Love these! Pigmented, good color range, blend out to perfection and you get 4 grams for $6! The best! ;)

I have these in “Taupe” and “Expresso”… To be honest, I don’t think these really need to be reviewed because so many people have said so many great things about these, but I’ll put my two scents in, just because I like to give credit where it’s due… So as everyone probably knows, the color “Taupe” is amazing for contouring for those with a light complexion. I would say that ...read moreif you are not over NC/NW 20, then you would be able to use this for contouring. Those with darker skin tones might find it difficult to get this blush to show up on their skin. “Taupe” is a light, cool toned brown, completely matte and in my opinion, totally blows “Kevin Aucoin” out of the water, especially when you factor in the price… You just can’t find better. “Expresso”, unlike the name would suggest, is not a dark brown/coffee colored blush – it’s more of a dark, peach color that looks very natural on the cheeks and would suite many different looks. I really find that color to be universally flattering. It’s also a matte. By the way, I think the fact that these come in about 30 different shades with a good mattes to shimmers ratio is amazing enough on its own! ;) So these are very smooth in texture, have very good pigmentation, are slightly powdery but not enough for it to be a problem and they stay put all day. So unless you have oily skin and you blot many times a day, you will love these blushes. I think that for oily skin, cheek stain are the way to go either way – it’s just so much more practical than having to reapply your blush throughout the day. If you are on a fence about these – go for it, because you’ve got nothing to lose for the price. You get 4 grams of product by the way. Just make sure to check out some swatches online because the pictures on the website can be misleading sometimes due to different screen settings and resolutions.

Hmmm.....

Love the selection of the colors but I hardly ever reach for this. Color is pretty pigmented but it's not easily blendable in my opinion. It left my cheeks really blotchy and just didn't look like a natural flush on my skin. Not flattering at all.

Nice pigmentation

These blushes are so pigmented that a little bit goes a long way! They will definitely last for awhile. Very affordable, great value for the price! I will be purchasing more :)

Pigmented

These are great! True pigments and the color hangs around all day! Looks natural and they're a great dupe for MAC & Nars with some of the colors.

Colors Galore

I am impressed with their selection of shades as they have a range from cool to warmer blushes. Some of them are definitely versatile to use as bronzers. The pigments are deep so you get great quality for a low price. I wear my NYX blushes to work and see that during mid day, the color payoff is still good. After eight hours, my oily skin makes makeup upkeep challenging but the blush, while no...read morew dewy, is still quite apparent. The only star I have left off is because of the packaging. I definitely would like something a bit sturdier as when they have been in my makeup bag being mixed around the other things, the clear part of the lid has separated from the lid closure in a couple of my blushes.

Great pigmentation

I was very impressed with these blushes, I liked them better than the baked blushes. They have great pigmentation and a little goes a long way. Great colors, great price, great buy!
