    Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

    What the gurus are saying

    This blush holds its colour for around 10 hours without fading, which sets it apart from many powders that wear off faster through the day. The peachy shade reads as a subtle alternative to Nars Orgasm, with a gentler gold shimmer, while the fuchsia magenta works well over cream blushes to deepen and define. Not many gurus have weighed in yet, so there is not much broader perspective to go on at the moment.

    "Also from NYX, the Buttermilk Blush. This is so pretty. I'd say this is a dupe for Nars Orgasm because it's that same peachy color with the kind of gold overlay except the gold is a little more subtle in this than in the Nars. So, I kind of like this one better. And what's staying power? Like, 10 hours, usually my blush is going to be worn off. And this just looks terrific still. So, that's a really good one."

    "This is a very nice fuchsia magenta shade and it compliments that cream blush that I applied so well and it's also going to give my cheeks some definition."
    ~Nay
    "I think I do like the color of this NYX one, but it does have that slight shimmer to it, which always gives, on me, a bit of an ashiness. I just don't think it needs that metallic tone to it, that metallic undertone. Not my favorite. I really don't like that shade. I don't like this. I don't like this shade, though. That's not great on me, but also, I look at this and think about it on perhaps a deeper skin tone, and this kind of gray shine it has, a silvery shine. I can't imagine being great on deeper skin tones either."

    "I like this kind of like hot pink blush situation I think it looks really pretty. It really blended into the skin nicely. The amount of glow that it gives is not something that emphasizes texture which is really nice. It just looks almost like a cream gives that sort of like a healthy reflect to the cheeks. It does that but in a powder form which is nice because the powders mean there will be more longevity than a cream. A little bit goes a long way with this so just keep that in mind."
