Such a risqué color for my fair complexion, but I just love it! For me, it gives very natural look without glitter or shimmer (although there is tiny shimmer in the pan, you can barely see any...

I bought this in September and I hated it. In the packaging it loked like it had an amazing dark rosy burgundy color, which on my skin looked like I was a clown. Now that it is winter, and I learnt...

This is lovely! Perfect pink color for me. Barely need to get any on a brush before it shows up on my face. This might be my new go-to everyday blush!

I agree with the 2 reviews below - except I haven't had any issues with packaging. This may look a bit overwhelming in the pan but it is gorgeous on girls with dark hair. My skin is about NC20-25...

The reason I love this blush so much is because this colour is in my cheeks before I apply foundation, so it looks really natural (as long as you are light-handed). It has a few shimmer...

Looks scary in the pan and if you are a ppp a light hand is needed. The packaging is terribly cheap; another nyx blush fell apart. But this is a great," just come in from the cold", blush.

I really don't know why people waste money on expensive blushes when NYX makes ones of terrific quality, in a wonderful array of colors. I bought Desert Rose on a whim--I was just struck by how...

I had finally come to the end of my Cargo Mendocino blush, and wasn't really wanting to spend the $$ to repurchase, despite the fact that I love the color. So off to Ulta I went. After looking...

This was one of my first NYX purchases. I was on a trip to the States and since there's no NYX where I live, I picked up a few blushes and some lipsticks. I'm really impressed with the quality of...

Holy pigmentation! You really need a light hand and a good blending brush to pull this one off. I use a stippling brush to apply, and then a big fluffy brush to blend out. The payoff and staying...

I am pleasantly surprised by this NYX blush. What a nice healthy looking pop of color! It seems to have a slight coral warm undertone to it. If you generally stay away from pink blushes, which I...

This blush is really pretty, however, I advise using a less dense brush and a very light hand when applying. I'm an NC20 in MAC, so when I saw this color, i thought, "Whoa! Way too red." Gave it a...

Gorgeous addition to the colour palette. I am finding this dark, bold pink surprisingly wearable. Great for more dramatic looks, but I have also been using it during the day to sculpt my face with...

NYX Desert Rose is an extremely pigmented deep rose with a neutral-warm undertone and a matte finish. Although people with light, cool skin can wear it (I do, it is very dramatic.), it is probably...

This is a nice pink shade on my NC55 skin. I've had it for 3 years and I've noticed it becomes more crumbly as it have it. I also noticed when I first used it, it was difficult to blend out.

I'm very surprised by the bad reviews on this colour. It's a beautiful colour and reminds me of a more rosey-pink Nars Exhibit A. It is a very pigmented blush so you should use a duo stippling...
