OVERALL: 5/5

Bottom Line: This is my favorite drugstore blush formula – silky, non powdery, blendable, fantastic selection, pigmented, and lasts long.

Pigmentation – ( 5 / 5 ) These are more pigmented than Tarte and MAC blushes but less than La Femme making them slightly buildable yet perfect for WOC.

Shades – ( 5 / 5 ) The line  has 27 shades ranging from mattes to shimmers. Few drugstore brands carry mattes especially ones that are pigmented so this is much appreciated. The shades, however, are often mislabeled so definitely check for swatches before purchasing.

Texture – ( 4 / 5 ) They are on the powdery side but blend well and are soft. They can easily crack (see my NYX Pinky photo) and probably shatter if dropped.

Longevity – ( 5 / 5 ) These blushes last about 6-8 hours on me.

Packaging – ( 5 / 5 ) I love the classic black packaging with the quilted print. The name and numbers are on the back of the pan and there’s no added brush or mirror making it not bulky! It’s easy to see each color so that adds to the convenience of picking out which color to use.

Repurchase? Although difficult to find, definitely give NYX Blushes a try. Their shade selection is large and varied and preform like a high end blush.

1) Mocha (matte warm dusty rose pink)– A slightly muted version of Milani’s Mai Tai blush. It’s perfect for giving you rosy cheeks and I absolutely love these types shades on my NC30 skin tone. This is me with Mocha on my cheeks.

2) Pinky (matte cool pink)– If you love colors like MAC Dollymix and NARS Angelika then definitely give this a shot. I love it for a nice pink flush of color and don’t feel that the cool undertones are overwhelming.
