I have the product without the sifters so using it gets very messy. The color's easier to work with than Soft Touch because a touch darker. It's a soft matte pink. I find it useful when I'm in a rush. The blush isn't very obvious and looks like you've been outside for too long. The color doesn't go orange on me at the end of the day. For me, it just fades.

This is one of my favorite blushes in my collection and it is definitely the most versatile one. The swatches posted are quite accurate and the best description of the color would be a light neutral color. It isn't particularly pink, coral or peachy just a perfect neutral flush that makes you look more alive and healthy. I use it very often especially if I am doing strong eye or lip looks and I want my cheeks to have some color but not stand out. This blush is pigmented, smooth and easy to apply. Other than the versatility, I also love that none of the ingredients in the blush are offensive to acne-prone skin. I am very very acne-prone and very picky about what I put on my face. I can say for sure that the EM blush formulas do not make me breakout and I use them on almost an everyday basis.

Beautiful soft, dusty rose shade that's neutral and will literally match everything and anything. If you're looking for one color to have that's no fuss for day or night, then it's is a great shade. It can be built up for more of a rosey flush or applied very lightly for a barely there pink hue that's completely natural, soft and innocent!

Even though it's matte, it's not chalky and looks so natural. I have super pale skin and this looks like my true natural flush. Love it.

I got a sample sze of this ages ago and I just recently discovered this again...

Firstly let me tell you abit of myself, I am pretty tan 330 in Revlon colour stayfoundation and shell beige in double wear foundation

This looks absolutely amazing on tan skins, most natural colour ever and I think it just adds such a nice touch to my skin. It makes me look really healthy without looking like I am wearing blush which is always good.

I just love the way this looks on my skin! Am now planning to buy the full size one!

Buy it! You will love it!

I really like this blush. Everyday Minerals has nice blush. This is a really soft pale dusty pink. It is really nice for pale skin. The texture is so smooth and silky.

This is a pretty peachy pink color that's great for fair to medium skin tones. Can't go wrong with it. I love it's matte finish and how it lasts all day long. Something about it makes my complexion look red carpet ready and flawless.....or at least that's what my daughter says every time I wear it. :)

I love this blush. I wanted a really, really light, natural pink and I actually wrote to EM asking them if Nick Nack would be the right choice, but because I have medium skin, they told me that it would be too light and to try pink ribbon instead. I took their advice and ordered pink ribbon, which is ok, but it is kind of generic, if that makes sense. So I actually recieved a mini size of nick nack in a free promo, and I wish I would have ordered it months ago!! It is such a pretty light pink natural shade. I wear it during the day time when all I wear is foundation with some mascara and lip gloss. Even if you have medium or semi-dark skin I would recommend this color. You kind of have to pile it on because it isn't very pigmented for darker skin tones, but I really really like this color! I am going to order the full size.

I'm fairly pale (I wear EDM Linen base) and got this blush as a sample with a free code. I would never have picked it for myself, because on the website it looks too pale, and I like more rosy blushes.

However, when I put this on it gives me the perfect natural flush...I love it! It's a soft pink without being too overwhelming, which many EDM blushes look like on me. The only problem I have (and this seems to be a pattern with EDM blushes) is that at the end of the day the blush has a more orange tint, rather than the nice pink glow I started with. It still looks natural on me, though, so I gave it a 4 rather than lower. I would still buy this blush again.

I would describe Nick Nack as a dusty pale pink. I can see that this would work wonder for those with fair skin, but I'm NC35-37 with slight olive undertone and it still compliments me very well. I especially love wearing this blush paired with a more dramatic eye makeup and nude pink lips. I find the pigmentation is not as good as Snuggle (my favorite EDM blush!) but it stays on quite well too; 4-6 hours on my oily skin. Overall, it's a really good blush for the price (if you don't mind working with the messy packaging/application).

*Shudder* this makes me look like death walking. Corals aren't my best colors but I look good in say, MAC Dainty....which is a pinky coral. This stuff is just too matte and too light and too orange. I'm a big EDM fan but will definitely not be purchasing this. If you have very light warm skin tone (and love matte), this might be good for you...and the best part is that it comes in the coral matte sample kit so you can try it for free!!

