NYC Cinnamon Blush



Have you tried the NYX blush in Cinnamon?  If not you really should.  It is one of those colors that complement every skin tone and looks good on everyone from the darkest of chocolates to the lightest of alabaster skin.  I am not a blush fend or fanatic, but I can say that I am so glad I have this beautiful color in my collection.  It looks amazing on me (I describe my skin tone as toasted caramel) and I have used it on my mom who has a warm honey beige skin tone, and she looked amazing with it on too. 




Before I go into more about the coverage let’s address the spec’s.   The blush has .4g or .14 oz. of product.  It is hypoallergenic and cruelty free.   I have seen the price vary from $3.75 to $5 depending on your location.  I purchased my NYX blush in a combo pack from Haultlook (love that website).   Cinnamon is a matte powder brush that is highly pigmented and smooth to the touch. The warm reddish orange huge gives a natural looking flush to the skin when used with a brush, and it can either be shirred out or built up to your liking without looking cakey or patchy.

So if you are looking for a natural, matte go- to blush that gives you a natural flush look, like we all had as little girls then this is the one to get. This is the one I recommend when asked what would be a great beginner blush to have.  Why you ask?   Because it transcends all seasons, meaning you will look good wearing it on the Hawaiian beaches in July as you will on the ski sloped of Colorado in December.  Can you tell I can’t stop singing its praise!  Let me know what blush you love and consider a makeup vanity necessity.
