This swatches SO differently in photos than it looks on my face. On my very cool NC10-15 skin, it's almost a slightly more shimmery, more pigmented dupe for NARS Orgasm. Very orange, very bright, very shiny. Blush tends to pull coral on me but this was insane. The texture is nice but that's about it. It also irritated my skin -- had a flareup of dermatitis where I applied it, and I never ever have spots on my cheeks with my everyday blush (Shu Soft Pink) so I know it's the culprit.
The good news: this will probably look pretty on tanned, warmer skin tones (without sensitivity). Sadly, I am neither.

The description of Angel is "Matte Soft Pink". I got it online, when I received it, I was a little disappoint because Angel is not matte at all. It is waaaay shimmery with very little pigment. The pink is on the peachy side, rather than a cool-neutral I was hoping for.

I LOVE this blush! It is the absolute perfect colour for fair skin. It's a soft, neutral, peachy shade that looks so natural. I feel like I have the most natural glow when I wear this. It's my favourite NYX blush, and one of my favourite blushes of any brand.

The shade in the packaging is a pinkish mate colour but in my face turns to a orange shade that i hate so much. I tried with my foundation and the shade started to oxidize,without foundation it doesn't show up. The consistency is so powdery and it doesn't have so much pigmentation like I said before.The packaging is a plastic material and looks so cheap. I don't know I guess you get what you pay for. When i started to learn how to do my makeup i bought so much stuff from Nyx cause is cheap and is a good option if you are starting but after 5 years right know i hate this brand. I got eyeshadows and so much stuff and i think if you are in makeup and you use good/higher brands you will not like nyx but it's only my opinion.

The shade looks lovely in the pan, but once it is on it oxidizes on me. NYX blushes seem to have no lasting power on me and also very powdery, so it makes it a little hard to work with. I will not repurchase.

I fell in love with this colour the minute I spotted NYX's blush products! "Angel" is very, very pigmented and a little really goes along way. The colour is a beautiful blush pink with peach undertones. For me to rave about a blush is a huge deal too because I have been dedicated to MAC's blush in the colour "Dame" for years.

The colour is nothing like the one swatched!! I wanted a cool baby pink shimmery blush, like angel is supposed to be, but what I got is peachy-orangey! It is really really weird. Did I get a wrong batch or what? I don't understand. Apart from the colour that is not flattering on my cool toned skin, the shimmer is really beautiful and gives dimension to the blush so it doesn't look flat. I might repurchase just to see whether the one I have is really angel or another blush mistakenly labeled as angel.

I do enjoy this blush and most of NYX's powder blush collection. However, I was rather disappointed with this blush's pigmentation. I love the dusty rose-pink color and how it looks on my cheeks, but I find that I have to apply the blush a few times before it can be seen.
Other than the bad pigmentation, this blush is absolutely gorgeous and leaves a very natural flush to the cheeks.

I love this blush! The quality and the color are fantastic! I am on a drugstore kick these days, because I am fed up with paying more for high-end products that just don't deliver. This blush is a beautiful pale neutral pink, and delivers the most beautiful and realistic glow. Angel would be suitable for most skintones, however the color might need to be built up for medium-dark skintones. The blush is finely milled, with a great color payoff. It's a cheap product (I found mine for $7 CAD, plus 20% off) and great quality for a drugstore find. I will continue to repurchase, as I am seriously impressed with this blush.

This is the blush I reach for everyday. It leaves a gorgeous glow on my nc20 skin- very natural and flushed, and definitely office appropriate.
I don't find it powdery at all, in fact I love the satiny feel. I haven't noticed any shimmer in mine, but after reading other reviews I will have to go check mine again!
Will repurchase for sure!

From the reviews on here, it would seem like the blushes are a bit different depending on the batches? Mine is a light pink with some very small shimmers. The staying power for this is not bad and the colour looks natural enough on my nc20 skin, but it is so powdery. I had the same problem with another blush by NYX in the shade Dusty rose (the only 2 NYX blushes I own). No matter how gently i tap or touch the blush with my brush, A HUGE amount of powder appears on the top and it's a hassle to not get it all over the place.
This is an okay product, nothing to rave about, but I'd say give it a try if you don't mind powdery fallout :)

I was hoping this blush would be the nice, light mauvey-pink color I've seen in most swatches, like the one in the second picture on this page. Instead, it's much more like the third picture. This color is not flattering on me, personally. I'm a pale (NC-15) girl and this blush is peachy/coral color which makes me look sunburned. Not a good look for me.
Price wise, it's fairly inexpensive (I purchased off Amazon), but I paid too much for a blush I'll rarely use, unless by some miracle I manage to tan.
The batch number, if anyone is interested is: 04102011. I'm guessing this is the date of production and one of the newer versions.
Overall, I would recommend trying before buying if you can.