I've always thought that I've got fair skin, but obviously I don't. This blush doesn't show up on my skin at all, even when I tried ''bathing'' my kabuki brush with powder, even double- and triple-dipping!:O

Fortunately, I got this in a free sample package.

The packaging is great though. Even though it's a sample, EM ships theirs in a real mineral box - of course slightly smaller than a normal one - complete with ''mineral holes'' and everything. Big plus!

I am fair skinned and this blush is great for a simple natural flushed look. Very genital formula for those with sensitive skin.

I purchased a sample size jar of this after reading a review on here saying it was the perfect natural flush for light skin. That person was absolutely right! I love this blush. I plan on buying this in a full size when I run out of my two sample sized jars. This is a great dusty, matte pink. I adore this blush and use it almost daily. Great pigmentation.

Very happy I got this blush. I tend to stick with pink shimmery blushes that are too light for me and really do not show up at all on my skintone. I have always been afraid of other blush colors for fear they would make me look clownish, so instead I end up looking like a corpse! Until now. I have fair neutral toned skin and this blush is perfect. HG. Like a previous review stated, I think it is because there is a bit of red that makes the difference. This formula is matte, no shimmer at all. Thanks again to MUA for leading me to this one.

Can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet as Nick Nack is my favorite blush from EDM. I'm very fair, neutral-toned and wear EDM Sandy Fair or Mac NC/NW 10.


I would describe Nick Nack as a pale warm pink with red undertones. It is the exact color I flush so it is the perfect blush for me. Easy to apply with a light hand, yet can be deepened by layering or applying wet.


This is one of their "matte" shades, with no shimmer or sparkle but gives a nice glow and looks so natural.


For comparison with other EDM blushes, I have added a swatch photo (from EDM forums member StephanieLynn) and Nick Nack is the bottom swatch. Click on the photo twice to see it larger.

I am very fair skinned with cool undertones. Most blushers look really unnatural on me. This is the most natural looking blush I've ever used. It gave me a natural looking flush to my cheeks that was quite flattering and even my anti-makeup husband thought it was pretty. Because it's applied on the cheeks, well out of the t-zone, it does not have the melt problems that EM has with products applied to the t-zone and lasts a respectable amount of time. The reason I'm taking off a lippie is that like with all of EM products, the packaging needs improvement, takes up more time getting out enough product than applying it and it's very easy to waste product spilling it trying to get it out. But if you're fair skinned with cool undertones and have problems finding a natural looking blush, I'd definitely recommend this one.

Everyday Minerals
Nick Nack matte blush is my all time HG favorite blush in the whole world. I tired this blush in a sample kit over a year ago. Now i have the full size for 8 dollars and I will continue to order this product forever.

In the package it looks like a light nude blush, a hint of peach/pink and no shimmer at all. Great for fair skin. It brightens up my face without looking like a clown. Its is very build able and when applied its perfect for contouring cheek bones. It does not accent dark parts of my skin such as pimples or imperfections. I love its even application. Best applied with a EM blush brush or kirkland blush brush. I tried the MAC 187 and my 129 and its just doesnt pack on enough colour.

Tips: For the Full size EM blush do not remove the sticker that covers the sift holes. Use a bobby pin or a tooth pick to just puncture 3-4 holes. Less products will come out all at once and helps keep the product cleaner.

Finally,I've been wanting to try this blush out for ages and then I heard about swapping...so I got my pretty blush now. I'm super pale so I needed something very mild or else I'd look like a clown.Apply it very sparingly and you'll a wonderful soft look.I'm a Fair Neutral in EDM base.

This blush is lovely. I think it would look good on most skin types since the color comes off as a subtle pink and it's not too bright. I originally bought a sample of bouquet which I liked but so many reviews I read said nick nack was better so I decided to give it a try. Overall I'd say nick nack is prettier (more pinky) and a bit more noticeable than bouquet. Since bouquet is a tiny bit darker I may just use it for the winter or a night.
Edit: It's nice but I like Milani Luminous better!
