I'm really pale, I got the color Riverside Rose and it gives you a natural look.

The pigmentation in this blush is terrible! I usually give a product a few chances, but this one wasn't working at all. It looks promising in the pan with a cute NYC imprint and rather sturdy packaging, but don't let that fool you. When swatched on my hand, it's flaky, and I barely see anything. On my cheeks, it's even worse. I used to use it on the sides of my face as a contour, but I had to build and build, and it just wasn't worth it. Not to mention the cheap, scratchy brush that comes with it. It's cheap, but still, don't waste your money on this.

I went to my pharmacy to get my pictures printed, and I stumbled upon this blush and a few others from the same brand. There was a nice pinky mauve color that reminded me of my beloved nars orgasm blush. I bought it as well as another plum color. I was almost out of my nars blush and I was hoping this might be a cheaper dupe. A little far fetched, I know, but I decided it was worth a try. I tried putting it on when I got home, and it didn't even appear on my cheeks! I didn't know what to think, so I tried a swatch on my hand. Still it didn't show up, not even at all! I ended up rubbing my finger back and forth until I almost hit pan but it did not show up even a little bit. I hoped the plum color would show up a little bit better but I got the same results. I would not recommend this to anyone.

i got this in Riverside Rose and it's a nice, matte, natural, winter blush. i love that you get a ton of product but like everyone else, i'm not a fan of pigmentation or lack of in this blush. it's better than the Maybelline powder blushes which i've also used and were absolutely terrible but like those Maybelline blushes, the NYC ones are also buildable and it's a great colour if you can get it to work, but for me, it's just too much effort for such a disappointing lasting power and i have so many blushes, i would not recommend this :( if you want NYC blushes, try their blushable cream sticks!

My first blush infact, so Im not even a big blush person. No pigment at all. I bought this in Central Park Pink and I'm disappointed! The price is cheap but not worth it. The brush sheds and is absolutely worthless. The packaging, I have no problems with. A good amount is given. No way am I repurchasing.

i purchased this product at target in central park pink after buying NYC sunny bronzer because i fell in love with that bronzer. i do like the silky texture. unfortunately, theres pigmentation at all. and ive tried everything. Ive even tried scraping some off, crushing it into a powder and tried using it like that. nothing. waste of my time and money.

Got this in West Side Wine. Dirt cheap, but don't waste your money... There is barely any pigment, you may as well be using translucent powder! I prefer my blushes to have a shimmer to them anyway.

Bought this in West Side Wine, which is a great sort of pinky-nude, with more of a warm undertone. I only needed something to use to set my NYX cream blush, but this actually works pretty well on its own.
I have really pale skin in the fall and winter, and it's really great. Of course, it's not as pigmented as I'd like it to be, but it's matte and if you use a proper blush brush (I use Ecotools blush brush), you can get a pretty good blush on your cheeks.
Over a cream blush, it works perfectly to set it. And no shiny particles of glitter. Thank goodness!
I would buy this again, if I ever hit pan. It's really great over my cream blush, and the 3$ price tag is great. I can withhold from buying coffee for a day, and have blush for ..oh gee...who knows how long it'll last. There's a ton in the package (8.1 g / 0.28 oz) so I should be set for the next little bit.

I just purchased this product yesterday from my local Target for under $3.00. I got it in the color West Side Wine because its more of a slight glow rather than pure pink. I love this product because its in my price range, lasts almost all day, and is a great medium color, but I wouldn't recommend using the brush applicator it come with because I feel it just "scrapes" the product and dosen't apply to your face well. So I would recommed purchases a diffrent blush brush. :)

for the price of this you can really complain with what you got really cheap 2 bucks doesnt really last long but i absalutly love the colour i got it in "west side wine" so pretty the pigmentation its alright its not so pigmented which is okay with me i find less pigmented blushes and bronzers are more easier to work with since its all about layering and getting the right amount

I was at Shoppers and was looking for blush, and when I saw this for only 2.99 i couldnt resist! I got this in "Riverside Rose". In the box its a very pretty colour, but when you actually use it, it doesnt even show up! I think NYC needs to work on their pigments...
The container is very tricky to open and the formula is super finley milled ut too much that its rather dusty and just sets on top of your skin. The brush that comes with it is terrible! The hairs are very coarse and stiff(i think its plastic and not real hair..)

yaya i know its only 2.99 and youve got nothing to lose, but seriously DONT BUY IT . Save that 2.99 for better things like,,,,food, college, and your children :p

Straight up chalky. Flat color. Blotchy. Overly powdery. Next to no pigmentation. Shoddy packaging, prone to breaking.

Overall, I am just not impressed. There are many far better offerings in the world of drugstore blushes. This one should be overlooked.

I bought this blush in the color "West Side Wine"

It practically has no pigmentation.
I've tried every face and blush brush, you can scrub the product onto your brush and even then, it doesn't show up on your cheeks.

Do not waste your money on this product.

NYC really needs to work on the amount of pigment they put in their products, especially with this blush. No matter how much I applied, it wouldn't show up. (I'm NC20 skin). And it wore off like you wouldn't believe. Really, only purchase NYC if you want some cheap lipgloss or lipstick, which isn't too terrible. By the way, the shade I purchased is called "Central Park Pink".

I bought this in Central Park Pink and I'm pleased with it. The colour is a soft pink and it looks good on my skin. It's also non comdegenic which means that it won't cause spots - me happy! It has lasted me a very long time too. I have better blushes though.

I haven't used the brush that comes with it, it's too small but I won't cry about that, I already have a perfect blush brush.