Love the blush. Very soft and natural looking, with a nice texture. I am a NW15 and this is a wonderful shade for me. However, I'm not sure there would be much pay-off if you not a pretty fair person.

Angel is a flattering neutral light rose-pink that gives a flush of satiny sheen and not a shimmery/sparkly finish on my NC37 skin. The color and finish are perfect for those who are going for "dewy natural" and not for a brighter shimmery pink. In fact, the satiny sheen glow of this finish is one of my favorite blush finishes - perfect for every day, any season and whatever color coordination.
However, NYX Angel is quite possibly the most powdery blush I've used - to the point that it sort of crumbles in the pan when I dip my brush in to get product. As a result, a massive amount of product gets everywhere every time I want to use it. Also, since the blush is so powdery, that means that the blush is loosely packed and prone to breakage. A bit of a corner of product in the pan somehow got loose when the blush was in my mu bag (I never dropped it!) and blush was all over the place. I cleaned the blush out, hoping that it would be ok. Big mistake.
The part that broke off only gave way to more opportunities for blush to break off, since more edges of the blush were exposed to nothingness (aka no support to hold it in the pan from the rest of the product.) The next time I looked at the blush, a fourth of it was loose in the packaging.
The blush is also in cheap plastic packaging. The flip top lid is already loose on mine so it sort of falls back and forth without any of its original control.

The old formulation of this blush was HG for me (matte and muted baby pink); I just received a replacement and it's definitely shimmery, pinker (less dusty), and I detect micro-glitter...not sure what I think about it yet, but I'll re-review after giving it a go.

Most light pink blushes dont show up on my nc40 skintone or turn coral on me (like tarte dollface or pf happy booster). However, I bought this blush because of its cool undertone and it looks lavender rather than a light pink. Its looks like a lighter version of nyx raisin. Its a pretty color but not an everyday color. if you are fair and have cool undertones, it may look more pink than purple. I may try nyx peach as I heard its not really a peach but a light pink.

This blush is the perfect pale pink colour! I use it for my everyday make up, and it gives me lovely rosy cheeks.
One thing that I don't like about it is that it crumbles... a lot. So when I dab my brush into the blush, it gets everywhere. That's really the only reason to why I didn't give it a 5.
Although, it's still very creamy and easy to work with when you got it on your skin.
In sweden where I live, NYX is really expensive.. This blush cost me about 14 $, and that was on SALE. So I'm guessing the regular price must have been about 23 $ , which is TOO much! Next time I want to buy something from NYX, I'm going to order it online :)
All in all, this is a great blush. And I will definitely buy it again!

This is nothing like I thought it would be. I had to order it online because my Ulta does not carry this color. First of all, it is NOT a dupe for MAC Well Dressed blush. I've seen people say that on beauty blogs and reviews and I totally disagree. Well Dressed is not matte, and is way pinker and brighter. Angel is more of a dirty brownish pink. It looks almost like a tan/brown color in the pan. On my NW20 skin it looks more pink than in the pan but I'm not crazy about it. It's kind of blah. Definitely won't repurchase.

I looked at a couple of blog swatches online before ordering this and it appeared darker in the photos than the actual product. To me, 'Angel' is a pale blue-toned pink with minimal shimmer and in terms of pigmentation, it is a bit sheer. On my NC30 skin-tone, I found it hard to show up properly and needed to layer this several times. I wouldn't choose to use this on it's own, but it has been great for layering on top of creme blushes. The texture lets me down too. It's quite chalky/powdery and crumbles a little when I sweep my brush over it. It doesn't last for very long and I think this would best suit paler skin-tones because they would have an easier time with this colour showing up.

As with Peach, the texture of this shade of blush is a little chalky and powdery. The color is sheer, but not totally unpigmented. I think this color is as cute as Peach... but in the pan only. On my cheeks, this is, ironically, pure hell for me. I blame this on the lilac undertone, which is a color that will never look good on my NC30 skin. Therefore, this one will be going up for swaps!
