Milk Makeup | Matte Bronzer

Terzi

Slightly orange

Good bronzer, creamy, light, just wish it would be more cold undertone than orange

Milky

No bad

I don’t adore this bronzer but it is good for contouring etc. It does last quite well but I think it makes me look a bit patchy at times.

Alison

Fine - meh.

Was pretty hyped for this so have to say I'm disappointed now that it's here... It's a muddy tone that just looks dirty rather than sunkissed and snatched. I've found myself pushing it to the back of my makeup drawer and going back to my old bronzers instead. Disappointing to be honest.

Katie

Perfect

This product is worth the money, the smallest amount goes far and gives a flawless bronze to the skin.

Lisa

Amazing!

Beautiful colour, blends effortlessly just a great product all in all! Will buy again! Maybe get the darker colour as well if I ever get a tan

Holly

Brilliant

I originally thought this would be too dark for my fair complexion but this is beautiful, a little goes a long way and creamy I pat my beauty sponge on this and build!

Elum

Effortless!

This blends like an absolute dream which is perfect for someone who isn’t too confident in their make-up skills (like me). I’m very pale and the lighter shade gives me such a lovely and natural bronzed look. I’m completely obsessed!

Brianna

LOVE LOVE LOVE

This is hands down the best product from Milk. It blends seamlessly and does not remove the makeup underneath. I initially bought Baked, but because I fell in love with it I decided to buy Blazed as I have a light/medium complexion and in the summertime, I tan really easily. I love them both very very much. Worth the money and definitely last a long time too!!!!!

Freya

Best bronzer for dry skin

This truly is an amazing product! I bought it a month ago and have been using it every day since and have not wound it up at all and it’s still going. I think this will last forever. So good for dry skin as it doesn’t cake or cause dryness but I think it would work for all skin types, blends like a dream and doesn’t break me out.

Rhi

Blaze

Such a great bronzing stick so easy to blend! Leaves skin looking sun-kissed and stays put on the skin!

Jessie

Was worth getting woken up at 9am!

Literally writing this half an hour after I've received it, it's that good. I got the shade Baked - tried it straight from the applicator on bare skin and it was so smooth and creamy. It looks quite strong on first application, but once you blend it in (I just used my fingers as I had literally hopped out the bed, received the parcel then decided to test it) it sheers out and blends flawlessly into the skin. I LOVE IT. I'd been on the hunt for a good natural looking bronzer/contour after using Korean Too Cool for School and finding it to be so sheer that it was invisible on me. So the Milk bronzer really fills that niche for me as I can blend it out so it appears natural, and dab a little bit more in areas to deepen the contour to my preference. (Yes, it's buildable!) There is a scent. I've seen some YouTubers describe it as play-doh, and though it's not as strong as play-doh, it is an accurate description. I don't like that scent, but it's only noticeable on my fingers from me blending rather than being able to smell it from my face!

Em

Love it!

100% recommend! Buildable and super easy to blend.

Someone

Love it

Use it every day.

Swannee

So dang good!

I am a very picky makeup addict and this is incredible!! I'm quite pale so was worried that this would be too orange but it isn't at all, it gives the most gorgeous, blendable, natural bronze ever! Really easy to build up too, so great for natural makeup and can build for more dramatic looks. Such a great product and can't recommend it enough :)

Diamond

Matte Milk Bronzer

I like this product a lot. It goes on nice and smooth and will last me a long time. The reason not given 5 stars is the smell. Not a great smell but am getting used to it.

Emma

The Best!

I've used other bronzer sticks/creams before and they have never lasted long or my skin has reacted badly. This matte bronzer is incredible! Absolutely fantastic, and gives a lovely sunkissed glow. Will certainly be buying again!!

Alana

Beautiful and easy to use

This is the perfect product for someone who doesn't really wear bronzer (or doesn't really know how to apply it properly). The Milk Makeup bronzer is easy to use with a creamy texture that blends like a dream! After using this, I look as if I've been on holiday - it works incredibly well on my light olive skin. If you're interested in this particular brand, definitely start with the bronzer, although their lip and cheek sticks are fantastic too!

