Milani Baked Blush, Dolce Pink

Product Information

I’m seriously in love with all the shimmery shades from the Milani Baked Blush collection, but the best ones in my opinion are Luminoso, Berry Amore, and Dolce Pink. These richly pigmented, highly buildable blushes feature satin and shimmery shades. Yes, these blushes really are baked — each one has been sunbaked on Italian terracotta tiles to give your skin a warm finish and a radiance that looks striking and natural. About the brand: Milani Cosmetics is an accessible beauty brand that was founded in Los Angeles and is now available internationally. Milani is known for its versatile shades as well as the high quality it offers for a low price point. The one I’m wearing in the photo above is the shade Petal, which is the palest shade among the bunch. It’s almost skin-like on my medium-toned skin and applies more like a highlighter than a blush.

This bright pink and gold blush is a SHOWSTOPPER and beautiful for adding a pop of color to the cheeks in the spring and summer months.Milani Baked Blushes Swatches – Top Shade: Bella Bellini | Bottom Shade: Bellissimo Bronze Milani Baked Blushes Swatches – Natural vs. Sunlight The one con that I noticed immediately is the strong fragrance—something that’s included in many of the brand’s products. While it does go away a few minutes after applying the blush, it’s a bit overpowering in the beginning. But if you can get past the scent and you’re looking for a true fuschia blush, I think this is a great option.

It gives your skin the most beautiful peachy glow and many users claim it’s a total dupe for the more expensive NARS Orgasm blush. If a vibrant, hot pink blush is what you’re looking for, this is undoubtedly the one for you. At first, I was super intimidated by the level of pigmentation, fearing that it would be too overwhelming on my light skin tone. But, I was wrong—a subtle tap of the creamy formula blended across my cheeks instantly awakens my complexion while remaining pretty wearable. I also love that because the color is rich and the pigmentation is stellar, most if not all skin tones could get great use out of this blush. These Milani Baked Blush (PHP 499) pans have been sitting in my makeup drawer for more than six months now. I bought them last year at BeautyMNL‘s sale as they were 50 per cent off. Not only that, these blushes have a claim to fame to be a “dupe” of Chanel’s JOUES CONTRASTE blush too. Alas, I didn’t know why I bought 4 blushes in the middle of the pandemic, with no place to wear them other than at home or at the grocery. They just look, pretty. Hahaha! Generally speaking, all these blushes are smooth to touch and never chalky. Each pan has a good amount of saturated colour to make sure it applies true on our cheeks. However, all their blushers are either Satin or Shimmer. All have an amount of sparkle/glitter on them so it’s not for those who want a discreet blush for bold eye or lip looks.A beautiful blend of peach and pink tones make this blush the perfect choice for light to medium skin tones. Baked blush is made through a process of slowly pouring cream products on Italian terracotta tiles and baking in the sun until dried. This shimmery + warm pink instantly brightens up the face and is my go-to choice in the spring and summer months.

As for the shade, I love that it's a cool-toned hot pink with just enough warmth in it to be really flattering on tons of different complexions. It's a fun pop of color that's surprisingly wearable for everyday looks. It's also quite pigmented, making it a great choice for people with a wide range of skin tones and depths, but if you have fair skin, be cautioned that just one tap of your brush into the pan will yield some seriously flushed cheeks. If you've been looking for a bold pink powder blush, I don't believe there's a better option on the market than this one.

It has a weightless texture, excellent blendability, and it leaves the cheeks with a dewy, pink flush. If you prefer a powder formula, I highly recommend the EM Cosmetics Heaven's Glow Radiant Veil Blush in Venetian Rose. And if you’re looking to grab something from the drugstore, go for the Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink.
