I don’t think they’re as finely milled as their pricier counterparts… It’s not a huge deal to me, but when I apply them to my cheeks, I can see the powder sitting on top of the skin. Swatches from left on NW20 skin: NYX Pinched, NYX Red
Swatches from left on NC35 skin: NYX Pinched, NARS Orgasm, NYX Red, MAC Frankly Scarlet NYX Red (left), MAC Frankly Scarlet (right)
Oh, if you’re particular about texture, this may be something to keep in mind: Red and Pinched both feel soft to the touch but pack more pigmentation than I expected from them. The NYX Powder blushes have been around for a while and have gotten mad love on review sites like Makeup Alley.
