With rave reviews on Makeup alley and all around the beauty blogosphere, Milani baked blushes are undoubtedly one of the hottest makeup releases of this year. I had been lemming for these beauties for a while but it’s really hard to find Milani cosmetics in my area. Although I wanted to pick these up in a store to choose the colors (whenever I got lucky that is!) but when Milani had the free shipping offer going on their website last week, I couldn’t resist myself to order online.
From Milani – A luxurious powder blush that features a mélange infusion of colors baked on Italian terracotta tiles. Easy to use, sensorial in texture, the nuances of color become extraordinarily luminous. Silky smooth application leaves your face looking healthy and radiant all day. Glide brush through color and lightly tap off excess powder. Lightly apply to cheeks, forehead, chin and/or nose and blend well for a sun- kissed look.
Milani baked blush comes in a gold compact with a dual compartment design that features the blush on top and there is a brush and mirror in the compartment below. Although the mirror is a nice touch, the accompanying brush is a little stiff so you might want to get rid of it to make the compact a little less bulky.
To begin with, Milani baked blush is just so pretty with its shimmering marblized design. I got the shade Rose D’Oro which is described as Pink & gold with shimmer on the website but applies more of a bronzed coppery rose with golden shimmer on my skin and I LOVE that! I think the color looks flattering on me and since I do not have anything really similar in my little blush collection so I am a happy bee 🙂
Milani baked blush is super soft and applies beautifully with an excellent color pay-off. It really brightens up my cheeks and imparts a pretty glow! A light hand does the trick but the formula is easily buildable if you want more color. It lasts really well too so you probably won’t need a touch up before 5- 6 hours. Although the shimmer appears a little too much in the pan, it blends out nicely leaving behind a lovely sheen on skin.
To sum it up, Milani baked blush in Rose D’oro is a total winner for me all around and I would certainly buy it again. I think this is probably one of the best drugstore blush I have ever tried as the quality is superb and easily comparable to the high-end blushes. For just $7.99, these baked beauties are a fantastic budget pick for MAC mineralize blushes and skinfinish fans (in fact Rose D’oro is said to be a close dupe for MAC Stereo Rose MSF).
Milani baked blushes are available in 9 shades which means that there is a color for everyone. These are a must-try if you like shimmery blushes that make your cheeks glow!

i’ve been wanting to buy this but every time it’s sold out in the stores. =(
I just picked this up yesterday – in Dolce Pink. Rose D’Oro was out of stock, and would probably look better. I’m a bit shocked at how shimmery it is. I wore it lightly today, and it looked OK.
Dinah- I hope you find it soon!
Soos – I don’t find the shimmer OTT in Rose d’oro and the color is lovely! Give it a try when you find it.
I have this in Dolce Pink. Pretty packaging, but the pay off was just okay. Rose d’Oro definitely looks more pigmented!
Fabuless beauty- I am pretty happy with the pigmentation of Rose d’oro and the shimmer is just right too! Give it a try and hopefully it will work out for you as well.
This looks so gorgeous! I may have to pick this up when I go to the drugstore! 🙂
It is a lovely shade Macy! Give it a try 🙂

Sahar – It is pigmented indeed…..have you tried this shade or any of the Milani baked blushes?
