This is a blush that will naturally suit lighter skin tones the best as a result of being on the lighter end of the spectrum, as it will show up as more of a highlighter on medium and deeper skin tones (as it does on me). The powder was soft, smooth, and powdery, though it didn’t feel chalky. It had semi-opaque color payoff that was buildable to a degree, but it tended to soften more readily than it did intensify to opaque color. The finish is luminous without being too frosted, so it didn’t emphasize pores or the skin’s natural texture, and despite the powderiness, it didn’t look that way on the skin. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading on me.

Now THIS is more my color 🙂 Very pretty.
Glad ya liked it!
I’m still yet to give any NYX products a go, although I recently found them on sale in Next in the UK. This looks like the perfect universal shade and great for everyday use to warm up any skin tone. I’m not a massive blush wearer as it’s something I don’t tend to pay attention to, so maybe I should give a shade like this ago to ease myself into it lol
This might work well as a good beginner blush!
Sounds beautiful! x
I really like the finish of it!
Pretty! I already have 2 of the dupes – Benefit Coralista (love!) and Too Faced Papa Don’t Preach
Sounds like you’re covered for this color territory!
I am so excited that you’re reviewing these! I’ve seen them all over my feed in YouTube and was wondering if you would. This color seems a little light for me (even as a fair girl, I love deeper toned blushes) but is really pretty. 🙂
The finish is really the best part of it, I think!
I’m really a fan of NYX these days, and their new formulas and packaging are just reinforcing that love. I feel like Taupe HD is an improvement to the original, and this peach is lovely. Definitely better suited for ghost white people I expect. Lucky for me heehee.
Happy to hear you’re digging them so far! 🙂
Lovely shade. Did this color seem as prone to shattering as the taupe?
Hi Rachel,
I only had three shatter from the ones I’ve ordered, and ULTA tossed them in an oversized cardboard box with no bubble wrap around them, no thick paper to cushion, etc. so on my end, them shattering wasn’t a surprise (fragile or not). This was one of the blushes that arrived intact from ULTA. None of the blushes I ordered directly from NYX arrived broken. I just know that several readers had issues with theirs shattering through ULTA orders and one reader had an issue with them shattering in her bag on the way home from an ULTA store.
Thanks for the clarification. Crappy order packing is a pet peeve of mine. Glad to hear this one didn’t break on you.
My son says, “Awwww…thanks!” for the birthday wishes.
It’s honestly a miracle everything wasn’t smashed to bits, LOL.
😀
I was thinking what a pretty blush this is, and I have Coralista by Benefit, so I’m glad to see I already own something that’s so similar!
Yay!!
Beautiful! But I’m planning to get MUG Honeymoon so this is probably redundant.
You’ll be covered with Honeymoon!
Oh, that’s really pretty!
It is! 😀
It looks so pretty and delicate
It’s a nice shade for fair skin!
Seems a smidge chalky, I’ll pass.
More powdery than chalky, I’d say.
This is definitely my colour – I hope I can get this one. I love it.
I have just spent a bit of time looking at the dupes and their ratings – and honestly this product rates better than Dior and about the same as many of the dupes. So all in all – it is a great product to buy.
I hope you can! 🙂
I’m really loving this formula of HD blushes! This is another staple shade!
Yay!
These blushes are just so cute to me lol. I love the little bow detail. I’ll have to try one soon
Aww! 🙂
Oh what a pretty color. I’m pretty pale and I have this weird fear of getting my blush too bright, so this sounds perfect to me.
It would be great for fair skin if you are worried about overdoing it!
Amaiiiizing photos! Love the review
xoxx
Thank you, Torey!
This is really really pretty! MAC Melba is my go-to blush– would you say that this is similar?
here you go! http://www.temptalia.com/submit-dupe?sbs=1&pid=108853&dupe=190137
Such a pretty blush! How do you think this compares to Chanel Espiegle?
They’re very different! http://www.temptalia.com/submit-dupe?sbs=1&pid=98466&dupe=189965
I love the new NYX packaging, I must say. The blush looked amazing on the pan, but I wish it was more pigmented! Gives a very pretty glow, though. 🙂
I wish it was more pigmented, too!
