NYX Powder Blush in Peach Swatches

Since I started with my first NYX Powder Blush, I have been wanting to try more shades not only because they have amazing quality, but they are also very affordable. Some of the local blushes cost more but cannot equal the color payoff and staying power of this blush.

The shade is in Peach, but the shade is more pink than peach actually. The swatches online look a lot different than in person, but the image below is the closest to the actual color of the blush. It's a lovely shade for everyday makeup if you're fair skinned as it creates a natural healthy flush in color on the cheeks.

Shade info and ingredients

This is how the actual shade looks like

First Impression:

• Amazing pigmentation
• Easy to apply and blend
• Very pretty color 
• Incredible staying power

Below is a photo of me wearing this blush on my cousin's wedding last week. I love the color, and it stayed on for more than 7hrs. It's an amazing color because it's so versatile and looks very natural. I did my own makeup, and I was pretty excited to use quite a few new makeup products which I will post soon. I didn't have a foundation that's flash photography friendly, but the makeup looked decent in person. Just a small flash back because of the SPF, but I think it looks okay! The blush looks great and matched the makeup well :D.

Wearing NYX Powder Blush in Peach

I have only used this blush twice, but so far I'm very happy with it. I'll wear it more this week and write a review soon, so do check it out if you're interested to know more about this blush, which is another must have in my opinion.

NYX Powder Blush Angel

Hello everyone! This is another NYX Powder Blush Review, and it's on the shade Angel. I have been obsessing with blushes lately, and I have a few more to share with you this week (hopefully). I wanted to spend more time on my blog, and do some more product reviews, but I just can't find time to do it, for now at least.

I wouldn't talk about the packaging anymore because it's just the same as Silky Rose. If you want to check out my review and swatches of this very pretty blush, kindly click on the link :). Ingredients are listed below if you want to know what's in the product. 

NYX Powder Blush Ingredients 

When I first got it, I was a little worried because it doesn't look as close as the swatches on blogs, where it appears as muted mauvey pink. From the pan, I would describe the shade as a light peachy blush, which would show up nicely on very fair skin, so I thought I could still use it but as a highlight instead. When I started swatching I was surprised when the color showed as bright rose-pink with a lovely satin-y sheen to it (not shimmer). I read on other reviews saying that this is shimmery, but I disagree. If you look closer, it appears as if it has micro-shimmers, but it doesn't appear like that on the skin at all.

This blush gives a gorgeous glow on the face that I really love. If you're considering this blush, do some more research and look for different swatches to get an idea of what the color looks like. I took quite a few photos to get the closest color to what you see on the pan. Now see how the blushes look like they are two different shades when they are just the same. Most of the swatches I have seen on blogs appear like the mauvey one, and the peachy one is actually the closest color from the pan. What it looks like when swatched is another story.

On the swatch, you can see that the color is a very pretty bright pink shade that will be flattering on fair skin. The sheen doesn't emphasize pores, which is a huge plus for me because I have oily skin, and I don't want my blush to sink into my pores, making them appear like I have craters on my face! If you do have enlarged pores, you can place this on the cheek bones instead, avoiding the apples, and it will look as great!

Same as the other nyx blush I have, this is velvety soft, smooth, and easy to blend. It's pigmented but doesn't take much work in blending because it's a light blush, so it's more forgiving. It's powdery and crumbly, which is quite typical for nyx blushes, but it doesn't bother me at all because the moment you blend it in; it just sits on the skin naturally.

Angle is a prefect everyday product if you're looking for a blush that doesn't over power the whole look. This will look better on fair skin with cool undertones. I'm a hybrid (neutral toned), so I can work with cool and warm tones sometimes :D. You can build it up if you have medium skin, and this can be used as a highlighter if you have a dark skin tone. This will show up even better, and last longer if you layer it with a pink or peachy (preferably) cream blush, to achieve that beautiful flush of color. It stays on for more than 7hrs on me. 

Overall, I adore this blush. The price can't be beat, and the quality is excellent. It's worth the try if you're looking for a blush that gives a fresh and natural look. 


My verdict: 5 STARS!!!

NYX Powder Blush in Silky Rose

I can't believe this is my first post for July! This has been a crazy month for me due to so many personal and work stuff. My June was also pretty insane, and I'm a little sad that I don't have as much time for my blog anymore. I have been meaning to review this blush because a few people have asked me how I find it already, but I only had the chance to do it today. I wish to be able to do more from this day forward.

NYX Powder Blush in Silky Rose

Anyway this is my review of the NYX Powder Blush in Silky Rose which I have been loving a LOT. I got it for P285, and it's worth every cent because it's highly pigmented, and long lasting! It comes in a clean black plastic packaging with 5.2 grams of product, which I think is a lot :). It will take me a while to hit pan with this blush, and that's a good thing.

Ingredients list

the shade looks intimidating but it's really pretty on the skin :)

What I love about this blush is the shade. It's a mauvey pink blush which brings the face a nice glow, and makes me look like I have been out in the cold. The color looks intimidating from the packaging and on the swatch, but it looks natural on the skin when applied with a very light hand because it's sheer. I love how concentrated this blush is so you only need a very little amount, especially if you have fair skin as it can look really dark. I literally have to pat my brush, and that's good for a single application. The problem I have with this though is it's very powdery, so I avoid using a powder blush and instead a stipple brush, where I'm able to control the color easier and not break the blush when swiping over the cake. Make sure to tap off any excess on the brush. 

   

NYX Powder Blush in Silky Rose Swatch - 3 swipes

Did I mention that this is matte? I'm mad about matte blushes because it just looks so natural, and it doesn't emphasize my pores :D. This blush is a breeze to blend because it's velvety soft, and the powder is fine. It's also easy to build up. Just apply a little at a time, instead of taking a whole lot and end up buffing it out. The shade will surely look good on every skin tone, and a great everyday blush as it doesn't make you look too made up. It can last for more than 6hrs, even longer when you're indoors with AC, which is just wonderful.

I have been reaching for this blush more often for almost a month now because I just love it so much. I was a little scared when I first saw the color from the packaging. I wasn't the shade I was expecting because the swatches on blogs appear lighter than the actual color. I'm glad that I got this shade because it's really my most favorite blush color as of the moment. I read that this is a similar shade as Dusty Rose so if you have it, you don't really need to get this one anymore :). It's also a close dupe of Nars Dolce Vita.

My verdict: 5 STARS!!! I recommend this blush to everyone. It's a good-quality blush for a very reasonable price, and so worth it.

NYX Powder Blush Swatches

I got this in the mail last Friday, and I was very excited to try them because these are my first NYX Blushes. I have always been eyeing these shades for a while because the shades are really pretty, and I've read a lot of positive reviews on these blushes. I want to get Pinched, Natural, and Pinky too soon when it becomes available. The shades I have are Angel and Silky Rose, which are both very pretty cheek colors.

NYX Powder Blush in Silky Rose and Angel

very lovely blush shades!

Silky Rose is a beautiful matte mauvey pink blush which I have been using almost everyday now! It's extremely pigmented and looks intimidating to use on fair skin, but if you apply it with a light hand, it creates a very natural flush of color like you've been out in the cold. 

Angel is a pale pink blush with a medium amount of sheen. This may not suit darker skin tones because the shade is very subtle. I was a little worried that it may not show on my skin because from the packaging, it looks really light. However, the moment I swatched it the color showed, and it's actually very pretty. The sheen doesn't really show up on the skin, instead it gives a healthy and glowing rosy cheek.
