Review | Milani Baked Blushes


I've been a big fan of the Milani baked blushes for a while now and with the recent addition of two more beautiful shades, I thought a blog post was in order! I've tried a few other bits from Milani but they're baked blushes are spot on and the hype they receive is well deserved. At around $8 online from Cherry Culture or Beauty Bay they're an absolute bargain buy for us Aussies who are accustom to paying a lot more than this for 'drugstore' products.

My first purchase was Luminoso, definitely influenced by the many beauty ladies on YouTube who absolutely raved about this shade and it's been dubbed a dupe for NARS Orgasm, a cult favourite that I personally have never been lured to due to its shimmer but strangely enough I love Luminoso. I'm not the hugest fan of shimmer in blush because it can highlight any textural issues on the cheeks (which I do have) so generally I try to avoid it. The shimmer in Luminoso is quite subtle on the cheeks and just gives more of a glow than a disco ball shimmer effect. These blushes are beautifully pigmented and buttery smooth to apply; they're definitely buildable so use a light hand especially with the brighter shades to avoid looking overly blushed. Like they say, less is more!

Recent additions to the baked blush collection were Dolce Pink and Delizioso Pink which both swatch beautifully and I'm looking forward to putting them to good use. Luminoso is definitely one of my go-to blushes, especially when in doubt because it gives such a beautiful healthy glow to the cheeks.

These are a great choice for a drugstore blush, affordable and amazing quality and pretty easy for us Australian makeup mavens to get our hands on through a few online stores. I definitely recommend these and I may just have to expand my collection in the future..