Sunil

Definitely try this

Any cream bronzer I’ve tried feels gross and turns out awful but this was so, so, so good. Blends beautifully and gives you an after-holiday look. Don’t be put off by the price, it lasts forever.

Doy

Perfect

So impressed. My previous favourite was the Chanel bronzer which I thought was unbeatable. However, after trying this, it is now my favourite. Very impressed with Milk Makeup.

Liv

Exceeded Expectations

I was really nervous about using this as I'm very pale and bronzer scares me quite a bit! However, I was blown away by how lovely this is. It blends like a dream and gives a lush, gentle glow. It's also really buildable without going streaky. I'll definitely repurchase this in the future!

Becca

Lived up to the hype

Bought this after seeing loads of positive reviews online and so glad I did! I bought the lightest shade and have fair skin - the shade works perfectly on me. Blends like a dream and dries down to a satin matte finish, really recommend especially if you’re looking for a cream bronzer for the summer!

Em J

Love, love, loveeeee

I wasn't sure about buying this product at first because I thought it would be hard to blend and look like dirt as I am fair skinned. However, I love it and it compliments my skin beautifully!! If you have fair skin, "Baked" is the perfect colour for a little bit of glow! Truly recommend.

Ali Rose

Bronzer stick

Easy to apply and blend, nice colour for fair skin. I will be buying this and other Milk products again!

Gem

Best cream bronzer

I highly recommend this bronzer to all my family and friends. It is the best cream bronzer that I have used. Amazing!

Karleigh

Milk Bronzer

OMG the best product I've bought this year!!! Glides onto the skin and smooth to blend. I love this product, as do my clients! Thanks Milk Makeup!!

Beans

Baked

This is a very nice, very creamy bronzer. Blends really easily (I use a stippling brush) and doesn't move makeup underneath. However I find the undertone slightly yellow for my skin tone-- although it's refreshingly not orange, it's not as "bronze-y" as a more neutral bronzing shade such as Nars Laguna, my all-time favorite. I just really wanted to try a cream bronzer. I'm going to keep using it nevertheless, but maybe more as a contouring shade. However, you get an absolute ton of product (28g!) I'm sure no other brand will give you as much! Finally, it's important to note it smells like Play-Doh, if that's your thing. I don't mind the scent as it doesn't linger anyway.

Eliana

Oh my...

It’s amazing. I have the shade Baked and it works really well. It’s quite warm, so be aware of that, however I don’t think it looks too orange on me at all (I am quite fair). The thing I like the most is how it blends. Oh my, it blends like a dream.

Nicola

LOVE!

Don't be fooled by the word 'matte' in the description of this product. It's beautiful, creamy, and gives an amazing glow to the skin! Bought in the shade 'Baked', which is perfect for light to medium skin tones. Also impressed by how much product you get compared to others I've seen, so it's well worth the money.

Mara23

"Bronzer for dummies"

I'm slightly coordination challenged in the morning and before I know it, a brush stroke would have disrupted my foundation somewhere, no matter how light handed I try to be. This bronzer is incredible. It makes me feel like a master at my cream bronzer craft. It doesn't lift my foundation (miracle to note) and I look healthy and awake. I'm seriously considering getting the lip/cheek version because the texture is sooooo easy to work with. I've tried so many cream products but this is the only one that I prefer to my powder products. Love it. Now they just need to launch a brilliant stick highlighter.

Nicole

HOLY GRAIL

OMG I can’t get enough of this cream bronzer! It’s so easy to blend and apply, looks like a natural bronze and isn’t matte so looks sunkissed too!

Loz86

Can’t stop using!

Since buying Milk makeup I can’t stop using it. I love the way it looks on the skin and the amount you get for your money. I got the lightest colour in the bronzer and I mix with the hydrating oil stick on the back of my hand and apply to my face with a brush for a dewy/ bronzed look - just like I had seen in one of Milk videos and that’s my go to everyday look now. It takes me 15 minutes in the morning to do my makeup so bonus all round!

