I had no clue where to start up with my posts, I have about 30 or so new product swatches and reviews to share so I just picked one randomly!NYX blush in taupe is my first NYX blush ever. Can you believe that? Although, it really doesn't fit the bill as a 'blush'; It's most definitely a contour color. I'd describe it as mid-tone dirty taupe with a mauve cast. It doesn't look very flattering in the package.
There is no shimmer or shine, but it isn't completely flat either. It's got a nice soft satin matte finish.Swatch of taupe blush:
It looks like a bruise on my ghost skin! Surprisingly, it works nicely as a contour, but I have to be careful to use a light hand since it can look dirty if I apply too much.I'd recommend this to anyone to contour with. It can create a really nice shadow below the cheekbones or any other area of the face you want to 'recede'.
FOTD wearing taupe contoured under cheekbones:
I like how it doesn't look fake or too orange like some contour/bronzers do. It acts as a natural looking shadow which is exactly what you want when contouring.I have to say that I am impressed with the pigmentation, and you can bet I'll be getting myself some more NYX blushes in the future!
Do you like NYX blush? Any favorite colors?

Looks great! I may have to pick myself one of these up at some point!
This looks really nice as a contour, but it does look scary in the pan!
This would be really good to tone down a darker crease color. I'm going to check this out next time I'm at Ulta(:
