    This is the only NYX blush I use regularly. It's dual purpose for me because I use it for contouring and I use it to tone down my LaFemme blush when I go a bit too heavy and can't blend it out. I...

    PROS: - Cheap! - Good packaging for the price - A lot of product, should last you a long time - GREAT for contouring on fair or medium skin, especially under the cheekbones. It leans on the...

    This blush is great for contouring. Unfortunately in Canada this colour is not available in stores. So I had to order this blush online and pay extra... Not good IMO. I find that this blush if...

    Even though I love my high-end bronzers like Too Faced Chocolate Soleil, I really enjoy NYX' Taupe for contouring as well. It's pretty easy to use and looks natural. I'm an NC 20-25, fair skin...

    I've had a love/hate relationship with this blush when I first purchased it. I SO wanted it to be the perfect contouring shade for me as many have claimed. However, take note- if your skin has...

    Great product for contouring on fair to medium toned skin! My only gripe is it's not QUITE as pigmented as I would like, but this does help you not overdo it on the contouring so it's not a total...

    Love this! Maybe it's my skin tone (fair with pink undertones) but this stuff works great on me. It is fairly sheer and buildable, no glitter or shimmer, and it gives me the most subtle contouring...

    The only product I can successfully contour with. I am around NW20 with a ton of freckles, so most things end up looking orange and muddy and just weird on me. Taupe is the perfect color for me,...

    I bought this for contouring (I'm MAC NW15 if not even more pale) and I guess it does a decent job. I get a cool, natural looking result. I'm not doing contouring every day so I don't use this very...

    I have nc20-25 skin, and it is combination. This blush is a decent contouring powder because it has some grey/cool-tones to it which mimics the shadows under your cheekbones much more naturally...

    Perfect contour shade for light because it creates the perfect illusion of a shadow. Im so done contouring with bronzers because those just look too orange and unnatural. This is really perfect and...

    Finally a contour shade that I can easily fit in my bag. I really like the matte bronzers, but a lot of them have too much red in them. Taupe blush is very neutral & great for contouring. I'm a...

    I'd never tried contouring before, but I've always been a fairly natural-look kind of girl, so I thought that contouring might help give my face a little something extra. It does. I had to buy...

    The one and only contour powder I ever reach for. The fact that it is taupe makes the appearance of an actual shadow under your cheekbones without looking like a line of makeup. I'm quite fair,...

    I've got light (but not super fair) skin with olive/yellow undertones. While Taupe is definitely a more realistic contour color than bronzers, but I really have to pile it on to see it show up. I'm...
