Terra Sole is a gorgeous baked blush, described as a terra cotta color on the Milani site. You can only purchase Terra Sole online which is really unfortunate because it's the only matte blush in the line. The rest of the colors are all shimmery which I don't usually like because the shimmer sinks into my acne scars and large pores.
I don't agree with it being described as "terra cotta" because it makes me think of a more orangey hue when Terra Sole is more pinky. Online, it retails for $7.99 for 3.5 grams (the exact amount in MAC Mineralized blushes if you wanted a size comparison) There's a compartment underneath with a mirror and small brush but I found the brush worthless.
This is my first foray into the Milani blushes and I'm hoping that they come out with more matte blushes! Luminoso seems to be less shimmery than the other blushes from what I've seen in pictures but it also seems like it'd be light for my skin tone.
This is extremely pigmented by the way. You'll only need to gently tap the blush to get enough product on the brush!
The left is a swatch I did with my blush brush done heavily and the right is a finger swatch, also done heavily. It's a nice natural blush and something you can easily sheer out. I didn't feel like it was powdery or crumbly at all. Hopefully they'll decide to offer it in store!
Have you tried their Baked Blushes yet?
I have't tried any Milani blushes. This one looks very pretty! Thanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. :] Seems like it would give a very natural glow~
ReplyDeleteI still haven't tried any Milani products, but they always looks so good, especially for the price!
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time signing up for the free blush. :( I like the way it looks on you. I can't believe that they don't have more than 1 matte blush. I do like this shade though. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously hoping they come out with more matte shades because I'd snatch them up so fast!
ReplyDeleteYeah it's a really pretty natural blush, something I can put on if I'm lazy and don't want to worry about it looking so bright
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, I just wish they'd update their packaging because I feel like it looks a little too cheap
ReplyDeleteApparently Luminoso is more matte in person so I might try that one next
ReplyDeleteI have Luminoso and it is fairly matte...if anything, it has a bit of a glow, but no sparkle.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the pigmentation of these blushes for a drugstore brand. Corallina is my favorite shade, I just wish it had a little less shimmer. Thanks for this post. Being described as Terra Cotta also makes me think dirty orange, so I wouldn't have considered it before.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have and love all of them except the purple one. I can't stand that one for some reason. Terra Sole is a very lovely natural shade. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I think they're way off describing it as terra cotta, it's not the same at all
ReplyDeleteYeah I usually prefer wearing more natural colors on my cheeks, purple is too different for my taste
