NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Buttermelt Powder Blush, Fade and Transfer-Resistant Blush, Up to 12HR Make Up Wear, Vegan Formula – U Know Butta

Not so sure about all the hype, but it’s ok
I had to jump on the bandwagon and try this blush everyone’s talking about. Never hurts to try something and return it if you don’t like it. I’ve only used it one time. Its smooth silky texture goes on super easy, and it doesn’t take much at all to add some color to your cheeks. As long as you apply your makeup correctly, it should last all day. I like the rectangular shape as opposed to the round ones, but the round ones are easier to carry without creating too much bulk in your bag. This one will def be bulkier. It kind of smells like cake, or something sweet anyway. I don’t think I’ve ever had a blush that didn’t smell like stinky chemicals. We’ve come a long way. It still has talc as top ingredient though, but it has some seed butters and oils mixed in as well. Probably what makes it feel so soft and silky. I may send it back though because of the talc. If that or the higher price for a drugstore brand product doesn’t bother you, then maybe you should jump on the bandwagon too. When it comes down to weighing the pros and cons, this product gets 3 out of 5 stars due to the ingredients, bulkiness and the higher price. It’s just blush.

Smells good and looks good!
This looks super pink. But it’s not THAT pink unless you layer it on. I was scared I’d look like a doll with two giant pink circles on my cheeks. Once you put it on it’s really vibrant, then it blends and looks lighter. I love it. It also smells good which is fun.

Best long lasting blushes!
These are the best affordable blushes ever! I followed a review here and tried applying shade 09 first, then 02. They can be a bit intense at first since they’re highly pigmented, but just use a small amount to start. I applied my makeup at 6 AM before work and took these pictures 10 hours later. Absolutely love them!

This blush is a stunning color, but…
Pros: long lasting, pigmented, a little goes a long way, gorgeous colorCons: I was expecting a matte since in all the promo pics it doesn’t show any shine whatsoever. It is so shimmery. I don’t think pics would even show how much. It doesn’t look good on my skin type. I most likely won’t use it much if at all. The hunt continues.

An absolutely truly AMAZING quality product. The price, the pigment, the color, just wow! When I say a little goes a long way I mean literally just ONE tap in the product is enough to cover both your cheeks and then some. I made the mistake of dipping in the product as I did with my previous blush and I looked like a sunburnt clown and actually had to remove all my makeup and start from scratch. Seriously, a little goes a LONG way!!! My only complaint is the compact is incredibly difficult to open.. maybe it’s just the batch I got but it took two firm hands, a bit of elbow grease and a science degree to open but it’s entirely worth the struggle to get to the goods that lay inside. Cannot recommend enough!

Great blush, blends very well but be careful as it’s very pigmented! I also made the mistake of choosing a shade too dark, but if you pick the right color it’s a lovely product
