NYX Powder Blushes

Lady Cavanagh first got into NYX blushes about a year ago and hasn't looked back since!  In terms of size, you get 5.2g (0.18oz) of product.  By comparison, Mac blushes have 6g (0.21oz) and Nars have 4.5g (0.16oz).

The consistency is quite powdery so it works better if you tap rather swirl your brush in them when you pick up colour. Swirling tends to unsettle the powder and you ended up wasting product as it falls all over the container.

The colour rage of NYX powder blushes is huge.  When picking one (or several) that are right for you I think it comes down to choosing colour/s that you're really going to enjoy putting on your face.  Don't feel put off if you've already got a ruddy complexion and think a blush will make you look like a clown - blushes can work on anybody!


Natural (07) - if you have light skin this is a very easy 'go to' colour - you can put on some with bronzer for more of a make-up free look or layer it up for more a flushed look.   'Natural' has been compared to Benefit's 'Throbb' which is a failry accurate comparison, although 'Throbb' is more of a baby pink.  Matches nicely with NYX cream blush in 'Natural'.

(Top row): Natural and Pinched.
(Bottom row): Peach and Pinky

Peach  (06) - More of a pink that a 'peach' tone when you look at it in the pan.  When you blend it out on your cheeks it warms up a bit and looks great when layered. Natural and Peach look very similar in the pan but quite different when on your face.


Pinched (25) - Has been called a dupe of Nars' Orgasm which is does a bit when in the pan but it doesn't have as much gold in it.

(L-R): 05 - Pinky, 06 - Peach, 07 - Natural, 25 - Pinched

Pinky (05) - Can look a bit scary in the pan but if applied sparingly and blended out it can look gorgeous.  Perfect for nights out or days at work when you want to look a bit more 'made-up'.  Pair with NYX cream blush in 'Hot Pink' for a look that really pops!
