Milani Baked Blush - Review, Photos & Swatches

Milani Baked Blushes are one of the hottest, new launches from Milani that will be a part of their permanent collection. All blushes in the baked range are highly pigmented and shimmery. They come in nine beautiful shades. Check out the entire shade range here.
L-R : Red Vino, Bellissimo Bronze
L-R : Red Vino, Bellissimo Bronze

I'll be reviewing Red Vino and Bellissimo Bronze. Red Vino is a deep berry that has gold veins running through it. It would look best on medium-dark skin tones. If you are fair skinned, this might be a little too bright for you so, just a light sweep along the cheeks would do the trick. The colors in Red Vino mix beautifully to create a bright pop of color. Belissimo Bronze on the other hand is pretty universal. It's a shimmery, peachy-bronze shade that would make a great summer pick! The shimmer in these blushes are not tacky but there is quite a bit of it.
Swatches L-R  : Bellissimo Bronze, Red Vino
When it comes to these blushes, a stippling brush is your best friend. The colors are packed with a lot of pigment so I would like to apply these with a very light hand which is why I think a stippling brush is the perfect way to go. Since this is also a bit shimmery, using a normal blush brush emphasizes my pores a little too much. They are super blendable and stay put for a good 5-6 hours. Red Vino leaves a gorgeous flush when it fades.
The blushes come with a mirror and a brush applicator which makes the packaging a little bulky. I like the idea of a mirror but the brush applicator is not something I'd use to apply these.

Overall, these are great blushes with amazing color payoff at an affordable price tag. Love them! I would totally try a shade or two more. Highly Recommended!

  12. These are by far my favorite blushes to use! Even over my MAC's. I have all of the mineral blushes and five of the new baked ones. I don't have these two particular colors because I wasn't sure how they would look on my skin, but seeing your review made me for sure HAVE to get them now! Thanks so much, hun!
