Blush and Contour
I enjoy creating some dimension to my round face by contouring, and having a few different gradations of blush is helpful with that so I wanted to give this a try.
I was a little afraid that this would be too orange, but a blush brush fortunately doesn't pick up too much color! So despite being so bright, the Love palette is surprisingly wearable and great for spring/summer. I use the two lightest shades for a sheer wash of blush color, and then use the remaining darker shades as needed to contour, just a little! I like to apply this in shade by shade for the best contour control, and because if you apply it all at once by swirling the whole brush in the compact, you'll just end up blending it all together... might as well get a single-color blush!
The price for these can't be more than $9, which isn't too bad since you're getting 5 shades. These compacts come in a variety of shades including brights, classics, and neutrals, so there's one for everybody.
5 Hues to Perfection!
I tend to never lean towards Mosaic powders because they sometimes are a hit & miss! NYX did quite an amazing job pairing these Mosaic powders together, hands down. They give you enough of each spectrum of the color range your looking for so you can keep it light, darken it up.. or even brighten! Each NYX Mosaic Powders come with 5 hues in a pan, so its safe to say once you swirl the combination it will be perfect, right? I purchased mine at my local Ulta for around $6, here's what i thought:
-Round black clam case very similar to MAC blush -Not travel safe & will shatter easily due to multiple different layers pressed together -Great Pigmentation & color pay off (they pack a punch!) -Buildable & easy to go sheer or darker/brighter -Powdery and all of the product build up with occur in blush tin (must tap off brush before applying or else it will be clown time! haha ) -Matte & shimmery hues are mixed here for a perfect combination -Affordable & Located online and Ulta (for me atleast)
My fair skin normally shows everything to the max, but the color love i picked up is my perfect coral color! It looks amazing paired with a bronzer as well! I find these powders to be more effective than elf, and for a few more dollars there a steal compared to other companies. NYX did it again, i recommend it!
I bougth this a couple of years ago, and i am not the biggest fan of it. I feel it is too powdery. When i ordered the blush i did not think the color was so brigth, so i was a bit surprised when i got the blush because it was so brigth in the color and was more oveer to the orange color.
