Has anyone used Milani blushes?

AngelPuppy1 — Sun, 28 May 2017 11:38:00 GMT

I was in the drugstore the other day. I saw these Milani blushes and wondered if they are any good? They had a beautiful shade called "Tea Rose" which really caught my eye. I don't know if the formula is drying or chalky. I am very fair also so don't know if this color would be too dark. They also had these pretty blushes which had many colors mixed together -- the separate colors kind of looked like little flowers.

I was actually looking for a drugstore cream blush but couldn't find any. So, if anyone has a suggestion for this, too, I would appreciate it!

Thanks for your replies!

I use various blushes in general. I use a Milani blush that is a dupe for Nars "Orgasm". I like it.

I have Milani's Baked Blush in Luminoso (this is the dupe for Nars' Orgasam). This is a peachy shade with a little shimmer.

I also have Milani's rose powder blush in Romantic Rose (this a rosy matte pink).

I like both of them. Milani makes great blushes.

I've used both the baked blush (in Luminoso) and the one that has the shape of a rose pressed into it. I like the baked better than the rose shaped one. The baked did what it was supposed to do, give a wash of blush over the cheekbones. The pressed one didn't have as nice of a finish for me and seemed more powdery, I ended up pitching it. Someone else may have had a different experience from me though. I haven't tried the new one that has several shades and looks like a bunch of sunrays on the horizon, but I might eventually get the bronzing shade in that one. Overall, I think they're pretty good for an inexpensive drugstore brand.

@AngelPuppy1 As far as blogger opinions, I take it with a grain of salt. I can only give you my personal opinion which may be different than others on Milani Rose Blushes.

I have the Romantic Rose which is a true matte blush. Mattes are not my fav. type of blushes because they tend to look dry on the skin & I have some I like but always top them with a soft glow highlighter, Back to Milani, It is not a pigmentated blush. The usually fluffy blush brush does not pick up hardly any product. One of the brushes that works with it is Real Techniques Expert Face Brush or something similar that has tighter bristles & it does blend well. You will have to try it for yourself to see if YOU like it. The Tea Rose shade could have more pigmentation, I just don't know

I think one of the best cream Drugstore Blushes are from NYX. They are very creamy & easy to apply. They are pigmentated so use sparingly. I have it in natural & rose petal. Another DS Blush which is less pigmented & creamy is by Elf. Both are not matte but more of a satin finish & both are easily blendable..If you choose to try the Tea Rose, hope you like it, if not return it. Good Luck

Yes, I really like Milani. I use the berry amore Blush, it looks so natural. I also use the Glow baked bronzer for a touch of summer color.

I haven't used their blushes but I really like their eye shadows. They go on easily and have good color pigmentation. I have been tempted by the blushes too and will give them a whirl the next time I need a new one.

Thanks very much for all your input, reviews, tips, etc!

I am not very knowledgable on blush and have just recently started experimenting. So, I am not sure at this point what is good for me. That is, I guess, another reason why I like to use drug store items. Not as expensive and usually pretty easy to return!

I think I am going to try the Milani blush. Nothing ventured, nothing gained --- as the saying goes!!!

@AngelPuppy1

I've always liked Milani products and have been very pleased with many across the board. Unfortunately my CVS has been sporadic in keeping items stocked. I have the Nars dupe plus other shades too. Always liked their lipstick. It's rather long lasting, highly pigmented formula and this too is moderately priced and above average quality for a DS line.

It's good that others here can share their opinions on your shades in question. I have great success in googling a specific item along with 'reviews' typed in the search bar. This is especially helpful while shopping for some instant feedback. Myself personally, look for a consensus of opinion in my internet searches. Of course I find those of similar age or characteristics like mine attract my attention. Please know I am in no way discounting the fabulous women here and their wonderful support and feedback...just saying in a pinch, looking at a pretty new item in store, Google has been my friend..

I have the milani Romantic Rose - the one shaped like a rose -which is a matt blush. I am very fair so I have to be careful with blush. Too much makes me look clownish. I find this product to be just a perfect slight flush of color. I apply it with just a regular blush brush - nothing special.

I was using a Laura Geller cream blush in a tube in a rose shade that I liked but the product kept falling out of the tube until I finally got disgusted with it and threw it away.

Those Milani blushes are on my list of things I want to try. I've heard a lot of good things about them from beauty vloggers.

I'm also hoping to try Elf's cream blush palette, the one with the softer colors. It's available in the makeup aisle at some stores, but also on Elf's website and Ulta's. It's only $6. (I want to get the Elf small stippling brush to apply it as well.) I found this picture of it, so you can see the shades:

I haven't tried it yet, so I can't say that I'm recommending it, but I've seen a lot of good reviews on it, and it's not expensive, so I'm going to give it a try.

We have only 1 CVS in the area, but not close to my house. However, I've seen Milani products at Kroger and at Meijer. I think they have them at Target as well. I once saw these particular Milani blushes on sale at Kroger, and I've never seen them on sale at Meijer. I should've bought one when I saw it on sale at Kroger.

Those shades look really pretty and from the picture --- not really dark and heavy! Thanks for putting these pictures!

I have used the Milani blush that has the flower printed on it. I can't remember if it was Tea Rose or Romantic Rose. Anyway, I liked it so much that i bought two more in the same color so i wouldn't run out. Do I use other blushes, yes. I like to try out other types of blushes, just for variety. But i really like the Milani flower shaped blushes. I can always count on them. Never have to worry about the color because it's a basic. I have light not fair skin & warm blonde hair, if this helps.

Re: Has anyone used Milani blushes?

Lipstickdiva — Tue, 30 May 2017 15:04:13 GMT

The only one I've used is Luminoso. I like it 10 times better than the Nars blush it is a dupe of.

Re: Has anyone used Milani blushes?

Leeny — Tue, 30 May 2017 15:43:57 GMT

I have and am still using Milani blush in the color Blossomtime Rose # 11. I really like this. It isn't chalky at all. In fact I carry this in my handbag as it's not expensive and I carry it with my Laura Geller brush that rolls up in a tube. I also like Milani lip colors too. The blush is very similar to Too Faced Candy Glow.

@AngelPuppy1 I know, right? I think I could make at least 3 of these work, if not all 4. My skin is dry, so I thought it might be time to try cream blushes. Glad you are liking the picture.

I still want to try the Milani blush you mentioned as well.