Sam

Very nice - Blaze

This product is nice and creamy. It blends out perfectly, glides on to the skin. When you first open and use it, it feels a bit rubbery but you just have to work it in and then it softens. It's got a nice glow that will compliment other cream products like a cream high lighter or a cream blusher. It just works so well with my other make-up. If you hate the powdery, glittering bronzer look then this guy is for you. It's well worth the price because the amount of product you get is more than a years worth and I use this EVERYDAY. The only real let down for me was the size of the tube. It makes it harder to apply if you're going to a delicate look or if you want some precision when doing nose contour. It would be nice if they included a specialised device to help you apply with a bit more accuracy but I suppose you can always use a brush. Other than the less than practical size of the bronzer, it's a dope product. Also, I think the colour is really nice. It would be nice to get a deeper darker set of colours for dark skinned people too. Otherwise, I highly recommend this if you're a fan of cream products and want a natural, dewy make up look.

Faye

Worth the wait!

I'd heard so much about this bronzer on a recent trip to New York I tried to get my hands on it but the shade Baked was out of stock everywhere! I was so happy when Cult Beauty announced they'd be stocking Milk and was eager again to get my hands on this bronzer, alas it was awaiting stock! Finally it came it to stock and it was mine. I've literally used it everyday. So worth the hype!!

KV

So worth the buy!

This bronzer is a perfect shade, even for my very pale skin. It blends so well and doesn’t look cakey at all. I also like using it on my neck and chest for a quick bronze. I think there’s enough product to last me forever! But if I do I will most certainly be buying it again! 10/10 would recommend.

Shmi

Best bronzer

I have very fair skin and initially wanted to get 'Baked' but it was sold out so I bought 'Blaze' - works great, the colour is lovely on my skin with cool undertones used lightly, does not look orange at all.

Reina

The Best Bronzer Ever

This bronzer is honestly amazing, it blends out so well and adds this natural warmth to your face that powdered bronzers never did. I have also been getting compliments about my skin looking 'glowy' since I've started using it which is a plus!

Dana

Perfect shade!

I have really fair skin and baked is the perfect shade for a bronzer. It isn't too warm but not too cool toned. It blends like a dream and doesn't move the foundation. I like how it isn't too matte as it gives a healthy glow to the skin.

J

Looove

This bronzer is easy to slap on and blend out. The colour isn't too intense which I like.

Leahx

Amaaaaazing!

Creamy, perfect colour (I have the shade Baked and very fair skin) blends out like a dream, I just use a big fluffy brush. Lasts all day on my oily skin. So impressed!!!

Charlie

Love love love

I used to use the Nars Matte Multiples for cream bronzers in stick form, but they have gotten smaller and smaller and my shade was discontinued. So delighted to have found this one. I bought Baked. It’s very creamy and blends like a dream. I’m NC15 and it’s not too dark on me as you can build it up easily. Already on the wait-list to order another!

L

Milk bronzer

Love it, so creamy and easy to blend, wish they did it in a travel mini like my fave blusher Werk.

Connie

Milk bronzing stick

Great product, however, can be patchy.

Lucy

FAULTLESS!!

Blends amazingly, perfect colour, stays all day and the most convenient bronzer I've ever had! Make up bag must have!!

Heather

Milk makeup bronzer

Great product!

Anna

Milk bronzing stick

Love this! Great for lazy people with sensitive skin.

NicNac

Best creamy bronzer!

So creamy - easily to apply to face with a brush and blends in without disturbing my foundation. Got shade Baked as I'm light-medium skin-toned & want natural bronze shading for cheekbones & nose with no fake shimmer. Perfect for my dry skin - can't imagine using powder bronzer anymore. I use it daily, lasts all day but still loads left. My best buy of 2019!

Ruthie

Best Bronzer ever!

