PP12: NYX Powder blush in Taupe PB11

happy Halloween! I hope you get sufficiently spooked today as well as likewise eat enough candies for a nice sugar high.

Today’s job pan product is the NYX Powder blush in Taupe #PB11:

It was not by accident that this product is featured today – if you’re in a pinch for ghoulish looking hollowed out cheeks for a costume, perhaps a contouring shade such as this might help!

This is the old version of the NYX Taupe – there is a new version when NYX replaced the whole blush line with the HD Blushes. It was a source of heated discussion when NYX reformulated this specific colour since it’s a much cherished shade. There are great deals of opinions about which version is better: this video shows a comparison between the old versus new versions. She discovered the new one less pink, as well as one more person found the new one warmer, one more person discovered the new formula drier, however yet one more person discovered the new powder to be much smoother.

Not my picture – she discovered the HD powders not to blend as nice as the original. Kilde.
Who to believe? Unfortunately, I do not have the new HD one to compare right here for you (maybe one day).  What I do understand is that the original version, the one I own, has a nice awesome undertone for contouring. Remember: contouring products should mimic natural shadows which is greyish in tone.  Bronzers in gerneral are not great for contouring, they’re usually as well orange. You want something with a taupe / grey rather than orange / brown tone.

Both the old as well as new version phone calls this a blush however it’s definitely a contouring colour. NYX now likewise offer a whack of contouring products (including the Highlighting as well as Contouring pro combination which I won from Sandie’s stock giveaway a while back – still requirement to evaluation that!) so I’m not sure why they kept this product as part of the blush collection. It’s confusing.

There is a slight sheen to the powder however it’s not shimmery.
This powder applies smoothly – it’s not as well extremely pigmented however I don’t mind since I want the contouring impact to be subtle. It’s extremely simple to blend out so there are no harsh lines.

Of all of the beauty routine “extras” such as highlighting / strobing, bronzing, etc, contouring is the thing I seldom do (I mentioned this in my 7 Deadly Sins Tag!).  I do have naturally high cheekbones (not a boast, just describing my deal with structure) so I don’t requirement to contour. But, since contouring almost daily, I do believe that doing this additional subtle step adds a nice definition to my face.  I’ve been utilizing my reliable Anna Sui deal with clean each time:

Since many of you asked about different contouring brushes in my Nars Kabuki Ita clean post, here’s a lot that I own for comparison.  I categorize contour clean into 2 types:

Flat contour brushes

These are fantastic for producing a directly line, particularly for the hollows of the cheeks.

Ecotools Deluxe fan clean – before the availability of actual flat contour brushes, fan brushes produced a nice soft diffusion of contour colour in the cheek hollows. this is super big as well as has medium density.

Anna Sui deal with clean – my favourite clean for cheek contouring – the perfect mix of firm bristles as well as diffused edges to lay down precise placement as well as to blend.

Everyday Minerals Itahake clean – method as well dense as well as can’t blend worth crap. Makes a harsh line as well as then you’re stuck with it! This clean is slated to be purged.

Nars Kabuki Ita – not worth the money! See my evaluation as well as comparison to a $2 knock off here.

L to R: Anna Sui deal with Brush, Nars Kabuki Ita, Illamasqua clean Up
Illamasqua blush Up clean – it’s the most compact, blunt as well as has the shortest bristles of all the ones I own. This produces a sharp line as well as is truly great for blending out cream products (I own the Illamasqua cream blush in Zygomatic, which is a gorgeous contour shade).

Round contour brushes

These are fantastic for contouring around the forehead, hairline, jawline, etc. I believe these would be as well big for nose contouring – you’re much better off utilizing an eye shadow blending clean for that purpose.

Quo Contour clean – this was my very first contour clean as well as it was fine of what it is. now that I understand better, it’s rather scratchy as well as it sheds a lot.

Charlotte Tilbury Powder & Sculpt clean – the newest addition to my contour clean stash. It’s a bit floppy to do targeted contouring however the directed tip with the bulbous shape is fantastic for diffusing colour. I like it for forehead contouring.  It’s likewise extremely soft so it’s much better served with very pigmented products.

Real methods Contour clean – this doesn’t pick up powder pigment as well well. I only utilize this for high pigment powders – mainly blushes.

MAC 109 little Contour clean- Det er lige så godt for præcis placering af kontur, såvel som det føles ridset på huden. Jeg udnytter dette til pulverformige rødmer, der har lav pigmentering.

Tilbage til NYX-pulveret rødme i Taupe – Jeg vil ikke bedømme det, da det ikke tilbydes nogen form for mere, men jeg kan virkelig lide sin fantastiske undertone som et konturprodukt. Og baseret på det, jeg har set online, vil jeg foreslå at inspicere den nye HD-rødme i Taupe. Det er et overkommeligt valg for et konturpulver, der ikke er så godt orange eller ashy.

Det er lavet i Kina (P.R.O.C. = Folkerepublikken Kina) som de fleste af NYXs produkter.
I renten for at forsøge at udnytte dette produkt til jobpande (som om jeg nogensinde vil ramme pan på denne ting! Jeg har haft det i mere end 5 år såvel som vaffelmønsteret har ikke engang brugt fladt Endnu), jeg er begyndt at udnytte dette som en kontur for mine øjenskygger og blande dybere nuancer i min krølle. Det virker ligeledes utroligt til det formål, men jeg har ikke lavet en bule i vægten:

Jeg bruger stadig pligtskyldigt hvert enkelt produkt i min jobpande, 5 dage om ugen til mit arbejdsflade. Jeg er ikke sikker på, hvorfor lastpulveret ikke ændrede i sidste uge!
