Hello ladies,
Mostly we see that some make-up enthusiasts harbor the love for lipsticks, while others go bananas over blushes and yet others swoon at the sight of eye makeup. Yours truly loves lipsticks. But there was one cosmetic from which I steered clear always! BLUSH. Period! Now there are countless reasons for the same, which if I begin listing, you would need a bed, a good stock of snacks and a pillow to relieve the backache from staring at the screen for too long ;)
So cutting them short, I have zeroed in ONE ultimate reason: I absolutely hated the artificial pink cheeks look which screamed “Hey-look-I-have-makeup-on” and always found the ladies which pink shimmery cheeks very unapproachable :P Also, when I was younger, I used to wonder about the logic of applying blush. Now come on, we don’t naturally blush the whole day, do we?
But that was before I came across a few articles of some European bloggers who claimed that the use of the right blush actually gave that much required “lift” to the complexion. But then again, I was skeptical because although I saw the wonderful effect on those pale skinned beauties and did a whole lot of good for their sallow skin, I wondered how to achieve that effect on my predominantly yellow skin. Finally I took the plunge and bought the NYX blush in Dusty Rose from a very good friend of mine who was wonderful enough to sell this beauty to me (Apoorva, if I had been in your place, I would have never been able to part with this! :*)
Warning: This is a picture-heavy post ;)

Packaging: Pretty functional black plastic container with clear lid. It can be flimsy because mine broke in transit although she had packed it properly with bubble-wrap :’( Thank goodness the shape of the blush was not altered!

My take:
It takes a lot to convert a blush-phobic into a blush-lover! NYX Dusty Rose made me a convert because this particular shade is THE perfect matte warm pink blush that anyone would die for!

Shade: Warm light pink. It would suit fair-medium complexion.
Finish: No shimmers. Matte but not chalky at all.
Texture: Silky and satiny. Blends like a dream.
Pigmentation: Jaw-dropping! The swatch is single swipe.
Staying power: stays for 4-5 hours on me without any primer or foundation beneath. I usually moisturize my face and pat a little blush on the apple of my cheeks. With a foundation or primer underneath I am sure this would last longer.

I cannot stop “blushing” about this blush ^_^ Apoorva, I owe you this! Thank you So much! It feels like silk literally! Such a quality product with an affordable price tag! What else could anyone ask for! :D I have finally found the perfect blush for myself which does not make me look “made-up” (Please note that the FOTD is taken with heavy application of the blush. Otherwise it was not showing up in the pictures). And the huge quantity provided would last me a lifetime! ;)

The only dislikes for this would be:
> Availability is a huge issue. NYX products are not easily available in Indian online sites and even if they are, they are price at Rs.650 which is almost double of the original cost of these blushes :-/
> This particular shade might not show up in deeper complexions like NC-42 and above in MAC shade card.
Pigmentation: 10/10
Texture: 10/10
Staying power: 9/10
Overall: 9.9/10
