I love this blush! I am pretty fair-skinned, so I layer it on after I put on some bronzer powder and the Dolce Pink is perfect, a light pretty pink with a bit of shimmer but not too much so you look sparkly. The packaging isn't the best, a little bukly and the brush, so-so but who cares when it's this cheap and it looks fab!

Love this blush!! It is not too pigmented so it is easy to apply. Yes, this does have shimmer. Lots of it. But if you apply it with a duo fibre brush you can tap off the shimmers. If you apply it with a classic blush brush I find the shimmer is too much, but if applied with a duo fibre it is beautiful! However, the shimmers are never completely gone but it leaves a very tasteful sheen on the cheeks. I love to layer this blush over matte blushes on the area close to my cheekbones and it looks great! But it also looks great if I wear it alone with a matte eyeshadow look or just on a natural day with just mascara and some pink lip gloss. Love love love!! It is not too overpowering on my very fair NC15-NC20 skin even though it is gold undertoned.

This is a shimmerbomb. I got it for the pretty pink color, but when put on the cheeks it was just way too shimmery for me, to where it overpowered the pink base. It also wore off after a few hours. Returned.

So, the color is great for a daytime look that will last a few hours. Even after using the Urban Decay setting spray, it does fade after lunch. The packaging fell apart after my first use, which I dealt with because the price of the item is sooo cheap. Again, great for day time wear, but you may need to freshen up once or twice.

This is my current favorite blush. I used to use Nars super orgasm blush which I love but its hard to love at 35$. With milanis blush I get the same effect I just need a little more blush because its not as pigmented. But overall this is a great blush

This color is very pretty but swatches online are misleading. It does have a decent amount of shimmer/glitter pigments in it but when you apply it with a brush you only get the color and no shimmer, which I like. It is opaque so you would have to apply with a light hand but it is buildable and this color in particular is not too pink, not too peach. A very good in-between mix. However, I really hate the packaging. It's very bulky and seems very cheap and not well put together.

I love this blush for a pretty pink that is natural but still a little glowy.
I swiped this on my arm to check out the color first and was shocked by how glittery it look. On the cheeks, I do see shimmer and a tiny bit of glitter but it is very subtle compared to the initial swatch.

Buy it for:
- the color (perfect pink that will suit a lot of skin tones, I have light to medium yellow toned skin)
- pigmentation (one swipe and it showed up great on my cheeks)
- smooth texture

This is the most beautiful, rose-peach flush I've ever seen. It's buttery and smooth too, and goes on like a dream. It just warms up my face and brings out my high cheekbones! The gold veining is gorg, and this is my absolute, all-time HG.

This is way tooooo shimmery! I look like a disco ball after application.
The case is bulky with its second compartment for the blush brush (which I do not use!)
I had high hopes for this blush, but alas, this did not work for me.

ummm im surprised some say its glittery some say not i can see why. i am ppp very pale on me you cant ee any glitter which is good but you cant see any gold and i wanted more gold toshow

all i see is a super light barely there bubble gum like pink.
i want golds in my pinks to warm it up yet not turn orange or muddy... so the colors stay seperate..so pink stats pink and cool

so I found serious skin care galaxy crush blush and that did it.. its a marbellized blush with equal parts pink mauve purple and light brown(light taupe cool toned ) with gold.... 4 colors.
i would not buy this dolce pink again because its too light i cant over do it... i can apply it 5 times in full doses to my cheeks and still barely see a thing and I dont see any gold or glitters at all even looking close. so i can say if nothing else it looks natural.
didnht seem to last too long either.also its rather gritty, nothing finely milled about this one. its like sand.

I love the color, such a nice pretty pink! However, there is too much glitter, it goes on everywhere and sometimes when I pick it up with the brush - more glitter comes out, than the actual color. But nice blush otherwise!

i am a huge blush snob and have only used nars and mac for years.

however, i saw some of these baked blushes at meijer while i was shopping and this shade and corralina (i think that's the name) just stood out to me so much, i had to try them.

dolce pink is a beautiful, shimmery (not glittery, like nars' super orgasm) warm toned medium pink that looks amazing on my nc15-nc20 skin. i traditionally stick to corals and peaches for my cheeks, as i think that pinks look to fake or "doll-like" on my complexion, but this pink is amazing. it has very nice pigmentation, i only need a light swipe over the product to cover both of my cheeks. it's also easily blended and the shimmer is very subtle- it doesn't make me look oily or draw attention to my pores at all, it just gives a healthy glow. i think that this blush would look great on people with darker skin tones as well, and is appropriate for any age group.

