The brand new Milani Cosmetics Haute Flash Lipgloss Collection is so bright and bold that I am completely in love. There is a nice mix of something for everyone within the collection as well, including shades for darker complexions and very fair complexions. Each lipgloss has insane pigmentation and shimmer, and the formula is completely non-sticky and not gritty at all. Formula wise, these are great shimmer lipglosses if you’re looking for full coverage color and something that doesn’t feel like sand on your lips! To see every color in this collection and plenty of swatches,
I love how bright and bold all of the colors are, and when light hits the packaging, you see a brilliant glow of shimmer. I have a major problem with a lot of shimmer lipglosses because they feel super gritty and sticky, but these are perfectly smooth and moisturizing. I really, really love the formula on these, and I was very impressed. Each lip gloss comes with a flat, two-sided applicator wand instead of your typical doe-foot applicator, which I also really like because it allows you to be precise when applying the rich color.
Quick Flash is a shimmering baby pink shade. This shade is perfect for all complexions, but will really look beautiful on fair skin tones because it is so light.
Golden Flash is exactly as it implies, a golden-taupe shimmer lip gloss. This is the perfect shade for medium-tan to dark skin tones because it will mimic that light-reflecting natural shade that darker skin tones have.
Flashy is a hot fuchsia pink shimmer. This one is my favorite because it is so bold. I don’t even know what to say except that this is a universally flattering shade, and it is absolutely stunning. I will be wearing this shade a lot this spring and summer!
In A Flash is a dark wine plum with massive amounts of blue and violet shimmer in it. Another really bold, really gorgeous shade that I think will work beautifully on darker complexions.
Hot Flash is a bright ruby red with loads of shimmer and sparkle to it. My second favorite in the collection, this one is super glamorous and classic.
And so you can see every shade next to each other, I swatched them all on my hand. The first photograph is in natural light with no flash and the second photograph is with flash so you can see the shimmer.
Overall: I really, really admire that Milani Cosmetics was able to create a collection of highly pigmented shimmer lipglosses that appeals to every skin tone. There is something for everyone here, whether you prefer light shimmering lip gloss or bold, bright red lips.
