NYX Red Cheeks Cream Blush (Rs 650 for 3.5gms) available at Medplusbeauty.comI rarely use cream blushes .This one got my attention because of the bright red shade it is and the way it transforms on cheeks.
Shade – NYX Red Cheeks Cream Blush is a stunning pink toned red which provides cherry tint on cheeks.It is shimmer free and very creamy.
Packaging – Nyx Cream blush have round black plastic pan having a transparent lid so see the shade. It is sturdy and travel friendly but looks a bit cheap. The shade name and ingredients are mentioned at the back of the packaging.Texture & Formula – The texture of the blush is very soft and smooth. It blends seamlessly without leaving any streaks.The formula is apt for oily skin also as it doesn’t break me out. It neither clogs pores nor accentuates them. I have used this blush as lip colour as well and it performed well in that case also.
The blush settles to a dewy finish which is doesn’t look oily. However, in hot humid weather it can look slightly oily so a layer of powder compact will help.
Pigmentation – The blush is insanely pigmented and has to be used carefully as it can be easily overdone. I apply it in dots over my cheekbones and blend downwards. It has to be used sparingly and then extra can be applied if needed.
Staying Power – Red Cheeks stays for about 5-6 hours on me after which it fades. The blush fades very evenly leaving a natural look.
Application – I apply the blush in dots over my cheek bones and blend with a stippling brush to get flawless look. It doesn’t look patchy or accentuate dry areas of skin.
Overall Thoughts
I have 4 shades from this range and all are completely amazing. Red Cheeks is a very versatile shade that will suit all skin tones. It is a great shade if you like adding brightness to your face or wants to give more attention to cheeks. With this blush, I keep my lip colour very light as it can look over done.
The texture of NYX Red Cheeks is very soft and blends easily. The formula is great for all skin tones as it neither breaks out nor highlights dry skin. It provides dewy finish that looks healthy. Those having Oily skin can dust of some powder to reduce the dewiness.
Overall, NYX Red Cheeks is a decent cream blush and I look forward to using it in the coming season.

You can layer a powder blush on top that way you can increase the staying power and make it work for your oily skin as well!
