Milani Amore Satin Matte Review

If you’re looking for affordable drugstore lipsticks for black skin, look no further than the Milani Amore Satin Matte lip creme.

This was only my second time buying Milani cosmetics. Years ago, a Sephora saleswoman sold me a beautiful purple lipstick that I still have to this day (is that bad?). However, since then, I have largely ignored this brand.

But, this time – because I was bored of purchasing the usual suspects, I decided to give Milani a go once again.

I’d be lying if I told you that the sleek gold packaging didn’t call out to me as I walked by.

I purchased two lipsticks – Amore Satin Matte in Fancy (03) and Plush (04).

Both lip cremes are pink. Fancy is a softer pink that can almost resemble peach. It’s slightly darker than a ballet slipper pink, but is equally as beautiful.

Meanwhile, Plush has a pinkish-purplish hue. Both are amazing in person.

How Does It Feel?

The consistency is a bit runny, which I did not like. So, after using the applicator to apply this creme, I found myself using my fingers to pat the product on my lips.

It’s also important that you line your lips so that they look more defined. Without a liner, it could look at bit messy.

I ended up adding a gloss as a top coat just to make the product pop. I know it’s supposed to be worn with a matte finish, but I found it looked better with a gloss. Other people agreed.

The lip creme wasn’t dry, but it wasn’t moisturising either. It was in the middle.

The Milani Amore Satin Matte lip cremes cost around $7 each, which is far less than other expensive brands. The packaging felt luxe and was easy to open.

I love that there is a lot of product in each container. Each tube has 0.22 oz/6.6 ml. So, I know that they will last a long time.

I did a full review on my YouTube page. I have included the video down below. Be sure to watch it to see how the final looks turned out.
