Brand: NYX Cosmetics

Shade: Pink Poppy

Ideal for:

1.    Fair to medium skin tones
2.    Dry skin types

Deserved Rating:

1.    Packaging:
3.5 /5 – Cute but unhygienic as rubbing it again and again on the skin can cause bacteria buildup on the product especially on days when you have bad skin like acne etc.
2.    Texture:
4.5/5 – Nice creamy texture that goes on smoothly on the skin and blends well as well.
3.    Lasting Power:
3/5 – Starts fading in 2 hours and totally gone by 4 to 5 hours on my combination skin.
4.    Shade Color:
4.5/5 – Nice shade with pink undertones and slight like almost invisible hues of shimmer.
5.    Overall Rating:
3.8/5 – Not something so amazing! Shade is nice and the texture is rich but disappointing lasting ability and unhygienic packaging!

Do I recommend it?

Yes, but with limitations. Not for oily skin ladies at all!

Why do I commend it?

I recommend it because it is good for people with dry or super dry skin types because it has a creamy-ish texture that can give the flushed kind of look to your cheeks. Nothing more! Cannot comment on the lasting ability on girls with dry skin but on my dry/combination skin it didn’t last for more than 2 hours literally. Just imagine the lasting power on people with oily skin types! Also it has mineral oil as first ingredient which is not an ideal situation for oily skin girlies. Overall it is kind of ok! What I do now is that I put it first and then dust my powder blush on top. Don’t know what it does but yeah it looks nice because my powder blush is nice. That’s all I can say as of now!

Why is it a hit?

•     Good for dry skin
•     Nice shade range
•     Pigmented

Why is it a miss?

•     Does not last for more than 2 hours
•     Not for oily skin
•     Unhygienic packaging

Beware!

•     If your skin is combination – oily
•     If you want a blush that lasts
•     If you are not a fan of creamy blushes
•     If you are particular about hygiene

Brace it with:

•     Any makeup look you want
•     Powder blush on top of it
•     Powder foundations
