Milk Makeup is a well-loved brand known for its vegan and cruelty-free products. Customers especially love the blushes, contour sticks, and the Hydro Grip primer. However, some customers have found the Kush mascara and skincare line to be less effective, and some products, such as the blush/bronzer sticks, have been reported to dry out quickly.

Oh yes!! Come on u know there good… tithe sculpt stick is what I love… primer!! Come on!! I love how smooth is the stick. Is little but u just need a bit

The Milk Makeup Primer Grip is a game-changer in my makeup routine. Its gripping formula ensures that my makeup stays put all day, providing a flawless base that enhances the longevity of my foundation and other products. It feels light on the skin and doesn't leave any sticky residue, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. The primer also helps to smooth out my complexion, creating the perfect canvas for makeup application

I tried their famous lip + cheek blush and I'm in love!! Smooth consistency that makes it easy to use. Perfect for 'clean girl makeup' look. The only minus is the small packaging for its price.

I love the new jelly blush! It does everything it says and provides as little or as much pigment as you want so really you can’t go wrong! I’m fair skinned and got the darkest tone but I think it’s so pretty!!!! Plus the price is amazing AND it’s gonna last forever 

I LOVE EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT THAT MILK MAKEUP HAS EVER RELEASED. Follow my tiktok @maddiediaries to see me try out this products and more like it. 

I just purchased the Milk Makeup Kush Brow Shadow Stick in the color Brush - and Wow! I don't have time to use a pencil like applicator. It's time consuming and my left brow always looks better than the right because I am left handed. 

This application works for me as it has like a lipstick like edge to draw your brow. Goes on smooth and in 1-2 strokes. Highly recommend if you like a quick no fuss application. Definitely try it. Oh, and it is affordable in this crazy expensive world!  XO

Also love who they are:

I was gifted the milk blush from a friend when I began my makeup journey and I liked it because it wasn’t too pigmented and allowed me to learn how much blush I should use. As I have been doing my makeup for a couple years now, I look for more pigmented blushes!

Absolutely love my milk, lip balm. It is amazing. It makes my lips feel luscious and taste delicious.

I have had some Milk Makeup products that have done really well like the primers and cream blushes. But other products like the highlighter is like putting grease on my cheekbones. I can agree with some other reviews how the brand can be inconsistent. I would just read reviews on the specific product you are looking at and also knowing your skin type and texture and what works for you.

Love this brand!!! I had the blush/lip stick and I used it so much. The color was so cute and it was great for easy summer makeup. I’ve also used the primer 

If you’re on the hunt for a primer that locks in your makeup, keeps your skin hydrated, and gives you that flawless, long-lasting finish, the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer is my go to!

Definitely had their moment as a brand but I do love their concealer. I don't often use primer but I've heard raving reviews about the Hydro Grip. The Kush mascara is phenomenal as well-- I've been meaning to repurchase!

It’s meh. Maybe it works for you, but it didn’t work for me. 

I feel like this brand is over marketed and high price for what it is. The hydro grip primer was fine, but I’ve used better for less money and more money. It’s just not special IMO. Also tried the Sunshine Skin Tint - also over marketed. It was terrible. Was patchy, uneven and streaky on my face. Blended with a sponge and a brush and it just moved all around and stuck to what I was applying it to. Not worth it. I feel like this is the same as elf products but are just marketed well and more expensive packaging. 

I would love for you guys to change the scent or dial down the aroma that comes from the Hydro Grip primer.

I haven't tried "Milk Makeup" but I have tried their primer before. My thoughts on the Hydro Grip primer is that is works flawlessly on the skin and it leaves my makeup looking very snatched. The only con, I have about this product it that the scent isn't very lovely. The scent, pretty much smells like a strong chemical scent but not to the point of concern.

I tried the milk lip + cheek product and it’s my go to product; I love the way it looks on me, lightweight and beautiful. I have the mini version as a go to for me that I can when needed. 
I’ve also tried their primer and it’s my holy grail, my favourite. It les es the skin looks flawless and glowy 
Finally, i also tried the mini mascara & highlighter . I never go out without it! I love the final result it gives to my make up. 
I’m an absolute lover 

I have their 2in1 Lip + Cheek Cream Blush Stick in shade dusty rose. It blends really well, and is a very buildable product. Unfortunately I don't really like the way it smells, so I tend to find myself picking up my normal blush instead of this. I do use it under my normal blush sometimes, if I want more pigment and my makeup to last longer! 
very natural finish!

MILK bronzer stick
After a long decision making, because of the price of the MILK make up products, I decided to buy the MILK MAKEUP MATTE BRONZER stick. Imagine my disappointment when the stick melted in front of my eyes because it was 22 degrees Celsius outside… The stick is completely useless to me now - if I try to apply it on my face it is chunky and impossible to blend. I’m not sure if I’ll ever buy anything else from MILK and I strongly recommend not to use their products in the summer.

Pros:
Milk deserves five stars even if their packaging can suck at times. As someone whose hobby is trying out makeup, I really am picky about the products I like. I'm like Goldilocks. I'll try it all. Milk's hydrogrip primer is amazing. It really does help makeup stay on for hours. Not just a few hours, but all day. I know there are dupes but they don't have the lasting power of the Hydrogrip. 

I love the Kush eyebrow gel. Actually I can't remember if it's considered a gel, but that's besides the point. I find that the small brush allows for me to maneuver through my eyebrows without having to worry about getting the color all over my face. 

Cons:
I do love the contour and the Rally blush but with that said, when I ordered them, I was expecting full size products. Well, between the time I bought the blush and getting a replacement, it looked as if someone shrunk the cream products to a trial size. The other thing that is not awesome is that when I pull off the protective plastic shield from the cream stick products, the tops of the products comes off. Every. Single. Time. With that said, there is still a lot of product left to use even if the top comes. I have been trying to not waste my blush though, so I've been working my way through what's popped off before I start using the stick. 

I guess you need to pick and choose your battles, unfortunately. I am not annoyed enough to stop buying the products but I know that it will bother others. 

I have only a cream stick blush. Colour and texture is fabulous but it feels very scented. 
It is a lip and cheek product but I literally can’t make myself wear it just because the scent bothers me. The colour is actually really nice on the cheek but also on the lips. (It’s usually either or for me. And this tone just works perfect on my medium tanned skin.)
I guess the additional perfume in this product is not my type and it prevented me to be keen on trying the other stuff from the brand.