most importantly, though, it lasts just as long on my oil-slick of a face as any high end blush i've ever used. i generally put it on around 10 am and it still looks about 90% by the time i get home from school at 10 pm. if i use urban decay's setting spray or my muf hi-def finishing powder, it's even better. this is great for me, as my face is super oily. it has also never made me break out.

the only thing that i don't like is the packaging. it looks fine and everything and actually include a little mirror, but one drop and the lid will break right off. i've had to super glue a couple of the clear middle parts back onto the gold outer part of the lids, but there really is no way to fix the hinge once it breaks, unfortunately. also, the brush it comes with is crap, but that's to be expected.

This is one of my most reached for blushes lately. I recently picked it up while browsing around at CVS. Many years ago I had the original Luminous Milani blush, then last winter I picked up my first of their baked blushes in Red Vino, and I hadn't had any negative experiences with either of those blushes so decided to grab this one up as well for right around $9 USD.
I've been on a "natural looking makeup" kick for a few months now, since (from the help of the boards) getting my acne prone skin (clogged pores/blackheads) under control, I no longer need a full coverage, all done up look on a daily basis (Yay!) :)
For reference I have 30yr old, fair and warm (NC15 in MAC), very oily, acne/clog-prone skin with brown hair and eyes. The reason I hadn't purchased this blush sooner as I noticed all the specks of shimmer/glitter in this everytime I walked past it and was afraid it would be too sparkly on my 30 yr old skin, or that it wouldn't very well compliment my larger size pores (shimmery blushes usually emphasize the look of my large pores) --To my surprise, this looks very beautiful and natural. If I get close to a mirror in natural lighting I definately do notice the shimmer in this, but it's not overbearing, and almost doubles as a highlighting effect. The color is quite pigmented, but at the same time you don't have to be super careful when applying (I'm thinking of the NYX powder blushes -Having pale skin I can get clown-cheeks if I'm not super careful with the application of those!) So I do love that I can apply this (as well as Red Vino) even when in a pinch without being sat down at my vanity with a full set of makeup tools (which being a mother of two little ones is something that happens often) ;)
I do not care for the included blush brush, it's pathetic to be honest.. I tossed it and have been trying this with several brushes I already own (not sure which one gives the best application yet though) -but all that I've tried have applied it well, and it's lasted on my oily skin *all* day! I've also experienced no issues with breakouts or clogged pores from this blush.
I highly reccomend Dolce Pink and think it would be complimenting on other skintones (whether it be lighter or darker than mine) and I definately plan to repurchase, even though that will not be anytime soon due to how highly pigmented this is ;) -5 lippies from me!

milani baked blushes in general are to die for, this particular shade on the other hand, missed the mark. its got...flecks of glitter! i dont know about you but im not going for the spice girl look. the color itself is VERY sheer. im not looking to be raggedy ann, but theres no color AT ALL! i have to scrub it on my face. cute packaging as always. i like all the other shades....its just this one, i wouldnt repurchase.

This color was really rosy and pretty when I saw it, but when you put it on it has a noticeable gold tint to it. Has beautiful gold shimmer added. I have peach fuzz and sometimes get oily around my temples. I think it highlighted that area a bit much. If I had perfectly flawless skin I think I would like it more! The packaging is really lovely and looks expensive.

I absolutely adore the color--so pretty and feminine. The color is a bit too shimmery and very light on my NW30 skin. My main complaint is that this blush seems to break me out. Every time I use it I notice that I have a couple new spots of acne exactly where I applied the blush. It'd be so great if I didn't break out because I'd love to use it... The packaging is very pretty and I like that it has a brush and a mirror.

Top quality product in formulation and colour composition for practically nothing. However it has too much red in it for a fair/neutral complexion.

Just like the luminoso blush, I looooooooove it :) It's very pigmented, it's shimmery but I don't really see that too much when I put it on, it's just a nice light pink, kind of neutral toned, I think without the goldish shimmer it would be cool toned. I like it a lot, it's been lasting pretty well. As usual, the packaging on these blushes is poo! and the brush that comes with it is worthless. but I'm very happy with this stuff!
