Milani Baked Bronzer, Glow

Product Information

Lauri Minc, a former art teacher in East Los Angeles, founded Milani under one principle: “Beauty is something that is alive, real, and should be accessible to everyone.” Wanting to make high-end cosmetics at a drugstore price, Milani started as a brand for multicultural consumers, devoted to bringing beauty to those who often went overlooked at the beauty counter—the brand was one of the first to showcase diverse models in-store. Finger swatches can be deceiving: this doesn’t look the best in a full on finger swatch. But trust me: the magic happens when you apply this with a brush. The texture is buttery smooth and easy to use. I feel the shade is a perfect match for me to add warmth and depth to my face. But there is a but: while this is a great dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury bronzer, I have found another product that I love even more that is as close of a dupe. The product I am talking about: the Kiko Milano Flawless Fusion bronzer. I prefer it ever so slightly over this Milani bronzer. Why? Because the shade is more neutral/ cool toned and less warm and it is even more affordable at €10.99 at full price but Kiko does sales often and it is currently for sale at €7.69. What does this bronzer look like on my skin? Shine a spotlight on your skin -- it's time for a glow up! Milani highlighters and bronzers give you high-wattage glam and lit-from-within luminosity. We made it! I reviewed all the foundations I still had to review, but now there are still a few products that were in recent Shop my Stashes that I still wanted to roundup. So that will be this week’s theme. One such product? The Milani Silky Matte bronzer in 01 Sun Light. Is this a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush bronzer? Is this a good product of its own accord? Who knows, that’s what we will find out in today’s bronzer review. Review: Milani Silky Matte Bronzer 01 Sun Light Highlighter makeup should look as natural and flattering as great lighting -- Milani highlighters make you look lit. Strobe, glow and throw things into flattering soft focus with our diverse collection of liquid highlighter, powder highlighter compacts and illuminating powder palettes. Pinks, peaches, pearls. Shimmers, glimmers and strobes. Our highlighters come in a wide range of different color undertones and finishes, giving you unlimited options.

Diversity and individuality aren't just buzzwords for Milani—they're part of the brand's core mission, and have been since it launched. "We create makeup for every shade, attitude, and style and have done so since the very beginning, way before inclusion and diversity was a hot topic," Tall explained. The brand's motto is "Luxe for All," intending to make luxury quality products at an affordable price point. "We are targeting the multicultural makeup enthusiast who believes diversity and beauty are intertwined," says Tall. They want to promote the concept of wearing makeup because you want to, not because you need to, by using innovative, top-of-the-line formulas, and for every skin tone, without compromise. The brand prides itself on being cruelty-free and is developing its portfolio of vegan products consistently. Have a hot and cold relationship with the sun? We've got you covered with our bronzer makeup collection. These bronzers give you all the captivating color with none of the rays and wrinkles. Choose from easy-to-apply liquid bronzers and convenient powder bronzer compacts.However, that doesn’t mean the Milani bronzer isn’t a good one. This is a great product in its own accord. As you can see here there is a clear difference between the before and after prictures. This product adds warmth, doesn’t look muddy and goes well with my skin tone. Because this bronzer is a bit more warm toned this is better for me in the summer time and not necessarily a year round product for me. So this is again why I slightly prefer the Kiko over the Milani: it works for me with many more looks and it’s a year round product for me. My final thoughts
