Great coverage for a short period of time

I had to go through 2 shades to find the right shade to match me. The two lightest shades are super light...I'm taking white as a ghost light. It has a great smooth texture and wonderful coverage when first applied, but after awhile I find it slips of my acne no matter what kind of powder/primer I use.

If it didn't come off so easily this would be a holy grail because it looks natural any where I put it. Also, if just the concealer doesn't have enough coverage for your purposes you can double up with a color corrector (green for acne/red spots and orange for under eye circles).

If someone found a way to make this stay please let me know, I want to love it :D, but for now I am using mac pro-long wear.

Pigmented, proceed with caution

Overal: Milani blushes are super pigmented and made from a soft powder. I recommend either a duo fiber brush or using a regular brush and brushing off some of the excess on the back if your hand before applying.

Color: I would describe this color as a red coral, matte with no shimmer. It is great for a coral cheek with a bit of a "flushed" look too.

If I didn't have so many freak'n blushes (more than 10) I would purchase every shade of this formula.

Ehhh

It keeps my foundation on longer, but I feel like I have to put alot of time into rubbing it into my skin. It is just so hard to blend into your skin and I hate the feel of tugging at my skin. I don't quite know if it is worth it.

Best Bronzer for Fair Skin

Overall: Great for daily use of adding a sun kissed glow, can also be used to slim cheeks

Texture: Smooth with shimmer, but the shimmer isn't as obvious on the skin as other blushes/bronzers I have tried. Think of more of a satin finish. This makes it not only great as a highlight but also as a contour.

Color: Light golden brown, amazing for fair skin. I have hit a whole lot of pan, only cheek product that I have ever done that to. :D

Dense and Soft

I don't use this for foundation or anything all over my face because it picks up some of my dead skin cells when it is a little dry. I love it for blending out blush of applying bronzer with the edge of the brush into the hollows of my cheeks.

It is super soft and dense and it doesn't often shed. I would repurchase, I recommend almost every studio brush.

Ok...

The reason I use cream eye shadows is to make my eye shadows stay on all day (I use TFSI (too faced shadow insurance) on under all of them) and be more vibrant. This only fulfills one of those requirements for me. I have super oily lids so unfortunately for me this only lasts about 5hrs without creasing which is only an hour longer than just TFSI lasts on me on it's own.

The only thing this really does for me is evens out my eyelids and adds a little bit of stick for the shadows before it dries which makes them a bit more vibrant. Unfortunately the stick isn't enough to minimize fall out for me :/. I found that the Revlon cream shadows work just the same for me and they are at a fraction of the price. But if you are looking for something that really performs go for the benefit cream shadows!

Better than those High End knock offs :D

Overall: Love! I tried urban decays zero before it and was unimpressed. This milani eyeliner was everything I thought that the urban decay would be!. Stays super well on waterline/tightline/uperlashline, we are talking at least 8hrs here! Pigmentation that you have only seen in your dreams. Only 5 shades, needs more, inexpensive.

Texture: Butter soft. Glides onto anywhere you want to put it without tugging it practically melts into your skin and never budges after it dries. I would be afraid to leave it out on a hot day. The only problems you might encounter with it is an inability to draw a small line because it is hard to keep a tip with something so soft. This also leads you to sharpen it more and you run out faster which is terrible!

Black: Matte dark black (I tight-line with this daily)

Brown: Matte midtone brown (This would be great if black is to harsh for you but I never find myself reaching for it)

Aqua: Matte aqua color (This is beautiful on the waterline and top lash line with a gold eye)

Silver: Different texture than the other, it glides on the same as all others, but the pigmentation was a little patchy. It also doesn't last as long as the others, I got abut 4hrs of wear. It is a shimmering silver not matte at all. (I was going to use this on the water line to brighten up my eyes when they seemed like they needed a boost but I returned it because it wasn't on the same level as their other eyeliners)

Glitter Ahoy!

Overall: Great shade selection, inexpensive. Packaging makes it difficult to open

Texture: I find it to be a bit to gritty for my tastes, chunks of glitter chilling on top of the blush kinda freak me out.

Carolina: Beautiful bright coral color, would wear it everyday but cant stand the glitter! People say that you can blend the glitter out but I find it impossible to do, so if you don't like glitter on your face stay clear. But if you don't mind glitter pick this up right away because the color is so amazing.

Dolce Pink: Pink with hints of gold glitter. I prefer the carolina color, I never find myself reaching for this one. Has the same problem with the glitter :(

Blush, Bronzer, Powder, whatever you want to put on your face this can do it for you beautifully. Soft hairs and sturdy design I have never had any hairs fall out. And, cruelty free!

Lasts All Day

Overall Feelings: They are the only things that keep my shadows on all day when sandwiched between too faced shadow insurance and a powder eye shadow. Minimizes fallout.

Texture/Application: These glide on to your lids very easily and they have a silicone texture so I personal feel like they have a bit to much slip to be used as a liner. Drys to a powder finish. I personally like to use my fingers to apply this the best but it can be done with a brush.

Finish: Mostly shimmery, not glittery.

Birthday suit:This is a great base for just pumping up a nude eye, to me it looks like a shimmery golden taupe. (This goes nicely with wet n wild silent treatment or comfort zone)

RSVP:This was my first one I got, it is less versatile than birthday suit but it works as a great base under any pinkie champagne eye shadow (pairs great with wet n wild walking on eggshells trio)

Top Brass:I just bought this yesterday so I haven't had that much time to experiment with it that much. Swatched in the store it looked like a browner slightly warmer version of birthday suit, but on my eyes it looked like an orange light bronze. It adds a good amount of warmth under your eye-shadows if that is what you are looking for, but that is not what I expected. It may be returned :/ (I can imagine that this would look great with wet n wild's I'm getting sunburned but I do not own it, I think I need to get it :D)

Taupe-Azatic:This was again part of a set of 3 cream shadows. It seems to have a different texture than the others in the fact that it blends out kind of patchy. Straight up gold color with shimmer. I find this not wearable for daily use, but great when you want to do a golden eye. (I love using a variety of gold shadows with this and the milani liquefy eyeliner in aqua)

Platinum:This was part of a set of 3 cream shadows. It seems to have a different texture than the others in the fact that it blends out kind of patchy. I am not the biggest fan of this cream shadow, I find it rather unwearable. It is white with frosty shimmer, to frosty and stark for the brow bone as a highlight, and still to stark for me in the inner corner. Maybe in the dead of winter when I am super pale I will find a use.
