im absolutely OBSESSED with this blush, since i dont live in USA i ordered this from nonpareilboutique and i love how no matter how much i apply, it doesn't look like i over applied too much blush, its amazing and goes with every single eye makeup look i do, i think this has even taken the spot of my favorite blush of all time from mac which is melba! <3 Milani makes THE BEST blushes EVER.

This is one of the best blushes I've ever used, I adore it and use it almost daily. I am NW15 and this gives me a 'just been for a brisk walk' glow. People comment on how well I look and how great my skin is purely because this blush makes me look healthy. The magic lies in the fact that it's very finely milled and very sheer so you can build up a very natural-looking colour. I used to use Mac Blushbaby but this is every bit as good. LOVE!!

NW10 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.

This blush is HG status for me. Beautiful sheer wash of plum and berry. Great for fall and winter.

Love this shade! Received it as a present and at first I didn't think I was going to like it because it looked dark in the pan, but it looked really nice on the face. The only downside is that the product isn't very soft and pigmented, so I have to really dig my blush brush in to get some product. I wasn't a fan of the packaging, seeing as how the mirror is on the flipside and I didn't care for the dinky little brush.

I picked up this blush, pretty much because Milani was on sale, and I needed a blush since mine had just run out and I wanted to try something different. I've had it for months now, and I've seriously hardly made a dent it in. I use it pretty much everyday with a fluffy angled blush brush, and I love it! It's matte, which I'm really a fan of, I'm pale, so sometimes shimmer overwhelms me. It feels so light, I usually forget that I even put it on! Compared to my other daily products, this one looks like I've hardly used it! Definitely not a bad thing since I like it so much!

This is a beautiful matte dusty pink/rose blush with plum/puple undertones. I had this in my collection for a while and did not use it. I would put it on and see barely anything. It was just easy to wear my MAC Desert Rose blush and go on mornings.

But I just pulled it out one day and decided to start using it. It is a buildable blush which is visible after laying it on. It could be built up to create a soft flush of color on the cheeks or for a more intense look without it looking too cakey or powdery.

I am tan/dark and it shows up great on my skintone. It is very flattering and great for every day use.

This is my first plum blush. I was always into peach and coral cheek colors but until I got this I was skeptical. I like it a lot. The color is harder to build up but when you apply enough it looks good. I think Milani blushes are some of the best drugstore ones out there. I do recommend if you don't mind taking the time and building this to your liking.

Because this is a deep plum shade, I use this as a contour blush worn with my pink blushes and it looks simply amazing. I totally agree with other reviewers that the package is useless and I took one lippie off for that. I also agree with other reviewers that the color has great staying power and is finely milled like high end blushes. It goes on silky smooth and because it is so highly pigmented, a little goes a long way. I got this along with luminous at walgreens for $2.99 each, so I could not resist! Even if theses aren't on sale, these blushes are totally worth the drugstore price because as I said earlier, they are as good or better than high end blushes!

I was afraid this would be too cool for me yellow-toned, medium skin (MUFEHD 140; I think NC25/30). However, it's a pretty neutral pink. It's great for day wear. Pretty color, and at a great price.

Super pretty blush! I got it for 75% off at CVS (makes me think its being discontinued or ‘revamped’). It was the darkest of the mineral blushes. It’s a lovely, matte medium berry/mauve/plum shade. Very similar in tone to ELF Studio Blush in ‘Berry Merry’ (my other favorite powder blush!), minus the shimmer.


I agree with the others that the mirror & brush are useless. I use my own Clinique blush brush. This is quite pigmented- one dab in the pan is enough to give my cheeks a beautiful rosy glow. I really love a strong blush, so I have to have a little ‘restraint’ with this one! I use it over a gel/cream/liquid stain blush to ‘set’ the color, or alone if I’m in a hurry or doing a ‘minimal’ makeup look. Either way, the staying power is great (8+ hours).


I think this is probably a pretty ‘universal’ blush shade suitable for many skin tones. The texture is soft & blendable, its pigmented and easily buildable. A nice powder blush for my ‘shimmer free’ days!

LOVE milani blushes! They are by far the best blushesI have tried. Lasts more then 12 hours (All day). These are matte and very very piggmented very similar to MAC. Some people complain about the packaging and the brush that comes with it, but that doesn't bother me the product is great!! Love it Love it Love it!!

Pretty rosey medium pink. It looks better then a MAC blush I have that is very similiar in tone. Sweet Rose applies so smooth and feels light. It lasts all day. Yea the packaging is clunky but this blush is fabulous for a drugstore brand. I would purchase more Milani blushes after seeing how great this one is.

This is a really nice blush, it gives a youthful and blushing glow. It has really good and beneifical ingredients so it wont clog pores etc. Absouletly love this blush and will continue purchasing it. It has really good staying power aswell. I applied my blush at 11am this morning and its 11pm right now, and it still looks good. I didnt even need to re-apply. 10/10!!

This is the perfect color for my deep tan complexion. It's also very build able. It's not very long lasting, but makes for a great setting blush over my 10 hour wear cream blush. I also love the packaging, very cute and has a separate compartment for the brush with a mirror that I enjoy. Great blush for the price.

I've got this and luminous. They are fabulous shades. Sweet rose goes beautifully with my Mac lipstick in hot gossip. Its one of my favorite duos. I like that I can tone this down and build it up without it being Boring or to over the top. I feel like I can use this year round and with all types of looks. Its very versatile (:

"Sweet Rose" is a very natural-looking color for fair-skinned girls even though it is presented as the darkest shade in this blush line. It looks like a dusty rose color, and if you are pale and pinch your cheeks, that is the exact same color it will come out when you swatch it on your face. It doesn't break me out, and it doesn't dry me out. The only thing I have to complain about is the packaging. The blush has a mirror behind it when you open up the case, and it broke off. It got scratched up and dirty, but if you take good care of the case, you should be well off.

Just Started using this i like it, it looks very natural and matte, thats what i most desire in a blush, because i have oily skin, i dont want to shine, but this color is very pretty, i wanted to find a substitute to my old and beautiful Nude Rose from Estee Lauder that i can no longer find, this does it for me, now i use it every day, by the way love milani its great. :)

I bought this blush three months ago and I've been using it everyday ever since! This is my HG blush on the real. It looks soo flattering on my tan nc43 skin tone. However, I think this will look awesome on everybody. It is so versatile. Everyone is right about the packaging that it's sorta bulky because the mirror and the little brush are useless. But the blush itself makes up for it. The price is pretty good. Honestly, all Milani blushes are amazing. This and Mai tai are incredible. I want to buy a back up of it because I think it's going to be discontinued soon but I don't think I'll ever run out of it because a little goes a long way. I love this blush! I recommend it to everyone!

This blush is great for my dark hispanic skin. It really blends well and although its not over the top pigmented you can tell its a nice blush. I think Milani did a great job with their blushes. Don't use the brush it comes with, try your own blush brush and it will pay off.