I heard lots of positive reviews about this product and couldn't wait to try it for myself when it came back into stock. It is a great, easy to use and quality product. Fantastic value for money as well as you get so much product. This bronzer is really easy to blend and is a lovely colour, not too warm. Would highly recommend! I'm looking forward to trying more Milk Makeup!

Ree

Amazing!!!

Best cream bronzer on the market!! I've tried nearly everything and this is the best by far. Melts into the skin like butter, LOVE IT!!

bronzevernis

Love it so much I have both

I have both shades. I initially bought Blaze as Baked was out of stock (for ages) and was surprised how well it works for light-medium skin tones. It has a redder undertone which mimics that day-in-the-sun look really well. So easy and effortless to blend and looks good on the lids too. Baked is also good - warmer in tone but is also flattering on lighter skin tones. There is a smell difference between both though. Blaze smells like wax crayons whereas Baked is almost odourless. I notice the packaging is a bit different with Baked (bought 2 weeks ago) compared to Blaze (bought a couple of months ago). Both will last years because its a whopping generous amount of product which is brilliant value for money. Love the stick formula - it's coming on holiday with me next week - no bronzing powder that can get smashed in transit and not a liquid for the purposes of hand luggage restrictions at airports. It's a winning product!

Kate

Sun-kissed skin

I love this product. It’s the first thing from Milk that I’ve tried & won’t be the last. I love it on bare skin. If you use your fingers to blend it works best I think. Or pat your brush onto the product and work it into the skin if applying over foundation. Worried about using this product every day as it’s always out of stock and I don’t want to run out! Love it.

Bronzed babe

So, so good

Yet another great product from Milk. Can be used as a bronzer as well as contour, love their packaging concept and you get so much of the product, which will make it last very long, so good value for money. I give it 4 out of 5 just because the packaging was somewhat faulty, but I have not experienced that issue with other Milk products.

Lulu

So wanted to love it!

Such a shame! Usually love Milk products but this was a bit of a flop. Component doesn't feel well made at all--the makeup sticks easily to the little lid and makes it difficult to remove and is messy. The full lid doesn't twist on correctly; actually, the whole mechanism doesn't twist properly when I'm trying to get product out, it makes a squeaky noise and I have to physically push the makeup back into the component when I'm done because it doesn't twist down. Once again...Messy. The makeup itself is not great. I went for the lighter shade because I am very fair but saw in their videos lighter skinned people using the baked shade and were able to blend it out to perfection. Unfortunately I have not found this to be the case. It is too warm for me (not exactly the makeup's fault but still) but the blendability that was promised to get it to a nice subtle finish is non existent. It looks patchy and streaky on the skin when blended as well as looking straight up like dirt. It almost feels like it needs some more coconut oil in it or something...just something to make it work and blend out a little more effectively. Wanted to love this because I've loved almost everything else I've had from Milk before but yeah. For a painful £20 this was a disaster. I will continue to try and make it work because that's a high price point and I hate to think I've wasted my money. But yeah. Can't help but wish I'd stayed away from this one.

George

Worth the money!

Took a real risk ordering this product as I’m really pale and worried it would be too dark, but it’s very natural and creates a warm glow though it’s very buildable too. Lovely and creamy, and so much in the stick it will last you ages! So actually really good value for money... can’t wait to try the cream blush next!

Cems

Amazing quality

Very easy to apply and blend! Love the colour of it as well. Looks like it’ll take ages before I can use it up. So I’d highly recommend this bronzer.

Elizabeth

Nice formula

Lovely formula for a bronzer as it melts on to your skin I got Baked which is still pretty dark for medium-fair skin. Requires me to blend in with a brush or fingertips. Like the matte finish.

