Milani Baked Blush, Dolce Pink

Product Information

My favorite pink blush of all time is the Make Beauty Heat Stroke Dewy Gel Cheek Tint in Stimulated. 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. Other Options I Tested Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush in Crush On Cupid Regardless of the blush color you’re wearing, you’ll want to keep the formula in mind. If you prefer matte makeup, or you have very oily skin, powder formulas are your best bet. The Too Faced Cloud Crush Blurring Blush in Fuchsia is a great option for a totally matte look, while the EM Cosmetics Heaven's Glow Radiant Veil Blush in Venetian Rose is perfect if you prefer powder products but want a bit of radiance. If you have dry skin or you favor a dewy look, go for a creamy formula, like the Make Beauty Heat Stroke Dewy Gel Cheek Tint in Stimulated or the Melt Cosmetics Cream Blush Light in Pinched. Shade 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.

This light pink and rose gold blush makes a beautiful blush for medium and deeper skin tones or the perfect highlighter for more fair skin tones.

Another difference between blush and baked blush is baked blush can actually be applied wet or dry to achieve a more intense color payoff. I can’t get enough of this one for the summertime, as it’s the perfect blush/bronzer/highlighter combo with a beautiful blend of brown and peach tones.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! I love to use this one as a highlight shade on top of other baked blushes for a gorgeous glow or by itself for a more soft, romantic makeup look.

Traditional powder blushes tend to be chalky, less pigmented, and can sometimes be difficult to work with since they are made with dry ingredients like talc. Whether you’re looking for a way to freshen up your makeup for warmer weather or simply want a product that will enhance your glow, a new blush is always a solid bet. Depending on the shade, it can help you to emanate soft, sun-kissed, or bold aesthetics, and this versatility means that once you’ve found a blush you love, you can try out a whole range of vibrant shades to create the perfect look for every occasion.Berry Amore, Bellisimo Bronze Ingredients: Mica, Talc, Dimethicone, Nylon-12, Isopropyl Palmitate, Polysorbate 20, Acrylamide/Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate Copolymer, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Isohexadecane, Sorbitan Stearate, Lauroyl Lysine, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polysorbate 80, Hexylene Glycol, Tin Oxide, Sorbitan Oleate, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Silica +/- May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Red 7 (CI 15850), Red 6 (CI 15850), Ultramarines (CI 77007) I like to swirl it around the pan first, tap off excess, and dust on the cheeks to ensure I’m getting a nice mix of the matte and shimmer finish. I recommend using this affordable brush from e.l.f. to apply the Milani baked blushes on the apples of the cheeks. Glide brush through color and lightly tap off excess powder. Lightly apply to cheeks, forehead, chin and/or nose and blend well for a soft glow.

This would be my #1 choice for an everyday neutral + pretty blush and works best for fair to medium skin tones. 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. Baked blush is made through a process of slowly pouring cream products on Italian terracotta tiles and baking in the sun until dried.When the process is complete, the blushes are a beautiful, marbled, multi-dimensional finish that reflects light and gives your skin the most perfect, beautiful, natural glowy shimmer.

Under natural light, it’s a stunning, bright pink shade with cool undertones, and it blends into the skin to provide a bold, yet somehow natural-looking flush. If you’re in the market for a bright pink blush that will leave your skin ultra-radiant, I can’t recommend this one enough. 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.
