At first I didn't really care for this. I thought it was okay, but not earth shatteringly awesome. Had I reviewed this product two months ago, I probably would have given it a 3 or 4. I recently...

I read many reviews on this before I bought it, so I knew it isn't considered a blush by most (if any) mua girls. I'm 41, not a ton of wrinkles, and this is exactly what I've been looking for. I...

I'm not sure why this is in the blush category. There really isn't anyone pale enough that this would show up on as a blush so this is a highlighter in my book. I used it over my blush and on my...

Thank you, thank you ladies! Thank you for making me even look at this product! I've always skipped it because I just assumed it was too light as a blush for me! Well, I was right, as a blush it...

I purchased Nico on accident. I went to Sephora to purchase Albatross by NARS, but because the Nico packages were right next to the Albatross highlighter blush I grabbed Nico when I wasn't paying...

This is a lovely subtle highlighter on my NC35-37 skin. In the pan it looks like a pressed powder (on lighter end of the spectrum) with a satin sheen to it. Applied, it just gives of a soft-focus...

Let me preface this by saying I am extremely pale - I generally use the lightest shade of foundation from any brand. By this time of year the little colour I pick up over the summer has gone, and I...

This blush's most practical use is to tone down the blush color without making my face powdery. I find the blush pressed rather loosely, so brushes can grab it easily. Even putting on a little more...

Such an awesome all-around powder. I call it powder, and never call it a blush. Great finish to your makeup for a subtle glow, or to soften the edges on your brighter and intense blushes. ...

As many people have stated, Nico isn't exactly a blush, although some people use it as such with disappointing results. I used it as an all over finishing powder. It has a subtle shimmer that...

Nico is fabulous as well as fabulously misunderstood. It isn't a blush, so the people who buy it thinking it is are disappointed. It *can* be a highlighter, though many people expect/prefer their...

I absolutely love this powder! It is a beautiful highlighter/contour. Not shimmery like some highlighters. I can use it over my foundation and it gives lovely glow.

This is my absolute favorite highlighter blush of all time anywhere. It's super lightweight but can still be used to set liquid foundation. I pair it up with Deep Throat and get SO many compliments...

I like this product. It's excellent at setting my concealer and brightening my eyes. I know it's not quite as crazy shiny as my MSF's, but I'd never use MSF's all over my face like I can Nico... It...

I think this product gets a bad rap because people buy it thinking that it is a blush. This is a mix between a highlighter and a contouring powder. Also, the texture is a bit different from the...

I have to say that I think this should really be considered a highlighter rather than a blush. It's far too pale for blush, IMO. It's a neutral-toned, pale cream with shimmer. Think fine bone...
