When a celeb MUA recommends a drugstore formula, you can guarantee it’s the real deal. The Milani Baked Blush was recommended by none other than Kylie Jenner’s MUA, Ariel Tejada, who uses it regularly to achieve her flawless glow. The Baked powder glides seamlessly onto the skin and is available in a satin or shimmer finish. There are 11 shades in total, ranging from a warm peach that looks stunning on fair to medium skin tones or a cool-toned red that’s perfect for deeper skin tones. The blush has also been repackaged, so it now comes with a mirror and mini brush for quick and easy application.
