Blush is the new highlighter. Because of Instagram and Snapchat filters, blushes have been super popular in the last couple of years. From drugstore to high-end and liquid to powder, there are hundreds of shades and matches for that good flush. Some super old OG holy grails are also have been selling out within a minute. Milani Blushes named Luminoso and dolce pink used to be well-loved even 12 years back. Me, I have been a blush lover for all my life. It’s part of my everyday routine. So I had to get the popular Milano Baked Blush in Luminoso when it was on sale recently.

Milani Baked Blush Luminoso Review
Packaging: Right off the bat, the Milani Baked Blush has awful packaging. It’s the dome-shaped blush that takes up a lot of space and doesn’t even look that good in my vanity. The product is not easy to travel with but the color can be seen from the outside which is the only good thing I can say about the packaging.
Texture: The blush has a baked texture so it glides onto the skin like butter. It doesn’t look patchy or uneven. It feels very light and doesn’t feel like it has a lot of weight.
Fragrance: It does not have any fragrances whatsoever. Meaning there is no overbearing smell when I open or use it. So if you are particularly sensitive to the fragrance side, you are good to go!
My Experience:
The Milani Luminoso blush is a coral peachy color that looks great on warmer skin tones girls. They are long-wearing and good for someone who is looking for a shimmery blush. It does have quite a lot of shimmer and somewhat glitter as well so one needs to understand before buying.
On the good side, when I am running late this works as a highlighter and blush. The product can also be light for super dark skin tones but that also be buildable to light peachy color. It’s non-comedogenic and doesn’t break out, at least for me. It is not a matte blush but the color is truly a chef’s kiss. Milani is one of the middle-range drugstore brands like NYX. And with international makeup, the pricing is even higher in India. So grab the blush when it’s on sale only!
Pros:
- The beautiful peachy color looks great on Indian skin tone.
- The baked formula which good on bare skin and dewy foundation.
- Long-wearing.
- Noncomedogenic and doesn’t break out skin.
Cons:
- Have shimmers and chunky glitters in it.
- Very bulky packaging.
- Might be light for dark skin tone girls and boys.
- Pricey for a blush.
Rating: 3/5
Would I recommend it? It’s a nice blush for light skin tones overall. Get it only if you like blushes with highlighting particles.
