Hi guys! Today I want to share with you a review I’ve thought about doing for the MILK Makeup Blur Stick . Please note that no one paid me to do this review. I am just a girl that likes makeup so I thought I would buy this and review it since it’s something that’s new now.
Where I Heard About This Product
One day when I had more time on my hands (I know, crazy right!?) I was on SnapChat and after seeing everyone’s snaps, I decided to read the articles on Snap (sometimes they have good ones). One such article was on the newest makeup products to try. There were about 5 items, but the only one that caught my eye was the Milk Makeup Blur Stick. It promised to reduce pores and give your face a “blurred” look, sort of like in photoshop with the blur tool. I took a screencap of this and saved it for future reference.
Christmastime!
When Christmas came and went, I had in my hands, a gift card from my brother and sister-in-law for Sephora. They knew I loved makeup so they got me a gift card. Yay! I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to buy: the blur stick. It came nicely in Sephora’s awesome packaging, and as soon as it arrived, I knew I would try it on. I also ordered a liquid eyeliner that had been recommended by this fabulous Beauty blogger: Kandee Johnson (my favorite makeup artist ever!) and several samples. I decided on the spot I would apply the blur stick and use only the samples and eyeliner to do my “face” that day. Oh and no sponges or other tools, I was using my fingas!
I will show you at the end what that result looked like. For now, I’d like to show you what the blur stick looks like on my face only.
Me and my blur stick before application
There I am holding the product in my hand just to prove that I do own it.
Before And After
And here’s the before and after:
What Is It And What Does It Do?
The blur stick comes in a roll up tube and sort of looks like old fashioned deodorant! I say old fashioned because I use a spray deodorant, lol! It has a velvety/ satiny texture to it. When you rub it on your face (directly using the bottle) it seems to dull your face up a bit, making redness a bit less noticeable and shiny areas less shiny. In essence, it diminishes imperfections on your face.
I didn’t apply it where you see that red line on my right cheek (my daughter scratched me!). I’ve seen some beauty bloggers say you shouldn’t apply it to the bridge of your nose, but I do. It leaves a nice soft feel to your skin. Afterward, you can apply your foundation and makeup.
With Makeup On!
Here’s me done up right after the above photos were taken!
Here is the direct link to the product on Amazon’s website. It’s a pricey product and therefore I don’t use it all the time. I save it for special occasions. Overall, I do like it and am happy that I’ve bought it. I feel that it does make a difference on my complexion and I’m happy with the result after applying all my makeup.
A simple, day look using minimal products and samples
And here’s that picture I was telling you about where I am only wearing Sephora samples and liquid eyeliner and the Blur stick. This is a very minimalist look, in my opinion. I received a sample size of Kevyn Aucoin medium coverage Etherealist foundation, Bite the Multistick which I used on my cheeks, and Make Up Forever Artist Plexi-Gloss on my lips. And that’s it!

Wow this product looks really good! Your makeup is gorgeous too btw! I’ll have to check out this product!
Thank you!
Your before and after pics just added a stamp to this post. Great job! I am here thinking about it but wondering if thia will work for my skin tone, as I am African American dark skin. What are your thoughts?
Hmmm that’s a really good question. Since I wasn’t sure of the answer, I did some research and came across this YouTuber. I don’t know her and this is the first time I’ve heard of her, but she has dark skin and I think her observations will help you. It seems as though it doesn’t matter the skin tone, the complexion is what matters, i.e oily skin, dry skin. If you have oily skin this will help matte you up. If you have dry skin it seems as though this product will cling to the dryness which you don’t want. The following youtuber has dry skin and says she uses a damp sponge after applying this to get rid of that white film that occurs when you use this on dry skin. Hope this all helps! https://youtu.be/XPwKXRQCA-c
It looks like it makes a very subtle, but still noticeable, difference. I like the look – I may have to try it.
Thank you!
What a great product. I feel like this would be really good for my skin. I’m SUPER pale (basically see through) and every little thing is glaringly visible on my skin. Something like this would probably help with making things less noticeable!
If you do try it, follow up here and let me know how it works! I’d love to see your results!
I’m not too big into make up, so I’m not 100% sure what this make up blur stick is. However, can I just say you look fabulous. <3
Thanks Tiara, that’s such a nice compliment 🙂 Basically it blurs or minimizes imperfections on your face. So if you have enlarged pores, it will reduce the appearance of them. If you have redness, it will bring it down a notch. Oily skin? It will mattify it so your face doesn’t look oily. It’s also a primer so if you put it on, you can put foundation on right after. It preps your skin for the application of foundation. I have days where I go out all with my makeup, days where I just wear eyeliner, mascara and chap stick, and days where I wear nothing, just chapstick!
Love the before and after pics. You’re a beautiful woman with or without makeup. I love Sephora and could spend hours at a time there! Although I don’t wear makeup anymore, unless for a special occasion, I’ll definitely check out the MILK makeup blur stick. I love the way it smoothens and gives a fresh glow to the face!
Thank you Carissa, that’s such a nice thing to say!
Great review. I like the before and after picture to show the difference! I’ve never tried this stick, so I might head to Sephora to get one soon. 🙂
Awesome! If you do let me know how it worked out!
