shimmers slightly. It is very flattering and quite buildable. I am very "flat" but this blush brings my face to life! I strongly recommend everyone try it once. If you hate it you can always return it but chances are you will love it.

I purchased all the Milani Baked Blushes and in all honesty, I've stopped investing in higher end blushes unless there is something very unique that I want. I find Milani blush to be gorgeous, buildable and long wearing. I've also blended different colors to get different tones. For example, Corallista + Luminoso. Dolce pink+Delizioso Pink. I also blend with my existing MAC blushes. I have always snubbed drugstore products until last year and I've missed some great values as a result. Milani blushes are truly fantastic. What I find amazing is... A swatch or glance might leave you thinking they would be glittery on. They aren't. They have just the right amount of soft shimmer with NO fall out or powdery mess. A+ from me!! I'm going to be testing out much more in their line and beauty bloggers turned me onto it!!

Lovely shade for fall or winter. Super duper pigmented with a nice baked design that is easy on the eyes. I only wish the shimmer was toned down just a notch or two, then it would be a lovely day blush as well!

I love milani's baked blushes, they are soft, have good pigmentation and are so easy to blend. I like luminoso the best because it doesn't have glitter, it gives such a nice warm shine to your cheeks. I also own rose gold and berry amore. I find rose gold was way too much shimmer/glitter so its hard to pull off if you are not sun tanned. Berry amore has significantly less glitter, still some though, and is a very nice color for the winter as its more of a mauvey coral.

This blush goes with me where ever I travel. Its so user friendly and such a perfect peachy shade that it's hard to go wrong with it. It hasn't once crumbled or done anything wonky, this is a consistent staple in my makeup bag and even better, it's affordable!