Francesca

The hype is real

One of the few instances where the hype around a product is actually justified. I am fair skinned with yellow undertones and so I got the shade Baked. I think this product is more intense than a bronzer I would normally pick for my skin tone, and so it sort of doubles up as a contour. However the undertone is so spot on and natural that it's almost like if a bronzer and a contour product had a baby, resulting in a product that helps to define your bone structure and slightly warm up your complexion at the same time in the most natural way. It is so versatile as well: I use it not only for the perimeter of my face but also to make my lips look bigger by lightly shading my lower lip line, and to elongate my eyes by applying it from the outer corner of my eyes towards my temple. The product blends so nicely and very very quickly so it's ideal for different uses. I wouldn't say it smells like playdoh, rather like coconut. Anyway, I recommend this 100%!

Elise

Nice!

Really like this product. I don't usually wear bronzer, but I really wanted to try Milk, and the rave reviews suggested this was a good place to start. Perfect colour, lovely creamy formula. It does blend really well, but I'd suggest using a brush if you're just starting out and are a bit afraid of it (no-one wants the contoured pumpkin look, despite what walking around Essex would have you believe). Just warm the product onto your hand, then pick it up with a brush and diffuse along the high points of the face. Works best on really moisturised skin, especially if you're going for the 'glass' look.

EmFlo

So good for pale humans!

I have proper pale skin, pretty oily, and this amazing, blendable bronzer warms me right up and stays all day... Love!

LS

Well

I bought the shade Blaze after watching numerous reviews (I'm of mixed heritage so need it a bit darker). Anyway at first I hated it, it dragged my foundation away when tried blending with beauty blender and it felt muddy. However, I persisted with using it and instead used a foundation buffing type of brush and i actually love it. I can use it to contour but also bronze and I must say my face looks snatched when I use. It's so much product as well so I feel as if it'll last ages. So yeah, just takes a bit of work to look amazing!

Gem

Amazing bronzer

I highly recommend this bronzer. It blends like a dream.

MB

Great cream bronzer

Very flattering shade (I have the lighter one!), easy to blend out and very natural looking! Love the packaging as well - mess free and easy to travel with!

Olivia

So easy to use

This is the first cream bronzer I have tried and it is brilliant. Application is really easy - the domed shape works well across the tops of cheekbones and in the hollows. It spreads evenly and is easy to blend but is not sticky. I have light skin with neutral / olive undertones and "baked" works well.

Kim

Can’t fault it.

I’d never tried a cream bronzer before but this one is the perfect colour and it’s so easy to use. It blends like a dream, I can swipe it on from the stick and then blend out with a brush without it disrupting my foundation. I’m an absolute convert and use nothing else now. Would definitely buy again!

Gee

Lovely product, amazing price!

A real standout product - it has transformed my make up routine. I would warn though that the product is a tad orangey which you can expect from a bronzer so a little goes a long way and it’s better to apply little at first and then build up the product to achieve your desired result especially for women like myself with a paler complexion. Lovely for when I fake tan as I can build the product up! Really good price for the amount of product you get. Would definitely recommend!

Emz

THE best cream bronzer!

Has gone straight into my daily routine & can’t see it not being ever. So easy to apply, blends like a dream, beautiful colour, looks great with minimal makeup or full coverage, lasts well, great size and packaging for travel. Literally cannot say enough good things about it!

SophLA

Perfect and natural

I'm really fair so was very worried when this arrived at my door but I love it, it blends so well and it looks so natural and beautiful on the skin. I particularly like it on my bare skin when I'm having a run out the door situation. For me, the only downside is that because it blends out a lot I find it doesn't show up the best when I'm doing full glam, I normally have to add a powder bronzer too once I've set my face but it's not a big problem. Love it all in all.

Mira

Holy grail

Well it looks like I’m never returning to powder bronzers. This is my first cream bronzer and it’s such a game changer. Whilst it is matte and has no glitter or shimmer, this still manages to make my skin look so healthy and glowing. I have textured, oily skin and tend to get spots but I love this so much. I’m an NW20 in MAC foundation and when I received this (I got the shade Baked) I was worried it was too dark, but it blends beautifully, is subtle but buildable if you want a more intense look. You get so much product compared to other stick products (this is £20.50 for 28g vs Fenty Match Stix which are £21 for 7.10g). Can’t recommend enough, this is the only bronzer I’ll use from now on.

