NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUPPowder Blush, Cinnamon, 0.14 Ounce

I’m writing this a few years after buying it. I’m still using it as my only blush, that’s how long it lasts. It’s perfect! I have very light skin. It’s great.

Excelente

So I recently purchased the blush 'Pinched' by NYX, mostly due to all the hype around it and the comparison to NARS Orgasm. I am absolutely in love with my NARS blush, it looks so nice, effortless and natural, but is (unfortunately) really expensive, so I decided to buy a similar blush I could wear on a daily basis and keep my NARS for special occasions, and Pinched seemed like the perfect fill-in for my favorite blush. PS. If you can find this nearby instores please do!! This retails for $6.00 on here, but retails for $5.00 on NYX's website so consider that!!My first impression of this blush is that it's quite small!! It is about 2 inches, if this were another color and if I saw it sitting somewhere at my local drugstore I would have EASILY mistaken it for a single eyeshadow, because it's quite small!! The packaging is quite nice however, and is actually quite reflective.SIZE COMPARISON: Pinched is nearly (I would say) 3/4th's the size of Orgasm. *Pictures Provided*On the blush itself, it's very pigmented (probably just as much as NARS if not more!!). For the pigmentation itself, you actually get quite a good deal!! The problem with Pinched is that it is actually very pink and very pigmented, which shows up a lot on lighter skin. One sweep of color and the blush literally popped off my medium-toned cheeks!! Also, the powder tends towards chalkiness.COLOR COMPARISON: the color in the pan looks much darker and pinkier than Orgasm. *Pictures Provided* It also looks very matte, not shimmery like Orgasm AT ALL. The golden speckles are hardly noticeable at all. On the skin, Pinched is a much heavier than Orgasm, especially for lighter gals - I can't see this looking good unless it's dusted on with a really light hand!! The color is nearly the same but Pinched shows up easier on the skin.TEXTURE COMPARISON: Pinched has a much harder time blending in than Orgasm - both because of the color, the amount of pigmentation, and he chalkiness of the Pinched powder. NARS is much easier to blend in and looks quite effortless on its own without much blending. Orgasm is also much easier to control as it's not as bright as Pinched.Overall both are great options, NYX Pinched is a good blush, but I still prefer my NARS Orgasm over it. I would not consider it a dupe, though it came close!! I would give this 3 stars, but I'll add in another star for the great price and high pigmentation!!

I found this when I was looking for something almost nude but with the softest color. It turned out to be PERFECT!!! It goes on soft and almost like a nude to the softest pink. I wet my brush and put mine on that way and I love the way the color goes on wet. Very sexy and soft with a hint of shimmer. I looks just like this picture. However with that being said the last one I ordered (which is normal) was from a batch where there was a little extra pink in it. Don't even try to tell me I'm crazy because if there is one think I know - it's makeup! I have so many of these in my box so I can tell the slightest difference. Plus I have bought them from different sellers. It even looks different-a bit darker when I put it on, so I have to adjust the wetness of my brush and slight of my hand. That will not stop me ever from buying this product in this color!!!!!! It is fantastic if you are looking for a very soft, subtle and sexy look. The other color of theirs that I wear is called "Pinched" - it is perfect when I am wanting the sun kissed look because it is more shimmery and has a more bronzier "cool" to it. I won't say warmth because it is not dark like a bronze but it has the shimmer of some of the nicer bronzers that we like to wear to "lighten and brighten" our faces up with a bit of golden/caramel tones. You can look it up and see the picture of its color which are not always perfect depending on where you look. I am Hispanic with Olive skin tone which may help give you an idea. I tan really well and I love the way these look with and without a tan.

Color is not the same but it is very pigmented.

I'm a very pale woman, and friends, I need blush. Since I first started using cheek color, it's been my experience that applied in the morning, the blush is nowhere to be seen later in the day. And yet I faithfully apply it every morning anyway. I got my mauve blush yesterday (postal delivery on a Sunday - Amazon and the UPS rock!) and had a chance to see today how it held up. All. Day. Yes!! After 10 hours, I could still see evidence of it! This is amazing to me. I was unfamiliar with "highly pigmented" makeup and assumed for as little as I knew, that it would be pricey. Not so. I got this for a bargain $3.Prior to buying I did a Google image search and looked at lots of photos of this product trying to get a handle on the *real* look of the color. I felt confident enough after that to go ahead and purchase. Technically, the definition of "mauve" is purple-pink. Now that I have it here, it just looks pink to me and that is fine. It's not at all harsh or garish for someone as fair as I am. It's soft and pretty. My life is changed. All-day blush. Who knew?

I have this blush from YEARS ago, literally like over 10 years ago...the lid is broken and its almost finished but I cant get rid of it. the color compliments my skin tone so amazing, in the winter and in the summer. I tried finding it in retail but it seems like its discontinued because I couldn't find this shade anywhere so I tried here on amazon, and sure enough found it! I didnt receive it yet, but I will update once I get it to make sure its the same trusted one.
