NYX Blush in Taupe

NYX Blush in Taupe
PHP 280 from Digital Traincase

I've heard lots about this blush from NYX but never really thought about purchasing it until I saw Claire Marshall's Highlight and Contour video on YouTube. Since it looked amazing on her and it's cheap I went ahead and got it! It's the bronzer I've been using a lot lately to lightly contour my face and I've been really liking how it looks.

This shade is a great bronzer for girls with a light to medium skin tone, it's unlike any of my other bronzers and I do notice a gray undertone to this shade. It gives justice to the name "taupe" and has a matte finish.

Bottom: blended out

- Pros: It's simple yet pretty; it's easy to bring around because it's small and light, easy to use when you're out because you don't need a brush to apply it, all you need are your fingers
- Cons: Leaves you with dirty fingers; it's not stackable because of the dome shaped lid

Tips / Comments:
- If you have somewhat oily skin/don't like the look of creamy blushes/perspire easily then it will be best if you set translucent powder over your cheeks after applying this product
- As a cheek product, these are great for people with dry skin
- As a lip product, I recommend these to everyone. They're pigmented, moisturizing and they last pretty long
- If you're the type who's always on the go then this product is for you!
- This will definitely find a home in my handbag 
- Get them before they run out!
