Nyx Blush

Use a beauty blender or your fingers to smoothly blend NYX cream blush into the cheeks for a beautiful finish.  

To get started, tap your beauty blender or fingers into the blush color you've chosen, picking up a small amount to apply to the face. Dab the fingers or your beauty blender on the apples of the cheeks to test the color, then begin using an upward, swirling motion to build color and make your skin appear warm and lifted. 

For deeper color, repeat the number of applications using a small amount of product each time, since this allows you to build color until you achieve your perfect look. 

If you add too much blush, just use makeup remover towelettes to remove the product and start over quickly. 

You can easily apply NYX blush in taupe if it's a powder by using your favorite blush brush. Tap and swirl your brush into the NYX powder blush to load the brush evenly with the product.  

Then, starting at the apple of your cheeks, brush upward and outward toward the temples for a lifted look. For a bolder taupe tone, repeat the application a few times to get a color payoff that stands out. For a more natural look, a single pass with the blush brush adds a warm, even glow to your cheeks.  

Since taupe is a warm bronze tone, consider using it along the sides of the temple, on the forehead and on the sides of the nose as a bronzer to give yourself a healthy glow. 

NYX doesn't have a shimmery powder blush, but it does have the Away We Glow liquid booster that adds an illuminating highlight to your complexion, creating a sun-kissed tint to your skin. 

For a glow without as bold of a shimmer, you can try the Sweet Cheeks creamy powder glow blush, which adds an illuminating, glowy finish to your makeup. Placing these artist-inspired tones on the top of the cheekbones helps them pop and shine in the sun or under any kind of lighting.
