NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Powder Blush review

Editors' favorite affordable powder blush right now: rich color that blends smoothly and lasts. It is very pigmented, so a light hand matters, and the scent bothers a few reviewers.

A highly pigmented pressed powder blush made with mango, almond and shea butters. NYX says it wears up to 12 hours and resists fading and transfer, and it comes in 12 core shades across soft matte, satin and glowy finishes. This listing is For The Butta, a bright pink.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I avoid applying too much?
NYX suggests lightly tapping the brush in the pan. Reviewers recommend building color in thin layers because the pigment is strong.
Is it good for dark skin?
Reviewers say the pigment shows up well on deeper skin tones, and shades like Back And Butta are singled out for deeper complexions.

How we pick and rate products

1

Shortlist what's worth buying

We start from models that are actually sold and supported in the US, and drop anything with a pattern of reliability, app or support problems.

2

Research, not spec-sheet copying

We weigh manufacturer specs against independent lab measurements, professional reviews and long-term owner reports, and write down where they disagree.

3

Score with the trade-offs visible

Each product gets a 10-point score against the criteria that matter for its category, with the pros and cons that produced it.

Commissions don't pick winners

We earn from some links, but which store pays more never decides what we recommend. If the best option is somewhere we don't earn, we still say so.
