N.Y.X “Taupe” Blush"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My undying love for N.Y.X’s blush in “Taupe”<\/em> has been a well known fact for months and months now. It’s my life saver: It makes me look like a supermodel when I feel like a crack-addict. It makes me look like a photoshopped goodness when I feel like an unliquified mess. This blush is heaven and more to me..<\/p>\n

But then N.Y.X decided it was time to shatter my golden days and discontinue “Taupe”<\/em>..
\n
\n*continues to sob for hours and hours*<\/em>
\n“HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME N.Y.X??!!”<\/em> – was the first thing that came to mind when a subbie tweeted me this horrible news. It literally felt as if the aliens of American Horror Story: Asylum<\/em> came to my room and ripped my heart out.<\/p>\n

And so the search for a not even nearly as beautiful dupe began.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nR.I.P my love… <\/3<\/sup>
\nI visited the M.A.C PRO store today and walked into some of their contouring\/highlighting powders. One caught my eye: “Taupe”. Would this be my holy replacement of my N.Y.X Taupe? Would life be that kind to me?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nTop: M.A.C ‘”Taupe” – Bottom: N.Y.X “Taupe”<\/sup>
\nLife is a cruel monster sometimes.. Can we say: “Not even close?”<\/em><\/p>\n

The thing I love about the N.Y.X blush so much is that it’s sheer and natural. When contouring with this, it literally looks as if you’re adding a natural shadow to the face.
\nWhich is amazing! People will never be able to tell it’s all fake.<\/p>\n

With the M.A.C blush all I can say is: It’s just too obvious. It’s super pigmented and just too there. It’s hard to explain but it just looks fake and caked on.<\/p>\n

Now ofcourse if that’s your thing, go for it! But the reason why I love the N.Y.X blush so much is because it’s just so darn natural.<\/p>\n

….. *sigh* and so the search for the perfect N.Y.X Blush in “Taupe” dupe continues……<\/em><\/p>\n
