Application tip: Buff buff buff! Don’t just brush it on once, it needs a good amount of buffing to make sure the blush adheres and shines naturally on our skin 🙂 I personally love that a tiny bit of the product goes a really long way—it adds to the value—but it’s so incredibly pigmented that it does take a learning curve to figure out exactly how to apply it in a way that’s flattering for you.

Which Milani Blush is best for fair skin? The vibrant color of this blush is was initially drew me in, but the performance is what's completely blown me away. If you like matte powder blushes but you find that they can lean dry or chalky on the skin, I urge you to give this one a try. It's a talc-free formula that contains fermented arnica to reduce redness, as well as a blend of hydrating ingredients—like red raspberry extract, squalane and shea butter—to nourish the skin and create a creamy powder consistency. Although it's a true powder formula which is excellent for those with oily skin, the creaminess in the texture makes it really blendable and flattering on dry skin, too. It provides a natural finish, blends almost effortlessly, and is extremely long-wearing. I saw absolutely no color fading after wearing it for more than eight hours.