Emma Mc

Milk bronzer

I have been patiently waiting on milk to make it to the UK specifically for this product and it didn't disappoint. Buttery smooth consistency and the perfect cool tone. Perfect for a quick contour or if you want to just add a splash of natural colour to your cheeks this is perfect. Seems expensive for a bronzer but you get so much product so definitely will last a long time. Now patiently waiting for the sunshine skin tint to get here and no doubt will add another one to the wish list. If you are in doubt just buy you won't regret 5 stars.

SR

Cannot wait to use it in summer!

Gorgeous, creamy easy to use bronzer! I cannot wait to use this even more in summer for that glow!

Pink panther

Where have you been all my life?

I cannot even tell you how much I’m loving this... but I’m going to try otherwise it would be a short and pointless review. I bought this two weeks ago and I have used it every day since. I bought the lighter shade and it blends seamlessly on my NC25 (30 when tanned) skin. I use it as a bronzer/contour on my cheeks and then up around the perimeter of my face and forehead. It isn’t too warm or too cool, it would be Goldilocks approved if she liked a cream bronzer. For the price, you get a massive amount and I am pleasurably anticipating a long and happy relationship with my current one. When I apply, I dab it rather than swipe it and it’s seems to blend more naturally that way. I then gently dab my IT cosmetics #7 brush over it to buff it out. It doesn’t move my foundation and gives a warm radiance to my skin. I have reactive skin and after two weeks there’s no sign that my face is about to throw a hissy fit... hallelujah! In case you can’t tell, I definitely recommend this product. I also love the blushes in this line. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

Marie58

Love, love, love

I saw the Milk products recently in a video with the founder of Milk and Sarah Jossel of the Sunday Times and liked the look of them, so I bought the highlighter and absolutely loved it. It is so subtle and easy to apply. I loved it so much I came back and bought the blush. Loved that too (in Werk) soooooo came back again and bought the bronzer. It gives such a pretty, warm glow to the face which in the summer months I'll amp up to a full on tan. These products are just the best!

tracyh

Milk Baked Bronzer

Nice colour, easy to apply. Pleased with this Milk product and the Perk blush stick I bought.

Eli

Not my cup of tea

I choose the dark shade, but you can barely see it and I'm medium skin tone. All pores stand out after the application and its smells like playdoh. I'm so sorry milk makeup.

Jen

Blaze

Like the Lip + Cheek stick Werk I purchased, I tested it for a few days before giving my opinion. Initially I felt let down I thought it wouldn’t be as sticky, maybe more moist? But I really wanted to love it and mixed it with the Milk Hydrating Oil. It’s the best!!! Milk products are very versatile - you can use it like a foundation, or you can just contour. You can also use it as an eye shadow; just smear a little with your fingers and it looks gorgeous. It’s dewy and you look fresh and flawless. I can’t recommend this enough.

Bizzarebird

This was a considered purchase...

I was so unsure about this as a mature lady i wanted to try a creme bronzer but i am very fair skinned that doesn’t tan. I bite the bullet and ordered this and it’s blown my mind, in baked the lightest it’s perfect. Applied straight into skin and bugged out it’s brilliant and so much easier than powder bronzer. This works well over primer too just to give a flush of colour it’s going to be amazing over the summer month! totally a holy grail product and for the cost it’s brilliant!

Em

Nice and easy to use

Really like this bronzer. You can building it up to whatever intensify the colour. It blends out really well too. ALSO I use it on my eye lids to add some warmth when I cant be bothered to add eyeshadow. ( a great tip from the Milk Makeup Instagram).

B

Great all around

Easy to use and great colour.

Daisy

Disappointing

Can't believe how difficult this cream stick is to blend. Really dry formula, blends out eventually but so patchy. So disappointing for the price!

m

BEST CREAM BRONZER EVER

This bronzer is the best natural glowing bronzer without shimmer. It gives such a natural tan, airbrushes the skin and is quick to apply. The best cream bronze ever!
